To-day we represent over iS.OQ0 workers under the leader ship of John J. Driscoll. We can boast of ten contracts with out consolidating them before the wLB. When organization started in Chase and Scovill Local 2Sl donated $i65ooo toward the drive. This should prove if there IS internal trouble that it must have started from the leadership ot our Union, the executive board with members like Rasmussen who neels to the wishes of the president. The executive board will take an affirm ative position only when men ike Rasmussen are either removed or wake up to their resporsi5ilities to the membership anG not 10 one die- tator.
 The entire executive board may be assured that the will of the mem bership in the valley is going to render a decision ard rot the die tatorial policies they have been try ing to hand down. We are going 10 destroy any Ism" that will Jeopar- dize our way of life and our union.

Truck Fleet Owners
Told 10 Expect Role
In Winning Of War
Eostmon Says Operation
Would Be Left in
Their Hands

Private truck owners may expect
to find their vehicles utilized in any
way necessary by the Nations war
effort, they were told yesterday by
Joseph r. Eastman, director of the
Ofice of Defense Transportation.
Mr.. Eastman addressed lunch
con session of the two-day meeting
of the National Courcil of Private
Motor Truck Owners, Inc, at the
Willard Hotel. The group is COM
posed of representatives of indus
trial firms operating their own
truck fleets. as opposed to common
carriers, serving the public gen.
orally.
Pointing out that the executive
order creating the o. D. T. made
1t the primary duty OF its director
ITO assure maximum utilization of
the domestic transportation facili-
ties of the Nation for the success
full prosecution of the war" Mr..
Eastman said he felt many such
opportunities would be found.
Owners to Be Operators.
tors that the operation of both
private and public carriers would be
left in the hands of their present
owners. The o. D. T., he said, was
not created Ito manage and operate
the railroads or any other carriers"
Admitting that the shortage of
rubber and the diversion of steel
and other critical metals was likely
to bring discomfort and burdens
to many, Mr.. Eastman said it was
part Of his duty to see that trans
portation is not hampered to such
an extent that the war effort would
be crippled or slowed down.
He pointed out that railroads are
as seriously interested in the rubber
shortage as any one else. Railroads
use trucks at their terminals and
on many short hauls have replaced
freight trains with trucks so that
without rubber railroad operations
would be greatly impaired.

That's their lookout. They'll have to
do without doctor till the wars over"
But isn't it your duty to stay?"
I'm fed to the teeth doing my duty"
There were tears in her eyes, but she
forced a smile to her lips.
Il should have thought you we're bit
too old to change the habit of lifetime"
He looked at her tenderly.
MY DEAR. it's you I'm thinking Of
D'you think l don't know how you've
been counting the days before we 60?
Meadows said you could 60 without me.
DR.. Farley chuckled. "'You don't know
my wife, said to him. She wouldn't
leave me for anything in the world. Be-
sides, can't do without the old girl.
Just for a moment Mrs. Farley couldn't
speak. She didn't want him to see that
her hands were trembling. This was death
for her. She gave little chuckle.
''Of course won't leave you. you old
stupid, and of course you must stay"
His face lit up He'd hated the thought
of going when he was needed so badly.
She might have known it. But he looked
at her doubtfully.
You want to go home 50 much"
mot so much as all that. I've felt so
useless since the war started. It's nice to
think we can do our bit"
He took her in his arms and kissed her.
You're tops, Katie"
Hurry up and get ready for dinner.
or it'll be ruined"
He pounded heavily into his bedroom.
Mrs. Farley, so thin, 50 wan, so frail.
stood where he had left her. The worn face
was puckered with the effort she made not
to cry. She would never see her children
and her home again. The doctor in Singa-
pore had given her year; well. doctors
we're often mistaken. Anyhow. it didn't
matter: Jim couldn't leave these people
without anyone to look after them.
She went over to the desk and tore out
of the calendar the sheet on which she
had crossed off the first fourteen days of
the month. That was that.

