Further entrenching itself in its
position as the world’s foremost auto-
mobile producer, the Chevrolet Motor
Company last week reached a new
mile-stone in its manufacturing his-
tory. With production and sales con-
tinuing at. a record September clip,
the millionth car of 1928 came off the
assembly line at Flint last Tuesday
afternoon.
Due to the high September produc-
tion schedule necessary to meet an
unusually heavy fall demand, no for-
mal ceremonies marked the occasion
although W. S. Knudsen, president of
the Chevrolet Motor Company, R. H.
Grant, vice-president in charge of
sales, C. F. Barth, vice-president in

twenty-seven days. Fliers have triade
the trip in twenty-three days.
Beating'the moon around the earth
is one achievement. The next will
be to TIE the sun in its apparent
journey around the earth.
With machines flying 1,000 miles
an hour, gentlemen wanting a pro-
longed sun bath will be able to fly
directly under the sUn, following it
around the earth for twenty-tour
hours or longer.
New York’s Gvil Service Commit-
sion investigated the qualities of life
guards, hired by politicians to pro-
ject New York City’s beaches. They
: were supposed to dash into the
boiling surf and save the drowning;
It was found that of I63 guards 15
couldn’t' swim a stroke, 18 more re-
fused to ’"risk the swimming test in
the water.” They thought it too dan-
gerous. In the words of Mr. Cook,
of Los Angeles, imagine their em-
barrassment when anyone cried
“help.” There may be something in
the statement that politicians are not
fit to attend to amr kind of business.
In New York they certainly are
jnot fit to select life guards.
When a gasoline launch exploded
on North Bay, Ontario, a pnest, a
man and wife and their two children

After a brief informal ceremony the
millionth car passed through the us-
ual channels of distribution and , was
shipped in a few hours after it came
off the line to. a dealer in the-middle
west. _ .
An idea can be grasped, of the im-
mensity of the task of building 1,000,-1
000 cars in less than eight months
when it is borne in mind that to ac-
hieve this record it was necessary that
a Chevrolet be built approximately
every 10 seconds of every working
day. Computing on the basis that
there are 25 working days a month,
it means that one million, cars were
built in a little more that 200 working
days.
Mr. Knudsen pointed out that the
building of 1,000,000 cars since Jan.
1, would not have been possible with-
out strict adherence to precision meth-
ods. “Chevrolet knows that inaccura-
cies in manufacture and assemblage
