Persons who use small amounts of
kerosene for domestic cooking and
lighting may not get renewal rations
for periods longer than six months
formerly permitted. This provision
of a recent OPA amendment is to
reduce the number of renewal apph-
cations by the consumer and the
amount of paper work performed by
the rationing board. The amend
ment provides that rations issued for
domestic cooking and lighting no
longer will bear dates of issuance
and expiration, and coupons may be
used as long as they last. The ra-
tioning board may issue the ration
for any period up to year from
date of application. The maximum
ration allowed fer domestic cooking
has been increased to 80 gallons a

Continuing our series of inter
views with civic and industrial lead
ers on the question of Hagerstown's
future after the War, we present, in
this, the fourth in the series, the
views of r. S. Boutelle, Vice-Presi-
dent and General Manager of the
Fairchild Aircraft Division.
1.-THE opinions which I am about
to express" said Mr.. Boutelle, "are
of course subject to many important
considerations, but they are based
upon what one may logically and
conservatively expect if traditional
American spirit and resourcefulness
are allowed to run their natural
courses. ...e--.
"Hagerstown faces a future which
cannot help but be most promising
one Our city is faced with many
and varied opportunities of which
industrial leaders here are well
aware. Certainly all of Hagers-
towns present plants, whether now
devoted to war production or the
manufacture of consumer goods, will
find larger markets than ever before
for their products. People will need
the goods which our local manufac-
turers are equipped to produce, and
they will want them in greater
quantities than ever before
1.-THE postwar era is expected to
spread out our population, and that
little home in the country of which
we have all dreamed may then come
well within the realms of possibility
This means home conveniences of
every sort-mechanical dishWashers,
! electrical appliances, all kinds of
furniture, automatic lighting and
/ heating contraptions and a host of
/ gadgets on which American ingen-
uity is now at work-will be made
to allow each home to become as
self sufficient as possible. With
modernization at low cost, possibly
in the form of prefabricated housing
units, slum sections of every city II
the country can be turned into parks
or industrial sections eventually.
even before the War;" continued
Mr.. Boutelle, America had started
this decentralization process, bu
now we have every reason to antici
pate its rapid acceleration as soon az
peacetirne economy is established
Consumer goods will be made in thi,
country for the rehabilitation o.

FairchiId's Post War Program.

!
Commenting on the Fairchild Air
craft Divisions postwar program,
Mr.. Boutelle pointed out that "the
Fairchild Model FLA, now used by
the Army throughout the World,
was one of the private cars of the
air before the War 1t is one of the
most widely used planes of its type
in the World. Too expensive for
the average citizen because of its
low rate of production, it sold only
to limited market. But that very
market is expanding, and the mar
kets in the lower income brackets
are beginning to take shape, with
the result that the aircraft manu-
facturer today finds himself in po-
sition of having to produce at least
one or two models for private use if
he expects to take advantage of
what appears to be a tremendous
and continuing demand.
I'm the field of air cargo transpor-
tation,' continued Mr. Boutelle,
"Fairchild is also in an exceptionally
favorable position. There has Just
been developed here an efficient long
range cargo airplane for the Army
Air Forces to carry troops and sup
plies where they are needed during
this war. The first of these planes
is now under construction. Posi-
bilities for this model or adaptations
of it are equally as great as those
in the private airplane field. It is
natural for .Fairchild Aircraft to
play an important part in the de-
sign and manufacture of planes for
the skyways of tomorrow just as it
lis now an important link in the chain
of research and production of air
craft for war. But the transition to
postwar life should be compara-
lively easy for our organization be-
cause of our general policy of using
unoccupied or partially empty
buildings throughout the city to car
ry on many of our activities instead
OF erecting large factories which we

Another more personal prospect
is that of private flying, individual
ownership of small family cars of
the air Inexpensive, safe and rea-
sonably fast, these sky flivvers will
be comparatively simple to operate.
They will be kept in privately
owned garages at the thousands of
little air ports which will have to be
constructed throughout the nation
Large airports, miles out from the
centers of towns and cities, will be
used by airlines. The private plane
owner, if he is a farmer for example,
will have his own backyard airport,
or, if city dweller, he will use
small field perhaps in a park near
his apartment or the nearest airport
to his section of town. Thus each
community may find that several
airports are needed. When the hell
ocopter comes into use by the aver
age citizen, the situation will change
somewhat as any large yard will af-
ford ample landing space. Far sight
ed civic leaders are already planning
for this era of personal transporta-
ton by air which was on its way
even before the War"

Nogalians Can Work Together

Nogalians can work together But it took a
national emergency to blast the widespread belief
that nothing requiring coordlnated puohc e1Iort
could ever be accomplished here
Since America entered hostilities, this city and
the county at large have gone over the top III every
drive to back the war program. Only last week
Santa Cruz County learned it was the first in the
state to reach and surpass its Red Cross quota.
Whv? Two reasons have become obvious.
First it is now apparent that the local public,
once aroused to the necessity of thing, can and Will
give more than it's share of time and money needed for
the common good The manana atmosphere may
have pt us to sleep but the records show that we can
be awakened.
Second and perhaps even more important, it
takes vigorous leadership to awaken the citZenry and
put the old fighting spirit into the home town team
to force us over the goal line At long last in response
to the crying need bonanza Of latent leadership has
been tapped here.
Among those so far deserving praise for accept
ting heavy responsibilities and giving freely of their
own time and abilities to push countrywide campaigns
to successful close are Alice Abbott, Phil Capin,
Bob Marcus, Russ Meeker and Harry Chernin Each
was entrusted with big job and every one came
through with flying coors. Their work merits both
public and personal thanks from everyone for start
ing from scratch in jobs most Of us would be afraid
to tackle and staying there and pitching sometimes
almost single handed, until they had victory In the
bag.
Other drives lie ahead Other goals will be set
and other leaders will arise to meet the challenge,
riding herd on their project night and day until their
quotas are reached. By volunteering for service on
their team you will not only help them perform!
public service, but you will also help yourself All
of us rather dimy realize have bit to do for our
country and community Working in these vitally
important drives gives the training and experience
We need to do our full part and do it right
When war is over and we can again think of civic
rather than national needs will have the leaders
and the group organizations developed which will
enable to grow into better city and county than
anyone ever imagined The need will be as great
then as it is now Let's keep awake and keep plug

Facts At Last

The Secretary Of Agriculture has frankly said
before the Senate Appropriations Committee: "Snce
l appeared before you a month ago, have become
increasingly alarmed about our inability to get
enough farm labor to reach the goals we have estab
lished for farm production l am more alarmed to-
day than I was yesterday
Economic planners have largely taken farm
crops for granted like air and water-something the
Lord provides. They have considered almost every
thing else an "essential industry ahead of farming.
They have farmer so tied up with red tape restric-
tions that the time required in complying with them
is actually cutting down farm production.
We are not living in horse and buggy days: A
minority of our people farms are feeding majori-
ty Of people in cities. They can't do it without
manpower and machinery, nor can they do it on a
price basis that ignores farm production costs as COM
pared with industrial production costs.
