...June, on Blue Mountain and Morant Estates in the Parish of St. Thomas, the coconut pickers were on strike for a week, then went back to work at their old rate. The week before the strike they did twice their usual work so that they would lose nothing by a week of rest...
...years every German who works will or can be the owner of a KdF car. No manna falls from heaven! If you want socialistic advantages you must work for them. National Socialism is not weakly but manly Socialism! We hope the KdF car will even raise the German birth rate by encouraging German families to have four or five children to fill it. ... This very year the first section of the KdF factory, which will have an annual production of 450,000 cars, will have a roof over its head!" Taking his cue from the KdF car, radiorating Minister...
...Robert's accident last week furnished additional proof for the heartening facts that 1) babies are tough, 2) superficial signs of death do not always mean what they say.

Even blueness is not so much a sign of approaching...

S. metropolitan area. Competing big stations contended that 500-kw. superpower is too rich a plum to give to one station...
Suspicion of Cuban reserves dates back to an 1880 incident involving an unfortunate Chinese. Digging a water well in Motembo for his master, he presumably stopped for a smoke, at any rate was blown to bits. Promptly forming a company, his master drilled three 900-foot holes on the site, brought in Cuba's first gushers, each producing distillate. Geologists thought this shallow production came from a deeper and much larger reservoir, but drilling equipment was inadequate and nothing further was done about...
