The endeavor of the Union Press-
Courier is to sincerely represent
Union Warkers in their efforts to
abtain economic freedom, particu-
larly as advocated by the United
Mine Workers of America. We so-
licit the support of All Unions.
Material for publication must be
autherized by the organization it
represents. signed by the Presi-
dent and Secretary, and bear the
seal of the Local.
The Union Press-Courier gives its
advertisers the advantage of the
combined circulation of the two
largest circulated weeklies in Cam-
bria County and has a reader cov-
erage that blankets Patton and the
major mining towns. Ee
FOR THE PAST SEVERA AL WEEKS
as Patton folks know, the Press-
Courier has been remodeling their
recently acquired business block on
Fifth Avenue, and one of the most
constant questions asked members of
the staff is:
move? The new quarters are now
virtually complete for the task of
moving, but Old Man Winter doesn’t
exactly act in accordance with our
wishes. During the first week in
February our big new newspaper
press will be installed, and moving of
the plant will follow that at the most
convenient time. Moving of a print-
ing plant isn’t exactly the most plea-
sant thought for us. One can’t just
carry heavy machinery, and weather
conditions must present at least a
“promising” appearance when we be-
gin the trek down street.

WHILE IT HAD BEEN OUR ORIG-
inal intention to occupy the entire
building, later these plans were chan-
ged when it was found that the
space 10w occupied by the Dairy-
Dine would not be required at this
time, but can be taken over at some
fater time, if our business require-
ments demand expansion. The floor
space we will occupy exceeds mater-
ally the present quarters, and the
segregation of some of the mechan-
ical features swill come as a blessing '
to us. The lay out of our plant has
been given extended and careful con-
sideration, and the building has been
converted to meet every detail. The
Press-Courier in moving to its per-
manent home, does so with personal
satisfaction to every employee, and
In our new quarters, with broadly
extended mechanical advantages, we
feel we will be able to make this
mewspaper one that you'll want in
your home each week.

WITH ONLY TWELVE DAYS RE-
maining during which motorists
ray obtain official inspection of their
automobiles, David W. Harris, state
secretary of revenue, nas issued a
warning that after January 31st, it
will be illegal for a Pennsylvania mo-
torist to operate his vehicle unless it
bears a 1945 official inspection stick-
er on the windshield. “Car inspection,
always regarded as a major safety
precaution, has become more impera-

“When are you going to'
not be replaced because of war em-
ergency,” Harris pointed out. Car
inspection, he said, not only insures
the safety of the owner and others
using the highways, but it may re-
veal defects, that, if corrected, will
| prolong life of the car.

WAR MOBILIZATION DIRECTOR |
James F. Byrnes has called for 68|
degree maximum temperatures in all|
the Nation's homes and office build- |
ings and ordered a partial blackout |
of display advertising lighting to
savt 16,000,000 tons of cial annually |
and avoid posible rationing. Intensi- [
fying his efforts to conserve every |
material and human resource for the |
successful prosecution of the war, he|
also directed the Office of Defense |
Transportation to eliminate all spe-|
cial and excursion trains and to pre-
vent any increase in passenger Seh-|
edules to resort areas.
Nok ok dk |
| OUTLINING HIS COAL CURTAIL- |
nent order, he warned of “an im-
i pending shortage" due to a falling
| production that has drained stock-
| piles. He estimated that a ten per]
| cent reduction in heating of build-|
ings would save approximately 14,-
000,000 tons a year and that 2,000,-
{000 tons more could be saved by a|
plan on outdoor lighting except where |
other fuel is used. |
ok kon |
THE ABOVE WAS JUST ANOTH- |
er of a series of drastic maneuvers
| by Byrnes to mobilize the Nation's]
manpower and resources fully behind
the men at the fighting fronts. He]
led off with a ban on all horse and |
dog racing, followed with a mandate |
for reclassifying and inducting you-
thful farm workers and athletes re-
jected or discharged for minor de-|
fects ,and subsequently ordered a
ban on big conventions. Then came |
| the elimination of special and excur- |
sion trains and above-normal sched-
ules to resort areas for the dual pur-
pose of relieving the burden on rail-
roads and effecting a coal saving. The
country is still at war, and latey it
| has not been going as weel as we |
had hoped, and all these things are |
necessary. We must get back into the |
spirit of doing every last thing for |
the war effort, and dispel the fogs of |
phoney optimism. |

HOWEVER, DESPITE THE (COAL
shortage that “allegedly” impends, |
the herculean efforts of the coal min- |
ers themselves in 1944 in breaking all |
production records, and with man-/!
power far, far below normal, stands
out as a monument to the United |
Mine Workers of America and their |
individual members. The current is-|
sue of the United Mine Workers
Journal points with justifiable pried |
to the accomplishments of this body |
of workers, of who so many make up
the population of our own county.

OFFICIALS OF THE JOHNSTOWN |
Motor Club say that Cambria was |
one of the three worst counties in the |
state in the matter of snow removal |
on highways this winter, according
to factual information at hand. The
other two counties are Somerset and |
Erie, the latter up in the northern]
part of the state. Concrete action on!
the part of the club was the passage |
of resolutions asking authorities re- |
sponsible for these conditions to take |
emergency measures to correct them. |
|
OFFICIALS OF THE MOTOR CLUB!
said without equivocation or reser- |
vation that inadequate effort has|
characterized snow removal through- |
out the conty since the heavy snows |
stared falling early in December. It|
is clamed by club officials that bull- |
dozers, road graders and similar suit-
aible equipment stands idle and could
be rented for an emergency. They say
that the economy angle is not well
taken as a reason for the failure to
keep the arteries of travel in safe
icondition, and that it is false econ- |
omy to build up huge funds for fu- |
ture rado building while the trucks
and automobiles that bring in that
revenue are being destroyed and are |
without replacement perhaps for a!
number of years after the war. The
condition of the roads has created ab-
senteeism in industry and slowed |
down vital war production. Mines in
some parts of the county have been |
closed down because miners were un- |
{able to get to their work. Theere |
have been instances where mining |
| companies have been forced to hire |
| equipment to open roads so employ- |
ees could get to work.
