The nearest general substitutes, such a steam and electric railways buses and air plans. bicycles and boats, do splendidly spec ialized transportation jobs in their respec tive si keros. None, however, can go any where and come back at any time like tin automobile. Millions of Americans, especially on farms and in small communities, suburban developments and remote industrial and de fense plants, have no mans of transportation but the motor car. Then.1 are 27 million owners of private automobiles in the United States and every one of them uses his or her car in part, at least !'• ir necessity driving. Here are son 1 of the ton most !)■ zsity uses: 1. (L; rge 1 transit service- The necessity driving of he nation by motor car nYilion passenger miles annually. This is np pr i • 3 1-2 time- the passenger mil cage of all other types of transportation. 2.

I. (City uses1 Six out of every ten cars owned in the cities ai'e usually driven to and from work. r». (Defense plants) Many new defense plants are being built in remote sections which have no public transportation. Mil lions of defense workers must depend on au tomobiles for transit. 6. (Suburban uses) Relieving that motor car transportation always would be availa ble, thousands of persons have bought homes in recent years away from electric raihvac and bus lines. The 1940 Census shows thai in 82 of the largest cities of the country since 1930, the unincorporated surroundiu areas increased almost five times as rapidly as the population within the city limits These persons must have automobiles. 7.

Nelson Priorities Director, announced the reniova1 of all production restrictions on truck-ti; , ers. he gave as the reason: “The division oi civilian supply recognized that such trailer, provide the most economical form of com mercial highway transportation, both the standpoint of cost and metals consum ed.” It is obvious that we, as a country, can no longer tolerate anything which hamper and restrict; an all out for Victory. We ar jToiiur on 11 24 hour day and a i day wock produce everything it takes to supply our Army, our Navy and the important support ing forces behind the lines, t is not unrea sonable to expect that an avalanche of pub lic demand spirred on by real military nec essity will sweep aside all artificial bail ids to production. What does this mean to transportation particularlv highway transportation” It means that unwise restrictions here will not be tolerated any more than they would b [on the assembly line of a vital manufaetur-1 ! ing plant. Transportation is an essential part I of production. There can be no production without transportation because raw and un | finished materials and parts must How in. finished product , must t'iow out. The high way is merely a part of the conveyor system along tho assembly line. While the removal of production restric tions on truck trailers is a great step tm ward it is even more important to have the-o truck trailers and their vital cargoes rolling .over thc> highways than it is to blild them. Now is the time to eliminate all official re strictions to the free flow of highway trans 1 D-'rtation. If we are going to have all out production for Victory, all out transpoita tion is logical and should go along with u. o irr IL.fl.r3. jL ‘41 Ll ASK RAID ur\:> vni) keep rnis IM PORTANT MiTIt I.E IT M Y SAVE YOUR LIFE 1. KEEP COOL-Above all, keep cool. Don't lose your head. Do not crowd the streets; avoid chat prevent disorder and havoc. Y'ou can fool the enemy. It is easy. If planes come over stay where you are. Don’t phone un nec-.-s-ni ,Iy. The chance you will be hit is small. It is part of the risk v li "-t take to w n this war. Until s ■ alarm, go about your usual business ami recreation in ti.eordinary way. Think twi’e before you do any thing. Don’t believe rumors — spreading false rumors is part of the r tiny’s technique. Don't let him take you in. Know your air raid warning. Ti general, it is short blasts or ris ing and falling pitch, on whistles or horns. The "all clear” is a steady tone for 2 minutes. Waten this paper for description of the local signal. (This is subject to charge.) Await of icial information be fore taking any action. When tin Air Raid Warden comes to yo; r home, do what he tells you. He for your protection. He is your friend. He will help you do your part to whip the enemy. We can do it. We will do it, if we stay calm and cool and strong and alert. 2. STAY HOME - The safest place in an air raid is at home. If you are away from home, get under cover in the nearest shelft-i. Avoid crowded places. Stay off the streets. The enemy wants you to run out into tne streets, create a mob, start a picnic Don't do it. If incendiary bombs fall, play a spray rrom a garden hose (never a splash or stream) of water on the bomb. Switch to a stream to put out any fire started by the ' omb. Switch back to a spray for the bomb. The bomb will burn for about 15 minutes if left alone, on ly about 2 minutes under a fine water spray. A jet splash, stream or bucket of water will make :t explode. Under raid conditions, keep a bathtub and buckets full of water for the use of the fire departne--: in case water mains are broken. if you have a soda and ae d ■ x tingu labor (the kind you turn up side down), use it with your find er over the nozzle to make a spray Don't use the chemical kind (small cylinders of liquid) on bombs. It is all right for ordinary fires. j But above all, keep cool, -.tay home. Choose one member of the fam ily to be the home air-warden who will remember all the rules and what to do. Mother makes the best. 0. PUT OUT LIGHTS—Wlietner I or not black-out is ordered, dont : show more light than is necessary. ' If planes come over, put out or | -over all lights at once-- dont ! wait for the black out order. The j fight that cant be seen will never I guide a Jap. Remember a candle light may he seen for miles from the air. Ii' you have portieres or curtams arrange a double thickness over j your windows. Blankets will do. If you have heavy black paper, paste it on your windows. Don’t I crowd or stampede stores to get ! it, however. You probably have i everything you need at home. Be . ingenious—improvise. | Should you get an air raid warn 1 ing, remember to shut off gas stoves, gas furnaces and gas pilot lights on both. Bomb explosions may blow them out from blast ef fect. Gas that collects may bo explosive latea. Prepare one room, the one with least window glass in the strong est part of your house, for a r ■( uge room. Put food and drinking water in it. Put a sturdy table in it. Put mattresses and chairs in it. Take a magazine or two, and a deck of cards, into it. Take things like eyeglasses and demot es with you when you go into it. Take toilet facilities, paper, a screen. I!’ you have a portable ra dio, take that too. Above all, keep calm. Stay at home. Put out lights. 4. LIE DOWN—If bombs start to fall near you, be down. You will feel that blast least that way. escape fragments or splinters. The safest place is under a good stout table—the stronger the legs the better. A mattress under a table com* H (■■■••. comfort with safety. The enemy may use exnLwe bombs or incendiary bombs, i r both. If incendiaries are used, it’s more important to deal with tn n than to he safe from blast. So de feat the incendiary with a spray (never splash or stream! op wa ter. then go back to safety under a table in a refuge room. Most raids will likely be over in your immediate neighborhood iit a short time. However stay under cover till the “all clear” is sound ed. Know your raid alarms. Knew the all clear. Official news of tlmse w'll come to you from your Air Raid Warden. Don't believe tum ors. Watch this paper for air raid alarm description. Ask the warden when he comes. Should your house be hit. Lent cool. Answer tappings from rescue crews if you are trapped. (You most likely won’t be either hit or trapped, but if you are, you cun depend on rescue squads to go af ter youl. Again—keep . cool, and wait. Don’t yell after you hear then; coming to you. unless they tell you to. Keep cool! Just keeping cool hurts the en emy more than anything else you can do. Keep calm, Stay at horn;.; Put out lights. Lie down. 5. STAY AWAY FROM WIN DOWS—Glass shatters easily, so stay away from windows. Don’t go to windows and look out, in an air raid. It is dangerous thing, and helps the enemy. The 1 'I r J8 ±£Lw A !• Cl & A GLAMOROUS GIFT for a glamorous star.

