GASLESS SUNDAYS
1t looks though gas-less Sundays are coming.

1t looks as though gas-less Sundays are coming
To the people in town who like to go motoring
on Sunday who Sunday day to drive out to
relatives and friends it would be definite sacrifice
at first to leave the in the garage all day.
But many of would welcome the opportunity to
make such sacrifice if it evident that by doing
We were strengthening nations defense.
AS far as the people of this town 60, gasless Sun
days would be taken in stride and there wouldn't any
complaining But the small group in town who hap
pen to be in the gasoline business running local stations
would suffer real hardship there prosperous busi
ness day was taken away from them.
The purpose of gas-less Sundays would be reduce
our consumption of gasoline and oil and that means TAX
ing dollars out of the pockets of the gasoline dealers
They too will be willing to make that sacrifice if the
government finds that is vital to do So but hope if
there any other practical solutions the oil problem
such pipelines to the eastern coast they will be adopt
ed.
Any action which penalties one group without af-
fectng others is always distasteu to Americans We
know that group after another during the present
emergency will be called upon sacrifice but we hope
that none will be asked to do so unnecessarily

CAPITALIZE ON YOUR CHANCE"

In Detroit, in 1882 expressman drove up in front
of small frame house and delivered five gallon tin
named T. Tom Collord signed for the package and
opened it. He had ordered paint from company in Bos-
ton. But when he opened the can he found something
that looked like milk He smelled it. there was smell
like ammonia
He about to start upstairs to write the company
to send for their when he dipped paint brush in it
and smeared some of plank. In hour it had dried
Then he noticed that the brstles of his brush
Collord was down to his last cent. He also owed his
landloard lot of money but he determined to keep
busy so he had sent for the paint and going try
to introduce it to Detroit industry.
He painted this mixture on a piece of
fabric and then board Accidentally he laid the rub
ber-treaed fabric top of the board The stuck
gether. Why did it stick? he asked himself.
He wrote the company in Boston, and they told him
their shipping clerk had made mistake and sen him five
gallons of atex instead of paint. They said was
good and to dump into the gutter Colord didn't know
what atex When he looked it up he found it was
the milk from a rubber tree.
When he found that the board and the patch of rub
ber stuck idea born in his mind. few months
before this he had been in the Chryser factory
girls painting rubber cement on CLOTH Maybe this
new stuff of his was better, he thought
He went into action. He read, he asked questions
he investigated he experimental month passed. Two
three He went back to the factory and asked
the in charge The said 81 have never
anything like this Those words changed Collords
life.
He perfected his idea of applying rubber to wood
and metal He not scientist; knew nothing about
chemistry physics But there were men who did know
Well the upshot of it is that he developed a brand
industry in America He supplies greater quantity
of body trim and rubbercovered metal parts to
the automobile industry than any other company in the
world. In single year the firm he founded turns out rs
to 40 million parts. He told he had built and lined
the longest plating tank in the world-162 feet.
H. Tom Colord has done remarkable thing Broke
and out Of job he capitalized bit of luck, caught
vision of the possibilities and built up industry
Had he lacked pluck determination he wouldn't have
done that. Any day you may have luck, too The i'm
portant thing is what you do with your chance.

General satisfaction has been ex-
pected by congressman over Presi-
dent Roosevert's Supreme court
appointments, particularly over
the appointment of Harlan Fiske
Stone as chief justice. Justice
Stone has been a member of the
court for 16 years. When the
court convenes In October for it's
next session, Justice Stone and
Justice owen D. Roberts will be
the only members not appointed
by President Roosevelt.
The Presidents new appointees,
who will sit On the court for the
first time in October, are both
strong New Dealers. Sen. James
Francis Byrnes, who replaces JUS
tice MeReynolds, who retired last
January, has been a leading admin
istration leader in the senate. Rob-
ert H. Jackson, present attorney
general, only 49 years old, is one
of the younger gorup of New Deal
ers who has been so instrumental
in helping to formulate its policies

The Federal Security agency is
co-ordinating health, welfare and
related activities in our communl-
ties; the nutrition advisory COM
mittee Is going to tell us how to
eat better and cheaper; the health
and medical committee is mObiliZ-
ing medical resources in all towns;
the citizens committee for the
army and navy is arranging for
recreational activities for the men
in camps; the united service or
ganizations will supply personnel
for recreation centers (and that
last one worth a contribution, if
anyone asks you).
Then there's the office Of price
| administration and civilian sup
ply, which is keeping prices from
sky-rocketing; the U. S. office of
education, which is guiding
schools in teaching defense-neces-
sary subjects; the U. S. public
health service which is supervis-
ing the health-building of men in
service as well as of civilians; the
children's bureau, which is watch
ing after the health of our next
generation, and the social security
board, which is taking care of our
next generation, and the social
security board, which is taking
care Of our oldsters. Just to men
ton a few.
Whatever emergency arises,
there are government agencies
that can meet it if they don't step
on each others toes. But in the
final analysis, our community de-
Tense will depend upon the CO
operation of the people who live
in those communities. All we are
sure of so far is that we have
plenty of generals.

mediate action but expressing
widely varying views on the best
method of handling the problem.
The department of justice is
studying the situation and the
plan most likely to be adopted is
expected to come from that de-
partment. One proposal known to
be under consideration is the crea-
tion of special unit under the de-
partment of justice which would
hunt out suspects, examine the
charges against them and notify
the manufacturer employing them
il their activities were found to be
dangerous to the best interests Of
defense work The manufacturer
would then fire such suspects.

pose of formulating some plan, if
possible, to reopen the bank.
A committee of seven was
chosen, consisting of J. ]. Jones,
r. J. Jones, Y. C. White, ]. M,

committee will go to Phoenix to-
day and get in touch with state
officials to see if some plan can
be worked out whereby the bank
can be reopened.

Accident Board Sets
Lower Premium Rate
toontinued irom FIRST Page,

An example of how the plan af-
fects the premium of employers re-
veals that an employer with a pre-
MUM of $4,000 and with a minimum
of accident cost would have as
much as a 25 per cent reduction in
premiums. Premiums would corre-
spond to losses for risks with more
than a minimum of loss costs, but
would never exceed the $4,000 up
per limit of the premium.
The plan was recommended to
the Industrial Accident Board by
the insurance carriers represented
by the Delaware Compensation
Rating and Inspection Bureau.
