The Rougher Road

The rougher road in these two
pennant races is still on ahead.
July and August are the test months
in which class and reserves count.
These are the months when consist
ency tells its story.
So far there has been a woeful
lack of consistency in both leagues.
The Dodgers lose six straight and
then win eight straight. Cleveland S

Dodgers are Ok" they'll tell you.
"But they can't hit, pitch or field

But Dizzy is lot to leave out-a
pitcher good enough to win So games

"The Cardinals have too many
good hitters," an old-time scout told
me. ''They have too much power.

Cheering for Dickey

The Southwest is also cheering for
Arkansas Bill Dickey, who was sup

sixteenth season the famous quail
hunter came bounding back with the
rush of coyote.
So far this has been Dickey's best
season. The lanky son of Louisiana
and Arkansas told me back in early
March that he would pass $3.50 this
season at bat, and so far the drum
beat of his bat has made his prom

Notes of an
Innocent Bystander:

William L. Shirer's Book, "Berlin
Diary" is now out. Shirer was CHS
correspondent in Berlin for years.
He tells of the German mother of
an airman who was notified by the
Luftwaffe that her son was dead. A
few days later, BIC in London
(Which weekly broadcasts list of
Nazi prisoners) announced that her
boy had been captured. Next day
she got eight letters from neighbors
telling her they had heard by short
wave that her son was alive in Eng
land 1t is against the law in
Germany to listen to foreign broad
casts The mother had all
eight arrested for breaking the
law When Shirer wanted to
use the story on his broadcast the
Nazi censor deleted it on the ground
"that Americans would not under
stand the heroism of the airman's
mother!

Rerouting of Route 126 from Venice

According to plans of county off

The bridge renovation will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. The work is being
done by the 'guniting" process, which
shoots concrete under compressed air
pressure into worn places.

POLICE, DETECTIVE
ASSIGNMENTS MADE

Twenty-four officers and four detec-
tives of the Hamilton police depart
ment are on new assignments.
Police Chief John C. Calhoun said
the changes were made in accordance
with an annual practice of shifting
men about.
The new assignments brought an
abrupt change for Patrolman William
Duellman, who for many years has
nightly patrolled the High Street bus
mess area. Duellman will now work
from 9 until o'clock each night in
the Wood Street district.
During the same hours Patrolmen
Joseph Koons and Arthur Liebrock
will patrol the area around Fourth
Street and Maple Avenue.
Chief Calhoun also announced the
addition of John P. Lotus, 2741 Ben
ninghofen Avenue, as a member of
the force with a sub patrolman rating.
Lotus, a former member of the Ham
ilton fire department, has been as
signed to cruiser duty in the Third,
Fourth, and Fifth Wards each night
from 6 until 2 o'clock.

Next Few Months Crucial Period
In Defense Program Says Public
Affairs Committee Pamphlet
We Are Now Facing Period of Necessary Sacrifices and
We Must Choose the Nature of Those Sacrifices
First Year of Defense Program Clear Sailing.

New York City ILNS).- The next
six months will probably see the turn
ing point in the defense program as
it affects the average citizen and his
pocketbook. For the past year Amer
leans have had both gums" and "but-
ter" We are now facing a period of
necessary sacrifices, and we must
choose the nature of those sacrifices.
These are the conclusions of "Guns,
Planes, and Your Pocketbook," by
Rolf Nugent of the Russell Sage Foun-
dation, just published by the Public
Affairs Committee, Inc.
First Year Easy
"The first year of the defense pro-
gram" Nugent points out, twas rela-
lively clear sailing. The fact that we
had idle and readily useable resources
permitted rapid expansion of all types
of production. Defense expenditures,
even at the close Of the period, were
fairly small in comparison with our
enormous resources"
But in the next few months 'if arms
production is to continue to grow as
planned :. the production of goods
for civilian use which compete with
ornaments must be cut down."
More 'sGuns" and Butter"
Easiest to cut down, Nugent de-
clares, are automobiles, refrigerators,
washing machines, electric and gas
ranges, automatic furnaces, and other
steel, nickel, and mountaineering
household equipment. Because of their
durability, these goods can be used

