Chairman Clarence Davis asked each member of the committee to curtail excessive use of water used in the cooling processes, particularly with the calendar machine. Loss of time must be held to a minimum. Every effort is to be exerted to eliminate down time as suggested by Williams. The committee is looking for the small items which repeated over and over can amount to large costs if not eliminated. Little drips of water over a period of time can amount to con siderable cost. A few minutes of time wasted each day will amount to hours in the course of a year.

Rip up 14 of every 15 miles of its paved highways. Destroy 2 of every 3 miles of its railroads. Junk 19 of eyery 20 of its cars and trucks. Slash all pay checks by three-fourths. Transfer 60 million Americans back - 5 to farms. Destroy 40 million television sets. Rip out 9 of every 10 telephones. Tear down 7 of every 10 houses that now stand. In America, there are about 370 square feet of housing for every man, woman, and child—in Russia, the figure is about 79 square feet. In hours of labor, a Russian pays about 13 times as much for a suit of clothes, 30 times as much for a pair of shoes, 3 times as much for bread, and 6 times as much for milk. It would seem that, in spite of Russia's "economic miracle," the U. S. is still comfortably ahead. Are you over 65 and still working? Working or not--you may be eligible for some social security benefits. Have you checked recently at your social se curity office ?
