They believed that if Germany could be thoroughly suppressed and its warmaking power destroyed, such terrible events could be stopped, or at least that the wars of the fu- ture would be small and minor ones. They entered that conflict With high hopes and a kind of religious fervor. They were in- dignant at the actions of Ger- many in invading neutral Bel- gium, and in sinking ships on Which Americans were traveling• The actions of Germany in that war were thoroughly bad and deserved the excerations of mankind. Those outrages of our enemy were comparatively mild When we consider the terrible outrages committed by Ger- many in the present war, the massacres of countless numbers of civilians, the execution of in- nocent hostages for crimes they did not commit, and the plun- dering of conquered nations and THE GOLDEN VALLEY NEWS CONSERVING CARS Americans are taking better care of their cars than ever. It's a wise course to follow with no new automobiles available andI mechanics.repair shops ' unable to hire Motorists who formerly were l wont to trade in the old bus for a new one when the original tires showed wear now strive to keep their machines constantly in trim. They prefer to keep their own machines in good con- dition rather than be forced to buy a worn-out jalopy at a later date. • Greasing racks, as a result, are more crowded than formerly. General overhaul jobs are more common. Sticky valves and mo- tor ping--attributed to less and slower burning and lower grade fuels--add to the garage over- load. Reports from principal cities in the East, the Middle West, and the Far West all reveal gar- ages so inundated with work that many jobs are turned down, and repairs that are not so ur- gent are undertaken only on ap- pointment, which may be weeks in the future• Only in the east- ern area was there indication that severe gasoline rationing had curbed car use so drastically that the repair business was ifi a decline. Drivers who wish to keep their cars clean and shiny are doing more washing and polishing themselves, as the garages simp- ly do not have the manpower available to devote time to such chores. Neither can they send out for and deliver cars as they did in the days of "super ser- vice." If the car can reach the repair shop under its own power, the owner generally is told to bring it himself.

"How true that is, Herb. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why, at a tifne like this, some folks insist on raising a ques- tion like prohibition. I can't imagine any- thing that would tickle our enemies more than to get us folks over here taking sides against each other, arguing about an issue like that. We've got a he-man's job on our hands to win this war and we can't be wasting our minds, our money and our strength fighting about something we tried for nearly 14 years and found couldn't work, "I say there's a time and a place for everything, and this is no time or place to be.doing any fightin' except the kind that's going to win the war.'"
