FREEING WOMEN
FOR WAR WORK

Essential industry" is a term
that rightfully belongs not only to
those factories whichsproduce mu-
nitions and resources for war, but
also to unheralded businesses
which make it possible for the
steel, airplane, shipbuilding and
munitions plants to operate.
In any list of Essential" indus
tries, laundries and linen supply
plants must certainly be consider
ed, although their efforts do not
directly point bombs or bullets at
the Axis. By relieving millions of
housewives of their greatest chore
the family washing plus grimy
work uniforms-they release many
women for jobs in war plants. 1t
is estimated by the American In
stitute of Laundering and the Linen
Supply Association of America that
every employee in laundry or lin
en- supply house releases seven wo-
men for jobsin industry. At time
when manpower seems to be|our
greatest bottleneck, this contribu-
tion is especially significant.
When it is also remembered that

Food Speeds Aircraft
Production

In 1887 President Donald Doug
ployees of the Douglas Aircraft
Corporation were arranging for
mid-meal lunches in order to over
come fatigue periods and to main
tain maximum production. The re-
suits of a careful investigation
which followed are similar to those
now occurring in hundreds of other
industrial plants, according to the
National Dairy Council. Mr.. Doug
las was convinced of the wisdom
of his employees actions. AS re-
suit milk and cold sandwiches
were made available to all en-
ployees from carts which were kept
in constant circulation.
Shortly after this service was es-
tablished the first aircraft cafe
terra in the nation was constructed
in the Douglas plant at Santa Mon
ica. This example has been follow
ed by the installation of cafeterias
an dsoad fountains in all Douglas
plants and has resulted in cor
responding pickup in individual
workers efficiency.
With the installation of hot meal
service throughout the entire Doug
las system, milk rose greatly in
popularity Today the consumption
of milk is far in excess of that of
any other drink. The popularity
of milk at soda fountains is equal
ly encouraging. The demand for
matted milks and other milk drinks
is so great as to require the use
of huge mixers making twenty
drinks at a time. Over Is per cent
of all the orders at the fountains,
however, are for straight milk.
The primary purpose of milk and
milk drinks in the Douglas plant is
to keep employees properly nour-
ished and to help them to main
tain a high level of airplane pro-
duction. A secondary but exceed
ingly important use in the painting
divisions of the plant sis that of
aiding in the prevention of lead
poisoning.

Streamlined Merchandising

Over a million and a half retail
stores are striving to meet the de-
mands of heretofore pampered con-
sumers, in the face of widening
gaps on their shelves, chaotic
prices and other operating handi-
caps. Retail merchants are exist
ing in an economic no-man's-land.
The part that they have played in
helping to hold price rises to rea-
sonable levels during the present
emergency, is too often forgotten
just as they too seldom receive
credit for merchandising methods.

Unpopular Fact

The prime war objective is the
preservation of individual freedom
i All other detectives are incidental
including economic. security. OF
course, everyone wants economic
security. But our form of govern
ment does not and can never guar
antee both freedom and 100 per cent
security. 1t just isn't in the cards.
The government that extends the
1 promise of bread and butter to all
citizens, must also extend the heavy
hand of dictatorial control. This is
a highly unpopular fact. But it is
nonetheless true.
1t is also a fact that we have been
steadily working toward greater
security for the average citizen by
the slow, sure path of enlightened
industrial operation, coupled with
ever wider distribution of the pro-
ducts of industry. American citi-
zens enjoy the highest standard of
living in the world Rare is the man
who does not have electricity in his
home, a refrigerator, radio and
auto. In peace time, he can pack
up and go fishing or migrate with
his family to another section of the
country, with notice to no one. If
he does not like an employer, he
can choose another. There are mil
lions of employers. If he has an
idea, a service or a gadget that the
public wants, he can soon become
an employer himself. More impor-
tant, he can hel pto choose our pub
lie servants by secret ballot. He can
worship as he pleases and say what
he pleases at any time and any
place.
If these things do not constitute
independence and security, what in
the world does? At least these are
the things our soldiers and ma
rines and sailors believe they are
fighting to save. They can exist
only under a representative form of
government supported by free en-
terprise.

