Michigan’s Pioneer,
Henry Ford Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863. He grew up on a farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan. He was the oldest of six children. He went to a one room school house and did farm chores. At an early age he became interested in mechanical things and found out that he didn’t like to do farm work. At the age of sixteen in 1879, he left home and went to Detroit to work as an apprentice machinist. He was an apprentice for three years before returning to Dearborn. Once back in Dearborn, he operated and repaired steam engines, overhauled his father’s farm implements and occasionally worked in a Detroit factory. In 1888, he married Clara and made his living running a sawmill. In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. He was promoted to Chief Engineer in 1893 which gave him enough money and time to devote his attention to personal experiments on internal combustion engines. These experiments came to a head in 1896 when he completed his self-propelled vehicle called the Quadricycle commonly called the “gasoline buggy�. It had four wire wheels, was steered with a tiller and had only two forward speeds. Ford was not the first to built a self-propelled vehicle with a gas engine but one of several pioneers. He drove it around for two years and it drew a crowd everywhere he went. The Ford Motor Company was incorporated in 1903 with Ford as vice-president and chief engineer. They produced only a few cars a day at the factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit. Two or three men worked on each car with components made to order by other companies. Ford’s dream of producing an automobile that was reasonably priced, reliable and efficient came true with the introduction of the Model T in 1908. Some called it the “Tin Lizzie� and the “Flivver�.
The original cost was $950. It became a huge success because it was easy to operate, maintain and handle. The Ford Company opened a large factory at Highland Park, Michigan in 1910 and in 1913 had a continuous moving assembly line. Workers remained in place, adding one component to each automobile as it moved past them on the line. Delivery of parts by a conveyor belt to Model T the workers made it smooth and efficient. This moving assembly line revolutionized automobile manufacturing which lowered costs. Ford’s production of the Model T made them the largest automobile manufacturer in the world. In the late 1910’s, the company built the River Rouge Plant in Dearborn. This plant included making all the elements needed for production of the automobile. In 1918, half of the cars in America were Model T’s. Sales lagged in the 1920's as other car makers offered more options and financing. Ford and his son Edsel designed a new car, the Model A. This gave them the boost they needed. In his lifetime, Ford also made airplanes including a twelve passenger plane called the “Tin Goose� and tractors. In 1932, the first V8 Ford car was built. This pioneer died at the age of 83. He worked hard throughout his life and helped make MIchigan great!

The Barry County Bar Association is very excited about the Kids World News publication. Our membership thought it would be fun to submit a short statement each month related to the law.

Calvin Coolidge 30th President of the United States 1923-1929 John Calvin Coolidge Jr. was born on July 4, 1872 in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. He was the only U.S. President to be born on the 4th of July. He first attended Black River Academy where there was nine in his graduating class. Then Coolidge graduated from Amherst College with honors and entered law and politics in Northampton, Massachusetts. Slowly...methodically... he moved up the political ladder from councilman in Northampton to Governor of Massachusetts as a Republican. On this route, he became thoroughly conservative. In 1905, Coolidge met and married Grace Anna Goodhue, a teacher at the Clarke School for the Deaf. They complimented each other, as she was talkative and fun loving. He was quiet and serious. They had two sons, John and Calvin Jr. Their marriage was a happy one. As Coolidge wrote in his autobiography, “We thought we were made for eachother. For almost a quarter of a century she has borne with my infirmities, and I have rejoiced in her graces.” Coolidge was nominated in June of 1920 for Vice President to run with Warren G. Harding for President on the GOP ticket and won. He was the first Vice President to attend cabinet meetings. On August 3, 1923, Calvin Coolidge received word that he was the President after Harding died. His father, who was a Notary Public administered the Oath of Office using the family Bible. At a time when the Presidency reached a low point in our history, his task became to restore the dignity and honor of the Presidency according to many. He rapidly became popular. In 1924, he polled more than 54 percent of the popular vote when he was elected president. His Inaugural Address was the first to be broadcast on the radio. Coolidge restored public confidence in the White House after the scandals of his predecessor’s administration. After retiring, he and Grace moved to “The Beeches” a secluded home in Northampton. He died there of heart failure in 1933. Presidential Accomplishments and Trivia: • His Presidential salary was $75,000.
• He cut the National Debt of 22.3 billion in 1923 to 16.9 billion by 1929. • He cut taxes four out of his six years as president. • He cut federal expenses from $5.1 billion to $3.3 billion by 1929. • Industrial Production increased 70% from 1922 to 1928. • Avoided war with Mexico and restored good relations with them. • Withdrew U.S. troops from Nicaragua. • Dedicated Mount Rushmore. • Authorized the construction of Hoover Dam. • Signed legislation making Indians U.S. Citizens. • Opposed U.S. participation in the League of Nations.