a doctor there. He had told her there was
nothing seriously the matter with her;
it was only that she was worn out by all
those years in the tropics; she had come
to the end of her tether and must go home.
The air of her native Yorkshire would
soon put her to rights. You're going soon,
aren't you?" he asked.
In couple of months" she smiled.
That's good. don't mind telling you
that another year in this climate would
just about finish you. But 60 to England
and lead quiet life and you're good for
another twenty years"
Only thirteen days more.
Jim was late for dinner. She hoped it
was only an interminable rubber at the
club that was keeping him and not some
case to which he had been suddenly called.
She made up her mind to wait until nine.
But just then she heard his car drive up.
He came up the steps onto the veranda
"a big, bluff. handsome man with clear
blue eyes and thatch of curling gray hair.
E1E HAD immense vitality, and patients
always said that he had only to come into
the sickroom to make them feel better.
1t was remarkable that after so many
years of hard work in that trying climate
he should have kept his strength and his
high spirits. I'm sorry I'm late, dear." he
said. Meadows, the Colonial Secretary,
rang up from Singapore and insisted on
talking to me"
''Oh, what did he WANT" she asked
casually. DR.. Farley laughed.
He wanted me to do something that
I've got no intention of doing"
What was that?"
well, you see, the wars upset things
in the Medical Service. The chap that
was going to replace me here can't come
and they want me to stay on. Of course
told Meadows to 60 to blazes."
Mrs. Farley went even paler than she
generally was. Something seemed to catch
her by the throat 50 that it was difficult
to speak. But who II look after the people
here when you're gomez"

SOFT ANSWER. We have just heard
about an old Quaker lady who lives in
small English town. All reference to war
is taboo in her family. but that has not
stopped her from doing relief work and
asking for more Recently a lone German
bomber passed overhead and let the vii
lage have its first blitzkrieg. The old lady
ran out of the house and into the middle
of the lane. She shook fist at the depart

respondents writes to tell us of an enooun-

Army orders. Quickly he barked
What's the eighth General Order?"
The recruit sprang to attention, smartly
saluted, blurted out:
Thou shalt not steal!"
AND THEN there's the Tennessee draftee,
assigned to Illinois Camp Grant Medical
Replacement Center. who was asked to
fill out biographical QUESTIONABLE. In
answer to one question, he wrote:

WINGED WORDS. People in the Nazi-
occupied countries still find ways to elude
the steel censorship. One of the newest
methods concerns Hollands S storks, which
once each year migrate to South Africa,
1000 miles away. Boer farmers near
johannesburg tell of the arrival of the
storks - with notes such as the following
attached to their legs:

America has a surprise to throw at the axis in 1943-death on wings. Virtually ready, according to the October Readers Digest, and due for quantity production by early 1943, are American air. craft which wholly outclass the best enemy planes.
 Now being incubated in the Arsenal of Democracy, according to the Digest, are fighter planes with ceiling of 5000 feet, a range of 2,000 miles-much more than enough to accompany bomb- CTS from England to Berlin and back-and speeds well above 400 miles per hour. Beside these new fighters, Britain's Spitf1res and Hurricanes, Germany's Messer- schmitts and Focke-Wuf 1908 and even our own new P-47 Thunder bolt will become but pallid fore- runners.
 The Digest article says even our magnificent Flying Fortress and Lfberator bombers will be com- pletely overshado by now 1943 super-bombers. The article says the precise facts are military se- crets, but it is known that the bombing plane of 1943 will be the first true battleship of the air, not only in protective armor but in cruising range and flrepower as well.
 Our sky Gargantua will be pos- sibly double the size of the Fort ress or Liberator. Its four to six engines will have 10000 to 18.O00 horsepower. Speeds will be $50 to 400 miles per hour. Gargantua will be able to reach Berlin 30 minutes after leaving London. Its bomb bays and crew quarters will have about the same cubic capacity as a ten-room apartment. The Brit ish StirlingS and Laneasters carry eight tons of bombs. Gargantua will carry far greater loads. Dropped in tWo-ton projectiles. the load from single plane would
