10 EMPLOY CONVICT LABOR

The officials of the Office of Pro-
duction Management in Washing
ton, d. c., has approved a plan sub
mitted by Governor o'Conor, to use
prison labor in Defense Production.
In advising the Governor that they
approved his suggestion. the OPM
explained that it could take the fol-
lowing steps: To use skilled work
ers, such as machinists and tool
makers, particularly those exper-
fenced In metal trades; to use in
mates in bodybuilding, adjacent to
air fields and sanitary reservations;
to install training courses within the
prisons so as to school the inmates

JoBs FOR ALL OF US

War brings many a meance to
the people at home, no less than to
the lighting forces on the battle
front. One Of these menaces is fire.
We must expect efforts to destroy
American producing facilities thru
sabotage. That happened in the last
war and it will undoubtedly hap
pen gain. The torch and the bomb
are the saboteur's principal weap-
on's. The civil defense organiza-
tions which are being established in
all sections Of the country should be
trained to combat this danger. The
regular police and fire forces cannot
do 1t all.
The public also must cooperate to
prevent fires which are not a direct
result Of war. We must keep our
industries producing without cessa-
ton. A single great fire, in a key
factory. could delay the compile
ton of needed weapons for weeks
and perhaps months. Any fire de-
stroys materials and supplies which
are vitality needed. And to rebuild
after q fire, takes labor which
should be used for defense produc-
tion.
The civil population has many i'm
portant jobs In wartime. And flre
protection 10 one. Of the most i'm
portant.

TEN-POINT PROGRAM FOR AUTO
CONSERVATION PRACTICES

Tire and automobile conservation
is no longer a matter of choice or
money saving but an urgent neces-
sity IL motor transportation is to
hold its place in American economy
and play its proper role in the vic
tory effort of the United States, the
Automobile Club of Maryland declar-
ed today In issuing suggestions to
motorists on how to save tires, fuel
and cars:
1. Drive slowly; unnecessary
speed wastes fuel, is hard on tires
and shortens the life of your car; at
70 miles an hour tires wear out
three times as fast as they do at
40, while car getting 1879 miles
per gallon at 90 miles per hour gets
only So miles per gallon at 80 miles
per hour.
2. Continue to use your car for
necessity but avoid unnecessary
driving. Group your errands, plan
ming drives carefully, avoiding con-
gested roads, and highways In the
vicinity of defense plants. Have a
number of persons use one car in
stead of several GEOGRAPHICALLY
where the trip is made frequently, as
i'm going to work, etc.--be good
neighbor.
8. Keep car in tip-top operating
condition at all times; lack of prop
er care does more than any other
one thing to hasten the cars trip to
the junk-yard; have carburetor and
ignition checked frequently.
4. Drive smoothly; avoid Jack
rabbit" starts and slam-bang stops;
don't take corners at high speed;
don't bump curbs, tires won't stand
that abuse; avoid racing of motors;
cut off motor while waiting for
friends; use first and second gear on
longer than necessary
s. Keep tires properly inflated at
all times; both over-infiation and
under-inaation cause excessive wear,
and waste gas. Check pressure once
la week
6. Drive safely; aside from deaths
and injuries which retard war pro-
ductiOn, trafhc accidents reap
terrific toll in automobile property
which in the months to come will
not be easily replaceable.
z. Have your brakes inspected at
frequent intervals; also check on
front wheel alignment.
s. Every 5000 to 5000 miles shift
the tires from wheel to wheel as a
means of distributing wear.
8. Keep car we'll fabricated at all
times and don't forget to change oil
at the intervals recommended by the
manufacturer of your car.
10. In general, observe common
sense rules of car care and cautious
driving; by doing SO, you will help
to save materials for national de-
Tense, you will reduce the likelihood
of being involved in an accident, and
you will realize substantial money
savings in the operation of your car.

The British normally produce only
81 per cent of their own food. Their
food consumption per capita was
almost equal to ours before the war.
but due to the high rate of sinkings,
it dropped to 81 per cent below pre-
war levels last winter. With our
help, this has come up to Within Is
percent of the pre-war level, and
due to the high food value OF our
food exports. their pres
emit level OF nutrition is only or 8
percent below the pre-war level.

TWO FRONTS

The United State must fight on
two fronts.
First, there is the military front.
American soldiers, sailors and air.
men are fighting and dying in the
Pacific. They are living up to the
highest traditions of this nations
military history. They must be CIV
en- the finest battle equipment in the
world, and they must be given it in
lavish Quantity. All the resources Of
this nation, human and material
alike, must be used to that end.
Second, there is the home front.
We have said, time and time again,
that we are fighting to defend and
perpetuate freedom. That is true.
But the defense of freedom at home,
as on the war front, demands more
than lip service. lie demands straight
thinking from all. 1t demands a
people who will look squarely at
the facts, no matter how unpleasant
they may be. 1t demands the kind
of national toughness that knows
precisely what we are fighting for.
and that will permit nothing to
stand in the way of VICTORY on the
home front no less than the military
front.
We will, Of necessity, demand and
accept large measure of economic
dictatorship during the war. Wheth-
er that dictatorship ends when the
war ends, will depend upon the reso-
luton and the understanding of the
American people. The future of this
country and this kind of govern
ment is in the balance. The people
will decide which way the scales
are tipped.
The free enterprise system is at
stake in this war. Upon the mainten-
ance of free enterprise all the other
freedoms-freedom of press, freedom
of speech, freedom of religion
hinge and depend. Anything which
weakens and emasculates free en-
terprise is the enemy Of the nation.
We cannot have an ever-expanding
bureaucracy and have efficiency. We
cnnot allow non-defense spending
to 60 on unchecked and expect to
avoid economic collapse. We can
not punish industry and expect it to
be able to do its utmost.
There is nothing dramatic about
these statements. They are simple
homely truths. The winning of the
war--and the winning of the peace
that follows--will depend ON how
we'll the American people under
stand them.
There has never been such unity
as this country has at present. Every
American stands solidly behind the
President in the pledge to wage war
until international gangsterism is
destroyed. The spirit of the nation is
one of grim, uncompromising deter
mination. But let all remember that
the home front is as vital to war
and to the perpetuation of our way
of life as the battlefront. There will
be subversive influences on both
fronts. Only am awakened, aware
people can prevent their depreda-
tons
We fight for freedom, then. And
we must fight for it all the way
fight for it here in America, no less
than In the broad reaches of the
oceans and the lands beyond.
