THE 20 ENLISTS"

A united America is on the
march against the worst outlaws
ever known to the world. The
spirit and unselfishnesS of our
people now is well expressed in
these few verses, by an unknown
author, set in by Mrs. E. Spriggs
of Wyola.
His Mothers eyes are saddened
and her cheeks are stained
with tears,
And I'm facing now the strug-
gle that I've dreaded through
the years;
For the boy that was our baby
has been changed into a man,
He enlisted in the Army as a
true American.
He held her for a moment in
his arms before he spoke,
And I watched him as he kissed
her
And it seemed to me I'd choke,
For I know just what was COM

We could see his head was hi.

THE STATES
WAR FRONT

Production quotas will be
busted and upped, and then
busted again" in the war pro-
duction plants of the Rocky
Mountain region, according to
statements made by manage
ment and labor representatives
at a regional Production Drive
conference in Denver last week
The meeting, called by the
war production board, was at
tended by labor and manage
ment men from virtually all
plants working on major wal
orders in the Rocky Mountain
region. Details of the produc-
ton drive, which was ordered
by President Roosevelt and Don
aid NJ. Nelson, were explained
at the conference. Both man
agement and labor representa-
tives pledged enthusiastic sup
port to the plan.
Arthur w. Lutz, management
consultant for the war produc-
ton board, who presided at the
meeting, declared: I'VE must
forget all OF our peacetlme d1f-
ferences and controversies. Any
labor = management problems
that impede the war effort must
be solved thru existing machin-
cry, while we march together
to victory. Neither Japan nor
the United States has ever lost
a war. This war must be lost
by Japan"
Speakers at the meeting
stressed that the joint manage
ment-labor committees which
are to operate the production
drive plan in each plant are
not to be concerned with any
problems except the overall
problem Of producing as much
as possible as fast as possible"

MAKES SUGGESTIONS
FOR SAVING SUGAR

Restricted sugar purchases
may be inconvenient at first
but they needn't be a kitchen
tragedy" says Bessie E. McClel-
Land, extension nutrition spec
ialist at Montana State college
in passing on some suggestions
for conserving sugar.
First, she said, keep an eye
out for sugar WaStage. One Of
the most obvious wastes is IN
dissolved sugar in the bottom
of a cup of coffee or tea. 9th
ers are oversweetened foods,
cake failures - or failures OF
any product containing sugar.
Next, try cutting down on Sill
gar in least noticeable ways. Of
ten less sugar can be used on
breakfast food or in coffee and
tea without any noticeable diff
ference.
Try eating fewer ricn des-
serts, fewer pastries and very
sweet cakes. Fresh fruits are
among the most nutritious and
OCS4A d1AC u AOooOA 10 oA4O C4ACS
carry their own sugar. Canned
fruits are classed as not-too-
rich desserts and dried fruits
are one of the best sources OF
natural sugar. CuStards and
simple buildings use smalle!
amounts of sugar.
In sweetening sauces. putting
the sugar in at the end Of the
cooking time will require less
sugar to get the same sweetness
While sugar supplies food en-
ergy IN an exceedingly palatable
form, most people can get along
on a lot less Sugac and still
have nutritious meas that taste
good. There are many othc: en-
ergy-giving foods that supply, IN
addition, valuable vitamins and
minerals. Whole-grain cereals
are one such food group, and
starchy vegetables and dried
fruits are others.

SEVEN IMPORTANT
PRICE CEILINGS SET

In the broadest action yet ia
ken to combat price initiation
affecting lines Of goods made
scarce by the war, the OPA has
set maximum retail prices for
seven major household applian-
ces. The OPA regulations bring
under federal price control new
household mechanical refriger-
ators, new household vacuum
cleaners and attachments, new
domestic heating and cooking
stoves and ranges, new domes-
tic washing and ironing mach
ines, new radio receiving sets
and new monographs.
Production of all of these
consumers durable goods has
been drastically curtailed or
completely suspended because OF
the demand of war industries
for the metals used in their
manufacture. This growing scar
city has resulted, officials say,
in sharp price increases at
wholesale and retail levels and
in thousands of complaints OF
"profiteering" from the buying
public.

