There was a guide at the door who took us through the buildings. He was very nice and polite and answered any questions that we asked. After taking us through several large buildings and showing us how the different machinery was operated, he took us to a very large room which had a track similar to a railroad along the side of the room, which was lined with cars. Some looked finished and some did not. Men on both sides were busy doing different tasks on each car. At the end of the line the cars would run off finished and men would drive them a way to be inspected and then take them out to be shipped to dltrerent parts of the world. The whole process of operation was wonderful.-Fletta Freeman, 8B Howard. Jane Carol Sundlof's dog, "Spud," had a scrap with a large police dog last Wednesday.
