HIGH SCHOOL NEWS. (Continued from page 7.) colors, blue in distance but nearer they are brown, light brown, middle brown, and dark brown with green sides and lysante tops which makes them quite as if they were lighted by the sun; and in the afternoon in quiet weather they are almost lost in a heavy dis tance, which makes them enchanting, We have clear streams which come from the mountains and brown streams which come from the glaciers; great and diverse water falls which are one of the greatest beauties in Ice land. Next time I will send you pic tures of some .of them. In Iceland there are glaciers in here with cover ings. both in winter and summer, and it is very difficult to journey over them because of their precipitionsness and deep clefts, and sometimes because ol the streams which are only bridged in the cultured parts of Iceland. They are brown heaths with green matts, There are also woods yet there are few of them. Before there were many; the country was almost covered with wood from the mountains to the sea; but the inhabitants burned them, now they have done much to cultivate them again. There are great and small ponds, and the largest of them is Hingvallavatu in the southern of Iceland. I will also send you a picture of it. Before people in Iceland es pecially used horses to draw their ' carriages, carry their loads ,and for riding, and to they were the most useful animals because then the ways were very bad. Later came automo biles. At first no one dared to travel with them, but soon the bravest made up their mind to run the risk, and now there are a great many automobiles in the whole country; that is to say in the inhabited part of it, Iceland is not inhabited all over. In the middle of it there are great inhabitable parts. We also have motor cycles and bi cycles. I and my brother have bicy cles and we use them now because here is no snow' and the streets are dry. In last summer we got a little aero plane from Deutschland and was ex penally used by tourists (not xoretgn.j Next summer we are going to have one. and I am very glad for it, and hope to travel with it next summer. In summer there come many tourists to see our small country from U.S. A., England. Deutchland, and many other countries, but they remain here so short time that they only see very lit tle of Iceland. They buy very much Icelandic things; dolls in native dTess. and many others. You asked it we used sleighs and dogs here in winter, but we don’t use them at all because there is not enough snow here, and we always can use au tomobiles, at least in the southern part of Iceland; in the northern part H is colder and they perhaps some times use sleighs and horses, but never dogs Winter is not cold here and summer not very warm. Yet last summer they say was cloudless for weeks, and we had somethimes 38 to 99 degrees. Now there has been quiet weather here for a very long time, and we are very surprised when we read in newspapers that there is a great deal of snow and cold in the southern part of Europe, and the ninny people die with cold, also In America. The pond in Reykjavik which I have described before is not iced so we are not able to skate. Our sports in win ter are skating, sleigh riding, we run in skies, swimming both in summer and winter in a swimming bath which ns a little outside of Reykjavik but is only a little refreshing walk. In summer we dance, and usually much more In winter, ride in the country on our Icelandic ponies, we haw coasting, ten nis. golf, foot-hall, hase-ball and we sometimes play picket, and ascent mountains. We travel in the country with automobiles, on foot, and with tents on our blcyclies, and when there are manv aeroplanes in the little dear Iceland I think they will be much used to travel with.

THE CHEVROLET SIXES SHOW LARGE PRODI'CTTON Assurance that Chevrolet’s position as "world’s largest builder of auto mobiles’’ will be sustained again this vear, is contained in official production figures which give 106,914 passenger car and truck units as output for the first 46 days production on the new sizes. This figure not only eclipses all previous records of manufacturers of six cylinder cars, but actually ex ceeds the entire year’s output of any other manufacturer during the first year. The figures ns revealed by W. S. Knudsen, president of the compnny date from December 16th to February 1st. January production was R6.17R. meaning that 20,736 units were pro duced the last two weeks of December. A highlight of this remarkable 46 day production record was the manu facture, January 31, of 6.729 cars. This was peak for any dav during the period and can be regarded ns an in dication that February would find all Chevrolet’s mammoth productive fa cilities geared to meet maximum quo tas. Chevrolet’s peak day as a pro ducer of sixes does not compare un favorably with the company’s all time record for a single dav. which occur red May 23. 192R, when 7 076 four cylinder units were produced. Further comnnrison with last year shows that production this January is onlv 6 406 units less than January 1923, despite numerous handicaps in cident to a changeover as hugh ns Chevrolet effected successfully last fall. And it is 12,602 in excess of January, 1927, when 73,676 four cyl inder units were turned out. Last fall’s turnover involved 20 widely scat tered plants, and called for an entire ly new set of machine tools, patterns and dies. Replacement began while the company still was engaged in tensively in volume production of last year’s four cylinder car—an achieve ment, which for speed and efficiency, has never been surpassed in the in dustry. Some interesting statistics relative to the turnover were recalled last week by Mr. Knudsen, who declared that the Flint Motor plant manufactured 12,006 motors, an average of better than 1,000 per working day, between No vember 15th, when the six cylinder an. nouncement was made, and December 1. During December, he related, 60, 000 motors were produced, an average of better than 2,000 a day. All of which would seem to indicate that Chevrolet was well fortified when it made and kept its promise of de liveries January 1, six weeks from the time the new car was announced. Production this year calls tentatively for 1,250,000 units. Several import ant expansions, completed during the past 12 months, have increased the company’s annual capacity hy 250,000. Last year Chevrolet outlined a pro duction program calling for 1,000,000 cars, and actually surpasser this quota by 200,000 in a little more than 10 months time. SUPERVISOR’S PROCEEDINGS.
