IN boosting home industries. The pay

architects Of our city's future great

lie merits of nome MANUFACTURED
products" said mayor Chas. Davis
Il believe this IS a worthy and
patriotic work. During war times. IL
behooves all OF US 70 utilize every
available resource FL Paso has many
plants capable OF turning out sup
plies needed at home. BY patroniZing
home industry, We keep money at
home. we give employment to people
here who need it-perhaps in many
cases to dependents Of sOldiers-and
we are relieving the drain on the sup
plies Of the rest Of the nation so that
they may be directed into the proper
channels for winning the war.
There has never been q time when
the United States needed its food as II
does now. Every ounce is needed II

instance. encourage the canning OF a
thousand more cans Of FL Paso val

for use Of the army and for the aid
Of our allies In the past, products
Of our valley have gone to waste for

being canned. FL PasOans should ask
for these products and thus encOur-

stop the drain on other communities.
where the government IS anxious 10
take all the food that can be spared
I'VE can encourage our local indus
les and help our government by
buying other things that are made
here. too. for we have reached a point
where, during the war. we must con-
serve everything we produce in this
country. In buying FL PasO made
brooms. for instance. FL PasO people
prevent the iObhers having 10 20 into
the eastern market for brooms. where
the army is trying TO buy all Il can
get only recently il was stated that
there was a broom famine when the
government attempted to buy several
thousand.
Il might mention several other
things that we could buy that are
made in or produced near Ell Paso,
