Parts Firms Do Bit

Parts companies have also done
their share in the drive. In fact,
the smaller companies have shown
the best results because IT,
resources of scrap have me-
before been touched.
Motor Products reported II
tons Of non-production scrap;
Spicer Manufacturing Company
230 tons and Motor Wheel 20
tons. Even the tiny Tool Engi-
neering Company raked up 5000
pounds.
Reports arc still coming in from
other companies which will swell
the first months aggregate.

Of "unknitterS.
In lhc cast, there arc several
groups Of unknitters who take out
al the mistakes of patriotic If
unskilled knitterS making gar
ments for soldiers ana sailors
through the Red Cross.
Mrs. McAlphine, chairman OF
the Detroit knitting committee

1t Is Dangerous To Hoard

1t seems quite natural that whenever the govern
ment mentions rationng of certain articles there
those--and they many, who Immediately
would lay in generous supply-to another term,
they guilty of boarding. While strict rules are
announced, concerning boarding, with penalties for
those who break them there is no doubt but many
keep on praccing it, willing to take the chance IL
there could be some way the government to issue
rationng orders to be effective Immediately without
any previous publicity given, no one would nave
warning in which to do little extra shopping for
that particular article, it might help do away with
boarding AS is, often when the word is out that
certain articles be ratoned, it is slgnal lot
would-be hoarders to get busy. Firms sell them the
article soon rationed long as they have 1t on
their shelves or can get it. Then when the restrc-
tion orders along, stock is often so depleted
that even those who did not hoard, cannot get their
lust allotment We to state were it not Tor
boarding, when the rationng orders are announced
but few people would notice it.
With rationng of gasoline there will likely be
very strong urge to hide some OF the precious Huld
However those who do it, should think twice, since
there would be more than one danger. 1t has been
illegal for long time to keep more than certain
amount of gasoline about buildings People would
be badly scared and raise awful howl should the
word get out that certain person is keeping dyna-
mite about garage, or in the house or any other
building but would think little about it If they were
keeping gasoline, and yet gasoline is powerful ex-
plosive more dangerous than dynamite and constl-
tutes of gravest fire hazards.
Don't acquire the boarding instinct. IT you fol-
low it, in the long run you may find yourselves worse
off than those who did not. Better try and obey or
ders-it may prove best in the long run

Youth
Great wars have always been
won by youth. The Union army un-
der General U. S. Grant in April,
1865, averaged nineteen and half
years of age. The Confederate
army at Appomattox averaged about
year younger. These figures indi-
cate that many thousands of Amer
lean soldiers in the war between
the states were less than nineteen
years of age. Would we say that

The facts are that it was the quail
ties of endurance exhibited by
youthful soldiers which enabled
young men to have the resiliency
and stamina to stand up under
heavy punishment through long and
arduous campaigns. Older men had
dropped out of the ranks before
the war came to an end. Nor could
these youngsters in our Civil wal
days brutalized them or made them
unfit to be good citizens after the
war. Veterans of both armies prov.
We may safely look ahead to the
toll and strain we must endure in
this war waged against us, and
looking ahead, it is safe to assert
that being necessary to cause young
men of eighteen and nineteen to be
trained for service in our armed
forces, these youngsters will make
the very best kind Of soldiers. Their
aggressive spirit will endure and
grow stronger as they endure The
American army as a whole will be
more efficient for their presence
We will win the war the more
quickly and then in civil life during
the next few decades these young
veterans will become leaders in
business and government.
