What has war to do with your
telephone calls? Whx should

your friends?
At your telephone exchange

exchanges everywhere In this
country... war calls of some
kind are always passing
through. They are calls which

airplanes, and engine parts.
They keep many lines al-
ways busy. New lines cannot
be built because the materials
are needed now at the front.
So.«.ifwecivillansgooutele-
phoningas usual, there is con-
stant danger of a telephone
traffic jam that will delay
those calls so vital to Victory.
We like to give you any kind
of service you want any time
you want it. We usually do.
But now... well, this is your

try to make as many calls as

Brother E. E. McElroy is having
a bad time with appendicitis. He
has not been .operated on yet.
Heard he was to be operated on last
Saturday but he is better now.
Brother Walter Thomas had his
father and mother as guests over
the week-end. He tells me his
father is 86 years old and boasts of
carrying a union card 60 years. iHs
Our business meeting was short
but interesting this month. Our
chairman for the Red Cross sew-
ing, Mrs. Dale Maines, advised
that the Auxiliary had earned a
rating of 300 hours, also that the
'Red Cross was very pleased with
our work. New material was is-
hued to all members to be finished
and returned at our next meeting.
After the business meeting ad-
journed quite a pleasant surprise
was held for yours truly. The ladies
presented a box of daintily wrap-
ped gifts and we all shared in the
fun opening them. It was so nice
of you ladies, and thanks again. .
Two of our members have been
ill, Mrs. J. Frank and Mrs. Irene

“Reality” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in-all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, September 27.
The Golden Text is: “Thou, O
Lord, remainest for ever; thy
throne from generation to genera-
tion” (Lamentations 5:19).
Among the citations which comh-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Keep ,thy
that, and if there are any who think
they are paying too much dues, and
I know some wives who gripe about
this, the only cure I can think of is
to visit out there and you will ap-
preciate what you get for your
money.
We had a complete visitation
prior to the dedication, directed by
the matron, Mrs. Hamilton, who is
both lovely and gracious. She took
us (W. I. A. members) from stem
to stern.
The buildings, of which there are
four, not counting the fine stables
and chicken houses, are magnifi-
cent and immaculate. The dining
room and library are beautiful;
there are living ropms and recrea-
tion rooms on nearly every floor,
and the sanitorium is complete to
the last word. I couldn’t begin to
describe the grounds—acres and
acres of the most gorgeous flowers
and trees I have ever seen (our lo-
cal flower shower had nothing on
the outdoor display of their regu-4
lar flower beds. Dahlias, mari-
golds, asters,’ geraniums, ’mums,
all in every color and size—and
those beautiful blue spruce trees.
Wednesday we went back and had
supper. This seemed to be the
popular night for the Houston vis-
itors, as it seemed we were all
there. We spent an enjoyable eve-
ning with our Houston residents,
and while Lockwood is the only one
who was out and about, we visited
young Forrest and Bill Stacks also.
Mrs. Hamilton at the W. I. A.
session asked that we bring back
the request that mqre mail be sent
to the residents from their home
folks and friends. The delegates of

The son of Mrs. Gordon, who is

The son-in-law of Mrs. Long-

Billy Goyen, who is the son of
our Clara of that ilk, expects soon
to take his flying test for the Air
entire nation tonight that the
manner in which labor has
urged these committees to
combat absenteeism is splen-
did.” ,
in one copper plant, Nelson said,
the committee stopped layoffs that
were causing a 16 per cent loss in
production. In another plant the
committee obtains results by re-
warding perfect attendince with
lapel buttons. In another plant
workers who lay off are paid for
the day “in phony German marks.”
In some cases the absentees are
asked to explain before special
committees of workers.
“This evil and potential dan-
ger,” Nelson said,-“is being up-
rooted by the men themselves.
“Many other services are per-
formed by the committees. One
committee reports it has salvaged
500 tons of metal scrap in a single
month. Another reports the num-
ber of cars carrying men to work
was reduced in one month by 11 per
cent, although the number of work-
ers was increasing.
“Still another committee re- *
ports that accidents resulting
in loss of time on the job have
been cut in half in six months.
“Contrast the attitude toward
their work of the enslaved labor of

