BENEFIT OF AZUAVUR
The most ambitious Sodality proj¬ ect which has been attempted at Ca¬ nisius College in  the past  few years and  the activity which calls  for the grcatot  amount of crxtf^ration  and hard  work,  is  rapidly being carried out  Hjosr successfully by the entire VS^csjf rn New York Sodality Confer- I encc.    Tliis  group of   colleges   and : acadctnics,   under   the   leadership   of ; Canisius, who stands at the head of \ the union, has contacted every Catho- [ lie  college   and   high  school   in  the ; United States and  has suggested its practical and commendable plan for an organized protest of Catholic stu¬ dents against the current persecution ^ of the Church in Mexico. \
Yhc plan in eficct is simple: each \ institution is asked to set aside some \ week during the season of  Lent, in

In regard to the three poh"cies that were stated in the last issue of the Grifnn. having to do with athletics at Canisius, 1 wish to put forth my views in favor of athletic expansion in football.
.All fair-minded people must ac- knou-Iedge that athlcrics, especially football, play a large part in the school activity of today. .All realize that academic requirements and stand¬ ards are the rirst essentials of a school but how dry and humdrum they would 'Decon:e without athletics.
Now -jince the eyes of the w-hole L'nited States are focused on the t'ooc- bai! teams of the leading colleges each Saturday during the I'aU. it seems that it could 'pe profitable and only right for all colleges to strive for supremacy in a line 0: endeavor that brings such great supremacy and would place them on the front page of the leading newspapers.

—The Editor.
Witness the cranking, pushing and starting of the typical Canisius hack in the parking lot on any frigid morn¬ ing and vxHi would hardly suspect any coneteviion 'oerweef. the cottscructioti o; automobiles and scietKe. But be¬ lieve it or not. there is a very definite one and si> twenty-Hve Strohaverians under the guidance of Mr. .Austin McTigue. M. S.. t'neir m.oderator. >{vnt an itistnictive and enjoyable aiterno^sji on February 13, inspecting the Ford .Assembly Plant. They wit- nes.sed the tramfornution of various parts into a snurt lo<jking Ford V-S.
The Ford plant is siow assembling 31.^ cars a day. or if v-ou prefer, one car every four minutes. F'trst oi all ' the frame is Ducoed by dunking it in huge 500 gallon paint buckets and then it is completely dried in two minutes by passing it through an in¬ tensely heated tunnel (about 2,000 degrees). Next the frame is placed on two moving rollers.   Each group
of workers is specialised in a cenain field ox wors. like up'aolsterx'. Thus t'ne car proceeds on its trip around the plant. FHiring the journey, the wheels, the motor, the accessories are JEistalled. .A certain group even sup¬ ply the car with gas and oil. Finally the car is started tor the first time with much less eftort than your cor¬ respondent e.xerts getting his model T under way. Messrs. Dubanitz and Goodman who are continually check¬ ing on the latest imperfections of their motors, were astounded to see an en¬ tire motor installed in two minutes.
George F. Murphy, president of the club, has appointed \Villiam Wahl. better known as the little man with the big bag of tricks from Tona- wanda, to arrange the next trip. From confidential sources it is rumored he is arranging a trip to the Huntley Steam Station, Western New York's largest electrical plant.
