OUR SERVICE BOARD
It seems that our “Service Board’’ for some reason or an
other has been forgotten. It has been placed in the Bandstand,
which is an ideal place for protection from the weather, but at
the same time it is hidden. We believe this board, should be
placed in some nice spot near the sidewalk with lights placed at
each end in order to be re^d at night as well as in the day. it
could be made a thing of beauty and something Cherryville
would he proud to have.
Perhaps a white picket fence could be built around it, low
in the front and higher in the back with blooming flowers on the
inside, or could be glassed and kept mowed, anyway it need to
be brought out into the limelight.
We would like to see some organization make some move to
do something about it and at the same time it must be remem
bered to keep it pretty, it must have constant care. Of all thing!
we want to see it lit up in order for the gold stars to those who
have made the supreme sacrifice, can be seen. They died that
freedom and liberty can prevail throughout the world once more.
BRIGHTER DOLLARS
THE suggestion has recently been made that one dollar, five
dollar and ten dollar bills be printed in different colors—
say green, orange and brown.
This seems to us to be a sensible idea. It would make it
easier for stores, movie houses, etc., to make change. It
would make it easier for merchants and banks to count and
check their money.
As we enter the “Age of Prosperity’’ it seems fitting that
we start it off with gay-colored bills—bills that bespeak the
spirit of better times. The only excepion we suggest is that
government payments for "unemployment insurance’’ and “re
lief" be made in drab, mournful-colored money—a kind of
money that expresses the sense of shame which our country
should feel over having, once again, to sponsor a dole.
10,000,000 UNEMPLOYED JAPS
RECENTLY we read an analysis of conditions in Japan in
which it was stated that Japanese industry is ruined—that
there are no industries, no raw materials and no shipping facil
ities. Painting a gruesome picture of conditions in that defeat
ed country, the reporter from Tokyo concluded “Japan will have
10,000,000 unemployed persons to care for by the end of the
year.”
That figure stopped us, for it was a familiar one. "10,000,
000 unemployed by Christmas” was the way we heard it first—
but that was in reference to the immediate future of our own
country.
Here the Japanese have no industry and our In
dustrie* are booming at they never boomed before
—yet tome Washington pessimists or propagandists
are willing to predict that our plight, so far as unem
ployment is concerned, will be about the same at
that of the Japanese by the end of the year.
Well—we don't believe it. Millions of men may have to
change jobs, but it is certainly ridiculous to assume that this
•hifting around is going to brng our employment record down
to the level of the nation we destroyed.
ON WINGS AND WHEELS
The war caused many people to think they would soon be
riding in a jet propelled plane. But the research department of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana says: ‘‘Jet planes, even
with their ability to use heavy fuels, will probably not come into
' ordinary use for private or commercial planes for a long time,
if ever.”
The survey was part of the company’s study of future fuels
and requirements, and dealt entirely with civil aircraft. It said:
MA jet plane must fly high and fast. ISince high-altitude, high
speed flight is expensive no matter what kind of engine is used,
the experts feel the jet plane will hardly fit into the economic
picture. Most experts feel that the large airplane of tomorrow
will use propellers, but that the propellers will be driven by gas
turbines .... particularly as planes are built that need engines
of greater than 3,000 horsepower.”
Every radical change in engine design means that the oil
industry must develop lubricants and fuels that will make the
operation of such engines practical and loot proof. The American
oil industry has always kept pace with or been one jump ahead
of demands. That is one reason why the United States leads the
world in its use of all types of motor equipment for pleasure
and business.
, Private enterprise seeks new fields to conquer in methods of
production and distribution, for that is the lifeblood of its suc
cess. And that is why a nation profits so greatly where individ
nal opportunity and incentive for advancement is the driving
force in industries. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in
the laboratories of the oil companies whose job it is to keep
American citizens on wings as well as wheels.

time consumed in straightening

gretable if the reconversion pro
gram were delayed for any
length of time. The military
forces are currently demobiliz

month, and expect to up that to
1,000,000 a month by the first

men will be looking for jobs
some, of them for the first time
in four or five years. Those jobs
should be waiting for them.
AIR CONDITIONED BUS
The problem of air conditioning
railway cars and intercity buses,
intensified by the frequent open
ing and closing of doors, appears
to have been solved. Down in
Atlanta, where it can and
does get pretty hot during the
summer, the Georgia Power Com
pany has put into experimental
service an air conditioned trolly j
bus made exclusively for city)
transportation. To compensate,
for frequently opened doors, the;
air conditioning equipment, manu
factured by the Carrier Corpo
ration, has twice the cooling and
dehumidifying capacity of inter
city buses and is about the size of
the used on modern railroad
cars. It supplies 800 cubic feet
of outside air a minute for ven
tilation and fans circulate a
total of 2,200 cubic feet of
and fans circulate a total
cooled, dry air through ducts
passing down both sides of tne j
coach. If such coaches prove;
practical wilted collars will be
on the way out and more com
fortable, better dispositioned wor
kers will greet their famalies in
the evening.

‘S’ MARKS SPOT—American
rubber men are uneasy lest some
cases of mistaken identity detract
from the generally favorable rep
utation synthetic tires are win
ning. The other day James J.
Newman, vice president of B. F.
Goodrich, warned that motorists
ought not to assume that every
“war tire” they had—which may
not have turned out too well—
was a synthetic rubber tire. “You
s<>.” he said, “several million
li'o made with reclaim rubber
were produced and distribute J
.early in the war. To a large ex-j
ton those tires, which never were!
expected to be more than a mere
s'op-gap product, are figuring in
current tire-failure statistics, and
with all the attention that has
been focused on synthetic as the
wartime tire, people may get a
less favorable impression of syn
thetic tires than the true facts
warrant.” He advised car owners
to look for the letter “S” molded
into the side of every tire con
PAYS TO SHOW APPRECIATION
HERE’S something you can learn from Ed Wynn, the
comedian. He says that some of his success has bee.,
due to the appreciation he shows to people who do things
for him. He gets, of course, a great deal of publicity, bu
he never fails to thank the person who has given it to him.
When a columnist runs his name, he sends him a sing e
word telegram-^-“Thanks.”
When he is on the road with a show, and a local repor
ter calls to interview him, Ed Wynn always gets his name
and makes a note of the paper he is working for. Alter
the interview has appeared, Ed sends him his one-wor
telegram. Is the local reporter pleased?
Alexander de Seversky is very mucn m «>«=
front pages these days, and has become an influ
ence in our air strategy. He has designed, basic
trainer planes, and has become famous in the
world war aviation. But he says that a great
deal of his success has come from the. men around
him, the engineers who work with him. He is fa
mous, also, for his ability to inspire loyalty a
mong the men who work for him. He says he
does this chiefly by showing the men apprecia
tion. He makes it a point never to go into his
plant and come out without having said some
thing appreciative to some of his workers. Some
times it is merely a pat on the back, sometimes
he says, “Thanks for the fine way you have han
dled this. I am glad to be associated with you.’
E. H. Little was born on a farm in Mecklenburg Coun
ty, North Carolina, and worked selling mules. One day, to
his astonishment, the Colgate company offered him a job
as salesman in another part of the state. On the day he
was to go to work, he started out early and went from
grocery store to grocery store trying to sell his soap. Bpt
he was new at the business and did not know his product
At the end of the day he had only one order, and this was
from a small inconsequential store.
He was ashamed to come in and show the district man
ager the small order. But when the manager looked at
the order, he said, “Thank you for trying so hard.”
