Our Factory Fighters

The furloughing of experienced men from the Army to work in tire factories does not mean that our labor shortage is becoming alarming. It simply means that tire manufacturing is heavy work. Much o: it can't be done by 4-F'S, the aging, or women.
 Before synthetic rubber was Suffi- ciently plentiful, tire factories had to lay off many men. They went to other factories or into service. Today, with ample rubber, it is easier to bring back former workers from the Army than to alter present employment regulations.
 And these men will still be in the fight AS the enemy retreats and de- stroys railroads, these supplies must be moved by truck Trucks mean tires. And since synthetic tires wear out more quickly than those of natural rubber, and are frequent casualties along with the trucks that they carry. there must be added production,and quickly.

Tomorrow's Farmers

As farming becomes daily more intri- cate from the standpoint of production and marketing, which includes the knowl' edge of what to plant, how to plant, when to plant and where and how to sell the crop, it is important that young people who will be our future food producers, have wider knowledge Of these subjects than ever before,
 With these thoughts in mind, the "Young C0operators" of the Dairymens League Cooperative Association, was started in l040 in cataragus County, New York. Part of their pledge is to help preserve the freedom of agriculture, to help produce clean, wholesome milk with greater efficiency, to take pride in their occupation, and to be eyer conscious Of its importance to our nations cause,
 In training these young people lD the fundamentals of their future business, the DaiTymen's League has set an exam pie which more industries might follow with profit,

Help Save Life

The circus fire tragedy at Hartford, Conn, is unusual in only one respect it caused the death of an unusual num- Der of people in one fire. And yet death was no more definite for each of those victims than it is for the individual who perishes in a farmhouse, or for one or two or three children who meet death in home fires almost very day.
 Because some l50 people meet death from a single fire in Hartford, the tragedy is given page headlines across the nation. But when 10000 people burn up annu- ally by ones and twos, you never see the fact blazoned to the world in large type.
 Circus or night club tragedies, and W.ost other fires, could be prevented if each individual appointed himself com mittee of one to see that every time he lit match, smoked a cigarette or had anything to do with any appliance that caused heat, it was out or properly safe guarded when he left it.
 Our l0,000-a-year fire death toll could be largely eliminated if we would all learn a lesson from the Hartford disaster and be individually careful.

Do It the Voluntary Wsy

The Wagner F-Muffay-Din bill for soclalized medicine in the United States Is doing one good tbing-it IS bringing to light the fact that millions of people ln this nation, through voluntary group action, are already protected by pre- pay naert plans for medical and hospital at' EentioD. The American medical pfotes' sion Is encouraging such group action as the sHregt way to retain lneeDtlye D Ils medical profession and assure our people of the finest medical and hospital service in the world, free from the bltgbHDg ef' feet Of compulsory Federal control over the highly personal relationship between doctor and patient,
 or the thousands Of group health plans now in operation, the one tnaugufaIed by the Abbott Laboratories ten years ago is typical. Under #, an empl0ye paylng 23 cents a month is covered with a SlD, a~week accident and sick benefit, S0OQ accidental death and dismembeFment policy, hospitalIzatlon benefits amount.

Legacy

Right in the midst of hot spell came news that Russian professor is plan ming a sort of "deep freeze" museum for posterity He proposes to bury the bodies of men and animals in the preserving, perpetualIy frozen earth of the Siberian north, together with furniture, utensils, the works of great contemporary authors, and historical documents of our time.
 Will our proud inventions be obsolete curiosities and our history one of mean. ingless bloodshed? Or will this war and wars to come so deplete and degrade mankind that those descendants will have returned to a savage state rom which they look upon our remnants m uncomprehending wonder?
 Perhaps it is not taking too long view to say that We shall start answering those questions in the peace we make after this war, and the way we keep that peace in the future.

 But on my way home on the train, I thought of a few complaints I had made during the day. I'd complained because I didn't have enough gas to drive my car to the house Of a friend; because ! no longer could get Q certain kind of lipstick. and because I spent my ration stamp on a pair of shoes that hurt my feet.

Eacks. Not Fiction

Tn the "25 Years Ago" column of the Houston, Texas, Post, the following item appeared. dated May 25, 1919: Washing ton. - To finance the railroads for the balance of the year and to pay the gov eFTment's operating loss for l6 months Iap to this month, an appropriation oI ei 200. 900 900 was asked of Congress recently by Director General Hines. The sl 200 .OOOOO0 is in addition to the S5OO,- O0O 900 appropriated by the last Congress. and includes the S75O 000. 900 which failed of appropriation when the session enoed in a fiiibuster."
 It is well to remember that during tne fast war the railroads were placed unoer government operation-in other wofas' we had government ownership Of the ran, roads for over two years, and the usual deficit that follows political management of an industry.
 Tn World War II, under private man aeement, the railroads have moved vastly more freight and passenger tratilc lnan for corresponding periods m tne h nIst World War. They have done ltlls Wln' thousands fewer locomotives ana cars, and with 684 ,000 fewer employees, who ID lo43 were paid s666,56i'Ooo more tha" the railroad men employed ID lsls,

