AIR RAID WARDEN
 ENJOYS CONTACTS Good NeighbOrly, COopera- tive Spirit Developing;
 "Swap-a-Ride" Plan :.
Contributed

(COnCrIDuLeOD
 I heard someone say recently, There is one thing about this air raid warden business, I have gotten acquainted with folks in my block who have been my neighborS for years but whom I have never real ly known before" As Americans, we have always pr!ded ourselves on our spirit of democracy which after all means being good neighbors and being good neighbors means shar- ing what we have with others. Right now the national emergency is greater than the sum total of per- sonal emergencies and makes 1t more than ever important to in- dulge in community sharing of the possessions that we have. Sharing Is a good way to work for victory. Someone has suggested pooling of equipment such as lawn mowers, garden tools, sprayers, etc, so that new utensils would not have to be bought right now. One of the most vital needs of a community like ours, however, seems to be sharing our transportation. Without trans portation we can't get from here to victory. Buses and trains have 8 gigantic job to do in carrying war workers to work and the faster tires and cars wear out the greater the strain on public vehicles. We can help by making the cars we have last longer by giving them good care and driving with a full load rather than with an empty back seat. We don't have to wait for an edict from the mayor to organize a swap-a-r!de campaign here and now. It is being done all over the country. For instance neighbors in Bethesda, Maryland, are looking forward toward the day when their tires are going to wear out and have already put their tires in tire pool.
 A group of workers living at some distance from each other and far from the city drive their cars to a central pickup point where one of them takes them all to town and the rest of the cars are parked. The D. D. T. suggests that plans for parking areas for workers arrange for all the workers who live in the same neighborhood to park in one section of the parking area. These areas then serve as a meeting place for the swap-riders. One Detroit plant fines employees ten cents for each empty seat in their cars. The money is turned over to the U. s. O. In rural communities farmers are pooling their shipments to town so that one truck goes full instead of four that used to go one-fourth full. Farm families also arrange to go to town together for shopping in one car instead of in two or three cars.
 We have never been in a war like this before and we don't realize yet that what we do in peace time may be dangerous in war time. If there is a suspicion of shortage there must be conservation, not by some one but by everyone.
