POSTWAR ENTERPRISE

Since the.en of World War II, there
has sbeen a parade of miracles in inven-
tions and new products which are helpful
in some way to almost every family There
are the so-ealled new wonder drugs" adj
vanoAe in television, quiok-frozen fruit
juices, and many others.
One of the most widely used of these
new products is the all-purpose detergent
Let's look at this homely example and see
whstit is doing about time and labor saw
ing lin American homes.
Take the family wash on "Blue Mon
day. The new detergent lifts the dirt out
of the clothes and dissolves it into the
wash water. If the clothes are thoroughly
wr1ng out, they don't even need to be
rinsad This saves the drudgery of lifting
heavy wet clothes through two or more
rinssngs as we'll as a lot of time for the
housewife. There is no ring left to be clean
ed around tie wash or bath tub. Dishes,
after-they are washed, don't need to be
wiped hey can just be rinsed and left
to draip and dry themselves. This is a
blessing to many husbands and teen age
children as well as the lady of the house.
.Froin a National standpoint, this
seemingly simple new product and its adj
vantages are important because they
mean great saving in water through con-
serving the enormous amount needed for
rinslng of clothes. For instance, it is esti-
mated that family of four can save an
average of 40 gallons of water each week
if rihsing of the family laundry is omitted.
In nearly all parts of the country water
Supplies are getting lower and lower.
Webs are having to be dug much deeper
in many parts of the Nation, and many
towns and farms which are now plentiful
ly supplied will feel that pinch judging
from the rate things are moving.
when you add together ali the new
Improvements, inventions, and products
FROM hundreds of companies all over the
country since the war. it can give anyone
a big thrill regarding what free, busy, and
inspired people can do for progress.

CONCERNS WORLDS NAvIEs

The presence of "a large submarine
force in any other country" presents a
menace to British lines of communication
according to an Admiralty official, who
reports to the House of Commons that the
British Navy is turning its energies toward
the development of measures to counter
the menace of radically improved sub
marines in any future war.
One anti-submarine weapon is the
''homing' torpedo, which, it is explained,
would ''nose OUT enemy submarines, set
its own course and proceed toward the
underwater craft Aircraft are also being
equipped to detect and destroy submar-
ines in connection with carrier operations.
Recent developments in the United
States indicate that our defense officials
are inclined to pursue the same course.
Special emphasis is being laid upon mea-
sures to blunt the submarines peril in the
event of another war. While the menace
to this country is not as great as to the
British Isles, where all ocean-borne traffic
must converge, in a restricted area, an
effective submarine campaign could SER
iously interfere with our efforts to trans
port men and material across the sea
lanes.
In the world wars of this country in
which the United States has engaged, the
submarine has presented direful threat
to the successful execution of our camp
aigns. AS each war began, this country
was woefully without means to safe
guard its shipping and, before adequate
measures could be developed, the enemy
managed to take a terrific toll of Amer
lean and Allied shipping Obviously, it
would be good thing for us to be ready
to meet such an attack in the event of an
other war
1t appears that surface shipping, in
future conflicts, will not only meet the
menace of highly-improved submarine,
but the ships that carry the commerce of
the globe will have to face accelerated
aerial attacks. We presume that this
country, through its Air Force, is taking
steps to develop adequate defenses against
the bombs, which, according to the air
men, will sink anything afloat
No one should overlook the impor-
lance of sea control. The history of our
past wars, and most of the wars between
nations separated by water, illustrates that
control ofsthe sea lanes is an essential to
victory. This will continue to be true SO
long as the freight of the world has to be
transported in surface ships. Obviously,
if the essentials of a winning war must
travel by ship, there must be safety for
the ships that carry the vital cargoes.
We trust that the emphasis on anti
submarine warfare and upon air weapons
will not lead to carelessness of surface de-
Tense forces, which, in the past, have per-
formed rather we'll
