HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1929-12-05, Page 7'Gain in Autos .Continues Over Entire World Constantly increasing Demand is Shown by Reports of Many Countries People living in Canada : have OM - MIRY visualizing conditions in many other countries pertaining to automo- bile transportation. In the United States we read .reports to the effect that there is one autonfobile to each 4,99 inhabitants, while theta Is about one car for each 9 people in Canada. 'When these people go out fora ride an a fair weather Sunday, they readily conclude that the number of motet vehicles here is even larger. It is bard to believe that such a large and very thickly populated nation as. China,. with about three times as many human beings as are found in America, had fewer than 25,000 auto- mobiles. The area of fewest automobiles 15 bald to '+e the Solomon Islands, in the South Pacific, which have altogether only two of these motor vehicles.. There are millions of people who have never heard el an automobile, muph less seen one, There are only four -countries in the world that have as many as a million automobiles and only one country that has more than 1,500,000. This country is the United. States, with its approximately 24,800,- 000 cars. Growth of Automobiles Automobiles in use throughout the world Increased 8.6 per cent. last year. These figures are from the annual. world motor census, made by the American Automobile Association, and are probably the most accurate btatistice available, The total number of passenger cars, motor trucks and buses in operation in all the nations of the world, as. of January lst last, is placed at 31,929,952. By this time this figure is doubtless well over the 32,000,000 mark. It is interesting to note that the in- crease in the slumber of automobiles in countries outside of the United States, as a group, last year was larger than even in this country. The gain in other countries amounted to 16.5 per cent, as compared to 5 per cent. for the United States. However, the total number of ears, motor trucks and buses in operation in all foreign countries was less than 7,500,000, but was a million more than in the pre- vious year. Next to the United States, New Zea- land has the greatest number of auto- mobiles per capita, the figure being bre for each 8.9 inhabitants. Canada is third with one car to each nine Persons. While 71 per cent, of the world's motor vehicles are in the United States this country has manu- factured anefactured 83.5 per cent. of the world's production of 'automobiles. Last year European automobile makers pro- duced nearly 600,000 cars and trucks, which was a small advance over the previous year. These figures do not take into account the American auto- mobiles which are assembled in sub- sidiary plants in Europe. Comparison of Numbers Some idea of the contrast between the number of automobiles in the United States and in other countries is found in the fact that the City of Los Angeles alone has more than 100,- 000 more registered automobiles than are to be found in either Germany or Ausaralia. This American city has twice as many cars as Adgentina, aout four times as many as the whole of Italy or Spain or Brazil or New Zea- land, Inclia, with its vast population, has only 131,000 registered oars. Egypt, Sammie center of ancient cul- ture and civilization, has less than 26,- 000 registered cars Poland has 27,- 000. Automobiles are said to be first In exports .of manufactured products from the United States. Last year, according to the Department of Com- merce reports, cars and parts valued at more than $500,000,000 were ship- ped to foreign buyers. It is evident that the steady increase in the num- ber of autdanobiles in various coun- tries throughout the world, which is bound to come, will be made possible in the main by American care. Some of the American automobile manufac- tuning concerns have already estab- lished enormous manufacturing and assembling plants in some foreign countries, and this sort of expansion will probably pontinue. Necessity for Export In the mean time the exporting of automobiles made in American fac- tories is necessary to keep production In large 'enough volume to keep the, cost and' prises down for the benefit of both the customers in this country and abroad. Exporting is also essen- tial to keep the more than 4,000 ,000 peraoDs. rij%eetI3, nr iprliretly employed in tbie country at work, It,; will be interesting to note the changes which take place in some of the large countries like China as the number oof automobiles inereases. It can be taken for granted that as.tbo high- ways and as g number of cars inc s rapid 11be d ways aro improved there w i p advances in the use of modern im- provemente now often not a•Gnilable, Citizens will have facilities foe more comfortable living and hl goat a 1 broads' view ^ of life, due 1 the more extensive travel mr^'"o possible.

Eight years ago a solitude sprink- led with sagebrush and greaseweed, the sun turning its implacable rays and direct flame, devouring it, a solitude 25 miles in length, hollowed out between rows of high stone faced hills dotted with soldier like pine trees, to -day, a gigantic basin of earn - verdure, planted to over 100,000 bear- ing'fruit trees and surrounded by an enormous ribbon like concrete ditch,. filled to the brim with pure water. Such is tb.e brief history of this, one of the largest irrigation projects in the Dominion. Pessimists, and there were a large number, branded the scheme with various cognomens. The pioneer settlers, mostly men woo had fought their country's battles fought another battle here for a bare existence until such time as orchards became productive. Looking • for a crop which would. produce ready cash these pioneers developed the Oliver Cantaloupe, now sold from coast to coast, and eontld erect the best cantaloupe produced Canada. • Until last year the district had been in the doldrums. Money was scarce,'. land prices almot prohibitive for new settlers, . interest on land purchased was eating up all the money settlers could make while waiting for their orchards to Dome into production. This year the government took ac- tion, All summer long a reclassifica- tion of land has been made, drastic cuts in land prices recommended and finally notified by the provincial gov- ernment, Immediately the new prices went into effect some five weeks ago, an influx of new settlers commenced. Large blopks of lana, one firm Pur- chasing 340 acres which is now part- ly and will all be planted to peaches, have been sold by the government. Over 75 ten acre lots, the standard commercial orchard size for one man, have been bought. New buildings are going up in all directions and new inclustries started. The dream of the Iate Hon. John Oliver, premier of British Columbia and sponsor of the immense irrigation scheme, has come to pass. One of the most interesting astro- nomical discoveries of the last century was that of the discovery of Neptune. For a long-time it was thought that Uranus was the farthest planet from the sun. But there was a strange thing about Uranus. John Couch Adams noticed that the orbit of Ur- anus was regularly deflected from the normal course; from Which he infer- red the attraction Of some greater hid- den body With the true instinct of the scientist he set himself to find out what the hidden body was which de- flected Uranus 7n this. way; and away In the unfathomable blue he • dis- covered a great planet, eighty-five brae the size of out earth, which was subsequently called' Neptune He found it because of the attractive in- fluence which that groat hidden body exercised upon the smeller.
