Business and public life intertwined in America
An essay notes everyone shares in the business system through wages, investments, and government funding. It laments public spending and comforts for officials, recalls old officers like Maj. George Fitzgerald Lee, and highlights farm policy hurting wheat farmers who must pay 49 cents per extra bushel. It ends by praising the role of the home town newspaper.

Vegetable Automobile Dream From Henry Ford
A long reminiscent piece recounts Henry Ford’s idea of a car with a plastic body largely from vegetables. It notes Soybean as key material, jokes about beans and hay, and praises the notion while cautioning government priorities could hinder such production. Also mentions a wartime OPM appeal and a Beatrice Gittleman quip about fingerprints. The Chrysler tanks remark closes the observation.