“we are only warmed up” for the

out the very necessary tidal wave
of equipment they will need, not
only to break through the enemy's
position, but to sustain and protect
them on their march to Berlin and
Tokyo.”

x ON THE HOME- FRONT
Since Pearl Harbor, Nelson
said, our war production has
been increased by more than
350 per cent—“a great record,
of which the nation has every
reason to be proud.”
“True,” he added, “it is not good
enough; there must be more, and
there will be more. In this game
there is no second prize. We are
playing for keeps.”
The speech, broadcast over a
nation-wide radio network, was
devoted largely to the first com-
preheisive report of the amazing
results accomplished since the
creation of labor-management com-
mittees in war plants.

ers, the audience contained promi-

a matter of distribution—a matter
of getting material to processing
plants, thence to fabricating fac-
tories, eventually to the point of
final assembly, and ultimately to
where it is needed on the fighting
fronts. The only way in which we
can depend on our transportation
systems, local and long haul, to do
their job is by cutting civilian de-
mands on these systems to the
barest possible minimum. And that
is what we are doing.
Fuel Crisis Threatens , ,
The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation announced last week that by
cutting out duplicate passenger
train and bus schedules in the first
half' of 1942 the railways' have
gained 114 locomotives and 553
passenger cars to meet the needs
of war traffic. The greatest civil-

Went out to see Bill Amason
again and he is doing fine. Could
see without his glasses.
' Had a telephone call from an old
brother * and very good ’ friend,
Brother Hugh Slover. I asked him
if it was not his ghost calling me,
but he asured me he was not dead.
I had not heard from Hugh for so
long. He is having trouble with
one of his legs. Thinks he will have
to have an operation. Hope it is
not serious, and that we will have
him up to see us soon.
Richard Parker, our old friend
John Parker’s son, has entered the
University of Houston. We wish
him much success in his studies.
Don’t fail your dad, Richard, for he

For a* time the Eastern seaboard
seemed to stand alone in the face
of a threatening fuel shortage.
Now, however, a similar emergency
exists on the west coast, in Wash-

of war may vary in their nature—
and in extent from section to sec-
tion—but hardships there will be
and they must be met in a spirit of
cheerful acceptance and coopera-
tive effort.
Every Form of Waste Must Go
In addition to increasing our out-
put of raw materials—and unless
we increase this output we shall
lose’ the war—we must cut out
every form of waste. One of our
most dangerous scarcities is the
scarcity of steel. A single mediue
tank contains about- 26 tons of
’ steel, ad such tanks are destroyed
by hundreds in isolated actions on
single sectors. Tanks are knocked
out of action by the hundreds and

must live as though we were a poor
people, a people with scant re-
sources. Just now we’re so short of
rubber that WPB has ordered that
rubber is not to be used in making
cartridge dip boxes, gun grips, and
a long list ofvother military prod-
ucts for our fighting men. And
production soldiers of the factory
front will be uniformed in work
clothes of skimpier cut, work
clothes with fewer pockets, and

The shortage of steel last week
impelled WPB to order makers of
wooden upholstered furniture to
stop using iron or steel in springs
and at the same time WPB asked
the furniture industry to help re-
lieve civilian shortages by making
out of wood articles normally made
of metal. But WPB warned that
these lockers, ice boxes, wash tubs,
lamps, pails, trailer*, truck and bus
bodies must be made of the lower
grades of wood since first quality
wood is reserved primarily for
military purposes.
Transportation Problems Acute
- Our transportation problems
grow, and these problems auto-
matically shrink the civilian travel
horizon, add to the difficulties
which surround civilian shipping.
Transportation, in a sense, is the
key to the victory—or rather, one
of the many keys with which we

■ The pressure of war is felt in-
creasingly on the home front. This
pressure, this recoil from the shock
of battle on distant fronts, takes
many fomms. It takes the form of
growing shortages, it can be felt
in curtailed transportation facili-
ties, it touches every home—no in-

Offenfves are costly—Admiral
King, Commander in Chief of the
United States fleet, said of the
Solomons that “considerable lpsses,
such as are inherent in any offen-
sive operation, must be expected.”
Offensives are costly, and yet we
must go from offensive to offen-

must drive the Japs from the terri-
tory they have seized and boot the
Nazis out of occupied Europe and
the Near Eat. And so we must
