THE EDITOR’S VOICE A person is really prepared for a standing train vide nowadays. You get the practice standing in line to buy your ticket in many places. ® eo 0 ' That Russian campaign certainly had us stumped pronouncing names of cities, Sicily was no better and along comes Naly worse than any previous. There are several foreign countries we sincerely hepe our armies steer clear of. ol e000 - There was another iflustration that labor is “reigning supreme” at a New Jersey cannery. The gov- ernment sent 1,000 soldiers from Camp Dix to South Jersey canneries and the laber unmions whe control these canning factories took the regular union weekly dues off each soldiers pay while he was employed —and nothing was done about it. Will it take a second war to put the unions back where they belong? ® 00 What some of our present day scientists won’t resort to. A chap from California reveals that he can make a ‘special’ pill which will, if placed -under the skin .of an old bammyard rooster, make that meat mere tender and sweet. Arother fellow has - figured out that by the cooking of cats’ diets at high temperatures it terxded tor cut down greatly on {heir ability to produce kittens. * After that we're ready for almost anything. ® 00 GEORGE CAN'T DO IT The illusien that government is Santa Claus, if not already dispell- ed, soon will be. The President is crease must fall on the middle-in- come brackets and down to $2,500 and $3,000. ‘The truth is that of our ‘national income (now at 140 bil- Tons) some 91 billions goes to peo- ple in the lower brackets—people wwhese income is $3,000 or less.” Avy public official who inspires the that the rich can be made to pay for the war is doing a dis- service to his country. This war must be paid for by ibe whole peo- Fle. If an attempt is made to grant tax favors to one group at the ex- pense of another, the result can be none other than disastrous. The tax burden is growing so heavy that un- less it is distributed equitably, in- “dividual opportunity and the incen- tive to produce will be destroyed. If that happens, a farce will have been made of democratic govern- ment—a farce that will collapse under the weight of its own in- justice, taking with it the liberties of all of us. When new tax bills are drawn, the old dodge of “Let George do it,” won't work. George can’t do it. ® 600 ' FLAMING COFFINS Two-thirds of the ten thousand persons who burned to death in the United States in 1941, perished in homes. In spite of these figures, it is hard to convince anyone who has not witnessed or experienced the lightning-like destruction of hich fire is capable, that an agile person might be unable to flee the com- paratively few feet necessary to reach safety from the confines of the ordinary home. Many remain un- convinced until inh screaming terror they pass out of this world, victims |ses of their own ignorance. . Home fires frequently originate in basements, In less than five min- utes any fire can generate super- heated air to temperatures of from 400 to 500 degrees. This superheated air rises through every avenue to | the higher sections of the building | and endangers every inhabitant, for no one can breathe air of that tem- perature and live. Within ten min- utes, as the fire progresses, the air temperature increases to between 800 and 1,000 degrees. When air of this temperature concentrates in at- tic spaces or upper halls, it spon- taneously sets fire to every item of burnable material. Frequently fire is found in the basement and on the top floor, with no flames sections between. Thus is ex- e Mount Joy Bulletin ESTABLISHED JUNE 1901 Published Every Thursday at Mount Joy, Pa.

