torial nomination in tabulation Of

S46 voting districts, Glen Taylor
of Pocatello had 6,098 votes. His
nearest opponent, 1t. Gov. Charles
C. Gossett of Nampa, had 5,244 votes.

delegation who had been tabled by
their opponents as isolationists be-
fore the United States entered the
war, piled up big leads for renomi-
nation. A third was unopposed.
Balloting was extremely light.
Eleven of the 81 candidates for
State and congressional onices had
no opposition. among them Gov.
Chase A. Clark, Democrat.
Republican Senator Thomas. who
remained in Washington during the
campaign, piled up almost twice as
many votes as his two opponents
combined. --
Reports from AS precincts gave
him 1853 to 3,542 for Presley F.
Horne of Caldwell and 3,442 for John
C. Sandborn of Hagerman.
Both Senator Thomas and Comp
ton I. White of Clark Fork, the
latter Democratic Representative
leading his opponents in the lst
district, were criticized for their
voting records in Congress by their
opponents, who said they failed to
support pre-Pearl Harbor defense
measures.

E> the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Aug. PA breezy young
radio announcer was paired today
against an energetic Republican or
ganizer in a general election fight
for the Nebraska Senate seat now
held by the aging Independent,
George w. Norris.
Senator Norris has not disclosed
his plans. He did not run in yes
terday's primary, but his friends
have predicted he would again be
an Independent candidate in No
vember.
The nominees are Foster May, 81.
Omaha Democrat, who never has
held public office, and Kenneth S.
Wherry, SO, of Pawnee City, Midwest
director for the Republican Party
and State G. o. p chairman.
Mr.. May won handily in a seven
man field which included Represent
ative Coffee of Western Nebraska,
whose opponents criticized his pre-
Pearl Harbor votes as obstructionist
Mr.. Wherry piled up big margin
over his nearest opponent despite
lack of public interest in the cam
paign, which kept the total vote
below that of any recent year.
Mr.. Mays total in 1876 of 2.046
precincts was 32,578 Representative
Coffee had 21,373 and other con-
tenders Jagged far behind.
Mr.. Wherry rolled up 52,424 in
1926 precincts against 1902 for his
nearest opponent, Hugh B. Ashmore,
former State legislator.
Gov. Dwight Griswold had no
trouble gaining denomination in the
Republican primary. The Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination went
to Charles w. Bryan, three times
Governor and Democratic nominee
for Vice President in 1924
Two members of Congress won re-
nomination easily - Charles Nc
Laughlin, Omaha Democrat, and
Karl Stefan, Norfolk Republican,
who were without opposition.
Two others had to compete with
each other because of congressional
redistricting which cost the State
one Representative. Representative
Curtis of Minden appeared to have
defeated Representative Copeland of
Lincoln for the Republican nomina-
ton in that disputed district.
In the Western Nebraska district
thrown open by representative Cof-
fees entry in the Senate contest re-
suits remained indecisive.

Boston, July Hone thousand American plants, including 9l In New England, now have labor -man- agcment committees conducting War Production Drives, the Ofiice of War Information announced to- day.
 The War Production Drive got underway in March under the di- rection of Donald M. Nelson, WIPE chairman, to All the presidents quota of 60,000 planes, 10000 tanks, 45,000 anti-aircraft guns and 8,000,- 900 tons of shipping this year. The drive is not limited to plants pro- ducing only those war materials, irs fact, 1t has been extended to plants making almost every conceivable article of war and will continue for the duration of the war.
 At the start, the drive encoun- tered some skcptics and some doubtcrs. Some feared the drive woud permit workers to interfere with the management, some feared that 1t would enable the manage ment to employ the "stretch-out" or other practices diminishing the workers pay.
 Endorsements Given
 These fears vanished as the drive got underway. Endorsements came from AFL and CIO leaders and from. employers associations. As reports came in of better under standing between employer and la bor and of rising production rec ords, more and more plants joined in the drive until today there are 1000.
 Production is increased almost entirely by Joint labor and manage ment planning. Tn these thousand plants. workers ard manager sit down together and map the meth ods by which more and better war weapons can be turned out. To fa- cilitate this. scorcboards are set up, slogan contests conducted, sugges- ton boxes erected, transportation

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-14

This Is a modern, total war. Everyone is in it. Every job Is A war job. and has to be done right. Every fighter at the front needs civilian workers at home to back him up The more work done, the more War Stamps and Bonds bought, the bet ter the front line can fight.
 SHOULD KEEP FIT
 SAME AS SOLDIERS
 It follows that the war worker at home must not fall down on the job because of poor health or for any other reason. He must keep as flt as the soldier or sailor. There is no sergeant to see that he does, but he should be his own top kick and make good Job of 1t.
 These should be the civilians rules and regulations:
 l. Eat the right kind of food every day. Cut down on every thing else first, if econOmizing Is necessary. We can stop smoking or drinking, but we can't get along without proper food.
 2. Get enough sleep - at least eight hours. Nobody can work well if he has too little sleep. Be- ing Overtired invites sickness.
 5. Take time to play and have fun. Anyone can do this and everyone should. It Is the easiest part of any health program, and it's good for you. Play any req sOnable game you like, but do 1t often and be logical about not getting too tired.
 {. Get yourself examined by your doctor regularly at least once year just to be sure that every thing Is all right. It Is much easier to stop trouble early than to cure 1t later. Even If he finds nothing wrong, 1t is still worth the money. Spend about an hour with him and get thorough going over.
 Many of us have gotten by for years without checking up and still seem all right. Up till now 1t didn't seem to matter very much, except to ourselves. From now on, health is vitally impor- tant to the country. It is up to us
