How many Jobs are there around
your plant that can be performed by
blind men2
How efficiently could your entire
plant operate in total darkness?
How many operations are there
around your plant that must now be
carried on in daylight?
How well is your plant lighted for
night as well as daytime operations2
When an object is lighted correctly,
two things are done:
1. The object is magnified.
2. The contrast between the object
and its background is improved.
AS a result Of doing these two things
we:
l. See the object more quickly.
2. See it with more certainty.
Because we see faster and see more
accurately, we, therefore:
l. Save time.
2. Save energy.
3. Save eyestrain.
That isn't very hard to understand
and yet thousands of war production
industries need better lighting to
speed production Records show that
good lighting has increased production
from 3 precent to Is percent, not to
mention reduction in accidents, reduc-
ton in spoilage, and better employee
morale. It is estimated that proper
In all defense industries would
increase the total war production
equivalent to building 2,4OO bombers
per year. And Man oh Man, what 2.40O
bombers couldn't do to Tokyo, with
our splendid air force at the controls.
Take a look at your lighting sys-
tenn. No, not at your lamps and fix
lures, but at the results they produce.
Can you quickly and easily see all of
the equipment and processes which
must be watched carefully for eff
Gent operation Of your plant, without
carrying an extension light or flash
light around with you? Are your ex-
posed machines, stairWays, passage
ways, conveyor belts and other haz-
ardous locations properly lighted to
prevent accidents?
Are your fixtures clean to produce
maximum effectiveness?
Are your lamp bulbs black with age?
Contrary to common belief, 1t Is good
economy to discard blackened bulbs
before they burn out just as it was
good economy to discard tires before
hey blew out. There is no bulb short
age yet, so don't be pennywise and
ight-foolish.
Too little ighting-ike too much
whisky causes headaches and inn
haired efficiency These are peacetims
uxuries.

RATIONING IN

Gasoline movement by tank cars
from Los Angeles basin to the Pacific

are 2,225 tank cars delivering a daily
average Of 28,500 barrels into Oregon

MONTANA TO
PUT ZIP FIGHT
ON RATIONING

The entire state Of Montana was
I'D in arms this week, to protest the
proposed rationing Of gasoline.
The Montana Railroad and Public
Service commission filed a protest 70
the Transportation Co-ordinator.
Many cities filed protests, including
Kalispel. Nor was it inspired by mem
bers Of the oil industry as evidenced
by the verbage Of the resolution which
referred to refineries as "distilleries. +"
The Production for Victory Council
Of Great Falls, made up Of represen-
tatives OF a large number Of labor
unions, civic and fraternal organiza-
lions, voted resolutions of protest.
Newspapers throughout the state
voiced protest. The Great Falls Trib-
une has had three strong editorials,
make good sense, If we talk about ra-
tioning gasoline in the state Of Mon
tana." Says The Tribune:
In the midst of all the croSsfire
discussion about rationing gasoline in
some parts of the country, one thing
is quite clear.
There is no more need Of rationing
gasoline in the state Of Montana than
there would be in the state Of Texas.
This state can produce more than it
needs to consume.
So far as the government Is con-
cerned, it may easily reach sensible
1t can endeavor to allo-
cate territory according to geography
and the economic ability to supply.
This is not the time to allow manip-
ulated control of markets.
We believe it is correct to say that
Montana can at least help northern
Idaho and possibly considerable part
Of Washington and Oregon, If there
Is sufficient encouragement to produce
In this state-to the end that we may
assist territory farther west as much
IS our potential production may JUS
sify.
If there are to be further confer
ences on the northwestern situation as
regards the distribution of gasoline, |
We suggest that the government bend
is efforts to two detectives
l. That it insist, at least for the !
duration Of the war, that consumers
,e supplied by the refineries nearest
hem.
g. Eliminate costly, uneconomic and
Unfair crosshauls which tie up needed
transportation facilities and accom-
lish no beneficial result
In any event, it doesn't make good
ense, if we talk about rationing gaso-
inc in the state of Montana.

Scrap Rubber Is
SOreLy Needed
In Var Effort

WASHINGTON-The senate COM
mittee investigating the war program
declared that the rubber program has
been badly handled
One potential source of rubber, the
report said is scrap. But it pointed
out that no adequate program has been
set up to collect scrap rubber and
see that it gets to processing plants.
Estimates of the total amount of
scrap rubber in this country vary from
100000 to 100000 tons, the report
said, and present facilities for re-
claiming scrap have an annual ca
pacity Of $4,000 tons But actual pro-
duction in l94l was only 275,OO0 tons,
it added.

The Office of Price Administration
announced today that the reproduc-
tlon OF a War bond seal on "A" and
b gasoline rationing cards could
be used TO purchase gasoline only
between July Is and July 81.
Previously. OPA had said that the
seal appearing in the upper left cor

good for one ration of gasoline as
a means of carrying motorists over
the lag between July l, when the
temporary rationing originally was
scheduled to expire. and July %,
when the new permanent Eastern
rationing program has been ordered
effective.
The gallonage value of the sea-
will vary with the type of card, it
was explained. For passenger au-
tomobiles. for example, the seal on
the "A" card will be good for three
gallons; on the "B-1" card it will
be good for four gallons: b." five
gallons, and "B-3," six gallons.
For motorcycles, the seal on the
card will permit purchase of IL gal
Ions; the B-1. 1.6 gallons; b., two
gallons, and B-3, "a gallons.
Uncanceled units on the ration
cards may be used until midnight
July 81 and now are good for six
gallons each. ANY basic ration card
issued by local boards between July
and July Is have six units re-
moved, while those issued between
July Is and July 81 will have all
units removed. leaving only the
ration provided by the seal.

Districts Bond Quota
Set at S6,250,000

Maryland Asked to Roise
$l3,535, 900; Vireinio's
Goal Is $12,6e8,000

Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau today announced July War
bond sales quotas for the District,
States and Territories aimed at
drawing a billion dollars from the
purses of the citizenry-l0 per cent
Of each individuals income.
For Washington. the quota was
set at s6,250,OOO, compared with the
$6.179,0OO May figure, which the
Treasury announced was undersub-
scribed by 3.6 per cent.
Thirty-seven million dollars of
the national quota remain unallo-
Gated to States and part of that
sum ultimately will be assigned to
the District, officials said.
Marylands quota for July was
s13,535. 900, compared with the May
goal of s9,079,O00. Virginia was
marked down for $12,698,0O0 as
against $8,965 900 sought in May.
Maryland was rs per cent under
the May objective. but Virginians
oversubscribed by IA per cent.
NdtiUu OtCISuUSti IUCu
The May quota of $500 ,000, 900 for
the entire country, including Alaska,
the Canal Zone, Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, was over
subscribed by ST per cent, but Secre-
tary Morgenthau has announced
that the June drive for $500, 900 900
is tagging.
Quotas for July. he said, were
based largely on performance of
the States in May sales, the distri-
button of income, and local con-
ditions, such as employment, crop
forecasts and other factors"
Outstanding fact in the analysis Of
figures ON the May campaign was
the fact that the two areas nearest
the fighting fronts-Hawaii and
Alaska-bought bonds at a rate far
beyond their quotas. Hawaii ex-
ceeded its goal by 503.3 per cent and
Alaska by 1885 per cent.
