MINISTER ON *** ANIMATED IRONMONGERY.”

The Minister of Transport (Mr. Herbert Morrison), at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the House of Commons, which is con- sidering the Road Traffic Bill, on May 3 expressed the urgent need for keeping "animated ironmon- gers" off the roads on days such as Bank Holidays, Derby Days and Cup final days, when the roada were congested with traffic.

"I cannot see," replied Mr. Mor- rison, "that a man who brings out his vehicle on such days is any the less in need of public control for that day than the man who has got a regular public service vehicle licence. There is a great deni to be said for the view that there is need for particular con- trol on such-days.

"Amendments are inevitable, and we certainly do not want to run the risk of what one might call 'animated ironmongery' coming on to the roads on such occasions."

Eventually the amendment was withdrawn.

order to get money, men have an instrument, or tool, which we call business, to which they devote their time and are concerned with and intent on during the greater part of their active lives.

Business, fundamentally, runs to service, and no business institution, large or small, lasis very long, or thrives, which does not, in some measure at least, render it to society.

Most service takes the form of saving. It involves say- ing time, labour, money. Or doing something easier, better, more efficiently or more economically,

The new Multi-Range Chryslers have brought into existence a new kind of thrilling performance-faster car speed at SLOWER engine speed; amazing accel- eration and smoothness; new ease and swiftness in hill-climbing-the result of many basic engineering improvements:

Never before have you known such ease of gear- shifting--nor such responsive performance. You shift gears faster-with a mere flick of the wrist-and without clashing at any speed.

These new Chryslers radiate quality-both in out- ward design and interior trim. Bodies are longer and wider. Headroom is greater. Truly, these are
