do our part We secured the country
for raw materials-our Traffic Mana

manufacturers to increase their de1lv-

But 1T was slow process. Some
OF our raw materials are produced
only in Japan--supplies in this coun-
try were low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far

them as foremen. We invented new
machinery, and managed to install it

preventing these diseases which sap
the very life of our community.
