This Drof™ acy, according to one analysis, is creating “more economic waste than all the supposed inefficiency o f gov ernment und all the alleged corrup tion of politics." The present generatlou of young people may be Just as sound funda mentally as my own generation, but if so, surely they have worse par ents! Today's parents have invented nnd are giving to their children most dangerous doles, in the form of auto mobiles, radios, taxis, speedboats, mo vies, roadhouses, dinner dunces, an 1 clothes that would have made Croe sus and Midas feel like village school teacheis working on part time. This would not be so bad if we Increased character training to counterbalance these temptations; but most fathers are too busy making money to spend their time training children. Wasteful Spending I don't blame John and Mary so much as I do their "Santa Claus" Perhaps the only reason why, as a young man, I didn't drive my fath e rs horse sixty miles an hour was be cause he couldn't go that fast even j» » » » »» » » » » » » » » » when I stepped on him! But if I had attempted such feats, I su rly would have been made to throw my work into high gear likewise so as to earn the money to pay the piper. No doles were passed out to us kids in those days. If we were to have a good time, we knew we had to have a good job; and we paid our bills in stead of sending them home.

No gas holder in England has ever caused damage to surrounding citizens or property when bombed. Experience has shown that it is not worth while to bomb gas holders with either incendiary or explosive bombs. * • • These questions are appro priate and natural. The general public has become newly con scious, within the past two weeks, of all the intricate machinery and plants and organizations of people that have supplied these public services with sil nt efficiency for so many years. And the fact that these inquiries show so little actual anxiety about any of these serv ices, such as gas and power, transportation and com munications, is another evidence of the remarkable coolness with which the people of Portland and vicinity have met all alarms since Sunday morning, December 7. Our gas manufacturing plant, which fs strongly guarded like all utility and similar properly, can be blacked out on 60 seconds’ notice. No doubt we face a long war, but our cities arc already settling down to an efficient and orderly routine of living. The utilities and other public services have been making detailed plans for months to preserve normal service. The Gas Company, for one example, has 7S0 employees who, with their own defense tasks and their regular jobs well in hand, have energetically joined with civilian defense units of various kinds It is a veteran organization of engineers, chemists, arti sans and workers— ready, trained, experienced and able. In these days, every expert is at work— in telephone, telegraph, radio, power, water, gar. and all vital services. One interesting but little-known fact is that gas holders (or "tanks" or "reservoir*") are explosion- p roof and firt-p roof by nature. An incendiary bomb BRAND ★ The Gas Company, like all other su ppliers o f essential public services in the daily life of the community and in the national defense, is receiving occasional inquiries about service during war times. Service maintenance methods used in England under the severest war-time conditions have been thoroughly studied by American gas companies. Gas service in London and other British cities successfully came through the most intensive bombing raids in history. T reat yourself id ★ mesrrtge to our 90,000 customers and the public: SK A SO Y . . . y o o c t TcTyc ★ ABOUT Y01III GAS SERVICE 7 It Just the same Old wish that we have sent during the years we have been serving you. Gas main: and pipes arc, of course, safely buried underground everywhere. The only comp’ ete interrup tion of gas service in the history of the Portland Gas & Coke Company happened 47 years ago, at the time of the great 1894 flood when the old gas works at the toot of Flanders Street was flooded. Finally, let me explain an important fenture of your gas supply system. Portland gas is manufactured from oil. After the gas-making process is finished, large quantities of residues are left, rich in chemical-, and substances from which important indus rial ?-,d de fense by-products are manufactured. During rormal times our customers nave benefited from the sale of these by-products because we used the revenue from our chemical manufacturing operations to reduce the rates for gas service to our customers. Port land gas rates thus became the lowest of any city in the country not supplied with natural gas. But now the manufacture of many of these by-pro ducts assumes new and greater significance because they have become essential to defense industries. Thus meeting the industrial demands of war as well as the daily needs of 90,000 gas users makes it doubly impor tant now to keep our plant steadily in production 24 hours a day. • • • Every member of our organization knows and acccp:- his increased responsibilities, and on behalf of all cf us 1 wish to assure you that this big and loyal force it fully prepared to meet them.
