NOW AIN’T IT HELL7
"Ain't It HetlT They cahT get tea-bone steaks! The
cops bother-Ahepi about gas' for vacation and football trips!
They’re plum out of chewing gumi Liquor's short! 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.

Women Driving
Streamline Buses
Now that bundrede of women have
proven ^entirely capable of driving
buses on the West (Toast and In other
war production areas, the National
Association of Motor Bus operators re
ports that major lines in all parts of
the country are hiring women to
pilot the highway- ’streamliners.
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.

war service and that the air lines have
ortly about half as many planes M
they once operated.
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. I
Postmaster DuBose observed that
his warning is not an attem^ to tell
