"All along this year." said a local
merchant TO Here and There yester-
day, trade has been as good as 1t
was In the fall and even a little bet

them. especially negro women. showed
an indication to want to buy stuff that
is now 20 cents and 25 cents and the

when Lieutenant Malone OF the pro-
vost guard at Camp Greene, came
over to Yorkville not long after a SOL
dicr who had gone \. W. .. l., he
asked Sheriff Quinn il this was the
same Yorkville that had been n mill
tary port in the early 70's. Sheriff
Quinn told him that II was the same
place. Whereupon the lieutenant in
formed the sheriff that his father had
at one time been stationed here. Sher-
III Quinn took Lieutenant Malone
down to the Rose old hotel which had
served as barracks for the garrison,
and gave him quite a lot Of informa-

here in the early seventies.

night. Even the full measure Of
some of these new problems could
not be fully gagged at once. The
first Of the great new problems with
which we grapplsd was that Of
foods. Then came the problem OF
fuel. At first glance the fuel prob
lem would appear comparatively
simple. But it turned out that men
skilled in that sort of work we're
needed in other work, too. The
army had to have some Of them.
Some were needed in shipbuilding,
in the manufacture OF ordnance, Of
motor trucks, of aircraft-of thou
sand other things. Again, coal min
ing methods involve the presence
at the mine of coal cars. Unless
The cars are ready and waiting at
the tipple bituminous coal can't be
mined. 1t can't be taken out and
held for the future arrival Of cars.
And the railroads, called upon to
carry an unprecedented volume OF
freight, broke down and couldn't
do Il.
$50 it appeared that the fuel
problem was inevitably linked with
the transportation problem. And
its solution demanded, not the sim
pie process Of increasing the sup
ply, but the complicated one of re-
ducing the demand. The same
remedial process had to be applied
to the labor problem, which was
also linked with the problem of fuel
and Of transportation.
Step by step we came to an un.
derstanding Of what had to be done.
Problem after problem, clamoring
for solution, forced US to get down
to basic, fundamental facts. Grad
ually, without ruinous dislocation
of business and the national life, we
had to stop doing things that were
not essential in order that essen
