Safety Record For Kodiak Good

Kodiak has a very good re cord" said MT. Samuel B Ram CT, representative of the United States Insurance Go. and Safety Inspector for the contractors of the Naval Base, pointing out that despite the wealth of con tributary causes to accidents such as hazardous blackout driv- ing and dismal bad weather only one fatal accident has occurred.
 The casualty happened last August 25 as Vernon Tellock was backing his service truck to refuel a power shovel on road construction when his machine plummeted off the soft shoulder into a ravine pinning Tellock, who had been leaning out his window, beneath the machine. Death was instantaneous.
 MT. Banner is now working on a safety program which he ex poets to place in effect in the near future. Better results can be gained by making everyone safety minded, he believes, and every accident avoided smoothS the road to victory.

II you are farmer ana caIlIloI puy
that new cultivator or binder you'd
like to have simply because your dealer
has none in stock and cannot procure
any, there is reason for that stu
alton which will make you little
happier as you tackle the Job Of re-
pairing your old equipment.
That comforting reason Is that our
overall war production is stepping up
much more rapidly than the experts
in Washington ever figured it would,
even when they planned the victory"
program.
Knowing how important farm ma
chinery is in producing the food we
need so urgently, particularly with
trained farm help becoming scarcer,
have discussed this problem fire.
quently with the Department Of Ag-
riculture and with ofiicials Of the
WPB and the old OPM.
In 1910 the production and sale Of
farm machinery was about average,
while in 1941, volume stepped UP so
per cent. as farmers with money to
spend began to replace old equipment.
A year ago when allotments Of raw
| materials for essential civilian needs
first began, the old OPM planned on
a production of los per cent Of the
1910 volume of new machinery plus
$50 per cent Of 1910 production Of
spare parts.
That was all right until the produc-
ton Of tanks, guns. airplanes and
ships really began to roll early this
year after Pearl Harbor. Production
Of these vital weapons was chewing
up raw materials, particularly steel,
much more rapidly than the planners
had expected. The steel allotment for
farm machinery had to be cut, first
10 per cent, until now 1t is expected
production this year will be about SO
per cent If 1910. Requirements for the
production of repair parts are still
being met.
The fact is that production Of farm
machinery could not be maintained at
planned levels without slowing down
the output Of weapons needed des-
perately by our boys at the front,
or the ships required to transport
them there. Ofacials are sure that
farm production will not be crippled
too seriously because Of the large
volume of new machinery that went
out in 1871, but It does mean that
farmers will have to cooperate to
get maximum use out Of available
machinery and viii have to spend TIME
repairing old equipment which they
normally would replace.
But while you tinker with the old
mower or binder. you can figure that
your extra effort means that a ship
load Of fighting planes is on its way
to the front now instead Of two or
three months from now.

An officer In the Army Air Corps
the other day told me he wished the
navigators and bombardiers in our
bombing planes would get a little
credit along with the pilots when they
land on their targets. Both jobs, he
says, are as important as that Of the
pilot.
When on a bombing mission 1t is
the navigator who is responsible for
plotting a course which will bring the
plane over a target perhaps 1000
miles away. Once there, the pilot holds
the ship steady on his run and it is
I'D to the bombardier to hit the
target. The three are a team, and
from all reports. remarkably accu-
rate team.
