Well, here we are again, with q short issue. 1t
ought to make things easier, not having to put
much on the page, but the contrary, it makes it
harder. It's kind of tough to have everything all
lined up and then have to scrap the whole bunch,
in this case, 1t up for next week. Oh, we'll,
it'll be nice having it all done next week, if I
live that longl I'm that tired. And full week
ahead.
Wish Ar. Roosevelt would fix up plan for put
ting extra day in the week. Maybe I'D get time
to do of the things I've been saving up for
such occasion. Guess it's just well, though,
that he Doesn't. I'D probably fill it up too. and
then would play out in hurryl

Replace RuhIond

Stressing the need for alienation
of the Districts parking problem, the

principle the proposal that future

approved the proposed removal Of

motion, stated DR.. Rutland had
discharged his duties as health Off

excuse for his replacement.

of the boiler inspection and smoke
regulation department of the Dis
trict, addressed the meeting on

DDS Of stopping the smoke nuisance.
TT is surprising" he said, that

still do not know that there are
smoke regulations Most every Of
fender seems willing to cooperate,
especially when they find out that
smoke means they are wasting fuel"
A resolution was approved by the
association asking the Commission
ers to provide an adequate smoke

lions was also approved.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Editor. The Tacoma Times:
The spirit of Christmas touches
the hearts of children, turning
phantasy TO ecstacy as the dawn
of day breaks into dreams held
dear, while Santa Claus, laying
dormant ugh the night,
sprinkles JOY TO awakened hopes
and fears.
AS the years ripen into ma
tured manhood and womanhood,
the thirst for life well spent
becomes a desire satiated only
to those who are temperate, and
have learned by instruction, in
tuition or experience along the
way that those who follow in
paths of disobedience must pay.
The end of the road draws
nigh, and there is no morsel of
satisfaction to the weary soul
who has rejected the only true
way to happiness.
A nation in grief. nation
appalled, by conditions almost
beyond belief, turns reverently
and fervently to God in prayer
for relief,
Steadily forward, in ever in
creasing numbers, move the
forces of those who cared little
for manhood. very little for
childhood, and nothing for
Christ.
W. LEONARD FISHER.

All Together, Now---Pull!

Speculation about the American defense effort may
be put aside We have the verdict of the best qualified
70 know. And his verdict is Not good enough"
William knudsen, production member of the Defense
Commission has made to speak his report the first
six months of the arms production program And his
sidered verdict Is that particularly the vital field OF air.
plane production have fallen 80 cent short of the
goal.
The basic for this shortcomng Knudsen says is
that industry and labor the most important ele-
mnts have not been sold the gravity of the situation
the only marked and immediate increase in pro-
duction be shown is by working six days
week instead of five. When such specific situations
uncovered should be done There plants not yet work
ing three shifts which be placed this basis Every
situation its problem, with varying degrees of
and varying degrees of unused productive capacity
II certain that centralized must be estab
shed to iron out quickly specific kinks in the production
line.
This does not mean that all social gains of shorter hours
and better conditions must be thrown down the drain at
But the power to increase the pressure at certain
points where the botteneks must be granted
The situation has become such that unused capacity
can no longer be tolerated.
Knudsen dead right when says that the public gen.
orally 100 per behind the defense effort And he is
right again when he that he only get this pro-
gram going is to get concerted effort and cooperative
effortan incentive fired with the spirit OF sacrifice from
everybody from the bench to the managers desk"
knudsen hit it again when he said that our problem is
to prove that free people capable OF sedlscplne
and of productive work superior to that Of dctaors sub
jects"
is not much say that the whole future of free
government hangs what the United States is able to
accomplish during the next six months We believe that the
american people prepared to make required
fces through this front provided that the
fices evenly distributed
The armament effort the joint effort of all the
people, not Of classes 1t is for their joint
fety people.
They failed before to do what necessary
be done. They will not fail today
