Under the change, A book driv-

miles a month instead of 240, and
the maximum amount of mileage
available to non-preferred users
who travel in the course of work
will be 480 as against the present
limit of 720. However, the holder
of a supplemental ration now will
be expected to use only 60 miles

driving whereas he formerly could
use 150 miles from his basic book
for necessary driving.

One Job Well Done Begets Another
HERE’S no satisfaction in all the world like the feeling of
having done a j'b well —of being able to see the results of
your work. This is one thing that all producers of useful things have
T
in common.
And those of us whose job is production—whether of goods on
farms and in factories, or of services in stores and banks and utilities
—can best see the results of our work in the high standard of living
which we have helped to create in America. For thia standard ta
built on our ability to produce more per person than any other
nation on earth. And the people of every country, who are looking
hopefully to us for food and weapons, can count on America becauae
it has this great productive might.
After the war is over? Many people are talking about a richer life
for all of us then. And they're rightl For that richer life will be
brought about, not by promises, but by hard work on the part nt
America’s producers. And they-those who row and make .nd do
things—can do this post-war job better if they work together and
understand each other. Central Electrit Co., Schenectady, N. F.J