Ready for Emergency

The people of the United States are fortunate in the fact that private enter prise whose life depends on tireless ini- hative and constant progress, was the foundation of our war production effort. On moments notice our basic indus tries were ready to take up the war load without quiver. Nowhere was this bet ter Illustrated than in aviation.
 The Air Transport Command, only three years old, last year flew more than 2.l00,0O0 hours. It moved the equiva- lent of 100000 men from Los Angeles tc Seattle. On one day it transported 6B0.000 pounds of material munitions and supplies by air to one theater of oper- ations. Tn addition, the men and women of the Command last year delivered safely 99.7 per cent of all the planes they accepted for service in all parts of the world. The Naval Air Transport Service conducted parallel operations.
 While such a record by the armed services is deserving of the highest credit, it would have been impossible of accomplishment without the contribu- fions of the Commercial air lines of the country. They were ready to meet the emergency by giving freely of their air craft, their operational skills, their trained men, their ground facilities and their overall knowledge. They made pos sible an outstanding air transport record which was an indispensable contribution to the war effort.
 It is well for our people to remember these things in order to appreciate the superiority of our private enterprise sys- tenn when compared with the govern ment-dominated peoples and industries of the Axis countries.

when FTankltn Roosevelt was up for nomination in Chicago back in the almost forgotten days of 1882. Baruch fought to the last ditch for the late Governor Albert Ritchie of Maryalnd. Ber- nie was Ritchie's financial god- father. After the convention, he switched to FDR. piunked ST. GOO into the Roosevelt campaign chest.
 More recently, despite the fact that he was one months host to Roosevelt at his South Carolina plantation, straws in the wind have indicated that cider states man Baruch is yeering toward Dewey.
 One straw was Che recent revelation that Baruch's long time economic adviser, Fred SeaFis, Jr., had contributed S2,- 600 te Dewey's campaign lund. seaFls had been placed in the White House by BaFnch as ad- wiser Co War MebilIEer Byrnes.

(b) our failure Co get a reasonable amount Of sunshine or skyshine on naked skin, and co our inadequate per capita consumption Of milk and milk products. Specifl- cally the nutritional deficiencies are taD shortage of vitamin B-complex, particularly thiamin and ribofiayin, CbD shortage of sunshine vitamin D, which is essential for normal cal- cium metabolisrn, and Co shortage of calcium.

head inside the War Production Board wherein the lumber diyi- sion has put obstacles in the path of developing 35.O00 acres Of choice pine near San Francisco.
 The peculiar delays have caused tempers to boil inside the Govern ment and may result in some nasty accusations on Capitol Hill, Inside fact is that the Army and the Navy both want the tract developed: the Office of Defense Transportation has indicated it's okay, also the Man WGrpower Commission: and the U. s. Forest Service is ready to throw in some adjacent Government tracts.
 Nevertheless, WIPE lumber di- vision officials. some Of them pre- Viously with big lumber companies continue to hold up approval.
 The tract of timber Is in Te-
 hama County, California. C
 consists of 765,000. .000 feet,
 chei1sy p0nder0sa pine. the
 most critical of all Humber. For several years. it was in litigation,
 and previously the Diamond
 Match company, the wint0D Lumber company and ether big outfits tried t0 buy it.
 Nov A. B. Angle. a small busi- nessman, is trying to cut it. and has secured the definite support Of the Smaller War Plants Cor p0ralion to the tune Of s2,lo0 .000. ARMY NAVY OKAY sPURNED
 However, Smaller War Plants cannot act without the Okay of the WIPE lumber division. and here Angle has got nowhere. The lumber division is supposed to approve projects okayed by the Army or Navy, and in this case Capt. w. J. Hines, U. S. Navy, San Francisco office, wrote to Philip Boyd. head of the lum' Der division, asking him to .giye early consideration 10 this appli' eaflen,' Also. Col. Fred q. Sher- Tlll, lumber procurement officer for the Army. Navy and Maritime Commission in Washington, tele- phOned F. E. Holman of the lumber division, telling him he considered the project a good one and was ready to write him 6 letter to that effect if desired,
 Holman, however, spuFned the Armys 0kay.
 Later Holman, talking 10 an official of the Smaller War Plants Corporation accidentally dropped a remark which may be the glye- away as to why the big lumber boys in the WPA lumber division don't want the Tehama tract developed.

 Meanwhile, lumber continues one of the scarcest war mater iais in the nation, much more acute than steel or aluminium.

 FOR G. '. J0ES
 The War Department finally has decided to give G. | Joes re- turning from overseas a real break.
 For months, the War Depart ment has been deluged with com- plaintS from returning dough- boys that they were herded into camps, given brief furlOughs. and then shipped out again without even so much as a physical ey- animation. Some vets have pro- tested that. after being overseas for a long time, they couldn't even get furloGghs after returning to this country
 Meanwhile, returning Air Corps men haye received mag niiieent treatment. Returning combat fiiers have been sent Co rest hOsneg and rehabilitation eeDters, are handled with kid gloves, given lhe best Of food, medical treatment and psychia. tFie attention.
 Now, Gen. Marshall at long last has taken steps to eaualize things for the boys who fight on the ground. He has signed an order under which General ROm- eryal, chief Of the Army Service Forces, will take oyer scores Of large hotels and summer reosrts where returning "d0gfaees" can go for rest and rehabilitation All members of the Army Ground Forces returning from Oyegsesa will be eligible for this special care, will also be assured psy- ehiatric advice and reasonable furlOughs.
