Truck Transport
To Be Kept Up

No one wants even a pound of
food TO spoil through the lack Of
transportation, and to accomplish
this calls for the utmost coopera-
ton between governmental agen-
cies and private enterprise L. C..
Hawk, vice. chairman Of the Impe-
rial county farm transportation
committee, declared Thursday.
From farm trucks to heavier
trucks, every possible effort is be-
ing made to keep the farm trucks
on short hauls and the heavy trucks
moving On the highways with full
loads. The ODT carries the pri-
mary responsibility where the over
the-road haulers are concerned,
while the transportation commit
tee has the primary responsibility
when farm trucks are concerned,
he said.
We have had the assurance that
the State AAA committee and Re-
giCnal ODT will do everything pos
sible TO bring in equipment when 1t
becomes certain there are not
enough trucks locally to do the job.
With this assurance we also feel
that problems can be solved il made
known in time Hawk concluded.

of a better world that lies ahead.
Grant us, we entreat Thee, a CON-

He learned to pronounce pencicillin'

Sides and the little STEEP fc1 mula left
him cold; he still wasn't sure his stamps
were for "rayshuns'' or rasEons'; and
he ducked into the dictionary when the
President said "picayune' to a question
about fourth term.
And what ever happened to all that
beefing about absenteeism and manpower
shortages cutting dcwr war production
only a few months back? Weren't some
plants shutting down now, throwing work
ers out of jobs? That was little COM
plicated He was sorry he thought of it.
Labor said there wouldn't be any war
time strikes but there were plenty and
Congress passed law TO step them but
there were plenty more.
All year his BRAN did flip-flops on the
Treasury.Congress tax fight, with the for
mer saying taxes should tie higher be-
cause too much money was loose and
Congress saying they shouldn't because
too much money WASH loose.
1t was Congress which kept him in
mental knots all year Congress killed
the national resources planning board, the
only agency the government had for post
