Man Acquitted Of Drunken Driving;
Explains George Was al Wheel

name unknown. took the rap for

ming.
Police Judge W. A. Richmond
said he believed the story OF Wal
ter Allison. a2-year-old employe Of
the Mcchord field post exchange
restaurant. who stood before him
charged with drunken driving.
Allison said he was under the In.
fluence. but was asleep in the back
seat, not driving.
Met Him In 1897
George, whom Allison said he
met on . WPA Job In 1887 and
had known ever since without
learning his surname, took over
the wheel because the driver was
tired. Allison testified. Allison
insisted he had looked for George
ever since the accident but hadn't
found him yet. When he does, he
told the court. he will send George

Check Furnace
For Fire Dancer

Danger of fire in the home re-
sulting from furnaces and boilers
can be materially reduced by the
observance of a few simple rules.
One common cause of fire losses
which can be easily checked BY
simple vigilance is the overhead
ing Of improperly constructed
chimney flues. Another cause cas-
lily avoided is the overfirng or
overhestine of furnaces and boil
ers by leaving the drafts open too
long.
Automatic heating controls
should he checked by experts at
regular intervals In order TO he
assured of their good working or
der as a protection against the
possibility of overheating.
Regular cleaning of furnaces
and flues of SCOT also acts as q
preventive against fires.
Improperly installed heating
equipment, which permits high
temperature surfaces to be in too
close contact with combustible ma
terials, is another common cause
of fires. For example, in a warm
air heating system, wall stacks
are sometimes placed so that they
are too close to wood surfaces
which are without necessary pro-
lection such as asbestos or air
space, and very often the wall and
floor registers are too tightly
placed against wood.
Another sll-too-common cause
of destructive winter fires in
homes is the leaving of unattended
fires in fireplaces without essen
tisl screen protection.

but spokesman for them Indicated
that he would receive full ccopera-

more ships. guns. and Airplanes

dience. Then he revealed a plan
for profiting by that. Production
scoreboards will be set up in shops
so that workers can see what lies
ahead.

There was division Of opinion
between at least two labor spokes-

production.

On The Offensive

We have been clamoring for second
front in Europe to relieve the German
pressure on Russia and to keep Hitler from
Joining hands with Japan in Asia.
AS yet that front has not been opened,
but it is highly gratifying that our forces
have thwarted Japan's plans to attack Rus
STA and India by striking strong offensive
blow at Solomons Islands, which are STRAIT
egicallv located in the Pacific not far from
Australia.
1t is indeed good news that "our ma
rines have landed" and that we are making
progress in our drive to re-take the islands,
It is good news that we are now able to
take the offensive, and although the Japs
are putting up stubborn resistance, it seems
evident that our forces will drive them off
of the Solomon Islands.
Aside from being second front in the
Pacific to relieve pressure on Russia, this
major battle that is still underway will en-
able our conveys to follow more direct
route to Australia and will greatly reduce
the possibility of an attack on that country.
We are cheered that the marines have
landed' and are making satisfactory pro-
gress". We hope a second front in Europe
will be possible this fall.

These two days are designated as
Junk Rally Days" and progressive, patri-
otto local merchants are offering valuable
prizes to those who cooperate and bring
in Junk. In addition to that, the federal
government, through the WPA, is paying
or is offering to pay for the junk which is
so badly needed today in the war produc-
tive program.
This funk rally' is part of the new
drive to collect an average OF liz pounds OF
scrap metal per person in this county dur
ing the next six months.
This is one way that everybody can
help keep our fighting men supplied with
war equipment. Scrap metal is needed now
to make guns, tanks, airplane and other
weapons of war We have heard great
deal about secret weapons. Our secret
weapon is not some rare and precious met
al, but it's junk scrap material OF all
kinds. Yes, scrap metal is one OF the most
precious weapons in Americas arsenal of
democracy.
We have from this county hundreds of
bows in service. Others are being taken
each month. Those boys must be provid-
ed with guns, tanks, ships and planes.
Look around your home and on the
farm .. gather up your scrap and bring
some of it to town Friday and Saturday.
Throw your scrap into the fight. Remem-
Der, America is calling you -. calling for
scrap metal and rubber.

were part of plan of the Ger
mans to launch airplane attacks
this summer or early fall.
The activities of the FBI, it is
believed here, may have fore
stalled attacks which might 9TH
erwise have been made before
this time.
The new tax program will I'M
doubtedly be postponed, at least
in part, until after the election.
The senate finance committee, af-
ter considering the house-approv-
ed bill for many weeks, has now
put the finishing touches on a
measure which is still far short
of the amount set as a minimum
by Secretary Morgenthau. 1t is
believed likely, if the treasury
continues to insist on more taxes,
congress will pass the present
measure in the near future and
then consider a sales tax after the
election is over. The President
and the treasury have both dis
approved Of a general sales tax,
but many congressman see it as
the easiest way out.
