 ''It is undoubtedly true that the first four weeks of war have dis located the service of the Alaska Steamship Company We are aware of the fact that there have been delays which have been costly, but prior to that, for a year and a half, the crisis also proved a great bonanza to the Alaska Steamship Company whose ships were laden to the gunwales with construction ma- terial and supplies for our defense bases, and which as result of, the emergency has been given virtually Ia, year around trade in contrast with the highly seasonal traffic with which it. was formerly handi- capped.

VISITS HOME FOLKS
The Sun Shines Brighter

To members of Newark labor, to the business and
professional men of this community and to the farm
ers OF Licking county, the announcement OF the
100000 aluminium plant to be constructed in New
ark by the Aluminium Company OF America, not only
a surprise, but is being welcomed enthusias
ticaly.
recent survey revealed approximately $500
persons out of work in Licking county, July and New
ark labor has been in the doldrums, and business
have been hard put because Of decreased payrOlS;
housing contractors, painters decorators and calpen
ters have found it necessary to seek other fields of

ing their families here.
Rumor upon rumor fitted through the air. some
with the basis of foundaton-but for the most part
fully unfounded Then like bolt out of the blue
the announcement by the production board of
plant in Newark that would provide jobs for approx
matey 5000 workers, bringing with it a housing pro-
gram to provide habitatOn for those who will eventual
y be drawn from other areas.
There is little doubt but what the decision to To-
cate here made because Newark affords the ideal
perhaps the biggest factors in the de-
cisiOn the availability of electric power, natural gas
telephone service water and labor, and of the
railroads. also entered into the picture.
From time to time data has been supplied by ind-
viduals, utilities, civic groups, and public officials
there question but what it is through the cooper
atve efforts of all of these that the decision to erect
the plant in Newark at last arrived at by the war
production board and the Aluminium Company of Amer
lea.
AS a result new hope has been generated among
ctzenS-not only for the duration of the war, but
be OF permanent nature. It's output easily be
turned toward production for peacetime necessities

Is there any wonder that the sun seems to shine

Public School Class
Schedule Changed

War time and it's accompany
ing drawbacks as encountered
in operation of the public
school schedules was discussed
by the board of education Tues
day night during it's regular
meeting. Following the recon-
mendatiOn of Superintendent
of Schools Paul b. Edwards
the board voted to change the
schedule starting at the first
of the school year from the old
time of $3.50 to 11:3O a. M,
with classes to start at 9 o.
clock a. M, and continuing un-
til noon. School will then
convene again at 1880 p. m.
with dismissal at 4:30 p. m.
1t was pointed out by Super
intendent Edwards and concurred
in by members of the board that
during the short winter days
the new war time causes chill
dren attending school to start
from home while it is still dark.
1t was felt that this fact would be
too great a handicap especially
for children in the primary
grades.

It's Camping Time
IT!

AS every Boy Scout and
YMCA boy knows, there is
nothing quite equal to a
summer camping expedition
Nhen it comes to good
healthy recreation. For
wholesome fun, which fills
the city boys with the joys
of living close to nature, a
summer in camp is a luxury
which just can't be equalled.
wark and Licking
county are fortunate that
the "Y" and the Boy Scout
organizations are able to
provide their youthful men,
berships with summer
camps of a quality which
are seldom equaled in COM
munities many times this
size.
At Falling Rock, the Boy
Scouts have a permanent
camp which has won praise
from national Scout Off
cials for it's ideal location.
Few camp sites in this part
of the country are so admir-
ably suited to the needs, it
has been pointed out.
The Scout camping season
is now underway. Boys
from Newark and Licking
county now have the oppor-
tunity of meeting and fra
ternalizing about the night
ly campfires, and enjoy
their daily swims under the
supervision of we'll quail
fled leaders who put en-
phasis on safety. There's
an air of adventure about
camping which strikes a re-
sponsive chord in the heart
of every Scout.
Our YMCA has been equ-
ally fortunate with respect
to it's summer outing facili-
ties, and a great many boys
are enjoying the mysteries
of Mother Nature and the
Cheat Outdoors, who would
otherwise be unable to do
so.
Ave only wish, we too,
could spend a week this
summer at one of those two
camps.

Scrap Metal

A gigantic scrap metal
drive is on in Newark, Lick
ing county, and throughout
the nation this week. Thous-
ands of piles of scrap are
being unearthed from gar
ages, around the home, Of
flee, farm and factories. The
scrap is badly needed to be
made into tank, guns, and
other implements of war in
an all-out effort to beat the
Axis.
We must not lapse into
legarthy because we have
purchased a few stamps
and bonds or picked up a
little discarded rubber. AS
yet we have really not had
an inkling of what it means
to sacrifice luxuries, not to
mention necessities. But
we are going to know before
this War is over, and now is
the time to make up our
minds to buckle down and
pitch in and help to the very
limit of our ability.
Let's wake up and stay
awake, and continue to do
YOUR full share to defeat the
qemy who would take from
all the things that we
d dear, whose sole pur-
e is to destroy the Amer
way OF life and all that
III lds for.
