"I am very much encouraged by the response of government offi cials and the response ol the peo ple to the development of air cargo. "The war production board, particularly Donald Nelson, has cooperated. I've never seen such wholehearted cooperation from the army as on air cargo."

We'll see to it that there's plenty of electricity at every switch at the air field and plenty of power for the production lines that are pour ing out airplanes, tanks, guns, sup plier and ships. All that takes a lot of electric power but we're got what it takes! Wc have far more power than all the Japanazis fire times as much as wc had in the last war! American business management is producing seven-eighths of that tremendous flow of power. The same practical business manage ment under public regulation that lias increased electric service and decreased electric prices so much that the average American family today enjoys about twice as much electricity for the same amount of money it did only 10 to 15 years ago. More power lo you, partners! When this war is won, we'll be ready again with plenty of power to help build a better world! California Oregon Power Company imest in America! buy war bonds and stamps
