Radio Repair Shops
Report Business
Good 10 Terrible
Tubes and Parts Scarce;
Monpower Shortage
Is Biggest Headache

WaShlngtOn's radio repair business
ranged from good to terrible" in
scattered shops throughout the city
today as Baltimore reported its sup
ply Of tubes and other equipment
nearly exhausted.
r. A. Barton OF the Spring Valley
Electric Shop summed up the senti-
ment Of most radiomen when he
said conditions were not very salts
factory but the business as a whole
Is far from collapse
Over r-the-counter sales of tubes
and other repair parts has long since
been discontinued. and a great many
shops are COnfning calls to their
own general neighbOrhoods to con-
serve equipment. A WPB promise
to permit release Of some supplies
for civilian radios has aroused hope
the business will resume some SEM
hlance Of normally within the next
month.
Tubes and Parts Scarce.
J. S, Bartlett, managing director
Of the Electric Institute, said the
inability to obtain tubes and certain
parts was hampeTing repair service
tremendously He said the WPB re-
ported the difficulty has been
Strengthened out and that manu-
facture Of necessary parts was to
have begun a month ago.
The combination of a scarcity Of
parts and loss of manpoWer will
close at least Is per cent of the re-
pair shops before the years end,
Mr.. Bartlett predicted. He deplored
the fact that present circumstances
were driving trained personnel from
field where they are vitally needed.
J. c. Kennedy said his shop had
found it necessary to turn down as
many as 200 repair calls in a single
day because of the lack of tubes
as we'll as insufficient manpower.
Wire. he added, was virtually un-
obtainable because OF its high pri-
ority and that solder currently on
the market was of an inferior grade
and highly unsatisfactory.
Manpower Is Headache.
Clarence A. Leppert reported his
shop we'll stocked with tubes and
other equipment because of fore
sight in purchasing orders placed
months and months ago" Man
power is his biggest headache.
Mr.. Barton said dealers were
wise on some things and not on
Others pointing out a variety of
deficiencies in shops All, however,
found tubes the biggest problem.
Charles E. Junk believed dealers
could survive on tie current day.
to-day purchasing plan presently
in operation. Old parts must be
turned in before new stock will be
released, That puts all dealers on
equal footing and prevents deal
ers with more capital from buying
up supplies in quantities that would
drain the market.

Porent-T Teacher Activities
BY MRS. p. G. ELLETT,
President, D. c. Congress of Parents and Teat

Frequently, repetition of a subject
becomes monotonous and instead of
adding strength to a cause makes it
tiresome However, there are some
things which must be kept constant
ly before a not-too- conscientious
public If they are to become effec-
tive. The subject of traffic safety
particularly as it relates to school
children-is such a one, and as proof
of the statement that it must be kept
alive in the minds of people by
constant reminding is the traffic
accidents involving children which
have occurred since school started
Many of us who have been closely
associated with the public schools
for a number of years are convinced
that school people are doing their
utmost to promote safety among
their pupils. Lessons in safety pre-
cautions are given many times dur
ing a semester, and certainly any
adult who watches the boy patrols
on their corners four times a day
must be convinced of their effec-
tiveness.
Where, then, lies the fault? Per-
haps the answer Is to be found in
the old French epigram, I'VE give
advice but we do not inspire con-
duct" How often may one see an
adult leading a child across an in
tersection controlled by traffic
lights when the red light is staring
them in the faces? How many times
may one see a child holding back be-
cause the light is red, while the
adult who has it by the hand is
striving to lead it across the street?
Human lives are being sacrificed
on the field of battle all over the
world. That is something over which
we apparently have no control. But
over the lives of the children of
washington We as adults do have
some control and it is to our ever
lasting shame that we fail properly
10 exercise 1t and by our failure
have allowed some child to be hurt
perhaps manned for life.
Children are troublesome at times.
Especially is this so when they
are playing on the sidewalks or in
the streets. We say with consid-
cradle self-righteousness: They
have no right to play in the streets. "
But whether they have the right or
not, the fact that they are there
should Immediately strike caution
TO our hearts and If we are at the
wheel OF car should cause us
automatically to slacken speed and
to drive with the utmost care.