“Bundle Up So You Don’t Catch Cold!” We hear that sentence quite often during the colder months. Everyone seems to get a cold at some point or another during the school year inspite of all the precautions. Did you know that the cold is the number one reason kids stay home from school? What exactly is a cold? A cold is an infection of the upper respiratory system caused by a virus. It affects the throat, ears and nose. The most common cold virus is called the rhinovirus (pronounced rahy-noh-vahy-ruhs) but there are more than two hundred other viruses that can cause a cold. There is not even a vaccination to prevent the common cold yet. But luckily for us, our immune system defends our bodies against illnesses. White blood cells are the body’s fighters that work to help you feel better. Catching a cold is easy but not fun. Mucus is the slimy stuff that’s inside the nose. When a person sneezes or coughs, mucus drops float in the air. Breathing in these drops can spread a cold from one person to another. You can also catch a cold by touching something with the cold virus on it like a door handle, desks, phones, video games and then touch your eyes, mouth or nose. That’s why it’s so important to wash your hands often. Some symptoms of a cold virus are a low-grade fever, body chills, itchy or sore throat, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, coughing, tiredness, body aches and congestion. If you feel any of these things, its best to tell your parents or a responsible adult. Sometimes children can develop complications from their cold, such as an ear infection, sinusitis or can trigger asthma so your parents need to know how you are feeling. How can you prevent getting the common cold? Here’s some ideas:
Help Fight The War On Germs! • Try to steer clear of anyone who has a cold. Virus particles can travel up to twelve feet through the air when someone with a cold coughs or sneezes. • Wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially when you blow your nose. • Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Sneeze or cough into a shirtsleeve and not your hands. • Do not use the same towels or silverware as someone who has a cold. • Do not drink from the same glass or bottle as anyone else. You never know who’s getting sick. • Do not pick up tissues from other people. Make sure they are always thrown away be the person using them. • Don't be around smoke. Cigarette smoke can irritate the airways and increase susceptibility to colds and other infections. • Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Get a good amount of sleep, eat well balanced meals and get plenty of physical exercise.

A Hungry Dinosaur The dinosaur known as the Brontosaurus is now called the Apatosaurus. It was one of the largest land animals that has ever existed. This dinosaur lived in what is known as the Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago. The Apatosaurus, hatched from enormous foot long eggs, may have lived long enough to celebrate 100 birthdays! This huge dinosaur was a herbivore which means it ate only plants. The hungry Apatosaurus must have spent his entire day munching and crunching on plants to maintain his massive body. This gigantic plant-eater measured about 80 feet long or close to the length of two school buses. it stood about 30 feet tall or the height of a 4 story building. It weighed roughly 30 tons; the weight of 10 cars! Apatosaurus had a very tiny brain in a small head which was less than 2 feet long.

I Want To Be A Veterinarian! A veterinarian is another family doctor if you have pets! Veterinarians diagnose and control animal diseases, treat sick and injured animals and prevent the transmission of animal diseases to people. They also advise animal owners on proper care of pets and livestock. A vet also helps to ensure a safe food supply by maintaining the health of food animals. Did you know that veterinarians are involved in wildlife preservation and conservation too? The first step to becoming a veterinarian is to decide that veterinary medicine is the right choice for you! Some kids decide at a young age, like the first time they take the family pet to have a check up or the veterinarian visits the family farm to check the health

of the animals. To become a veterinarian, you need to have an inquiring mind, keen observation skills and study hard. You also need to enjoy working with many types of animals, get along with people and LOVE BIOLOGY!!
