estimate. As a result cf great
shifts of workers to war produc*
tian centers and moves by fam ­
ilies who have members in the
armed forces, it is revealed that
many persons have appealed to
ODT for assistance In expediting
the movement of their household
goods. To aid the moving indus­
try to handle this Increased busi­
ness. household carriers are now
required to register any over-the-
road truck which is not loaded to
80 per cent of capacity, with the
ODT. The carrier is then direct­
ed to accept shipments of house­
hold goods registered by other
carriers with ODT.
At the same time every Ash­
land m otorist is asked to join a
share-the-ride club and help to
keep the nation's private cars on
the road for essential transporta­
tion. While it all helps when mo-
torists pick up waiting passen­
gers a t bus or trolley stops, it
would help more if every motor­
ist joined an organized share-the-
ride club. ODT says it will save
thousands of miles of wear and
untold gallons of gasoline.
Ashland carriers of property are
also urged to do their p art in
saving equipment, tires, gasoline
and ry an power ODT declares that
joint operation planning of sev­
eral carriers in a community
whereby they haul each other's
loads and otherwise pool their fa ­
cilities has proven to increase ef
flciency of truck operations. Such
plans when formulated should tx
submitted to ODT for approval
i and carriers are reminded tha'
such plans often help reduce op

BUSINESS depression is not the
¡»rice of peace. If peace could be
sought with agreements to undergo
severe financial reverses and give
ap many things we have now, the
American people would accept the
terms bravely, almost unanimously.
Peace would be worth it but peace
?an not be bought that way.
,
This scares many people: Two-
thirds of what American factories
are making these days, 66 2/3%
measured by dollar volume (call it
50 billion dollars a year) consists of
war goods—stuff nobody needs in
time of peace. But why worry if, as
the report implies, peace can create
an equal number of jobs or more?
If war should end tomorrow, prac­
tically everybody in the United
States would meet a sudden setback
in money matters. However, the best
economic minds in this country be­
lieve such a calamity can be avoided,
that hard times after this war are
not necessary. Among them are
Bernard M. Baruch, John M. Han­
cock and others whose profound
knowledge of economics is nowhere
disputed.
