Tho War Production Drive in a movement by tho War Production ltoard to attain PrcHldcnt Roosevelt's goal of 45,000 tanks, 60,000 planes, 20,000 antlalr craft guns, and 8,000,000 tons of hD11>l>i?K during 15)42. | A method of doing this Is the voluntary establishment of joint labormanagement plant committees in over | 2,000 defense plants,, the sole purpose of the committees being to carry on I the production drive in the individual plants. The drive is not confined to workers in these 2.000 defonse plants but is rapidly spreading among all the wnr workers in America. Output jwill be increased through this drive j by the more efficient uso of machines, by the finding of now uses for old machines, and by bettering the morale and effort through a pattern permitting rocognation of individual and plant attainments. Tho Production Drive committee in each plant will adapt a general plan, which calls for a study of plant efficiency, erection of a production scoreboard, encouragement and study of suggestions, setting up bulletin boards and posters, conducting slogan contests, and using other methods to increase output, and recognizing achievements. Today, almost three months from Pearl Harbor, we are beginning to know something of the sacrifices and deprivations we on the home front will have to suffer as a contribution to our strategy against the Axis. Today we know what we shall have to do to win this war because we have already begun to do It. The past week has produced changes which are altering our whole lives, altering our work, our dress and our play; altering the way in whloh we eat, travel, and build; altering the equipment In our offices and the furnishings In our homes. The War Production board restricts the amount of steel which may go into beds and bedsprlngs and mattresses, ends altogether the production of metal household furniture, cut the output of razors and razor blades. Good! We know that steel In a tank these days Is a better guarantee of spund slumber on the home front than In the colled metal of a bedspring. We know the "why" of shortages, but we hope these shortages will not expose us to Inflated prices. It Is for that reason that the Office of Price Administrator last week fixed maximum retail prices for seven household appliances . . . refrigerators vacuum cleanerB. radios, phonographs,; washers, ironers, stoves. And price control, as a result, becomes for -he first time a matter of direct and personal Interest to millions of us. There will be less wool in wool blankets so that there will be more wool to keep our soldiers and sailors warm. APA suggests that families see what can bo done with needle and thread before buying clothes. Produc-i tion of portable lamps and shades has been cut. Enamel and shellac are needed for military purposes and their use by civilians will be cut. Shoe manufacturers have been ordered to use less leather In making civilian shoes, and farmers planning ? record spring plantings are being protected against excessive fertilizer costs. The, WPB has suggested that the baking Industry reduce operating costs In j order to prevent a rise In price. Thd amount of honey used in such manu- j I factured products as ice cream, oandy.J soft drinks, bakery goods and me-, dicine3 has been limited. Retailer s of men's and boy's clothing have been urged to save wool clippings from the ends of men's trousers ?where the cuff would be. A thought for this week is War Production Board chairman Donald M. Nelson's statement; "We're all in this war together and if any of us lose our freedom, all of us lose it. , The number of men 45 to 64 years old, who will haT L.to jreglster with their local Selective Serroce board on April 27, Is eetlmated at 18,589,800 for the United 8tates, Director J.

It, therefore, gives me pleasure and confidence to have Mr. Wise as my right hand man in this great undertaking in which all American citizens will have an opportunity to participate," said the governor. The 8herlff Gets HI* Man After nearly seven years of vigilence, Sheriff Douglass was rewarded the other day by locking Otis Horn, colored, In the county Jail. In the fall of 1935, Horn was arrested on charge of killing Tim Hlldreth, a white man near Guess. Horn's bond was placed at $1,000, which he posted and then lit out for parts unknown. A few weeks ago long arm of the sheriff found his quarry in West Virginia. After some delay in securing extradition papers, Deputy Sheriff Wade King went to West Virginia and returned with the prisoner. He now awaits action in the next term of court of general sessions.?

Little. And at the mike to give the play by play account of the game will be none other than Ralph Waldo Emerson Chaso. In as much as there is no ball game this coming s Sunday, the fans will turn oilt for the polo program in great numbers. Beckham Russell, head of the city traffic force, is anticipating a big lnflue 'of traffic without delay or inconvenience to the motorists. The polo fans who witnessed the game last Sunday are still talking about the fine scoring record mads by Harrison. Of the 12 points made by the Ramblers in their 12 to 7 rout of the 102nd Cavalry team, Harrison scored six. In addition he scored a point for the troopers when In attempting to clear the willow from in front of the Rambler goal, the ball was deflected and went over for a score for the opposition. The Troopers actually made but four points in that hectic game as ' they were given IwoT goals as a handicap allowance and Harrison added a third. The game Sunday will start at the usual hour of 3;SO and there will be the usual repartee between Ancrum Boykln, Sr., and announcer Ralph Chase.

