spurt of interest in its inventor, Charles
L. Lawrance. Lawrance has invented other
airplane engines in his time which were
used to break existing flight records, but
he has never sought or received public at-
tention.
The occasion of his latest invention,
which will be of great service to defense,
calls to mind a story told concerning him.
Once a wll-wisher inquired why Law-
rance seldom received credit when others,
who depended upon his inventions for their
success, were wildly acclaimed.
“After all,” Lawrance answered humor-
ously, “who ever heard the name of Paul
Revere’s horse?”
That quiet spirit of service is character-
istic of American industrial research. All
over our country, thousands of research
workers and engineers are making their
individual contributions to our national se-
curity. They served progress in the past.
Today they are helping to make sure that
the results of that progress are preserved
for the American generations that lie
ahead.

WE DEFEND THIS TRUTH
WHAT are we arming to defend? What
TV is it that we Americans hold so preci-
ous that we are willing to accept great
material physical sacrifices if need be to
make sure that it is not destroyed?
Not just the good land we have here, or
the wealth of useful goods and products
- that private enterprise has spread among
the people of this country. Much as we
value these, a better answer than that is
needed. And Roy W. Moore, noted indus-
trial leader, recently provided a sound

killed and over 51,000 injured in such ac-
cidents in the last three years, he reports.
The fault is not entirely that of the bi-
cycle rider. The fault is largely lack of
stress on what Mr, Kearney calls “The
"three E’s’—Enforcement, Education and
Engineering.” Few cities and towns, only
about 150, have studied the “bike prob-
lem” at all, and these have been rewarded
by an immediate drop in accidents.
The third “E,” Engineering, is of neces-
sity slow and expensive, but enforcement
and education can be readily put into prac-
tice. Requiring registration of bicycles is
a helpfl practice, but only if it is used
to enforce the laws pertaining to bicycles
and used to report infractions of the law
and commonsense. Many towns that re-
quire taillights or reflectors for “bikes”
ignore the ordinance and permit bicycle
riders to pedal after dark with no sort of
light to protect themselves—or to protect
the motorist who cannot easily see a dark
object against a dark field.

that few bicycles are up to mechanical

DEFENSE PROGRAM THAT BIG
rUE nation-wide collection of aluminum drama-
tizes for the average citizen the demand of
defense production. Each of us is asked to
give some discarded utensil or piece of equipment
for a mass collection throughout the country that
will yield an amount considerable enough to aid
appreciably.
In giving our old pots and pans, we have cause
to wonder at an oversupply suddenly turned into
a scarcity, but our defense program is that big.
Back in 1939, there was an all-time record output
of aluminum in this country, a total of 329,000,-
'000 pounds. Now we are producing at the rate of
700,000,000 pounds a year. Yet we are short even
of the half way mark to the new goal of one
billion, 600 million pounds a year for defense
needs, mainly for aircraft. At the same time we
have virtually shut off all aluminum for civilian

Our collection of old aluminum is something
more than a gesture. It is a demonstration of a
national unity in willingness to cooperate, but the
foundation for that drive was an actual need for
the metal. Possibly campaigns for other metals
will follow, even though we do not put silver into
ordinary commercial uses.—Sherman Democrat.

“And it is the right of the individual to

and to reap as his reward such returns as

The county fair, besides exhib-
iting and offering prizes for the
choice farm and industrial prod-
ucts of the locality, is a social
event.
It has played an important part
in the cultural development of
America.
As the years passed all sorts of
entertainment followed the county
fair, such as wrestling, catching a
greased pig, climbing a slippery
pole, pie-eating contests, sheep-
shearings. bands, military parades,
trapeze performances, horse, auto-
mobile and motor-cycle racing,
shell-games, lotteries and other
gambling devices, balloon and air-
plane ascensions and parachute
jumps, sideshows and what not.
A history of the county fair,
with its exhibits and entertain-
ment. would be a complete record
of the mechanical and cultural
evolution of America.