Regulations

By Everyone

side, and it must be covered will

can not be seen, and the shade di-
recting the light on the floor
straight down from the bulb, at nc

stated.
The easy method for homes to
follow is to pull down the window
shades after dark so that no light
shines directly out the windows,
and all rays that would be shining
out are obscured.
These regulations instituted by
the Army Command have been for
warded to all the local defense
councils in the Sussex area, and it
is up to the local defense councils
through their wardens and auxil-
iary police to see that they are
enforced.
These new regulations become
effective at once, and all local coun-
ellis in this dim-out area are in
structed to Immediately place them
into effect.
This is not regulation to place
an undue burden on residents, mer-
chants and industrial establish
ments in this area, but is a mea-
sure that the Army believes neces-
sary to the war effort, and every
one should be patriotic enough to
cooperate. Remember, it applies to
both indoor and outside lighting.
The Army has advised that the
top-half of all automobile head
lights operating in this section
should be blacked out with opaque
material, and operated on the low
beam. The state council has ad-
vised the low beam. The state po-
lice and many trucks and cars op-
Grating interstate have complied
with the Army regulations, and Co
ordinator of Sussex County Edward
c. Evans of Milford, advises black
ing out the top half of the lens, as
many cars will operate interstate
where this regulation has been
placed into effect. Other sections
and states have adopted it, and he
believes that it will be wise for
motorists to follow the procedure
by the Army.
Meetings are being held through
out this area, and wardens and po-
lice are preparing to enforce these

Foundation of Freedom

Most people think of war indus
tries as those which actually turn
out the finished products. But in
reality, the plane, tank, ship and
gun factories are the vital middle
men in a production chain that
starts deep in our coal and metal
mines, our forests, and in our vast
oil fields where the pumps and re-
fining plants work night and day
to furnish fabrication and fuel by
the billions of gallons to keep the
wheels of industry and of war.turn-
ing.
Natural resources are the key to
victory. This country has those re-
sources. Moreover, under efficient
management, they are imparting
raw materials in quantities that
stagger the imagination. The ben
ius of the men who operate the ma
tural resource industries, is second
only to the greatness of the re-
sources themselves. Together, they
are an unbeatable combination. In
the peace to come, they will be the
starting point of a new world, just
as they are now the starting point
of our entire war effort. When the
last shot has been fired, our basic
industries, like free enterprise in
all other fields, will turn again to
the sole task of creating a fuller,
more comfortable life for all.
That is why we must preserve
free enterprise. 1t is the key to a
better civilization. 1t guarantees
both political and economic free
dom to the individual. And the ma
tural resources industries are the
foundation of free enterprise, just
as our natural resources are the
foundation of our existence as a
sovereign nation.

Our Confusing Times

The United States Department of
Labor locates the rapidly expand
ing centers of population as being
outside the metropolitan areas. The
distribution of these wartime ac-
tivities is scattered all over the
country from Maine to Florida, from
Washington into Oregon and Cali
fornia-into 4S States.
But everything is not "hunky-
dory"-far from it. Conditions pro-
duced by the war have upset the
normal methods of American life.
Industrial activity is all changed.

how much the nation depends on
them in maintaining its produc-
ton capacity.

Millions of individuals find them
selves misfits under the exacting
system of Government control OF
economic affairs and ways of living.
1t was that way in War when
good luck and hard luck in busi-
ness affairs split about half and
half. Some grew rich, while many
became very poor.

paper man that national advertis-
ing has been withdrawn from thou

The fundamental characteristic
of modern merchandising is mass
distribution. The chain stores and
'the organized independent merS
chants are the nucleus Of this syss
tenn. They buy and sell ON a quanx
tity basis. AS a result, the spread
between producer and consumer
can be held to minimum. C0nsum-
ers are enabled to purchase more
goods as well as a wide variety of
goods, an dthe general standard Of
living is strengthened. The smallest
merchant, if he is efficient, can take
full advantage of the lower wholes
sale prices brought about by mass
distribution. And experience has
shown that when he combines this
with personalized service, he can
more than hold his own with any
competitor.
1t is not pleasant to contemplate
the chaos that would beset the
country if we were forced to de-
pend on the retail distribution
methods of twenty years ago. They
contrast as sharply as the horseless
carriage and the modern automos
bile.

years connected with the First
National Bank of this city, passed
away at o'clock this morning in
Portland according to radiogram
received by Secretary M. H. Sides
of the Elks Lodge, from Mrs. Post.
The Posts went south many years
ago and resided in several different
cities, finally locating on a small
ranch near Oswego, Oregon. Mr..
Post had been in ill health for some
time. He was one of the stampeders
to Nome at the outbreak of the dis
covery of gold there and was mar
ried. The Posts came to Juneau
years later and resided until they
went south.
