Let's Use This Pool
Of Now Wasted Energy
(Editorial)

THERE are encouraging signs in Tacoma today that
wasted pool of needed wartime energy is
going TO be utilized.
Dining in the ears of all war arsenal cities Of
which Tacoma is one the of industry virtually
all industry, for manpower--for men and women TO do
the work that must be done before our land armies
and air and sea fleets crush the Axis powers.
Admittedly, at present, deficient In guam
tity Of such manpower. We cannot meet the need
Of our armed forces. which must first, and Of
industry, too.
WEDNESDAY The Tacoma Times published an out
" line of program beginning to function in
Oregon.
In brief the plan calls for employment on short
shifts usually four hours of the tens Of thousands of
workers able to take these extra jobs Clerks pro-
fessiona men, business men and women all sorts of
office workers-and many others-are asked to turn
the fund of unused physical energy they possess at
the ordinary work days end into useful channels
And they doing il.
In Oregon the plan operates under full approval Of
American Federation Of Labor and Congress Indus
trial Organizations. Its administration IL handled by
u. S. Employment Service.
SUCH program should be effectuated here-prob-
So it is encouraging to know today that the local
union conference board composed Of IL metal trades
locals and Fl building trades locals, is considering and
studying this possible innovation.
No group of men are more acutey conscious Of the
manpower crisis than union officials.
There is little doubt but what they soon will pro-
pose workable plan for using the thousands who
could take "short-shift' jobs In industries
THE TIMES feels that when it comes such step
greatly will further community unity, public morale
and the effort.
1t deserves immediate attention from unions (Which
it is getting). employers and u. S. employment and
manpower officials.
Ii will aid US TO achieve the victory which, ultimately
will TO the side that best satisfies wars incessant
appetite for its chief commodty-human intellect and
energy.

Penny left out the incident
concerning the bride Jim had
refused. She CLOSED Owe the
run-of -the-mill social news of
the day. She talked at length
about Macdonald and the HUI
name Society report.
Then Penny told Nudge of her
plan to rid Kirktown of its gang
ster menace. Nudge sat upright in
bed, staring in open-eyed won
der as Penny excitedly outlined
her scheme.
Careful" Nudge warned.
You're playing with INT"
Then she said, as if talking to

insisted. I'll need your help.

Penny couldn't close her eyes.

ly about the future.
What happened in the next

Up the hill. from the valley
rolled a blast that echoed like
thunder. Before Penny slipped
into robe and raced to the door,
she had guessed what had hap
pened.
There was no mistaking the
direction from which flames shot
skyWard. She knew this was the
fulfillment of Castro's threat.
Jim had rounded the corner,
walking toward the Courier Of

struck at Penny's heart.

Penny as he rose TO his feet. "It's
been a pleasure TO see you two.
Just give me a ring whenever
you're ready"
Thanks for dropping in, Jim
said. We'll keep in touch with
you. y
Penny was thankful for Jim's
invitation to dinner. A steak
at Pietro's would hit the spot.
All through dinner, Penny
was silent Her thoughts were on
plan that was daring, and dan
gerouS. 1t must not fail. She de-
cided to say nothing about ii TO
Jim until she had worked out all
the details.
I'D like to come back to the
office tonight, jim. I've got lot
of work to do" she said.
Fine. You can keep me COM
pany while l figure out how
much we've lost this month. If
business gets any worse, ! won't
even be able to promise you a
raise, let alone pay one" he said.
That night she sat in puzzled
thought over her typewriter.
Guessing from her tenseness
that she would not welcome in
terruptions, Jim busted himself
with his figures.
Penny discarded page after
page of copy. For more than an
short, one-page thesis. When she
finished, she smiled at Jim.
I'm not going to show this to
you just yet, JIM" she said. But
l want to reserve page of adj
vertising space in the Courier,
and spot on the front page.
I'm not going to pay a thous-

have to trust me to pay for the
space"
Your credits good" he said.
Provided you can give me two
references, both of them million

Il could" said Penny, "but l
won't. And don't reach for this
copy. It's for a circular you're
going to print, when I'm ready
"Okay, Penny. The place is
yours. Whenever you're ready,
just shoot. Just let me in on it
a little ahead of time" Jim
asked.
You're the big gun behind the
campaign" she told him. With
out you / couldn't do a thing.
Without you, in fact, wouldn't

Without YOU" Jim said, sim
cerely, being here wouldn't be
worthwhile"
Thanks, pal" she murmured.
And now that you've made your
pretty little speech, let's head
for home"
The street was bathed in
moonlight. Walking beside Jim,
Penny found new contentment.
They talked pleasantly of many
things. At her door, Jim pressed
Penny's hand in his own.
Her lips were inviting. He
kissed her, tenderly.
Good night, Penny" he whis-
pered. She watched him as he
marched jauntily back toward
the foot of the hill. His kiss
would be another memory to
treasure forever.

A THREAT FULFILLED
CHAPTER TX
BY GLORIA KAYE

=
One day, after Penny had re-
turned to the Courier office
from one of her frequent visit:
to the mills, she found Jim deer
in conversation with a visitor
He was tall, distinguished look
ing, and a ready smile waited or
his lips.
Hello, Penny" Jim welcom'

I've heard a great deal about
you, Miss Kellogg" Macdonald
said. I'D like to compliment you
on your series of articles on the
Kirk mills. They're great
Thanks" said Penny, I'm
glad to know ! have at least one
reader"
Here's a little story you
might like to handle" said jim
there's some good meat in this
report of Humane Society activi-
ties.
1T isn't exactly pleasant read
ing" Macdonald warned. I'm
fact, it's rather discouraging."
Penny studied the figures.
Here, in cold type, was a tragic
story of families deserted, child
rem who would have faced star
walton if the Humane Society
had not helped them.
"Kirktown has the worst rec
in the county" Penny OBJ
served.
Eyes, unfortunately that's
true" Macdonald admitted.
There are some men who
can't resist the gambling temp
tation or any other temptations
that come their way. They suf-
fer, but those who really are
hurt are their wives and child
rem. We do our best to find new
interests for these men and to
instill in them sense of respon-
sibility."
Penny listened in fascination
to his stories of the strange cases
that his office handled. She had
never realized such situations
existed. When he had finished,
she knew why Jim had been
crusading so bitterly against the
Castro gang.
II have an idea" Penny said,
"that we can finish this Castro
business in big hurry. Will you
help?"
will we help" Jim echoed.
