direct the parking. Obviously this situation
requires not only the deepest consideration of the
city's administration, who have already provided
suitable parking area, but 1t insists the closest
cooperation of each individual motorist This
problem is Large cities have felt the press OF
it for some time and there every available space
has been utilized for parking lots. And areas for
parking have become lucrative business
AS few as fifty seventy-five less cars on
Main Street Saturday night would have left a man
going to tap you on the shoulder and say wheel
over to the playground buddy. Although I'm not
sure that isn't part way in the solution. But
if each driver upon finding the Main Street lanes
filled would drive to the playground relief for the
situation would be apparent at once. Unless
individual motorists take 1t themselves to help
with this problem, you can almost be promised
some official source will. 1t ought to go deeper
than just shifting around for Saturday night Every
empoyable ought to be used to assist drivers
in realizing the situation Civic clubs organizations
should make careful studies of 1t along with the
administration :. Young new drivers ought at
once to be schooled in certain elements of traffic
and parking courtesies What's happening now
are blatant infrngements of decent driving Things
like these will indct town and people more
quickly in the eyes of casual visitors than anything
I can think or

On the corner of Third and Maple Streets a
familiar old landmark fell in the name of progress
and expansion. :. It's the corner where Jess Rose

one of the first in the city barking back to the

as possible for better pickup. Those early days

that was a maze of dals crystals tubes and squawks

Farm hand situation hereabouts takes on the
most serious tint it's had in long time. Farmers
have told us that the difficulty of getting hands
is reaching proportions of a major issue. It's
a two-sided problem, being shortage OF good
workers the other in the asking price OF the new
wage earners One lad might be indicative he
ran ad seeking farm work in this newspaper
and within day at least fifteen farmers mad re-
sponded. Some are blaming the draft which
has certainly taken out lot of eligibles, But
it is probable too that opening of jobs in key in
dustries at more wages has had something to DC
with it, . We've said before that this war pro-
duction is going to divorce these smaller places OF
much rising talent. We're in the first pinch of it

I talked with young high school graduate the
other day. He is sold on learning telegraphy There
was doubt in his mind there would be the lean
years of learning. What interested him most was
learning trade. If ever young people came
out of school with a trade learning consciousness
it is now They have quite realized that unskilled
labor is dime-a-dozen stuff that man once over the
forty hump doesn't stand up so well to back break
ing tasks . If ever there opportunity to
learn trades, it is But pick them carefully
There will be a strong undertow from the back

Those in charge say the Memorial Day parade
this year was the fastest forming unit in a long
time. In ten minutes from the time the speaker
perioded his last sentence the parade was formed
and moving. I'm afraid civilians carry around
the quaint idea that Old Glory is to receive the
salutes only of those in uniform. Come on, give
the flag permanent wave.