Occupants of every home in the country should know whether their places of residence are in reality flaming coffins. In cases where they are, the fault is probably traceable to minor construction details that can easily be corrected—such as improperly sealed clother chutes, dumbwaiter and stairways, as well as walls without fire stops. These and similar hezards can be minim- ized or removed 2t comparatively small expense. They often spell the difference between life and death. ®e © o STARTING POINT OF RECONVERSION On the day the war ends, the time for stratospheric’ post-war planning will have run out. Fhe time for action will have. arrived The respensibility of maintaining employment and stability will fall on the shoulders of hundreds of in- dustries, and literally millions of individual enterprises. Between the American people and the glittering new world that kas been dangled before their eyes, stand a lot of tough problems to be solved by the ingenuity of practical business men. Before ary of the products of in- dustry, for example, can actually reach the public, they must first be bought and distributed throughout the land of thousands of retail mer- chants. Until the retailers place the Upon: the ability of the distribution industry to foresee and meet con- sumer demands, rests at least par- tially the fate of immediate post- war planning. : Godfrey M. Lebhar, editor of Chain Store Age, observes that only by keeping the wheels of production {turning on a capacity basis can em- ployment be maintained and eco- nomic unscttlement averted. He emphasizcs that: “The chains and cther laige scale distributors can make a most valuable contrihution to the nation-wide post-war plann- ing cffort by the relatively simple course of placing orders now for postwar delivery. The placing of substantial orders now will give manufacturers a firmer basis for their post-war planning.” The ‘dangers ef forcing retailers to operate subject to regulations that threzten their existence, are becom- ing increasingly cvident. Every re- tailer in this country will be direly needed to help reestablish normal civilan life after the war. Mass dis- tribution will be the starting point of rcconversion. If this faet is ever forgotten, dreams of great pro- duction will remain just that— dreams. ® & © IT STILL GOES There has been change in military uniforms during the wars of this country. There has been drastic al- teration in fighting equipment through the years. Even the orders, requirements, 2ge and food have al- tered with the times. But there seems to be cre thing that remains the same as wars eocme and go, our fighting men want their tobacco. The industry has profitted greatly for the product has gained in favor as it passed frem fad to fancy through the years. Nicotine finds place among the rank and file and fights on every front today. After the Civil war practically nire-tenths of the men of both north and south had taken up chewing tehacco. This was mixed as molas- end salt with the tobacco leaves and then pressed into small cakes which found a place in the mascu- lire pockets, and some feminine too, | we understand. Though pipes were | commen in those days, gentlemen didn’t smoke pipes!

Mr. Newcomer also suggested that the secretary notify the Town Plan- ning: Commission to rush its work as rapidly as possible as there have been requests for the opening of several new streets. This planning should be completed before building lots are sold on any of the proposed streets. Mr. Keller, of the Water commit- tee, reported more Diesel trouble (which, he outlined) since the last meeting; that the creamery's auxil- iary Diesel was used the past six days for 38 hours at a cost of $88.00 and that the recent break cost the boro $278.95 for parts, $122.91 for labor and $3366 for use of the Creamery’s engine, Lanc.

Insurance on Farm Loans Urged by Private Investors That the establishment of a sys- tem of mortgage insurance for farm mortgages similar to that in effect for Federal Housing administration residence loans would serve as add- ed protection against a recurrence of inflation in land values, such as occurred after the last World war, is suggested in a report of the farm loan committee of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. Among the points cited by the committee in favor of this innova- tion in farm mortgage banking was the assertion that such a system would greatly increase the supply of private funds available for this field. More uniform rates of interest, a minimum of service charges and more standardized practices in se- curing and servicing loans would re- sult, it declares. An unfavorable factor in the farm mortgage pieture at the present time, as far as these large institu- tional investors are concerned, is that they tend to overcrowd the best farm loaning territories and avoid the larger portions of the farm lending territory except in ‘the dangerous periods of farm price in- flation.” It is also suggested that the system would provide the neces- sary machinery for reasonable post- ponement of principal payments on farm mortgages in times of business and agricultural recession thus go- ing a long way to eliminate large liquidations by foreclosure, a prin- cipal factor in previous farm dis- tress.

Miller. “Electric {service has an important part in this ' conservation program, first because electricity, for the most part, is' made from fuel. The gas the Com- | pany produces is also made from fuels. Second, in supplying our cus- | tomers we use certain critical ma- ! terials. Third, the shipping of our fuel and supplies requires trans- | portation and man-power. And fourth, our customers, in putting | gas and electricity to work, also use! vital metal needed for war produc-! tion, for example, in electric service, | the copper, tungsten and brass in [light bulbs. While the efforts of each of us, as individuals, may seem too insignifi- cant to matter—we must remember, too, that one soldier does not make an army. But, the total savings of each and every one of us in the use of gas and electricity and.allof these other vital services and resources can make a difference of dows.) months or perhaps even years in hastening the final day of Victory. As for the conservation of gas and electricity, there is no intent to have people go without needed and es- sential service.
