John L. says some of his miners g“et only six bucks a day while ship builders get ten or fifteen. Ain’t it Hell?" . (} That paragraph is part of the report of a war correspon dent who quotes the comment of one of our brave and gallant American soldiers who is in the thick of the fighting inv Europe. . — It sure is tough the way we folks in the homeland have to skimp and deny in the effort to abide by restrictions placed by our government upon useful and essential commodities. It certainly is—embarrassing to have onr usual formal way of life interfered with. Sure, we’re all sick 6f it. If you don’t think so, just listen to the gripes. - - Sure, we’re fed up on it, but perhaps if a lot of us who belly-ache because they can’t get choice cuts of meat, because they can’t take long motor jaunts, etc., were to picture what is happening to a lot Of boys we used to see every day on cur streets and who are down there where the going is tough, we might suffer a complete recovery from that gripe and grouch illness. . Yes, folks, our boys, yours and mine, are over there on the fighting lines. They are in the jungles battling Jap barians, poisonous reptiles and insects, suffering torments of the damned because of the -awful heat. They are up in the Aleutians suffering from the cold, they are in the air facing death from opposing guns, death, the horrors of which baffle description. 'They are op^the firing line of our onrushing forces ia Italy, on the decks, and in the gun turrents of our ships of war, they are underseas in submarines. Where are we? We’re here at home, safe, secure and sheltered. No dangerous planes hover over us. No invading barbarians menace us. Why, we’re here where*.we can eat, drink and be merry. We are here where we can^walk into the movie-; where we can eat steak and chicken dinners, go to balls, parties and the like. And yet there are thousands of us who have the gall, the unmitigated crust to complain—to criticise. Weekly News Letter RriHn IJlkrty ' 1 On Sunday" Urdmlns Elder W. B.

The manpower shortage is bringing about the Innovation even though men bus drivers are classed as essential workers because of their importance to the nation's wartime transpoi'ta- tlon nee^s. However, in replacing men who hav^e entered the armed serv ices, the bus companies are making certain that the public won’t apply the epithet of “that woman driver!” to any of the new operators. What’s more important, the enviable safety records of the industry must be main tained. Women drivers already employed are handling the shorter inter-city routes. They were selected from thousands of applicants through rigid examinations for physical fltneia, driving '’qualificati’one, mental alert ness, neatness and courtesy. Similar standards are being set up by all inter city bus llnee, the associatioiii reports, Before donning trim uniforms and taking up their war-essential work, the successful applicants are given in tensive courses in actual bus driving by experienced driver-instructors. Because the intercity bus Industry was not in existence during the last war when similar manpower shortage probleme were encountered, the em ployment of women drivers is really a new development and one that the operators ftCCepted wlih some mis givings. The public has volc'ed no ob jections probably because riders are glad to have the bus coine along, no matter whether a man or a woman Is at the wheel; The very few criticisms received come, oddly enough, from other women who seem to resent that one of their sex has qualified for th« Job.

More than two hundred thousand extra temporary employeM normally are employed to help with the holiday postal rush. This year, the extra em- ployees will be largely women and ^ high school boys and girls who are uiuible to work the Ipng hours usually “ required and whose work will be rela tively slow. To deliver the Christmas malls on time, therefore, It Is necessary that mailings be spread out over a longer period so that available transporta tion equipment and postal personnel can be used during more weeks. It will be utterly impossible to make the d^iveries by Christmas —if mailers wait until the last three weeks before the holiday, as in normal years. i There is* another reason for shop ping and mailing earlier than ever before. Retail stores are short-hand ed. Purchasers can avoid shopping in crowded storee, long waits for serv ice, and other inconveniences, of late shopping If they buy now. They will also doubtless have a better choice of merchandise than will be available later.
