Power Break
ifsPdCkard

Production was virtually
halted at the Packard Motor
Car Co. early today when a
short circuit in a high tension
wire in the powerhouse threw
90 per cent of the plant into
darkness.
The power. which also operates
some of the machinery, went
down at 1:50 a. m. Inability inn
mediately to effect repairs forced
the management TO send the shift
workers home at 5 a. m. tg
When day workers reported AZ
7:30 a. m. the plant was still IN
darkness.
Electricians reported, however,
that they expected to have power
restored by $50 a. m, and all
employees were kept in the plant
with the exception of those in
the foundry and forge divisions
who were sent home for the day.
At $3.50 the power was restored
and production was resumed.
The short circuit threw an auto
matte safety switch causing a
tremendous report and fash,
leading some one 10 turn in a fire
alarm. Apparatus responded but
was sent back as no fire resulted.
No one was injured
The line carries 4,S00 volts. It's
failure plunged everything in the
shops south of the boulevard and
some TO the north into darkness.
A few machines, operated and
! lighted by auxiliary power, were
kept working, however.

Public Urged to
 Use V Mail

More than 1,O2O, O,00O,0O0 pieces of mail have been dispatched to American soldiers overseas since the first contingents of American troops left the United States short ly after Pearl Harbor. Army Post Offices serve American soldiers on all the fighting fronts and at re- mote outposts in every overseas area where United States troops are stationed. At present about 25,OOO, 900 pieces of mail are being dispatched overseas every week. including an increasingly large number of V-Mail letters which now represent approximately 2o per cent of the overseas mail vol- ume The public Is urged to in- crease it's use of V-Mail since it Is the most expeditions form of mail delivery overseas. It saves trans portation and cargo space, the chief factors in delay of overseas mail. While ordinary mail may be lost through ship sinkings, the original letters of micro-flmed V Mail let ters are held until word is received that the filmed duplicates have reached their destinations

 .G.m. .e.u.
 Somebody asked us the other day, what was the matter with us, did we have a grudge against the world, and isn't there anything around here that makes us happy? We believe with McGee of the welders that every kick Is boost, and that one way to get more pro- duction is to air our troubles and maybe something will be done about them. It certainly isn't very constructive to gripe about them among ourselves, and rather than let them get us down and continue to have a lot of little things pile up and build an undereurrent of tension, we think it's much health fer to talk openly about them through this column. Sure, there's good things that happen too. One of them is the memo to the second shift outside machiniSts from Lee Black, foreman of 333V, which says, and we quote, ''T consider the 2nd shift of Dept 333V fully as capable to do any job assigned them as the first shift, and, in some cases, superior"
