We are going win some smashing victories hke those at Midway Island and Coral seas and you people are going to help us. We are going to drop more bombs on Tokyo and more bombs on Berlin. And you people are going to help. "It is because we are so confident of your help and so grateful for the help already given us that we are today giving you this army- navy production board award. When this banner flies above your plant you should feel a thrill of pride in past accomplishments.

When you wear the army-navy emblem on your breast with its silver for excellence, wear it with a feeling of pride. "In a way it is a military decoration bestowed upon you for unusual devotion to duty. It is an. award for distinguished service as truly as if you were on the fighting instead of the production line. Wear it with pride and dignity.

"Remember that free labor will win this war and that you are fortunate to be Americans and to be free. When another six months have rolled around the Guy P. Harvey Son Co. will be up for consideration for a six months star to be added to the army-navy production award banner. We hope you will be able to win that second decoration in six months and every six months until the -war is over."

Harvey Son and its employes my most hearty congratulations for the very signal honor this great organization has brought to Leominster. "The award to the Guy P. Harvey Son of the army-navy pennant for excellence in the manufacture of complicated dies vital to the prosecution of the war is indicative of the fine co-operative spir-it and labor given by the employes of this great concern to its management. In accepting the award Wilfred G. Harvey, vice-president and general manager, said in part: "The entire personnel of our organization has fought this war together from our machines, work benches, desks and homes without any thought of sparing personal sacrifice or weariness.

Men have gone days without sleep and weeks without rest just to insure their cog being in place when our great machine -of democracy called for it. "The management of our company wishes to express its overwhelming gratitude to each and every man and woman in our organization for iheir invaluable aid and cooperation. Your true patriotism has been an inspiration that we shall never forget. This has been proven in the past by you being the first group to go over the top in voluntary purchase of war bonds and now by the Army-Navy production award. This is your hour of triumph and you deserve every bit of it From this day on you shall each wear the military decoration of excellence." Eugene Lapalme speaking for the employes said: "la behalf of the employes of the Guy P.

Harvey Son, I wish to thank most sincerely the war department for their symbol of achievement in this war production. It is la symbol which we are tsroud of as "I believe it is the only military decoration given to Building Figure Hits A New Low Jan. 22--Building restrictions and shortages cut deeply into new construction and alterations and repairs to buildings, according to the annual report of Emile S. Dargis, building inspector. The total estimated value of permits issued in 1942 was $204,871.

The previous year the valuation was estimated at $340,525. Building activities during 1942 were less than half of the previous year as Mr. Dargis issued only 205 permits while in 1941 there were 431 permits issued. The building operations at the duPont plant started last year prevented a drop below the $100,000 mark. Mr.

Dargis issued nine permits for manufacturing property, mostly at the duPont plant, with a valuation of $127,530. New dwellings tumbled from a total of $130,700 in 1941 to a new low of $13,185 in 1942, said Mr. Dargis in his report Apparently a num- ber of people in Leominster have decided to ki-ep hens in an effort to combat the high cost of living for Mr. Dargis issued 18 permits for poultry houses at a valuation of $3035 during the year.
