FIFTY FIFTH YEAR, NO. 1
Local Mechanic Owns Winning Racer
A 1932 Ford with a 1955
Thunderbird engine owned by
Paul Gingrich, Mount Joy R2,
has hit the winning combina-
t'on this year in modified feat-
ures at tracks in the east.
Mr. Gingrich started the idea
of a modified racer back in
1949 as a hobby. Toying with
the idea, he worked on the
car and engine until this year,
he has won first place ten times
out of 16 times at the tracks.
The engine was completely re-
modeled by Mr. Gingrich prior
to racing at the eastern tracks.
Races At Seven Tracks
Vith his driver, Jimmy
Smith of Ridley Park, he has
raced the Ford at Lancaster
Speedway: Washington. D C.:
Hagerstown, Md.;: Dorsey, Md.;
Mason-Dixon Track, Penna.;
Lincoln Track, Penna.; Penn-

Toy
Official Speaks
To Rotary Club
Mount Joy Rotarians at their
meeting Tuesday
by Ben Weaver,
public relations head of the
Hubley Manufacturing Com-
pany of Lancaster. Also present
from Hubley was Charles Heis-
home
Mt.
Mus-
Joy
ser,
porter;
Joy Rl,
heard a talk
ler.
Speaking of progress of indus-
try as a whole, Mr. Weaver
stated that today a man work-
ling 40 hours per week is pro-
ducing as much as three work-
ers at 70 hours did fifty years
ago. Fifty years ago two-thirds
of the energy used in industry
was produced by man or ani-
mal. Today only two per cent
is man or animal produced.
The toy industry today is a
billion dollar business, Mr.
Weaver commented, susceptible
to many influences.
The impact of public reaction
was illustrated by Mr.
in his comments on the effect
of the Davy Crockett boom on
the Hubley company.
With toy guns one of its prin-
cipal lines, the Hubley com-
pany last. year manufactured a
gun similar to Davy Crockett’s
famous “Old Betsey.” The gun
had a normal acceptance, but
nothing phenomenal. At the
end of 1954 the Hubley com-
pany had a surplus of some
100,000 rifle barrels.
In March the Davy Crockett
boom caught fire with a feature
in Life magazine, with some of
the pictures showing a Hubley
gun. Said Mr. Weaver: ‘Thanks
to Davy Crockett we used up
the 100,000 barrels and had to
order 200,000 more.”
One of the toy industry's
chief problems, the speaker de-
clared, is competition from for-
eign markets with their much
lower labor costs