Jen. Holmes It. Springs, state Selecl\e Service director, said today. In addition, Genorul Springs said hat a special clerk would he provld d In each local hoartl for the express imrpose of assisting those rog 1st rats who are unable to secure aid from iheir employers or in counties where iio state employment off loom are located. General Springs pointed out that members of the advisory boards for registrants would be busy assisting those men who registered on February 16 in tilling out their classlllcatlon questionnaires and to call on members of those groups for assistanco would work a hardship on the personnel. Orders have been received from Washington directing the local hoards to proceed with the classification of those registering on February 16 as rapidly as possible, the general said. Those* receiving the occupational questionnaire, which will provide a census of the nation's Industrial manpower, are particularly requested not to ask assistance of the local board personnel In the state since, In addition to the duties connected with the classification questionnaire, all plans must be completbd for the registration, on April 27, of all men between the ages of 44 and 66, in addition to the routine work carried on dally. "The members of the state's local boards are doing an excellent job," General Springs said. "They are, in many cases, giving more time to the Selective Service system than they are giving to their own Interests? and without thought of salary or any type of remuneration. To call on them for additional sacrifices at this time, despite their patriotic desire to do as much as they can in our war effort, would be an Imposition. The advice of the employers of the men or of officials of the state employment service should be sought and, I am sure, will be willingly given."

I nin not it pessimist, hut at llio sumo time? I have never been pointed out as a down-light optimist. Ah I lutvo never been a bankrupt, It Is possible that my pessimism saved UVO" from going through this ordeal, I have been on l he verge several times, but my creditors were evidently patient with me and they got theirs, plus Interest. Hut I started out to write abput totfflfy is the faet that 1 said yesterday, while talking to a bunch of folks who didn't know any more about the future than I did. wo are on our way to living conditions sine llur to those that obtained between 1890 and 1905, except we haven't got Q any trains to>ride on now. -r-Within the next few months .... there will probably 1)0 more money floating around than floated around 1890-1805, but like that period-there won't be much to buy. Wo will have plenty of tho same kind of food wo enjoyed 1890-1905, uml we will have clothes that will ''kivver" our nudonosB, but some of the younger generation will dnd out that tho flowery bod of easo has turned out to be a rough _ rostlng place. ?Wo are going to learn how to walk. Wo are going to think more of our neighbors. We won't have to worry about keeping up with the Joneses, as we will be 2 by 4 Joneses ourselves. We will make frequent contact with cornbread, buttermilk (if possible) and patched britches. We will relish roasted potatoes and coarse foods will become a delicacy. We will have more time to think and more time to work. We are going to win this war by toiling and saving and scrimping, and? If organised labor will do Its part, there Is no question about victory for the Allies. I am not worried about the final result If we can keep selfishness and greed and Quislings and traltorB away from our war efforts. m a LET'S BE PAIR _ ?Let's stop this growling and grumbling and get down to business. Many of us never offer any constructive Ideas or co-operative criticism. We aro satisfied to accuBo and abuse the men in power. We can't tell them how to do any better than they are doing, but we at least can howl and growl. ?Hitler doesn't want anything better than to have us rfifmke and disagree with constituted authority. It must tickle him a great deal to receive dally information that we are not satisfied with our president, that we don't think labor Is -loyalr.and...we : know our congressmen are at least crooked or badly bent. (That helps . him more than anything else). ?Folks, handling this war is the biggest Job that ever confronted our na* tlou. Do you and I think we are able to tell anybody how to do a single, solitary thing about what moves to make, what strategy to formulate? No, wedonTltnowlialT wTfSt we' are talking about. We Just want to raise the dickens because it looks "Iffio we are getting the lard beat out of us, and we are at the time this piece is being written. In other words, we can't take it. (Let's keep quiet for 12 months, and then if things are not OK, we'll Join you). ?About 2 dozen men In congress and the senate have apparently hindered the U. 8. In its efforts to prepare for war and defense. Most of these great < f) men were not interested In helping their country: they simply didn't like* Pres. Roosevelt, or Mrs, Roosevelt, or Mr. Stimson, or Mr. Some* body Else, and they let-tiieir- narreet ness and^ prejudiced minds run away . with tfcfelr common sense. Let's forget them now. (Loyalty that has to be bought with money ain't mnch). ' ?Let's stop finding fault with labor: we can't help much by telling congress what to do ... If labor is not < loyal, it won't be any more loyal when | you get through cussing R. We have agreements with labor: let'a.dM^. | such agreements out. Only about B per cent of labor is unfair: . Of It Is OK, Unless you can tell o?r ^constituted authority how to do things s more quickly, much better, and some cheaper, Just keep your mouth shut ' and do your part.
