Alrea dy the war is beginning to pinch the average car owner, and according to general reports the pinch will grow tighter as the days and months go by. We, of course, can stand the pinch on pleasure driving, and much of the going about here and there that is unnecessary. But business is being affected along many lines. The farmer will feel the handicap in movement of products. The transportation of pro ducts in trucks along highways will be heavily re stricted, and the railroads will be loaded beyond capacity. Automobile dealers, service stations and oil companies will find business reduced to a mini mum. These are facts that we are facing now, and how much worse they may become depends largely on the course of the war. Such restrictions of our nor mal business activities will reduce our ability to buy defense bonds, and our capacity to support all war effort. But we will have to meet the condition until relief comes. It is our duty, and our patriotism will help us, to yield ungrudgingly in our all out struggle to regain our ways of life under our form of govern ment. There may be good reasons in statesmanship why all this should not have been allowed to hap pen, but that is all off now, and if you just don’t like it, try to imagine a Japanese invasion of our west coast and a Japanese gestapo telling us much worse things to do.

IF IT APPEARED HERE FARMERS SUPPLY AT THE Hotpoint SIGN Ranges Refrigerators Wash Machines Oil Heaters Competitive Prices On Small Electrical Appliances and Supplies Farmers Supply Store HERE'S WHERE COPPER WIRE IS GOING! Every four-motor bomber contains more than three and a half miles of copper wire! A single anti-aircraft shell uses nearly 8 pounds of copper—a battleship takes more than 200,000 pounds of the red metal. And during the last war our Signal Corps strung enough copper wire to stretch around the world several times. Add these enormous requirements of the army and navy together and you can see why civilian use of copper must be drastically curtailed. Power companies, normally the largest civilian users of copper, no longer can build long extensions to serve farms, su burban homes or non-defense industries. The challenge of the day is to make the most effective possible use of existing power lines—in fact, of all the nation’s production facilities. That is the way to save precious time, materials, manpower. When the war is won. Pacific Power & Light will again string copper wire through suburban tracts and down coun try roads to deliver to new farms, homes or industries the cheap electricity that makes this region the envy of the nation. * * * BEFORE YOU BUILD a new home, electrify your farm, or make any changez in your electric service requirement, PLEASE CONSULT WITH US If it’s potable, well rearrange our facilities Io terve you.
