900, ooo. ooo, ooo!!??

Some of us can remember away back
when 100000 of anything was hard enough
to comprehend when 100000, to say
nothing of 100000, was literally "out
of this world"
But, what with government budgets in
the many 600 000, 000s these recent years, all
Of us seem to take long string of ciphers
in our stride without stopping for breath
or ratiocination.
Currently the cipher string has to do
with $4,000, 900 jobs-or is it SIS 900, 600? The
difference in the two figures is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that Americas manu-
featuring industry is eager to build post
war employment-to better the Is per cent
Of total employment, for which It was re-
sponsible before the war-and to help en-
ergize our whole economy, whatever the
ooErect amount Of cphers!

Settle Surrender
Terms Now

In few weeks the perennial problem
OF contract for the nations coal miners
will be due to bloom. Inasmuch as wartime
strikes dictate the settlement terms of cur
rent labor controversies, the following edi-
torial from the Baltimore Sun is especially
timely:
1.-THE steel industry has asked Mr.. John
l.. Lewis to present his terms for a new
coal contract as soon as possible. The present
contract lapses on March 81, and the steel
men well know that Mr.. Lewis's men do
not work without contract Hence they
want to get new contract negotiated long
before Mr.. Lewiss men feel it necessary to
strike. For a coal strike now, with coal
supplies at new lows, would cripple the
war industry.
Actually, however, it is not primarily
the steel men who ought to be getting ready
to do business with Mr.. Lewis It is the
government men who handle war labor
relations. The question of contract terms
In coal always ends up in the government
labor tribunals. And the government labor
tribunals, after striking attitudes of great
firmneSs in opposition to Mr.. Lewis, always
end up by surrendering to him-after his
men have struck.
What we suggest this year is that the
government work out the terms of its sur
render to Mr.. Lewis before Mr.. Lewis feels
1t necessary to strike. In 1941, after ALL the
government denied to Mr.. Lewis the uni
versal closed shop in coal-and then con-
trived to deliver it to him after his MEN
had struck In 1913 the government denied
to Mr.. Lewis $2-a-day wage increase in
coal-and then contrived to deliver it to
MIR. Lewis after his men had struck
Surely, with increased experience in
the field, the government really ought to
be able to handle the things little more
tidily this time. Surely the art of economic
planning by government has now advanced
to the point where the surrender to Mr..
Lewis can be planned before, rather than
after, the war industries have been threat
ened by general strike in coal"

Disasters May Come

This community may not be on the call
ing list of a serious disaster during 1915,
but unless past history is upset completely
hundreds of communities throughout the
country will suffer such a visit.
A recent nationwide survey revealed
that Red Cross Chapters of the country have
arrangements completed to house more than
four million people and to feed thirteen mil
lion persons daily in time of emergency.
Perhaps many people do not realize
that the Red Cross in this community has
its disaster committee, which has made
prior preparation for any catastrophe which
may strike.
We hope we may never face the hard
ships of disaster, but at this time when
the Red Cross is raising its funds for the
coming year it would be well for us to
remember that by contributing to the Red
Cross we will be helping some American
communities when that help is needed most
perhaps our own.

How About A
Two-Way Stretch

AAF personnel all over the world are
engaged in an about offensive to stretch"
the nations critical supply of rubber. In
Europe, in the Pacific, on all the fighting
fronts, the men who fly and service Amer
ica's combat planes are instituting measures
to get longer life from every airplane tire
and tube.
Gen H. H. Arnold, Commanding Cen
eral of the AAF, recently estimated that
% percent reduction in the use OF rubber
equipment could BE effected But 1t. Gen.
William S. Knudsen, director of the Air
Technical Service Command, which is CO.
ordinating the rubber conservation activi-
ties of all AAF commands and air forces
in this country and overseas, is aiming for
still better results.
Through this new conservation pro-
gram" Gen. Knudsen said. 1--WE hope to af-
feet an even greater saving-possibly 80
percent-or even as much as so percent on
some items"
Here is a project that deserves the
earnest support of every American, civilian
or military For what the AAF is doing,
all of us can do.
These rules sound simple enough
They're common-sense suggestions that
every driver has probably heard before. The
important thing is that they will work If
YOU try them.

