We Commend
Newark Merchants

In a world were there is
so much sorrow every bit of
cheerfulness stands out like
a shining beacon on a
stormy night. We refer
particularly to the members
of the Newark Better Bus
mess association, and 9TH
ers here who closed their
Grs the Saturday follow
Christmas that their
employees could enjoy a
three-day holiday.
Christmas buying this
year was the heaviest on
record. Because of the
shortage of help clerks in
Newark stores had to work
at top speed to take care of
the throng.
We commend the en-
ployers on their unselfish
action in closing their
stores and giving employees
a well earned rest and time
to spend at home with their
families.

ODT Eases Rule
On School Buses

The Office of Defense Trans
portation has relaxed it's restric-
tions on school bus operation,
giving local officials discretion
to eliminate extreme danger and
serious physical handicap 10
their pupils, state education Of
ficials disclosed this week.
Delbert Woodford, state direc-
tor of school bus transportation,
said that local school officials
throughout the state have re-
ceived permission to interpret
regulations locally in order to
eliminate "extreme danger" and
SERIOUS physical hardship" in
routing school bus lines.
Protest meetings throughout
the state attacked ODT regula-
tions that children living with
in two miles of their school must
walk and that others must walk
as much as a mile and a half to
a school bus line.
The modified ODT regulations
give local authorities discretion
to adjust bus operations in ex-
ceptional circumstances. To pick
up pupils within two miles of
a school on roads over which a
bus must pass, provided no ex-
ira milegae is involved, to serve
the physically handicapped, those
subject to extreme danger and
those subject to serious physical
hardship.
Mr.. Woodford said the state
and local officials would contin-
ue their survey of school bus
routes in efforts to conserve
mileage and gasoline wherever
possible.

MAY BE BLESSING

WI ~ DE DLLOC14Nu
In this country as well as in
all countries, only rationing can
make it possible for all of US to
secure the simple foods we need
to keep fit. 1t is only through
rationing-which means sharing
and guarding against waste =
that our food supply can be suf-
ficient to meet all the needs of
all the people.
Rationing puts more response
bility upon the Soldier in Aprons
1t makes the kitchen the most
important war center of our ma
tion. 1t means every woman anC
every man needs to think more
about eating the right foods to
keep fit. 1t means knowing
more about what foods to select
for health and strength.
Rationing may prove to be a
blessing in disguise. 1t may i'm
prove our health as it has the
general health Of the people in
European countries. In Great
Britain and in Sweden, though
the meat allowance under ration
ing is much less than it is under
our share -the-meat program,
the general health of the peo-
Pile is even better than it was be-
fore the war.
The nutritionists assure US
that the two and a half pounds
of meat a week under the share
the-meat plan is enough for ev-
en- the biggest man doing the
heaviest work, if he consumes
sufficient amounts of the un-
restricted meats or meat alter
nates-cheese, eggs, poultry,
dry beans, soy beans and pea
nuts-vegetables, fruits, enrich
ed or whole-grain bread and ce-
reals.

Women Chemists
Being Sought

Newark women were invited
this week to enroll in a free U.
S. government course in analyti-
cal chemical techniques, start
ing Jan. II, at Ohio State uni
versity, in Columbus.
The class will meet three
nights week, Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday, from 7 to
10, for IL weeks, giving inten-
sive training for those women
wanting to prepare for response
BILE positions in war industry.
According to Professor Harry
E. Mold, director of war train
ing classes at Ohio State, indus
tries in this city have been ap-
pealing to the university for
help in securing women of such
training to meet shortages of
workers in their laboratories.
Some previous chemical train
ing is necessary. Those with
high school courses in this SUBJ
ject may qualify for laboratory
assistantships, while those who
have had college chemistry
courses may be placed in more
responsible posts, as 'junior
chemists"
This will be the third such
class conducted at Ohio State by
the federal government, through
it's engineering, science, and
management war training pro-
gram. In the first class, last
summer, 40 were enrolled, while
in the second group completing
it's training Dec. %, 45 women
were enrolled.
All the graduates" who were
qualified have been placed, Pro-
fessor Mold says, and many
calls from industry had to be re-
fused for lack of available per-
sons. While most of the gradu-
ates can be placed in their own
communities, there's a special de-
mand and a special opportunity
for those who are free to go to
other war industry centers
where the manpower shortage is
even more acute.
Professor Mold is receiving
applications for the new class.

Nurses Training
Being Speeded

With the Army needing 5000
nurses Immediately and $4,000
more by the end of 1943, nursing
students will be pushed through
school in "a months to meet the
acute shortage, the Federal Sc
curity Agency announced recent
ly.
AS soon as students finish the
bare fundamental courses they
will be placed in a pool of nurs-
es in civilian hospitals to re-
place those on general duty,
many of whom are entering the
Army and Navy nurse corps.
The FSA also began a drive
to put retired registered nurses
back to work. During the first
week in January a national sur
vey of all graduate nurses will
be made and Manpower Commits
sioner Paul V. McNutt will send
each one a message urging that
she return to work Immediately.

The New Year

Today we work in war
plants, not defense plants.
Today we buy War Bonds,
not defense bonds. Today
we fight an Offensive-not
a'defensive war, and during
this year of 1913 we are on
our way to Victory! Reach
ing this goal has been hard:
for those who fight, for
those who work; for our
Industrial labor, military
leaders-and above all, for
our Commander in Chief!
At this New Years it
should be more than fitting
to dedicate an editorial to
our wartime president. His
task is the most difficult
conceivable because the
people turn to him In the
darkest hours.
He must hear criticism
and make no answer if
the time is not ripe to re-
lease the information or
take the action the people
want; if the time is not ripe
to let them know the UNDER
lying reason for something
done or undone-of which
they disapprove.
There are times when
true strategy for the COM
mon good calls for accept
ing censure with courage
Gus, unselfish silence. Much
of that criticism has been
gloriously answered - as
witness North Africa.
So, this New Years,-the
year of Victorious progress,
we shall ultimately share
joyOusly the final account
ing as we now work and
fight-to win!

Blood Plasrna

A concerted effort is be-
ing and will be made in
Licking county by the re-
Gently organized Blood Don
ors committee to interest
the public as a whole in the
"blood bank" the plasma
from which will be used to
save lives of soldiers at the
fighting front.
The appeal is being spon-
Eored by the Army and Ma
wy, with the assistance of
the National Research Coun-
Gil and the Red Cross. Here
is an opportunity to exhibit
patriotism in a different
form than the buying of
war bonds and the work in
defense plants. It is an
other of the things we at
home can do to help win the
war and help our boys
wounded in battle.
\ 1t should be mentioned
here that for some time
several fraternal organiza-
tons in Newark have been
interesting themselves in
this phase of service, with
their members volunteering
patriotically to give blood
to fill Licking county's
