FIRE FIGHTS ON AXIS SIDE

The ropid growth Of volunteer civil
defense groups is q fine thing for this
country. It is showing people that the
responsibility for preventing and deal
ing with disasters must be shared by
oIl People who used to think Of fire as
something which was exclusively the
fire departments business, are learn
ing that it is their own personal bust
ness.
1t is natural and right that fire de-
tense is one Of the principal purposes
Of the entire civiIon defense move
ment America, like England, may one
doy be shoWered with incendiories from
enemy planes. Enemy agents within
our borders will unquestionobIy at
tempt sabotage on q wide scale, and
fire is their main weapon. Unless the
people ore trained and ready, those
agents will succeed-ot terrible toll
in American life, American resources,
american war production.
There is q saying in London to the
effect that "every house is q fire
house," Thot is the goal we must try
for in our own country. And we must
not think entirely in terms Of enemy
started fires. The greatest present dan
ger lies in the normal" fires-the fires
that ore the result Of human careless
ness, human indifference, human 10
noronce, human failure Of hundred
different kinds. These fires strike
homes-ond labor and materials must
be diverted from the war effort to re-
build and repair These fires strike foe
tories-ond the production Of vitoI
arms may be delayed These fires strike
torms-ond the production OF food
Tor our Allies and ourselves IS effected
Almost every citizen can become
part Of the vost fire fighting army"
we need. All can learn the simple les
sons that will enable us both to prevent
fire, and to deal with fire when it
breaks out. The gigantic quantities Of
moterjoIs that GRE devoured by flame,
must be soved. Remember thot fire
fights on the Axis side

NEW CODE NEEDED

The Ione-stondne fight between
railroads ond trucking companies
once had only academic and long,
ronge interest for those on the out
side. Now the controversy, or more
specifically its effects, has become
very important.
Restrictive stote laws, enacted Of
ten to protect railroads against the
competition Of trucks, ore interfering
seriously With the effective utilization
OF trucks, tires, gasoline and nonpow-
er in moving war material.
The question now is not whether
roIrood or true kmon shall get q por-
tiouIor moving job. The problem .rop-
idly is becoming one Of finding means
Of moving vitoI war products in hur-
~. Also, insofar os we must and do
use trucks, there is the need for max
ing every pound Of rubber, every COL
Ion OF gasoline, every hour Of man and

IT becomes, then, the patriotic
duty Of every stote to reexon1ine IT'S

restrictions can solely be lifted, if only
for the duration Of the war.
