Standardized Transportation

Americans are used t~ seeing railroad freight cars carrying the insignia of lines which operate thousands of miles away. If you'll watch a freight train go by, it's entirely possible that you'll notice the names of railroads of which you've never heard. Superficially, h may seem that there's nothing very remarkable about this. But, as a matter of fact, it's thing that happens in very few countries be- side our own-and it is the result of years of planning and building by the railroad industry.
 In great many countries Standardiza- ton of railroad track gauge is unknown --and, as result, the rolling stock of one line can't use the track of another. In some countries there will be half dozen gauges, making it necessary to go through a nightmare of reloading operations when freight must be transported long dist ances. In the early days in this country, a disparity in gauges existed between one section and another. Then the railroad men got together, standardized the gauge SO any locomotive and any car can go anywhere in the nation, traversing the lines of a dozen or more railroads in the process. Other railroad equipment has been similarly standardized-so that re- placements and repairs can be made with maximum speed and minimum delay. The whole idea has been to simplify the mechanical operation of the lines to the limit.
 One of the greatest achievements of the railroad industry lies in it's long-estab- Iished plan for pooling cars. A freight car, for instance, may leave the track of Che line whose property it is and not re- turn for months or years. The basic pur- pose Is to keep every car moving and pro ridlng service. iEEasnectiye of what line 1t

Aaron, who was fine orator, was much better suited than he to lead the people.
 Who would have picked St. Paul to take the gospel to the Gentle world? He too was miserably poor public speaker. He was of mean appearance and had some physical affiiction which made him revolt ing in the eyes of many people. Because of his firm convictions, he was probably not the easiest person in the world to get along with. The New Testament reflects several sharp altercations he had with his associates. Would not the gentle John, whom Jesus loved, or Barna- bas, the Son of Comfort, have led the Christian Church better?
 Cos has standards of measure ment the significance of which few men appreciate. He picks His leaders with perfect insignificance of which few men appreciate. He picks His leaders with perfect insight into their true qualities of heart. Men look upon their fellows and see only the embellishments of their lives; God looks into the heart and sees the man himself.

Victory Is Our Business

Almost all discussions of our part in the war and the administrators leader ship of the nation include strong refer. ence to the fact that the American people always want to be told all that can be told them without helping the enemy. The public is ready to swallow the bitter ct pills but 1t wants the facts, The ap- pontment of Elmer Davis to his present position was designed to end the confu- sion in war information, but was also looked upon by many as recognition of the need for getting more war facts to the American people.
 It is recognized that people not only want to know what they are fighting Tor, but also that they need to know how their fight is progressing, Above all, the de- mocracies believe that the public must have the truth.
 These principles have been applied in a specific sense that is bound to be re- flected in an emotional uplift in many persons, by General Motors with the inc stitution of new radio program called "Victory Is Our Business" the slogan of all GM workers. In these radio shows, broadcast in many cities throughout the country where war production plants of the Corporation are located, true-life eX- periences of General Motors men and women engaged on the fighting and pro- duction fronts are put on the air. These true scenes tell of the purpose and the sacrifice and heroism and patriotic effort of plain people in this war, whether they are fighting or producing the weapons for the fighters. They undoubtedly will be an inspiration in this period of great national endeavor.

The prophets who are telling what's wrong in Washington have been making a lot of wild guesses since the President warned officials of the Administration to stop arguing with each other in public. There is undoubtedly a good deal of con- flict in authority in high places, and even a lack of authority in important instanc- es. This throws war and civilian ma chinery out of gear Such conditions are to be expected in war time and as long as thev concern matters that can be reme- died, they do not imply new critical dang CTS. Nevertheless, you might just as well begin to tighten your belt-the worst of the war is yet to come.

Tax Reforms

When we wrote about "tax reforms" m the good-old-days it was taken for grant, ed that the news would explain how the taxpaying masses would share in pro- grams that reduced taxes. But, in the Book of Genesis it is recorded: Joseph made it law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part" of the proceeds.
 The programs suggested by those who now direct the affairs of Government ln- dicate that Congress is engaged in mak- ing laws that may be similar to those Tn the land of Egypt. Taxes are beingf lev. jed for wars, and for distribution of the collections among nations besides our own, throughout the World:
 Tax reform at the present time IS a not potato in the Senate. A $100-slash in in- dividual allowances for dependents IS considered. The Senate Committee also favors a tax on State and municipal se- curities. The "pay-as-yOu-go" plan is growing in favor Another tax reform" would slash the existing S1, 800 exemption for married persons to $1,200, and cut ex- emptions for single persons from $75O to $500. Sherman said mouthful about war. So did Cicero, who said, in 78 B. C.: "The aim of war is to be able to live un- hurt in peace"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-03

