an actual military necessity.
Gallant Efforts Praised.
The tireless men and women
working night and day over test

are the workers on the production

The gallant chapter workers, the
doctors and nurses in our hospitals

to help the pilysician-these are the
front-line fighters.
And just as in war-there is that
subtle weapon that, more than any,
thing else, spells victory or defeat
That weapon is morale-the morale
OF people who know that they
are fighting 'the good fight'-that
they are keeping the faith-the only
faith through which civilization can
survive-the faith that man must
live to help and not to DESTROY his
fellowmen.
The dollars and dimes YOU con-
tribute are the victory bonds that
buy the ammunition for this fight

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. "a 20
year-old Navy gunner who was hit
In the head by shrapnel so much
that my helmet was cut all to
pieces" today recounted story of
horror and heroism when Nazi
bombers struck a Pearl Harbor''
haymaker December / at Bari,
Italy.
Hero Of his heroes tale was a
young ensign, skipper Of an armed
guard crew, whose last words were ::
I've got q 3-month-old baby at
home. I certainly would like to see
my baby"
The ensign was Ray visole of
Davenport, Iowa; the gunner was
Stanley Bishop of Detroit.
Bishops story, told at the armed
guard center here today:
Il was sitting in the messhall
writing letter home. All Of q
sudden the general alarm sound
ed, and guns began to go of. I
dropped my pen and tore up to my
gun station on the bridge. The
sky was full of tracers and flares
and exploding shells, and it looked
just like the Fourth of July.
The first stick of bombs plunked
about 100 yards away, striking a
nearby vessel which exploded and
sank.
There was a heavy jar and
wave OF heat. Then there were ex-
plosions all around us. The ship
next to us was burning.
L got out about 400 rounds of
2O-millimeter gun before an erupt-
ed shell jammed it. Then two or
three bombs hit our ship.

To Combat InfuntiIe PuruIysis

The teTt OF President RooSe-

annual N1tion-,Uide celebration
OF his birthday for the benefit OF
the National Foundation for In
tdntile Paralysis:
Tonight, on behalf of the National
Foundation of Infantile Paralysis,
I wish tc express heartfelt thanks
to all of you who have contributed
your dimes and your dollars to
further the fight against a cruel
disease-a disease which strikes
primarily against little children.
The generous participation of the
American people in this fight is a
sign of the healthy condition of our
Nation. 1t is democracy in action.
The unity of our people in helping
those who are disabled, in protecting
the welfare of our young, in pre-
serving the eternal principle of
kindliness-all of this is evidence
OF our fundamental strength-the
strength with which we are meeting
our enemies throughout the world.
Early in our history, we realized
that the basic wealth of our land
Is in its healthy, enlightened chill

sibilities and enjoy the privileges of

youth is indeed our foremost con-

cause, we are determined that they
shall be properly cared for and
guided to full and useful lives.
Disease Likened to Enemy.
How different it is in the lands of
our enemies! In Germany and
Japan, those who are handicapped
In body or mind are regarded as
unnecessary burdens to the state. An
lndlVlduals usefulness is measured
by the direct contribution he can
make to the war machine-not by
his service to society at peace.
The dread disease we battle at
nome, like the enemy we oppose
apiodu, SHOWS no concern, no pity
Tor the young. 1t strikes-With its
most frequent and devastating force
against children. That is whv
much Of the future strength of
America depends upon the success
we achieve in combating this dis
ease.
Tonight, I am happy to receive
the report that your generous aid
mas made possible another year of
progress against this dread maladv.

ELECTRIC AND GAS RATES
VOLUNTARILY REDUCED BY
LOCAL UTILITIES COMPANY
Reduction Totals SS,265 Annually OF Which Greater
Part Is For Electricity; Total Reductions
Since 1885 Amount To S1S4,665

A reduction in electric and gas
rates of the Citizens Utilities
Company at Nogales amounting to
S8,265 annually, was announced
yesterday by the Arizona Cor
poratiOn Commission, upOn grant
ing the recent application of the
utilities company for reduction.
1T was a voluntary reduction on
the part of the company" said Del
Mitchell, manager here since De
cember 18th. Business is good and
it has been the company's policy
since acquiring the properties in
1927 to make rate reductions when
ever possible" he added.
The reductions are effective with
the April billings.
Electric rate reduction alone
amounts to $6.185 annually. The
top bracket of cents per kilowatt
hour is reduced to &c on the four
following schedules:
Residential service, commercial
lighting service, rural residential
service, and rural commercial light
ing service. The annual saving to
the residential consumers amounts
to $4,336 per year and annual saw
ing to commercial lighting consum-
ers 1854. Balance goes to rural
consumers.
Reduction in gas rate amounts to
$1,000 a year and came through
cancellation of the G-1 rate and the
G-3 rate with the greater part of
the saving affecting those receiving
service on the old G-1 rate. The
new gas rate lowers the cost per

Traffic Hazard
To Be Removed
At Banks Bridge

An okay to remove the solid con-

Bridge was secured this week by
Geo. LANCER, resident engineer, &C
cording to Chet RAIDER, maintenance
foreman for Santa Cruz County.
Considered traffic hazard since
it was built in about 1885 when the
flood control project was completed,
because the sidewalks prevent obser-
vation of the road ahead, the repair
work will be begun as quickly as
equipment and materials can be
gotten on the ground, perhaps with
in the next couple of weeks.
RAIDER says that the bridge will
