A survey found about 50 feet of flooring, 100 feet of 2x4’s, six boards of shiplap, no plywood, some scrap lumber and heavy planks. Every day a score or more of de fense workers are hunting shelter, and more are leaving because sagebrush, trees, and the canopy of heaven are insufficient protection for hard working men. Every house within 30 miles is fully occupied, and men and families are still coming. Only a few arrive with trailer houses. The emergency here is the greatest yet. The work at the Ordnance Depot must go on. The war has no silver linings, and days and weeks and months are necessary to prepare our home arsenal of democra cy for the great struggle ahead. Local effort has reached its limits without changes of priorities and help from higher up. What to do, where to turn, whom to appeal to to secure greater coordination in this must program, makes a jig saw puzzle no one seems to be able to solve in the near future. Forces are at work and doing all they can to bring system out of chaos, and build strong defense for our Paci fic warfare, the end of which we know not. We are inspired by the determination that we will reach the goal, but the present situation requires all the sound thinking, loyalty to purpose, and patriotic zeal we can muster on the home front. Men who work long hours must have comfortable places to live and take necessary rest. Families must be cared for or taken elsewhere, which usually results to the worker going along. Ours may be only one of the thousands of problems growing out of the war, but we feel certain that there is some way to reach the heart of the thing. After all, crime always follows the assembling of large numbers of men. It was so in the frontier and boom days of the West. Then the vigilantes took care of the followers in the wake of honest pursuits. Now good officers do their best to control in an or derly way, but breakouts occur. In the old mining camps it was not unusual to have a “man for break- fast" every morning. Our usually orderly commu nity is shocked by the few vicious deeds, but these should be taken as natural consequences. The gab- fest of those who revel in reading and talking about crime goes on making hotbeds for more crime, but the law takes care of the rest without resort to a rope THE PRESENT That Lasts A ) cr • — A SUBSCRIPTION TO The Home Newspaper 99-99-09909999999099999999**0***9999090 Out of Sight Out of Mind!