If there were no sickness among work CTS, our production front would save the equivalent of 150000 men working hve eigh-hour days a week. That is as much manpower as we lose through those acci- dents which do not kill the victims. That is enough manpower to build 42OOO more bon1bers. 30 dreadnaughtS, 100000 tanks. It is a patriotic duty now to keep well We can't avoid all illnesses, but govern ment experts believe we could save eighty million working days almost third of the total that is lost - by reasonable care.

County And State Fairs

The Victory through Food campaign now being waged throughout this coun- try needs no explanation or clarification as far as most people are concerned. Food will help win the war" is slogan 90 accurate and obvious that 1t would seem needless to talk about 1t to a nation already we'll aware of the vital importance of foodStuffS for the duration,
 At the same time, great many think it a queer contradiction in terms to laud the farmer and his products on one hand, and ask for suspension of agricultural fairs on the other, For if any group of enterprises more than pay for themselves, the fairs, county and state, certainly do just that. Farmers can only better their methods, and therefore their crops, by learning the innovations used by other farmers, and the fairs are the only place they ever have a chance to get together to compare notes, Suspend fairs, and you cut the lifeline of communication among the producers of livestock, vegetables, ana other foodStuffS,
 It has been mentioned that the suS- pension of these agrarian get-togethers will save gasoline and rubber, But as a matter of fact, as pointed out by MT. George A. Hamid, editor of Fair Times, most farmers do not have to travel great distance to reach their local fair In ad- ditaon, many fairs, such as the New Jer- sey State Fair at Trenton, of which MT. Hamid is president, are serviced the year round by regular transportation such as trolleyS and busSeS. In addition, the week at the fair is the farmers only va- cation, and if there is no fair for nm to visit, he will choose some other Vaca- tion place which probably will yield no benefit to the nation at large in the mat ter of bigger and better crops
 Naturally, the war effort takes prece- dence over all else, and any fairs con taining large buildings and facilities which the Army and Government might use have already offered their grounds for the duration. But those that remain, have not asked for any prioritles ot spe- cial considerations. All they want is the privilege of continuing their excellent work in promotion of agricultural live stock and other kindred interests, and or building up one of the most important organizations in the world, the All Cluos of our young people of farms througnout the country.
 Obviously, there is more profit for the nation as a whole to be derived rom fairs than from baseball games, racing tracks and other similar entertainment still in full swing throughout the nation. The gasoline used in transportation to and from a race track on a single day would probably more than supply the needs of the farmers en route to local fair. In addition, the Government will find itself without many thousands of dollars revenue from admission taxes should these fairs be discontinued.

SAIL ON A SUMMER SEA

(By Sara Van Alstyne Allen in the Christian
 Science Monitor) The wave oyerlaps the circle of restless sea- In the wave hide a moon and shell and the lear The sea presses tight on the curves of the shifting
 sand, As white and as open to love es the lifted hand The sand is ceiling of quiet to the turbulent deep Where the earth hides her Ire Where the lava and whirlpool sleep And over the sand and the sea and the restless
 hollow We bend the slant of our sail in the winds that
 follow. We lean like the wave like the face that is
 watching above. We move like the tide of air in the lifted wing of
 e dove.

 Frank Grillo, president of the United Rubber Workers, is one man who doesn't believe that la bore leaders at home are more necessary than fighters at the front. He has resigned from the Rubber Workers and asked for his old job back in the army not a cellophane commission you can see through it but 1t protects you from the draft.) He wants to be a sergeant Only 30 to 40 thousand men face each other in the narrow strip of desert which forms the battlefield Of Egypt. About 200 or 300 thou- sand men are on each side behind the lines, but thes battle there is small compared with some six million men fighting along a 1900 mile front in Russia Most people think of ships actually sunk as the chief casualty in a naval battle. But one danger to the U. s. fleet in the South Pacific lies in ships damaged. Some of Admiral Ghormley's ships natur- ally have been hit, and some times 1t takes three to four weeks to send ship to Pearl Harbor, or longer if to California. for re- pairs. For the time being,a ship damaged is as bad as a ship sunk. especially when it takes time to get replacements.
