THURSDAY, FEB. 29, 1942 ow The United States Employ; ment Service Aids War Industries Industrial plants throughout the United tates have begun the process of retooling nd retraining workers for wartime pro- uction. Much of the ground w'ork in con verting plants from peace time occupations '•o military uses is being done by the United states Employment Service. Occupational analysts of the Employ ment Service help employers, whose plants ire to be converted, by studying the work ,0 be done and the types and numbers of jobs that will be involved. An analyst may und that the employer’s labor force in- iludes persons who need only a short train- ng course to do the new w'ork, and he ad vises the employer to solve his job problem ,)y transferring some of these workers from heir regular work to defense jobs. If additional workers from outside are eeded the employment office is asked to btain them. If there is a shortage of the |jarticular type of worker required for the ob, the Employment Service helps to find orkers with related or adaptable skdls. lYhen necessary, the employment office rranges for referral of workers to free ocational training courses, elieved is to break down the component elieved is to break dow nthe component lements of a skilled job, so that some of he work can be taken over by less skilled ^fallowing the skilled worker to devote iis entire time to the most complex pro- I'esses. America's industries are taking their I,laces in the battle line of production. One 3mpany which used to make electric re- Hgerators today turns out 75-millimeter iowitzers. Another company which used ) manufacture typewriters is producing irts for machine guns. Guns are being kade by a firm which formerly made rinting presses. A sparkplug manufac- mer is making machine guns, and a cut- Jjfrry company is turning out cartridge clips iK plate of knives of forks. Tanks are tilling off the assembly lines. Garment ' orkers are making parachutes, and farm l ands are turning out munitions in plants located in rural areas. Every worker who is unemployed, or j|ho has a defense skill which he is not iw using, ohould register with his nearest S. Employment office. Likewise, every Jnployer with a job opening to fill, wheth- in defense or non-defense industry, liould call upon his local employment of- :e to aid in filling that job. The Em- loyment Service office, located at North /ilkesboro is your community agency—it doing its share t© keep America safe! -lome Economics In War Time “Home economics” used to be a course .at a few' women took in high school or allege. Today, with half of our national come about to be devoted to the needs of ar, home economics must play a role in e life of every family in the land. We are just beginning to feel the war nch. Prices of many articles have gone and will undoubtedly go higher still. )mmodities that used to be cheap and lundant, have grown scarce or have dis- peared entirely. New' and strict priori- orders will make it necessary for the nsoiner to go without many articles once were almost as common as air. Home economics simply means scientific mg for the household. It means mak- each dollar do its full duty in purchas- food, clothing, household effects or g else. Today, in thousands of it is the housewife’s most difficult em. Foitunately, she has one excel- ally to help solve that problem—^the stores of this country, res have been particularly active in to advise and aid tne consume*. The result.It that the retail somethins more than a place where jfoii shop for what you need. It is also the place where trained, informed men will aid you in making necessary readjustments in yOtir living. The stores are pledged to' furnish the public with supplies at the lowest possible cost. They are advising consumers on the use of substitutes.

There fore," it is imperative that present tires be conserved—saved—as much as possible. It is a known fact that high speeds wear tires rapidly. Tires on an automobile driven not over 40 miles per hour, if not abused, will give many more thousands of miles service than tires on cars driven up to 60, 70 and 80 miles per hour. Thteefore, it would seem advisable that during the emergency the law making au thorities should take from us the liberty to destroy our tires by fast driving. i Several propositions have been made re lative to a speed law which would be uni form during the emergency and some have placed the maximum as low as 35 miles per hour. Believing that a maximum .so low would tend to breed disregard for the law, we think that there shbuld be a maxi mum of 45 or 50 miles per hour and let all law enforcement agencies make real ef forts to enforce it. A proceedure which would be far better than making a maxi mum so low that no one would pay any at tention to it. Relative to this subject. The Reidsville Review carried the following editorial: “Most states are now' co-operating in a. campaign which should have two-fold and equally desirable results. It is to cut down the speed of autos on the highways. “Connecticut has cut the sueed limit from 50 miles an hour to 40, and many others are ordering state and city drivers to “hold ’er down” to 35, 40, and 50 miles. People who burn up their tires at 60 and 70 miles an hour are uselessly destroying the national stock of rubber, and the fas ter a man burns up his tires, the louder he i.s apt to .squak for new ones. “Slower driving should have a second benefit—fewer accidents. People who never would take care of their own necks for their own sake are now' asking to do it for their country’s sake. Time lost through accidents, or lo.'-t forever through death, is lost to the defense of the country. Borrowed Comment A SUGAR SHORTAGE (Oxford Ledger) Despite repeated news reports of a shortage or an impending shortage of su gar supplies in this country, we find it dif ficult to believe that any such shortage can actually exist in this country. At least, we cannot believe that there can be any su gar shortage in the United States which could not be remedied by a temporary lift ing of the restrictions on imports from Cu ba and other sugar-producing countries in this hemisphere. It is readily conceivable, though, that American housewives might bring about a temporary shortage of sugar by allowing themselves to be stampeded into abnormal purchases of sugar to be hoarded by them against the prospect of sugarless days. The first rumors of an impending sugar short age sent many panicky persons scurrying to grocers to stock up. We know one citi zen who bought a five-pound bag of su gar from three different stores in one af- tenioon. We have no sugar shortage now, but this sort of thing could soon cause one. We all should keep our heads and re fuse to heed this wild rumor and that one. We have a hard enough job on our hands without creating troubles which do not ex ist. If a sugar shortage should develop, we can do with a little less sugar, as Eng land has done for many months with no apparent harmful effects, but meanwhile it is utterly foolish for panicky purchasers to deliberately bring about a shortage which might be avoided if everyone were to exercise reason and forebearance in the purchase and consumption of sugar. So Hitler wanted to be another Napol eon! Latest news from Russia'indicates he’s on the right track—homeward bound. - --y.-vc **11- Alines.
