THE EAST HAMPTON S T A R THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1938 THREE MONTAUK Montauk Boy Scout Troop Now An Assured Fact The establishment of a Boy Scout Troop at Montauk seems to be an assured fact, following a conference at the Montauk School last Monday evening. The Montauk School Board has agreed to sponsor the troop, a local committee consisting of Richard Gilmartin, James R. Riley, Henry Tilden, Charles Tuma and Clifford Windsor has been formed. George Hlvac has accepted the responsibility of being Scout Leader, with Principal Carleton E. Farrell and Rev. John M. Gordon as assistants. The Troop Committee and Scout Leaders attended a four- hour class of instruction in Boy Scout methods at the school with R. G. Anderson of Scout headquarters in Port Jefferson giving the instruc tions. Next Wednesday the com mittee meets in Bridgehampton to see that troop in action. A number o f the older boys were at the school and talked with Mr. Anderson. The plan is to advance these boys as rapidly as possible in Scout work to make room for a troop of younger boys. Montauk is an ideal locality for scouting and there are definite plans to set up a Sea Scout unit this summer. Attempts to tow the house of Wilfred Paon across the Tuthills Pond have been abandoned tempor arily for a new idea to take the house out on the lake and around the hills to its former foundation. The former house of Dr. Norman Kirk has already come out of the pond easily and the small house of Charles Hansen. Mrs. Walter Briands’ house likewise will probab ly be moved more easily across dry land than putting it back in the water. Practically all shoring and raising work has been completed and this week should see the last of this type of work on the beach. The American Red Cross office force w ill be rediiced this week and it is hoped to complete all cases by Fri day. After that time Supervisor of the Office, Miss Mary Weldon, will stay at Montauk to complete the dis bursing of the alloted funds. MONTAUK'S THREE WEEKLIES Montauk has three full grown weekly newspapers at the present time which has lead to a great deal of neighborhood feeling. Virgil Conway, Bernard Farrell, and Jas. Gilmartin, writing under the names of Red Eagle, Red Hawk and White Bull, respectively, put out a paper known as the ‘‘Montauk Tom-Tom, along with some of their other In dian adventures, and described some of their hunts for Indian treasure. No sooner was the paper sold from house to house by Running Deer (Raymond Arvidson) than a second sheet appeared called the “Montauk Beacon,” neatly hecto- graphed by Cloyd Aarseth, and an other group of youngsters. Not to be outdone, the girls came out with a paper called the “Montauker,” which proved to be a far superior work from a journalistic standpoint than any of the previous papers. Not only did it give news but it had a joke column and a page of cook ing recipes. The \Montauker” was handicapped by lack of reproduction Each is hand-typed and the present schedule does not permit more than one paper an eve ning. However, the press room is planning on doubling present capa city in the near future. Pickets have been busy all over Shepherd's Neck with signs asking all not to buy the \Montauk Tom-Tom,” ‘Montauk Beacon,” or ‘‘Montauker,'' as sympathies run. Second editions have not yet appeared of any of the papers, due to lack of advertising contracts. Each paper sells for a penny, the special engrossed issue of the “Montauker” being two cents. The boys have been so used to pass ing slips of paper in the door and collecting a penny, that one lad net ted twenty cents last evening dis tributing election handbills. “I didn’t ask them for anything,” he explained, “I just rang the door bell and they handed me a penny for the paper.” MONTAUK COMMUNITY CHURCH Rev.

Opposed to this was the old Turkey, fanatic and corrupt. Christian mis sionary schools have not flourished. However, medical missionaries have made the Turkish people aware of the worth of Christian teaching by the work they have been doing in Turkey.

By every one doing his best in the jo b he thinks most useful, this country is g o ing to regain its momentum. W e have tried to do our best in our job. W h e n business was suddenly halted in its recov ery more than a year ago, we determined that we should keep going anyway, i f not at full-volume m otor car production, then at getting ready for greater m otor car values that would help future production. EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE W e began to build 34 million dollars’ worth o f new plants and equipment. W e felt that if we could not employ all our men building m otor cars, we would employ as many as we could building better production facilities. W e were told, o f course, that this was no time for expansion, that a wiser business policy would be to \h o ld everything”— which means, stop everything. But no on e ever g o t anyw h e re standing still. Besides, we are not defeatists. W e d o not believe this country has seen its best days. W e believe this country is yet in the infancy o f its growth. W e be lieve that every atom o f faith invested in our Country and our People will be amply justified by the future. W e believe America is just beginning. Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity. Never yet have we seen adequate Production. But we shall see it! That is the assurance in which we have built. Business is not just com ing back. It will have to be brought back. That is now becoming well understood in this country; for that reason 1939 will be a co-operative year. Manufacturers, sellers and buyers will co-operate to bring back the busi ness that is waiting to be brought back. This construction program is almost completed. It has increased activity and payrolls in a number o f related industries. It has given us better facil ities for building better cars and trucks, and eventually our new tractor which is being perfected. THIS MEANS M O RE VALUE T h e current program has provided a new tire plant, which will turn out a part o f our tire require ments . . . a new tool and die plant that will help us cut the cost o f dies . . . and a steel-press plant that will enable us to make more o f our own auto mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants we already had for producing glass, iron, steel, plastics, and many other things. W e don’t supply all our own needs, o f course, and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing Henry and Ediel Ford, on the occasion o f the 35 th anniversary o f the founding o f the Ford Motor Company, June 16 , 1958 that no one’s hand touches but ours. O f nearly everything else we use we build some quantity ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more economical ways o f doing it. T h e experience and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our suppliers, and with other industries. W e take no profit on anything we make for ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation, from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. T h e only profit is on the finished result — the car or truck as it comes off the line. Some years, there is no profit for us. But we see to it that our customers always profit. A basic article o f our business creed is that no sale is economically constructive unless it profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller. Our new plants have helped us build more value into all our cars for 1939. That means more profit on the purchase to the purchaser. W e have not cut quality to reduce costs. W e simply will not build anything inferior. N EW TESTING EQUIPMENT W h ile we were putting up new plants to produce cars, we constructed new equipment to test them. The first weather tunnel o f its kind ever built for automobile research went into operation at our laboratories this year. It makes any kind o f weather to order. The weather it delivers every day would take months to find in Nature. Our cars are weather-tested to give you good service in any climate anywhere. In other tests, every part o f the car is pun ished unmercifully. Then our engineers tear it down to see if they can find abnormal wear or any sign o f weakness. The money we spend on tests saves you money on repairs. And your family car is safer and more dependable when we put it in your hands. THE NEW CARS W e have two new Ford cars for 1939— better cars and better looking— but we also have an entirely new car. It’s called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line between the D e Luxe Ford and the Lincoln- Zephyr. It is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and a new 95-horse power V-type 8-cylinder engine. W e know that our 1939 cars are cars o f good quality. W e think they’re fine values in their price classes. W ith new cars, new plants, new equipment, the whole Ford organization it geared to go forward. FORD MOTOk COMPANY, Dearborn, Michigan
