More Optimistic Than Leaders There is considerable evidence that the people are not inclined to agree with their military and political lead- j era who are almost unanimous in. Dredictinsr a hard, bloody battle be- fore the war with Germany ends. This is due, irt part, to the convic tion that no responsible leader of a nation at war can afford, at this stage;, to intimate that victory is just around the corner for fear of a let-down in national efforts. I It is argued that even ' if our officials believed that the end of the, the N. C. Education Association, war is appoaching they know that James 'S: McNider, Jr., writes from the only sure way to k din is to keep Florida, where he is in school this up the unrelenting attacks that have year, 'I am a library assistant here produced such results and that maxi-, and find it an interesting job."

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics says that it is questionable whether railroads and trucks will be able to handle , the prospective in crease in industrial and farm produc tion. Both forms of transportation -are beset with problems of shortages of manpower and equipment While the report was directed to farmers, the general public can take JLj..... . warning from the nrediction that there will be a considerable decrease In the number of motor vehicles in operation by the end of 1944. While the railroads of the country have done a good war job in provid- ing transportation, a considerable volume of traffic is handled by mo- tor vehicles which, in many instances, make service available where railroad 1 transportation is lacking. I The contribution that motor vehi. cles have made to the development of our modern society is often over- looked. Despite gasoline restrictionn. many motor vehicles are used un wisely and unnecessarily. In view of the threatened scarcitv of transportation in 1944, it might be profitable to prolong the life of motor vehicles by eliminating all but essential tree.
