DRI Bes R00 WOT SORE i essential iw 2 Uae amends = the restrction on consumer goods, together with the enormous ‘POSTWAR MARKET What will happen’ to business after the war? That aves tion, naturally is being carefully pondered these days by. business executives of all sorts—-whether thev be engaged in production, firancine. merch other many functions of modern industry. At the ovteet of the wer, the notular idea seerned-to be ; . . . 1 that nothine but depressien could fallow the terrible dislocandisine, advertising, of any 0: ENS a tion of worldwide conflict. Recently, however. an increasing number of realistic students of economic matters are coming to the view that a great new day of general’and well distributed prosperity will dawn with the peace that follows this war. One clear and concise analysis along this line was made recently by a high placed Westinghouse executive, Bonnell . W. Clark, who put it like this: The present concentration on armament production, and increase in purchasing power, are creating a strong vacuum which can only be satisfied by post-war production, sale and distribution of needed consumer articles. Payrolls will therefore be kept large and constant, and in turn they will be invested in goods. A new mass market is being formed. which can only be satisfied with mass production on a larger scale than before. On obvious corollary is that manufacturers who now are doing only one job—producing the todls of war—and hav« only one customer—the government—must keep the lifeblood of business flowing through advertising. They cannot afford to let the people forget or ignore the industrial and merchandising organizations which are in evistence now, but which are temporarily being put on the shelf because of civilian curtailment in the war. These are the organizations that can and must bridge the transition between wartime and peacetime economy, and if: they should fail to do it, then the dark picture that many economists thought they saw at the outbreak of the war might yet become reality. So advertising today is not so much a sales service, or a means of persuading the public to buy a product now, as it is a far-sighted and constructive means of maintaining this bridge’ from an artificial wartime prosperity to a genuine civiliar prosperity in the period that follows. 5. was ay : "JUST WONDERIN’ ~° ® T wonder about Ham and Eggs—. I thought the thing was down and out, But now it’s cooking up again, Of that there is no shade of doubt; And as its leaders strive once more To get the tax payers in a jam, I ask in all sercerity, Which is the Egg and which the Ham? I wonder at the remarkable powers of recrudescence displayed by that political ignis fatuus, Ham and Eggs.’ Blown aiway by the strong winds of reason, it comes flitting back at stated intervals of time, to be loudly acclaimed by those who are seemingly seeking self aggrandizement at the expense of too too, credulous voters. To those voters one can only say,— **Beware!”’ Certain proponents of the Ham and Eggs fantasy may succeed in get-’ ting their names upon the November ballot. If they do, ‘it is to be hoped that they will be overwhelmingly defeated that California can thankfully say, ‘thank God, an’ there’s an’ end o’ that.” For one thing we may be grateful, that is I hope we may, the single tax will be a dead issue and no will be talking of, “unearned increment,”’ for some time to come. j I wonder if there are any strict rules and regulations governing the er mii” ‘ rights and privileges of free speech. There should be, for many times free speech degenerates into free screech and becomes annoying. Words are protent for good or ill—perhaps more so now than at any previous period of world history and loyal Americans, even those in high places, will place a guard upon their lips. Idle words are better left unspoken. After all, England will deal with the Indian situation and military experts will determine the time and place flor the opening of a second front. Of course, we have opinions and are at liberty to express them, but let us take care that our words are not following the pattern of German propaganda, that they do not offend the allies who are fighting with us and that they do not make sweet music in the ears of Adolph Schicklegruber. : I wonder if Hitler’s boasted invincibility hasn’t been pretty thoroughly debunked. Certainly, he is still “going strong.”” hut no stupid pevson is invincible and Hitler is a man of collossal stupidities. From his first apbsurd assumptions of racial superiority—claims at which the most amateurish anthropologists laughed in derision, down to the present time he has been guilty_of one folly after another. Stupidly he commits, or causes to be committed unspeakable atrocities in the expectation of winning adherents to his new order, and now with equal stupidity he attacks Brazil. Surely Schicklegruber does not need another enemy, but he has made one and of course he will stupidly make others. Some day his teniple of hatred will crash down upon. him and history will brand him as the most foolish fool of this or any other age. Uncle Silas says; “One good thing about these political campaigns, when they are over, we realize what a number of men of ‘outstanding ability and integrity’ we are blessed with.”—-A.Merriam Conner.

Leete, Jr. Here's an islander Who arrived here just the other day An unwilling stowaway—Tatoa, Whose homeland is in sweet Samoa, Was_counting cargo, fell asleep, ‘And woke. upon the briny deep. He says in Pago Pago there, The men are tsrong, the lasses fair. The blackout can’t shut off the moon, That sparkles bright on sofe lagoon. When he’ll get home, he doesn’t know, But as soon as possible, ulans to go, He wanted, once, to see the world— The flags of many lands unfurled. Rui this bright brown youth of eighteen years, Doesn't care for strangers ways and fears, As a matter of fact, this Samoan lad, Has got homesickness—got it bad. He’s arranged to sail on an early ship, And, as sailor, make that homeward trip. He’ll earn his way, though long, it be And greet his family, well and strong. He longs to feel the tropic sun, And have his lonely visit done. He longs to sit ‘neath tropic palms, Far away from talk of war and bombs. Samoa, he, says, isn’t much aware-— Of the war—for things are peaceful there. Though since December, white warriors have come, And changed the island’s feelings some. The islanders love to bask and swim, And the western spirit, quick and grim, . Makes little impression on native folk, Though they hate and fear the Nipponese yoke. But Tatoa is happy, now he has planned, A quick return to a sunnier land. We hope his ship meets no barrage, To Tatoa of Samoa—a bon voyage! Leaves For Canada— Theodore Kohler, Jr., who Tuesday was elected as public administrator of Nevada County, left Saturday for a vacation trip through the Pacifie Northwest and in Canada. ELMA HECKER Sr Veet: THEY FEED THE FURNACES of WAR Natural Gas Workers Fight, too, for Victory W HEN PEARL HARBOR plunged the United States into war, this utility company was prepared. No mobilization orders were necessary. Our men, already working at full capacity, were ready. And among these non-military forces, trained by years of experience, one mighty important division is composed of the Gas Workers. They are men from many skilled crafts— engineers, chemists, gas technicians, compressor operators, pipe fitters and layers, trench machine drivers. Their job is a big one. They must maintain a system of thousands of miles of transmission and distribution pipe lines, through which natural gas from the oil and gas fields of Central and Northern California is carried. They must deliver a constant flow of gas to the war plants in this extensive territory ——to the steel furnaces, the shipyards, the cement plants, the shops and factories where
production requires efficient heat. Millions of cubic feet also must be supplied for the making of metallic magnesium. At the same time, the Gas Workers must maintain service to the cooking ranges and the heaters of 600,000 homes and supply the other fuel ~ needs of some 3,000,000 people. They are doing all this, laboring day and night, worthily carrying their share of the fight for Victory.
