This country is just beginning to encounter some of the
biggest and most difficult problems that a m ilitary economy
makes unavoidable.
The arm s program is getting into stride. O ur a irc ra lt pro
duction is at the rate of about 25.1)00 plant s a year. Production
of tanks, machine guns, arm y trucks ami other vital necessities,
is increasing fast. The two-ocean navy will be completed fa r
ahead o f the original schedule. In the next two years, tilth --s

In reading a few sentences from the little booklet called the
KPY philosopher, we « e re rem inded «if the trem endous social
elwmges that have taken place in tin- w orld «luring the past
tw enty y ears: changes so rapid that m any have not been able
to adjust themselves ami have fallen by the wayside so fa r as
prominence, leadership or the aceum ulation of w ealth is eon-
eefned. We have seen more changes perhaps than any tw o like
periods in the American history.
i These changes might as well he accepted, we w on’t likely
return to the old ways of doing things. The point th a t should
interest most of us ami has interested m any sober m iuded peo
ple is mit to swing top far to the right or left in eith er direc
tion. nor to abandon the principles ««• know to la- right ami
tit,.e-t eated. Honesty ami integrity ami h ard work are still p a ra
mount human virtues. These should not lie lost sight of in th-
changes that are sure to come following the period of rea d ju st
ment in world affairs during the next few years.
TH E H O U SIN G SITU ATIO N .
The housing situation, acuti- her«- for the past tw o years
as in many sections of the U nited States, seems to take spells
of growing worse ami the past two weeks has been one of the
worst spells if we can judge hv the num ber of inquiries.
In m unicipalities wln-re a full time m anager of a C ham ber
of Commerce functions, the job of directing the inquiries is
usually assigned to the m anager, in m unicipalities where no full
time m anager exists, the lot usually falls to the new spaper. This
is a service we are glad to perform as our means ami tim e will
permit ami while i t ’s trm- that we derive a small revenue in the
elcassified ad departm ent, the revenue received does not begin
to rem unerate us for the time in trying to direct tlms.- w anting
housing facilities to the proper place.
We m ention this as another comm unity service this news
paper is trying to perform for the community. W<- have seen the
idea of looting your own horn tried so oft«n and so successfully
in many instances that ««• just could not refrain from pointing
to this little service, g« m rally forgotten in the final recount of
the m erits of institutions.
