WHAT'S IT LIKE? The North African desert where the ferocious fighting is now going on Isn't desert in the sense of the Sahara miles and miles of sand and dunes. It is more like the rugged Arizona-New Mexico va-; Ticty with gravel, sharp escarpments several hundred feet high, deep gulleys gouged by whistling winds and torrential rains. Air power there will be more decisive than any other one factor. PRODUCTION U.S.A.

isn't doing badly. We aione are producing more fighting aircraft tlian Germany right now we'll noon equal German and Italian production combined. Battleship Indiana was launched six months ahead of schedule. Cargo vessels are now being produced in just about one-half World War time. A New Haven factory which did not exist one year ago has just completed its 50-caliber machine gun, which is exactly two and one-half times the contract rate of production.

AIRCRAFT The British have brought out a new model Hurri-can fighter plane with four cannon on it the darn thing can 'sink small torpedo boats with its fire. The first new Nazi model out is a new Focke-Wulf fighter which can get up to 000 feet and will do 370 miles an hour at about 20,000 feet. The Spitfire, the new 2000 Hawker and several of our American fighters can match that performance and are more heavily armed in addition.

TO KEEP PLANT OPEN "Wherever nossihip wp want to keep the plant's equipment running at capacity and preserve the labor force which has learned to work as a producing unit. "If we can switch a factory's equipment and labor force to de fense production, we not only increase Southern California's contribution to the national defense effort, but we also prevent im pairment of plant equipment for production in the post-defense period." If it should be impossible to absorb a plant's equipment and labor force in defense nrodurtion the committee would attempt to nnct jobs tor tne skilled labor force in factories having defense contracts, it was pointed out.

WHITCOMB BROI GHER There is an. ancient story of 10 men being healed of leprosy and only one thanked his Benefactor.

The other nine went on their way without expressing any appreciation. One grateful man out of 10. Is that the proportion today? I am inclined to think it is. To be thankful one must be thlnkful. Too many are thoughtless and indifferent.

This spirit-is found in the home. Children are not grateful for the good things parentprovide for them. Parents find fault, and scold the children instead of praising their good qualities and actions. I A boy was mowing the lawn. A neighbor passed and asked, "What does your father give you for cutting the lawn?" The boy replied, "He doesn't give me anything, but if I don't do it he gives me the devil." Let us cultivate the habit of appreciating the little blessings of life and expressing our gratitude for the.m in word and action.
