To Insure an expanded supply

cooperated on setting up a youth-

ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE
Having qualified as Administra-
zer cf the estate of W. P. Wyatt,'
faceased, late of Wilkes County,
iSorth Carolina, this is to notify all
persons having claims against the
zstate of said deceased to exhibit
same to the undersignned at North
Wilkesboro, North Carolina, on oi
iefore the 22nd day of August

indebted to said estate will
and where there is already a
supply of surplus labor available.
As these plants expand their ac
tivities a steady supply of mater
ials must reach them, be proee.ss-
ed, and flow smoothly along to
the shell-loading plants, out the
other end, and on to the man
who feeds them into the gun.
This calls for tight coordina
tion all along the line, not for to
day or tomorrow, but looking a-
head into next year, so that eve
ry time that Joe Smith, of Bat
tery X, Field Artillery, reaches
tor a shell he will find one of
the right kind, ready to he stuff
ed into his gun. That means an
unbroken, unclogged. smooth
flowing production line running
from the gun back through the
plants to the iron and coal mines
-4nd that is the job of the Defense
Advisory Commission.
UeHling the .Artillery
Since the men at the guns al
most never see their targets, the
control of field artillery is con
ducted from observation posts
connected with the batteries by
radio or telephone. At the posts,
rapid computations are made for
aiming the gun,' and fire is ad
justed to hit enemy targets. In
order to see that the shells have
the proper name and address of
ihe enemy requires uncannily ac
curate fire-control instruments.
This was a troublesome product
in the last war. We ju.st dMn’t
have the supplies of optical glass
for range finders and similar in
struments. The Defense Advisory
Commission has already found
that new sources in the United
States, with increased plant ca
pacity already under way, will
give an adequate supply.
