Play Vital Part

In furtherance of his beliefs,
Holler has just written book
iet, paying tribute 10 the "Serv-
ice Soldier on the Home Front"
the garage mechanic. He points
out that they alone are the
guardians of the greatest trans
portation system ever developed.
Holler outlines the vital part
that mechanics are playing in
the war program:
There never has been a time
in our history when so much
depended on our being able to
maintain essential autOmotive
transportation. The RESPONSE
bility of the mechanic grows as
the mileage on the cars and
trucks increases-the mechanic
becomes more important each
day as the cars and trucks now
operating grow Older.
Every day many thousands
of cars and trucks are going to
the scrap heap. 1t Is most es-
sential that the remaining cars
and trucks he kept in good con-
dition. And the automOtive me-
chanics are the only ones who
can do this job"
