PARKING METERS

parking meter. I have recently
made FIVE trips to Portland and
spent several days there during

tiers. and in every instance I find
that they are accepted in Port
land at the present time almost
unanimously.

biggest problems with which the

Editor. The Times. ! recently

l cannot understand why, at
this time, so many men should

were told, was quota reduction.
Why a quota reduction
1t seems to me that a foreign

small wages and get laid off. It
sure hurts To get so little and

take Of great government pro-
duction plans which will greatly
benefit interior towns. A gem
eral awakening to the actual
responsibility of the United
States toward the protection of
democracy will stimulate indus
try. Individuals will likewise
be inspired TO do their part in
preparations for aid to Britain.
Prosperity will extend to all
parts of the country. but the in
clination to profit greatly will
not be manifested generally.
National Issues: Secret infor-

government policies will be
caused by the need for con-