At night, there is danger of be ing- caught in blast from explos ives. Antiaircraft fire means falling s' rapel. You are safe from it in doors. away from windows. Do not say—we are repeating; we would rather repeat until we bore you than hfive you orget, Stay in your refuge room away from window-. That is the safest plane. Go there at the first alarm; stay there until the all clear. Above all, ke p calm. Stay home. I’ut out lights. Lie down. Stay a way from windows. You can do all those things with out any special equipment, other than what you have now in your home. You can help lick the Japs with your- bare hands, if you will do just those few, simple things. Be a good fellow and follow in str ictions and keep well. Do not be a wise guy and get hurt. ti. YOU CAN HELP - Strong, capable, calm people are needed to man the volunteer services. If ym want to help, there are losts of op portunities. If you know first aid, and have a certi irate, there is an immediate job I'm- you. If '-ou are a veeran, r a former vo*. t or regular i . man, 01 policeman, there is orl; for you. If you have no spe cial skills but are strong aid husky, there is a job for you in rescue squads, road-repair units, or demolition and clearance squads. If you have and c-an drive » ,,ur. you may be needed for drivers' corps. Older Boy and Girl Scouts over la can help as messengers. Both men and women are needed. Here's how to get started: If there’s a Civilian Defense Yolm t -cr Office in your communi ty, call there and ask where to re port, I not. call your local Defen se Council or Committee, or the Chamber of Commerce. Phone and ask where to report, rather than going in person. THERE ARE PEOPLE NEEDED FOR_ Air raid wardens (men and v om en). Auxiliary Firemen, (men) Auxiliary Police (men and wom en).
