POST WAR TIRES

Motorists are promised a tire with
a life of 100000 miles-after the
war. A current issue of Electronics
says:
Commercial development of an
electronic dielectric heating method
of vulcanizing rubber now being used
by the Army as a mobile means of
quickly effecting tire repairs will
provide it.
The sectional repair unit is based
on the principle of having the ma
terial to be heated placed between
two spaced electrodes. The variation
in thickness between the tread corner
and sidewall is compensated for by
a bag containing a fiowable non-com-
pressible material, this bag automat-
ically forming mold of the proper
shape and enabling uniform pressure
to be applied to the patch area.
1.-THE fixtures to hold the tires are
designed so that minimum of labor
is involved in Che setting-up opera
ton. The tire is laid into the fixture
and from then on is positioned by
handwheels."

ALI IN DAYS WORK

Small fires, no less than big fires,
receive the prompt attention of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
Recent example was a number or
fires in bowling alleys, which were
not spectacular or noteworthy except
for freqeunt repetitions all over the
country. Thorough Investigate
showed that bowling alleys embodied
certain common fire hazards. The
National Board published pamphlet
discussing these hazards. Its findings
indicated that smoking in the pin
rooms is the most frequent cause OF
fires in bowling alleys, and suggest
ed steps to remove the danger
Such an accident is all in the days
work of fire prevention, Hereafter,
people who visit bowling alleys will
pursue their fun with greater safety
and the property of such places of
recreation will be little less likely
to go up in smoke. Similar efforts to
reduce the menace Of fire occur day
after day. Through the years, hun
dreds of millions of dollars and
countless thousands of lives have
been saved. These efforts are reward
ed with no medals. The Dire proven

PARENTS SHOULD HELP BACK
TO SCHOOL CAMPAIGN

Since 1910 high schools have suf-
tered an enrolment drop of 1,OO0,-
000( students. Some of those stu
dents who left school to go to work
lave already managed to get into
enough trouble to be listed as juve-
nile delinquents. Others because they
have more money in their pockets
than kids their age should have, and
because they think they needn't lis
ten to parental advice if they are in
dependent wage earners, will probab-
ly get into difficulties of one kind or
another.
But others won't find out that
leaving school before they received
high school diplomas was a mistake
until the war boom is over and they
find themselves unable, because of
lack of education, to compete sue
cessfully for jobs.
Parents owe it to their high school
children to do everything possible to
keep them in the classroom during
the school months. The country needs
their part-time help-working after
school, on saturdays anu during Va
cation, if they can manage it without
neglecting their health or their stu
dies. But first of all it needs them in
the classroom, where they are being
prepared for adult life.
The high school kid who won't
listen to his parents ''stay in school,
advice should be taken to talk to an
understanding educator, to success
full man in the field he plans to enter,
and to some man or woman who has
learned the value of an education by
having had to make his way without
one.
A national "Go-To-Sckool'' drive is
on, but it won't get far unless par
ents cooperate by doing everything
in their power to make their boys
and girls see why it is important for
them not to quit school for jobs, ev-
en- though the jobs pay out of pro-
portion to the students worth.

So MILLION MUST BE
RE-EMPLOYED AFTER WAR

In an exhaustive study made of
the gigantic task of rehabilitating
and re-employing returning veterans
and civilian war workers, the Nation
al Metal Trades Association urges
industry to cooperate fully in the
solution of this problem, most vital
toward building sound postwar
America, and that all companies es-
tablish policies and practices dealing
with rehabilitation and re-employ-
ment problems.
Citing the vastness of the task,
the association, in bulletin prepared
by it's Activities Committee, estimat-
ed that there may be between 49,
100000 and 100000 ex-service
men and women after the war, and
100000 civilian war workers
whose transcription will be part of
the whole program.
AS to the urgency of the problem,
the association said already 1,20O,-
900 veterans have been released at
the current rate of $4,000 month.
The association now is making fur
more than 1000 members plans with
the most practical methods of putting
into effect the cooperation it urged.
The associations bulletin reviews
the present status of unemployment
through the Veterans Placement Ser
vice Board in cooperation with the
U. S. Employment Service, local pub
lie employment service and Selective
Service; the Veterans Administra-
tons program for the hospitaliza-
ton and rehabilitation and refrain
ing of disabled veterans, and the re-
Mobilization program set up by the
Federal Security Agency for the re-
Mobilization, retraining and employ
ment of both civilians and veterans.

8. Place every dollar not utilized

to hold on to these Bonds until
they mature, or until after the war
emergency has passed. This will

initiation, and at the same time to
build up the investors financial re-
serves for the postwar period.
You will note that no mention
has been made of personal con-
sumption expenses. These should
be kept down to the bare mini
mum. Our rationing system is
great aid in holding down spending
for consumer goods, but every pa
triotic citizen should think many
times before purchasing an arti-
Gle that is not an absolute ne
cessity. If War Bonds are pur-
chased first and with the determi-
nation of holding them to maturi-
ty, it will be surprising that we
can do without so many supposed
necessities.

the opinion that those who do not
want to go to the trouble of brining
should confne their efforts to rel
fishes, fruit pickles, and sauces, all
Of which are simple to make. How
ever, it should be kept in mind that
good relish makers test by taste
because even the most reliable of
recipes may require more or less
spice and vinegar than indicated.
The vinegar should be not less than
40 percent nor more than 60 percent
grain strength. Unless the recipe
calls for another kind, use apple
cider vinegar.
Usually, whole spices are pre-
ferred to ground ones, but nowadays
one must be satisfied with whatever
is available. 1t is advisable to tie
the spices, loosely, in piece of thin
cloth so that they can be removed
before the pickles or relishes are
canned. All foods containing vine
gar should be canned in jars with
glass or vacuum seal lids and must
be hot when canned, or else proc
essed 20 to 80 minutes at simmering,
in order to obtain an alright seal.

