WARTIME RESPONSIBILITIES GREATER
Many a solider owes his life to his Commanding of
ficer. who drove him to the utmost in battle, who never
let him slacken for a single fatal instant. The Ameri
can citizen will owe his security and safety to someone
who inspired and drove him to work harder, to spend
less on unnecessary things, and save and sacrifice more.
It is the duty of all who are experienced and in au
thority to aid and assist those for whom they are re
sponsible.
We the people will be held responsible for the well
being of the folks back home, for the boys at the front,
eo that when they return home, as they (we hope soon)
Will, they will find what they want most, their home
ftnd family life, the American Way.
It isn't necessary to wait for another War Bond
Drive, or to wait for someone to ask you to donate to
Borne worthy cause, Do it now.
War Bonds are a good investment for you, while
helping the war effort. Giving to the U. S. O. and
allied organizations, is no different than giving the full
amount to your own boy in the service. Father, Sons,
and Brothers in the service are most appreciative of what
we do in this manner, as they know that when we give
our funds and personal -services, to other men in the
armed forces, someone, somewhere, is giving like treat
ment to our own boys. Our allies stretch across the
World, from Norway to New Zealand, and are'partici
pating in allactivities, and on all fronts, for the mutual
freedom and liberty for all nations.
We reverently designate our Flag, as the Flag of the
Free. Keep it Flying.
OUR WAR DOGS
The following statements, taken from an article ap
pearing in The Animal World, England’s Royal S. P.
C. A.’s publication, relative to the war dogs of Britain,
may be regarded as true in practisaly every respeet.
concerning dogs in this country given up for service
with our armed forces.
Those who, from patriotic motives, have parted with
their animals may rest assured that they are receiving
good treatment.
Patience and kindness are the principal factors in
their training. Punishment is a deterrent and not a
help to learning.
The dogs are made to use their intelligence and
understanding. Where this is so, they will leave the
service more self controlled and far more controllable
than when the entered.
Patrol dogs accompany scouting parties. They sniff
out concealed enemy personnel and give silent warning
and direction to the party. Liaison dogs are trained
solely to carry messages between points where it is im
portant to have a fast inconspicuous messenger.
The breeds and types of dogs which react favourably
to army training include all the kinds that are suitable
for the three branches of the War Dog Service. Al
satians are favoured for vulnerable point duty. Al
satians and Labradors rank high for patrol work.
Collies and the smaller breeds of. sheep-dog have an
advantage in liaison because they are fast, nimble,
quick-witted and hard to detect. Mongrels of medium
height have shown up well in this department.
The head trainer for the army is a man who for many
years has been recognized as the foremost in his work.
With him is a staff of selected army personnel. They
are men who are well aware that only by gentle pa
tience can a dog be trained for war.
MANPOWER
Labor shortage is the principal wartime problem
oday, but threatened labor surplus will become the
)rimary concern in our postwar world.
Labor shortage today results from the expansion of
Peacetime industry, to full war production, and the
vithdrawal of labor into the military services. The
legree of success in substantial post-war employment
vill come from the number of wartime jobs or their
?quivalent, which can be carried over, or converted to
peacetime production, and through the relocation of
ndustry to give reemployment to those returning from
nilitary service.
Even if our wartime industries, such as shipbuilding,
I md aircraft production fall off sharply, there should
>e within a very short period of time, by resumption of
nanufacturing of such items, as have been curtailed
)ecause of definite materials and labor shortages, and
he conversion of most of the war plants to some peace
ime production.
Many states have experienced a sharp increase in
opulation in spite of heavy induction into the armed
>rces. In the west Idaho seems to be excepted. The
remainder of the states particularly central, have had
declines in population.
In many of the war production centers, many of the
newcomers find living conditions, housing and trans
portation so unsatisfactory, that they have turned to
less populated parts of the country.
Some of the manpower has come from states where
industry was less active. In order to divert the threat
of the serious labor surplus, industries must convert
their facilities to the manufacture of peacetime pro
ducts.