Any person who ever has been

There still is somewhat of a playtime
mood about the whole attitude of
people.
That it's life and death struggle

dustries.
Bigger Blow Just Ahead

DONNELLEY FIRM
TO BARGAIN WITH
UNION, Is REPORT

Chicago, Ill.-The organization COM
mittee of Chicago Printing Trades
Unions announces that the Reuben H.
Donnelley Corporation, subsidiary of
the union-hating r. R. Donnelley &
Sons Company Lakeside Press, Chi
cago, has been ordered to bargain
with the Bookbinders' and Pressmen's
unions at its Los Angeles, California,
printing plant.
The plant employs 6S bindery and
10 pressroom workers. 1t has no COM
posing room nor plate-making equip
ment. An election was held recently
under the supervision of the Labor
Board. Of the 6S bindery workers, 81
voted for, and IL against, unioniza-
tion of the plant. The 10 pressroom
workers voted unanimously for union
ization
The unions are now negotiating with
d. L. Harrington, of the Chicago Of
flee, who has been assigned to repre-
sent the Donnelley Corporation.
The Donnelley firm, against whom
the printing trades unions are con
ducting a nationwide campaign, has
been non-union for almost 35 years
"Time" and Life" magazines are
printed by Donnelley Both publica-
tions have been placed on the I'VE
Don't Patronize List" by thousands
of local unions and central labor
bodies. Members and friends of or
ganized labor are urged to refuse to
patronize either publication.

garding the nationwide drive against
Donnelley's, write the Chicago Print

parachute and powder bags.
Steel is tied up for defense by
Uncle Sam
Copper, brass, tin, certain alloys and
some other things are next.
Metal Rationing Near
Rationing of all of these metals is
right at hand. You read that the
washing machine industry has been
told to cut down almost to nothing
and maybe you don't want washing
machine, SO you don't care.
And maybe you gave all your old
aluminium pots and pans to defense
and you don't even want any more
and SO you don't care if they're MAX
ing new ones or not But the workers
in the closed plants have different
outlook.
SO, what with the blows that have
unemployment may soon run to a
million.
Raw Materials Short
If this seems strange in a country
working night and day to turn out
war material, all anybody can say is
that it is strange. But it happens
because there is too much in some
,,1a ~ IN oil
because actually and no fooling, raw
materials are terribly short in some
important lines. War needs come first.
That's why new model automobiles
will look pretty drab, with no shining
decoration-no bright metals to doll
them up.
But there's something else
wrong with the picture. 1t is the
simple fact that by and large the
American people don't actually
realize, as vital and immediate
thing, THE WAR DANGER and
the fact that Americans have got
to dig in and sacrifice for the sake
of defense. 1t is defense just as
truly as though enemy ships were
throwing shells onto the Atlantic
and Pacific Coast cities and planes
were dropping bombs upon Chi
cago.
Somebody has got to say it-we've
got to have loyalty to the United
States in this crisis that runs ahead
of loyalty to unions and clubs and pri-
vate interests, which includes profits
Volunteering Now Wise
Every American will have to sac
rifice plenty and it's good idea to
get set and know why and to VOL
UNTEER for the long haul that lies
ahead. If we understand ahead of
time we won't be SO fiabbergasted and
grouchy when the worst of the blows
begin to fall just ahead of now.
There's a hurricane coming - if
you've never been through one you
don't know just how you may get hurt.
But anyway think about it.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-08-22

over period of years-a period which
can be materially heightened if there
is good reason to repair rather than
replace them"
This need not mean any immediate
decline in real living standards. For
another few months it seems possible
to have more gums" and, on balance,
more butter"
Autos To Be Used Longer
Without interfering with the de-
Tense program, we can produce and
consume larger quantities of food,
cotton and woolen textiles, glassware,
crockery, and most personal house
hold supplies; we can go to the movies
more often; we can have more hair
cuts and permanent waves. The
principal sacrifice will be in foregoing
the satisfactions that come from the
use of brand-new equipment We
must use our automobiles and house
hold appliances longer before junking
them"