FARMERS of this Nation are

FARMERS of this Nation are
performing a magnificent job of
essential food production during
the present emergency, in spite of
their great handicaps in obtaining
the necessary materials, equip
ment, machinery, and labor. Due
to their determination to do a good
job and to favorable prices for
farm commodities, they are re-
ceiving higher net incomes than
during the tWenty-year pre-war pc
Rod. The question arises as to
the wisest use to make of these
net incomes that will hasten the
winning of this war and at the
same time assist in preventing
dangerous imitation during and inn
mediately following the war.
Farmers, like all other workers
on the home front, are not salts
fed with merely doing well the
job that is expected of them. They
are eagerly on the alert for other
ways they may help to bring peace
at the earliest moment.
AS I see it, the wisest use a
farmer could make of his current
net income would be to:
l. Keep the farm in condition to
produce to it's full capacity. This
is extremely difficult due to short
ages of materials, equipment, ma
chinery and labor; but it is being
done by all good farmers. Much
attention must be given to keeping

EDITORIAL
By JAS. t. WALKER

Edward J. Crowley, AZ years
old, Navy Yard worker acquitted
in trial of charges of first de-
gree murder last Tuesday in Kit
sap County Superior court:
Crowley was charged with this
crime by Prosecuting Attorney
Fred Cohen. In an attempt to
prove that the death of Edna
Ross Crowley was the direct
result of the shot fired from
the s. & w. .32 calibre pistol,
Mr.. Cohen produced quite a bit
of documentary evidence. The
services of Stanley Mcdonald,
ballistics expert from the sher-
ifs office of Multnomah County,
Oregon, was brought to bear
pressuer on the case.
At the time of the fatal shoot
ing, which occurred in the home
of the Crowleys at Sinclair Park
shortly after 3 o'clock a. m. on
March IL, the missile struck Mrs.
Crowley slightly to the right OF
her spinal column, ploughing in
ward about three inches, then
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1944-10-18

struck a vertebrae and DETECTED
upward and lodged, thus sever
ing the spinal cord and causing
paralytic condition from that
point downward.
Crowley had admitted firing
the shot accidentally. With the
gun on exhibit, Cohen went to
all the trouble to make the trial
long drawn out affair. Cohen
contended that the gun muzzle
was placed against the body of
Edna Ross and deliberately fired.
Proofs were made on corduroy
material similar to the chenille
robe worn by the deceased.
The experiments were made
with .32 regulation cartridges,
whereby the ammunition in the
murder weapon was .32 rifle
type. The ballistics expert oculd
not be sure the powder used for
, the experiment was of the same
age as the powder used by Crow
ley's gun.
The statement the dead woman
issued was not signed. Due to
attorney, the deceased was not
able to sign the statement taken
down by his stenographer.
The defense attorney produced
a check which the deceased had
signed following the day of the
Cohen visit.
The jury was not permitted to
hear the statement produced by
Cohen because it was unsigned.
The law provides that death
bed statements are permissible
as exhibits in court only If the
person giving such a statement
Is aware death is near. Mrs.
Crowley knew she was critically
i'll, but no one knows whether she
knew she was dying or not.
Crowley was dismissed by
Judge Sutton on grounds that
the prosecution had insufficient
evidence. This declaration came
| following a motion by defense
counsel for dismissal.
We must give positive credit
| to the splendid attempt by At
torney Cohen to break Crowley s
neck. Had he tried his case for
manslaughter, homicide or even
second degree murder, he prob
ably would have succeeded.

his finger to do anything about
on under a deal which is neither
new or old, but fair to all peo-
pies of all classes.
Who stands to gain from the
re-re-re-election of President
Roosevelt? Is it the three mil
lion persons added to the gov
eminent payroll? Is it the three
or four persons whom the New
Deal attributes to each of those
millions on the pay roll as being
influenced by their job that de-
sire his reelection? 1t is the
thousands upon thousands or per-
sons who have received some
thing for nothing? Is it the
people who remember, now that
pork is hard to get, that it was
this administration that wantonly
slaughtered millions of little
pigs? Should an administration
be retained in office which be-
lieves that the manner in which
to gain prosperity is to quit pro-
ducing and to pay those persons
from the government till for
their non-production? Is it the
multiple number of young boys
now fighting across the seas who
have never known any other
president? These questions,
admit. perhaps cannot be an
swered by you, but according to
the New Deal you may "clear it
through Sidney"
In most counties the sheriff
and the treasurer are limited to
two consecutive terms. This lin
itation no doubt has it's basis in
the fact that too long tenure in
office apparently opens the way
too easily for graft and cor
ruption and concealing the same.
If such practices are salu-
tary thing for the comparatively
smaller offices of sheriff and
treasurer and the Father of our
Country acted upon that princi-
pie, do we not have as great or
greater reason for combining the
President of the United States
to a limited tenancy in office?
Too long continued in power can
give one an exaggerated sense of
his own Importance. In the
words of Thomas e. Dewey -
THAT is why it is time for
changed"

As a foot note, we mention

did plead innocent. but down In
his heart knew this act was in

for his crime by the hands of
God, because only he and God
know whether he is guilty or
not. Supreme justice is a syno-
