This is due entirely to the fact that

I'm the first place." Mrs. Quire
said, there Is the matter of trans
portation In great. sprawling
area like Los Angeles, with made
quate transportation at best, the job
of going to and from work fire.
quently entails greater fatigue than
the days work itself. Travelling for
long distances, adding from two to
four hours to the working day,
standing in crowded. evil-smelling
buses or streetcars makes workers
more susceptible to illness, increases
absenteeism, reduces the efficiency
of those who are on the job.
Experience has shown that in
small towns, workers are not i'll as
often or as long, and more workers
are on the job all the time. and are
more efficient when they are on the
job.
This was proved by the fact that
the Pomona Lockheed. Kaiser, and
Simpson plants have broken all pro-
duction records.
"On this basis, as matter of cold
calculation. any industry would pre-
fer to be located in small town.

The spectacle of great industries

The spectacle of eastern industries
rushing to find locations on the
Pacific coast also is startling Here
tofore industry has harbOred the
idea that it could profit by herding
together in great cities. Heretofore
industry has appeared to be in
conspiracy to keep the east domi-

has changed Why?
There are many political and eco
nomic reasons, of course. This coun-
try never must be caught In another

bombed out in a few raids. Nor must
industry continue to permit itself to
be so dependent on long distance
transportation, either of raw mate

goods to the market. 1t is cheaper
to manufacture in branches, near
the source of supply, or near the