A Share I'm Kindness

Nothing in life is more difficult for
peace-loving people to bear than war With
all Its grim horror, its amending trail of
sorrow, its disruption of homes and its utter
waste of life and property Yet the people
of this nation are in the third year of the
worlds most horrible war
Each day more blue stars in service
flags turn to gold as this son, that brother
or that father falls on a distant and un-
known battlefield Each day hundreds, or
thousands, of men are carried back to hos
pitfalls with grievouS wounds. Each is men,
Der of some American family. Thousands,
yes millions, of American men in uniform
are tired beyond belief of battle, and home
sick for home and family. Yet they know
they must keep on.
There is no one of us but would give
everything to Tighten the burden of sor-
rowing families who have lost their men,
or calm the fears of those whose men have
been wounded. We would give all we could
to ease the pain of the injured, or still the
homesickness in those who must fight on
Today, as the American Red Cross opens
its campaign for funds, we can do our
share in Tightening the burden of sorrow,
in calming the fears, and in easing the pain
of the wounded.
The American Red Cross was created
just for that purpose and through its chan
nelS Of Mercy we can do most for those
who need our help.
The Red Cross is at the front keeping
alive the atmosphere of home for the men
who are fighting; the Red Cross is in the
hospitals cheering the wounded and send
ing messages home to anxious and fearful
relatives; the Red Cross is sending blood
plasma and surgical dressings to save the
lives of American youth; the Red Cross is
here at home to aid and assist families in
distress.
This is Your Red Cross and through it
you can do your share in human kindness
and blunt somewhat the horror that is War.

II Takes More
Than Money

About the time public opinion in this
country reached its peak IN deciding that
we would have nothing further to do with
the troubles of the rest of the world,
handful of pioneers in the aviation industry
started development of the first long range
bombers. That was in 1884.
In the ensuing few years those pioneers
mortgaged themselves to the eyes to carry
forward their work of building the worlds
mightiest planes. They spent millions OF
dollars on experiments, sometimes only to
see them crash into oblivion. Little public
encouragement was forthcoming because
preparation for war was not politically
popular in the peaceful thirties. In addi-
ton to developing flying fortresses and
superfortreSses, air transport pioneers spun
airlines across the continent and across the
seas. Over these airways American men,
in the bitter school of experience, became
matchless pilots, familiar with the elements.
Then came Pearl Harbor!
The nation turned to those pioneers,
70 those pilots and their machines. Sud-
denly it wanted to spend billions when be-
fore it refused to spend millions, to make
the United States into great air power.
The billions would have been utterly use
less but for the ground work that had been
going on for ten years in backyard shops all
over the country; but for the nucleus of
trained men from the airlines.
AS our super bombers now roar to the
far corners of the earth, we should pause
long enough to realize that money alone
could not have produced those planes. The
pioneers of American aviation had them on
drawing boards and in actual service long
before the first billion for defense was voted
by Congress.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

When a book turns up in the
movies anything can happen-and
usually does! Very few movies adj
here exactly to either story or dia-
logue from the original book. They
often follow the trend Of the mo-
ment. Here are some interesting
paragraphs from the Publishers
Weekly" column, BOOKS INTO
FILMS:
Every time a film producer or
story editor turns down the latest
spy story-and there are hundreds
written every year-something hap
pens to bring them back into favor
again. Like mysterie, they are a
dime a dozen. Everybody writes 'em
and most of them are bad. But bad
or not, people still 60 on reading
and liking them. And once in a
while you see good one in pictures.

Notes from
Bacon Memorial
Library

Hemingway did not write TO
HAVE AND HAVE NOT as a spy
story. He wrote about fishing and
smuggling. But in pictures it came
up spies. Warner Brothers knew
that you can't properly scare audi
ences unless you threaten the whole
Of America. So they menaced
Humphrey Bogart with the entire
ominous weight Of Vichy, France,
behind which stood Nazi Germany.
There are two kinds Of spy
stories. In one the villain is spy
ing on America. In the other the
hero is an American-or at least q
citizen of an Allied nation-spying
on the enemy. So far as I know
there is no other spy formula, ex-