Lines!
Assembly and Otherwise

I remember learning in school that
a straight line was the shortest dis
lance between two points. Easy to
define, hard to draw without a ruler.
The next lines that interested me
we're the ones on the gridiron. Then
there was World War I and there
were the front lines" And as a
private then the other line which in
terested me most was the mess line.
Very important.
1t was much later that I heard
about assembly lines. Mass produce
ton I heard about at the same time.
Assembly lines and mass produc-
ton were the things that were put
ting America first as the worlds
business man. They were the things
that gave u workmen and our
farmers and our clerks and news
paper men and firemen all a chance
to 60 to work in gas-buggies while
some Of our counterparts in Europe
and Asia still walked, or drove oxen.
Assembly lines. The Second World
war came along and America was
way behind its enemies in prepared
ness, in production Of war materi-
ais. We had led the world making
nice things. things that made life
easy. We were way behind when it
came to making death easy.

In spite Of tax increases. defense

that follows the boom when the
things that go up have to come
down.
You could see how worried the ad-
ministration was when the Presi-
dent, who has had a lot to say about
%spiraling of wages and prices but
has never actually done anything to
stop wage increases, admitted at a
press and radio conference recently
that a plan for putting a ceiling on
wages was under study.
Mrs. Roosevelt had let the cat out
of the bag in her column and the
President couldn't very well deny
the soft impeachment. Regulation
of wages is one partial check on in
fation. Another is an iron-bound
price control so tight that people Just
couldn't use their money to bid up
costs. Another is taxation so heavy

FAST DRIVING
AND TIRE CONSERVATION

1T IS SPEED CRAZED YOUTH
that does most of the fast driving
in these days of attempted tire con-
servation. To cure the malady why
not confscate the family bus when
son John is allowed to, or does,
drive it at from so to 70 miles an
hour. The confscation of few cars
would conserve more tires, result in
more sane driving, than the ration
ing of gasoline.
HITLER IS SAID TO THINK of
himself as new Napoleon, and is
attempting to emulate that illustri-
Gus dictator. His campaigns in
Russia and Africa closely parallel
those of Napoleon. It is possible
st. Helena may also be his end.
BOARDING PENNIES
THE PENNIES of that period
when I was boy were large and
weighty, about the size of a silver
quarter, or a two-bit piece, as it
was commonly known. Pennies were
not in very general circulation and
about the only use made of them
was as coin to deposit in children's
banks. In some sections of the West
as late as 1890 nickels and dimes
were almost unused, the smallest
coin in general use being the quar-
ter, and all money west of the Mis-
souri, was gold or silver. A dollar
hill was unknown Today Anerica
could hardly continue to function
without pennies.
Our per capita income has in
creased and our standard of living
has risen, but sales taxes have de-
pleted the source of revenue for the
children's banks.
We hoard pennies as those of us
west of the Missouri formerly hoard
ed quarters.

minded his own business had any
thing to fear on that score.
He'd also done some muttering
about the Canal, about wanting to 60
there or did Curt have that
right? AS near as he could remem-
Der, the Canal business was vague
so-near-and-yet-so-far sort of thing
that had no meaning at all.
Curt had been fiddling absently
with his tobacco pouch. He now
flung it to the desk angrily and
jumped to his feet.
"I'm an engineer, not sleuth.
Maybe Mitchell did know some
thing, but don't, and the whole
thing is none of my business!"
But it was, and he knew it. Walk
ing in at that moment, Montaya
raised smoothly clipped brows as he
saw Curtis congested face.
81 was only thinking" said Curt,
in violent explanation, what a
shame it is that liquor can't be out
lawed."
81 quite agree, Mr.. Curtis" said
Montaya gravely. 81 will not per-
NIT drunkenness among my key
men at any time, on the job or off,
as you know from your contract. OF
course, among construction workers
:" He shrugged.
''But let us get to work. You
have not had much time with your
so charming family since arriving.
You will want the day with them.
I have gone over your memoranda
carefully :"
One of Curtis suggestions had
been to bring in some additional
draglines and bulldozers, and to
speed up the work in two shifts per
day, using flood lights for the few
hours of darkness they'd overlap.
1.-TWO shifts of work, it is a good
idea," Montaya agreed. GAS for
more equipment, have two three
yard shovels now on order. They
should arrive soon."
"You'n need MORE" Curt an
swered.
"But when the work for such
equipment is completed? It will be
a lot Of money to have tied up"
There's more work here for such
machines than you think. You're
going to install overhead irrigation
when the more important work is
out Of the way. You plan to pump
from the rivers, but can show you
a better way"
Curt strobe to the huge photo
graphic map and picked up the
pointer.
