New York won the ball game, but Casey won immortality on a strikeout. Dan Casey struck out for the final time a few days ago; death came to him ata time when baseball moguls were debating whether the war will blackout professional baseball during the 1943 season: when the ball clubs had just announced that they would play ball as long as each had nine men left able to trot ovt on a diamond. If the games does go on, it will probably be played by the old-timehs. many of them veterans who had hung up their gloves, but who are coming back to rerlace younger stars called into the service. Before the season is over, the biggect “strikeout” in baseball history—more momentous than even. the sad song of “Casey at the Bat’’—may occur. Organized baseball may fan out for the duration. Like the mighty Casey, it may strike out but it is too much a part of Amrica to ever die. The fans will still be yelling for homers long after Hotler and Hirchito are just bad memories. / : 48-HOUR WEEK Another notable illustration of the fact that the American people are often ahead of their government leaders in recognizing the need for changes in their way of life to’aid in putting the country on an ll-out war basis is brought sharnly into focus by President Roosevelt's recent action in establishing a 48-hour work week.While there may be sharp difference of opinion on that phase of the presidentia! order which preserves the right of workers to overtime pay for work in excess of 40 hours per week, there will be little or no public opposition to the length. ening of the work weelto 48 hours. To the man on the street, and the man in the field or the factory, it has been apparent for months past that it was foolhardy to attempt to wage total war on a 40-hour week basis, and the demand for a_ longer week has come from the people, not from Washington. Farmers, with no compulsion, other than their country’s need, have been working 60 and 70 and 80-hour weeks ever since the war began, and thousands of men in business and industry, ‘eae by problems which could not possibly be masaeanndatl or tered in a normal work week, have-been doin’ the same. Now that a beginning has been made in getting rid of some of the luxury labor standards of peace time which have crippled the wer effort, it is to be hoped that our leaders in Washington and Sacramento wil! go the rest of the way. in_ stripping for action. An immediate objective in California should be the suspension of the archaic Full Crew Law, which requires that six or seven brakemen be employed to do the work of two or three on freicht trains, with the result that trains are delayed in departure by lack of workmen—and vital shipments of war materials are delayed in reaching our fighting men. President Roosevelt, in preparing us for new changes to -ome, has warned that all of us on the home front must “‘adopt ‘or the duration a Spartan standard of living and take patristic pride in it.’’ The American people are ready for that; they iust want it fairly applied, with no exceptions. : VICTORY AT GUADALCANAL . ; Thete is n natural tendency on the part of our government and military leaders, in the wake of the victory at Guadalcanal, to warn against over-confidence and to emphasize that this is just a dent in the Jap armor, rather than a turning soint in the war. It is well that we should exercise restraint in evaluating our initial victories and that we should not repeat the mistakes of under-estimating our foe, as we did before the treacherous attack on Pear] Harbor. In actual fact, we have won only a:pin-point on the broad may of the Pacific—a dot of land with a flying field which we badly needed to protect our shipping lanes to Australia, and which will also serve as a valuable base in future attacks against the enemy. We paid a high price, in men and ships, for that little strip of land, but the significance of the victory is that it cost us far less to win it than it cost the Japs to lose it. We have taken a fierce toll of the Japs in our first two victories of the Pacific. at Guadalcanal Island and in New Guinea—atoll of 90.000 Japanese dead, 200 Nipponese ships sunk or damaged and 2,000 planes destroyed. In the southern Solomons alone, our military observers estimate that Japan lost 75,000 men, 150 ships and 1,000 planes, while the remainder of the losses were sustained in the New Guinea campaign, where MacArthur's troops wiped out the invasion force to the last man. : Our success in whittling down the Jap navy and merchant marine may have greater bearing on the outcome of the war than our possession of the narrow strips of land which were the focal points of the fighting. Similarly, the blow to Japanese military morale is a factor of major importance; the enemy knows now the mettle of American troops—and their '. costly retreat from Guadalcanal proves that far from being obsessed with a suicidal passion to die for the emperor, they know how to run when they are lickéd. Guadalcanal may not be a turning point in the war, but the Japs at least have had a forestaste of what is to come. And the evidence indicates that they don’t like it. “Could I borrow your suitcase?’’ Juvenile Delinquency “Why you didn’t return it the last On the Increase time you borrowed it.” “Now, what'll I do?

Schools in such cen+ Grass Fire Along Silva Ave. Threatens Homes The fire alarm yesterday at 4:10 p. m. was turned in by Policeman James Allen from the city hall who sounded the alarm for .Box 52 through the fire department transmitter at the city hall. The firemen responded and arrived ait the scene of the fire just in time to prevent serious spread of flames from a grass fire which was burning rapidly, con-; sidering the recent weather. It raged’ in the grass along Silva avenue on; the Randall and Haddy properties. . Just as the firemen arrived a barn . on the Randall property started to! fblaze and the Haddy house was be-, ing threatened. The property was located just outside of the city limits and the only water available was that carried in the tanks on the two fire trucks but this supply was suficient ‘to control the fire. Had the fire trucks arrived but a few minutes later serious damage might have re‘sulted. With reference to the turning in of false alarms, Fire Chief Steger ‘wishes to call attention not only to the fact that a heav penalty attaches ‘to such action but such practices un-. . necessarily endanger the lives of the firemen and others during the ansters are under unbelievable pressure, anf many little children and boys and girls are without adequate supervision or recreation. and drafting into the armed setvices of the staffs working with courts and probation departments, is leaving es there is a special emphasis upon the need for persons with at least one year’s graduate social work training.
