Save Water to Save Fuel

Because it usually takes fuel to
pump water, the u. S. Government
asks water users to repair leaky
faucets and other leaky plumbing
fixtures. Saving of water may also
save on the manpower required
to make it available as well as the
chemicals required to treat it.

GIVE CHILD HIS CASTLE

Space Of ones own II q lifelong
desire. Yet because q child can't
express this longing we sometimes
forget the Importance In childhood
of having q room. or q corner OF
q shared room, that the child knows
Is his very own. Why does the
story Of the three bears have such
perennial fascination for children?
Il 10 the comfortable knowledge
that the baby bear as well as the
mama and papa bear has his own
bed. his own chair, that holds the
interest long before the fleeing
Goldilocks provides the exciting
climax.
This need for his own domain, as
the psychologists call it, is deeper
than just the pleasure to be derived
from holding sway over bit OF
space. It is necessary for the
growth Of the child's sense OF be-
ing q responsible human being. For
having . place to look after. as
well a. to enjoy. is fundamental IN
character training,
For example, II IL almost lInpos-
sible to teach orderliness unless the
child has . place which belongs to
him alone. 4 child just can't take
an interest In stacking someone
else's possessions in neat rows on
someone else's shelves. It may
even take q good deal OF persua-
sion to convince him that his own
things belong on shelves rather
than In . heap on the floor. But
your chances Of success are far
greater when his sense Of owner
ship 10 your ally. Another reason
why neatness begins with a place
of his own Is that the child won't
then have to contend with adult
untidiness In this learning phase.

TJ solutions
II each farmer in this country
would spend three days between
now and the end Of the year har-
vesting a crop Of timber from his
woodlands, the threat Of a serious
pulp paper shortage would be over
come.
II all the housewives Of the coun-
try would turn in every tin can they
are in the habit Of throwing away,
our tin problem would be nearly
solved.
II all OF us would spend 10 per
cent Of our income for war bonds
and stamps, the wartime financial
problems Of the government would
be pretty well under control.
II each household would contrib
ute a pound of fat to the fat drive
each month, 1t would take care OF
our needs for munition-making and
for soap manufacturing.
II each motorist would figure out
how to cut his gasoline consumption
down by as little as one gallon
week, 1t would do a great deal to-
ward ending the fuel problem in
the East and would also ease our
rubber crisis.
And IL each family which has
plot Of land had planted a fair
sized Victory garden last spring,
the difficulties of feeding this ma.
ton would bs solved.
DROPS important
All OF those ''ifs" are Of the drop
in-the-bucket variety. They are re-
viewed here to re-emphasiZe the
fact that 1t actually takes very lit
tie on the part Of each OF us 20

During the war it has been ap-
parent that some Of us think the
little we can do Is Of such minor
Importance that 1t isn't worth the
bother. II housewife reads Of the
enormous need for tin cans. she is
apt to think of the four or five cans
| she might contribute each week as
being such an infnitesimal part OF
The Coolidge examiner., 1943-08-06
TODAY AND TOMORROW

the demand that it isn't worth both
ering with.
But actually, the only reason we
can still get food in cans. and the
only reason the army can be sup
piled with its needs for cans, is that
millions of housewives are bother
ing to make this infinitesimal con-
tribution each week. Each contrl-
button Is just a drop In the bucket
but enough drops will fill any
bucket, no matter how large.
We need to keep that in mind
constantly, as we are asked for lit
tie sacrifices to help win the "ar.
They really will help. Our war
program depends on the co-opera-
tion Of all of us-and the little things
become very big things when null
tiplied by our whole population.
VOLUNTEERS whips
So far, our government has man
aged to keep its requests for CO.
operation on a voluntary basis.
In Germany. if more pulpWood
was needed as it is here today, Hit
Ter would probably issue an order
that every farmer spend three days
cutting wood and would provide a
severe punishment for those who
didn't obey.
But in this country we don't be-
lieve in getting cooperation by
threats. So instead Of ordering
farmers to cut pulpwood. a big ad-
vertising and promotion campaign
will be carried on to appeal to the
patriotism of farmers and to ex-
plain to them how it will help win
the war if each of them will harvest
a crop Of wood.
This method may be slower and
less productive, at first, than the
Hitler method. But in the long
run, as the importance OF this con-
tribution spreads, our farmers viii
undoubtedly show Hitler, on?e
again, that a lot more can be s"-
complished by voluntary met'1' ;
in a free country than by using a
whip

had been to prevent the Japs from
attacking Australia from Port

Only In the past few months have
