On Every front
. . . General Electric equipment is fighting with America'i land
army. From the rolling kitchen to the front line, electricity
works for victory.
1. In the factory electricity
stitches the seamj of tank
armor, and on the battlefield it
controls the operation of these
spearheads of modern combat.
2. In induction center and
field hospital, the X ray helps
safeguard the health of our
fighting men, aiding in the diag-
nosis and treatment of disease.
3. Far from the usual power
sources, mobile power plants
supply electricity for 800,000,000
candlepower searchlights by
which a newspaper csn be read
12 miles away.
4 Blitz war requires swilt
communications! On the soldier's
back, in field and sky, radio
co-ordinates the striking force
of American army planes, guns,
and tanks.
General Electric believe, that it* first duty as a
good citizen is to be a good soldier.

transportation of mobile groups of
experienced farm workers, the
transfer of experienced operators
and workers from sub-standard
lands to productive areas, the ad-
justment of farm wages in rela-
tion to industrial wages, and a
farm labor training and manag-
ment prlgram. Because of the "wide
disparity" between salaries and wage
paid agricultural labor and those
paid industrial labor, OES Director
Byrnes gave control over agricul-
tural wages to Secretary Wlckard.
The House passed and sent to the
Senate legislation directing that
farm wages be included in calcul
atlons of parity prices for farm
products, defining wages as those
not only of hired hands, but of
operators and owners as well, v

A SUGGESTION
When you go through all your
old greeting cards and wonder what
to do with them you might give
this suggestion for disposing of
them some thought. It will give
pleasure to others after you have
enjoyed seeing and reading the
special sentiments. One dislikes
throwing them away and so tucks
a few away as souvenirs, perhaps |
frames another. But on the whole i
most greeting cards are thrown out.
Don't do this but give them to!
children's wards In hospitals, nur- j
series and foundling homes or |
wherever children are entertained i
for they like to cut out cards >
and make scrapbooks of them, per-
haps you know of other worthy
ways of sending them to be ap-
preciated, but take the trouble to
distribute them where they will
give joy to another after they
served their purpose with you. *

BE CAREFUL ABOUT FIRES
"We must not allow destructive
fires to burn our homes, or to
cause injury or death to our fami-
lies," Hall said. "This can be avoid-
ed by being careful in planning our,
decorations for Christmas. Hie de- j *
corations more commonly used are , J
highly combustible, and therefore1 ^
create additional fire hazards dur-
ing the holiday season."
Several lire safety practices men
tloned by the Commissioner were:
See that decorations are kept a
safe distance from stoves or other
heating equipment; do not allow
them to come in contact with elec-
tric light bulbs, or appliances; pre-
vent the accumulation of trash, pa-
pers, boxes or rubbish; "black out
matches, cigars and cigarettes be-
fore discarding them; keep matches
beyond the reach of children; be
careful to keep electric circuits from
being overloaded.
