The milder weather also brings out the cars and kids. This past week end was a txpical example. Crossing a street meant almost tailing \out life in your own hands as the cars were zooming and roaming all over Ilie area. To add to this, the little incident of squirt gun fights out of the cars made this more hazardous. On several occasions cars were witness.^! trying to avoid gun blasts from kids of the occupants, including the drivers, were swerving and d dgmg to get their own blasts off with the water guns. This kin 1 <f play an! driving do not mix. The heavy influen .■ of driving around in the mil ler weather resulted in several acrid nts this past w. k on i and nior< good weather will bring more traveling around. Also one must be aware of the little children that happily play outside again, often without < mtm as thei an enjoying the spring atm sphere. It only takes a second 1 >r a child to d irt in front »f a moving vehi< b‘ < basin .: a t til, playing tag or in some other form of games that can be fatal. This puts < xtra pressure on any driver, keep.ng alert to help the youngsters in th l responsibility th> y often do n< t know. Spring is wonderful, but it al » can be dangerous. USe caution and care in seeing that you and your loved ones as well as anyone else ynu mi'-ht encounter. can live to enjoy another spring and not be victim of a foolish spring accident.

Orders are out for our spring offensive, our great war production drive. Thii the only kind of offensive which in the lofl* run can whip <»ur enemies, is threatened by just one dancer. That dartgar is disunity and mutual distrust, the sort of disunity and distrust which has won Axis victories before this. Denali M Nelson, WTB chairman, wumod, last week that the Axis “would use every argument to spread doubt and confusion, disconti nt and mistrust,” added his conviction that Americans “wall pull together, not apart." Mr Nelson was speaking primarily to the men of niai age-rm-nt and the m» n of labor whoS" selfless teamwt rk is necessary if we are to get tools, get th" u apons with which to but Hitler and Hirohtio and Benito, the Bungler.

feet The oil and gas well is th* only one in the vicinity, but its production entitles it to distinction as Roxana's major industry. Although production is curtailed, the well’s output has already been 500.000 barrels of oil 80V.000.U00 cubic feet of gas and 1.000.000 gallons of gasoline taken from the gas by means ut tin absorption process. Toothpicks In Demand. Toothpicks may be social outlaws, but every year their production increasos by millions, says a Chicago manufacturer of the Walden slivers. However, the whirls us the toothpick in« dustry are not kept running to supply the use for which they were originally intended. It la such things as using them to teach the baby to count, sticking three-decker ^indwlcbwi together and restoring to toothpicks when the poker chips run out that boosts production.
