Said Black: “If a man wrecks his car, we can pay the money loss, but we can't put up a new car in his garage. “If his house burns down, we can spare him a crippling loss, but we can't rebuild his home until after the war is over “If a man is injured on the job, we can pay his hospital and doctor bills. We can make good his lost income. But we can't fill his place on America's production line.” That covers it. Lost raw materials through carelessness and accidents are far more damaging to the war effort than the failure of a scrap drive. Because of priorities, lost products can't be replaced. And with the manpower problem becoming acute, the loss of more than a million and quarter man-hours s day is a product of carelessness this country no longer can afford D ACA PLANES KEPT BUSY OVER SUNDAY Passengers for Juneau from Sitka with Alaska Coastal Airlines late aturday were Mrs. Earl Miller, Making a round trip from Juneau | Walter Bindseil 2 tires, 2 tubes; to Excursion Inlet Sunday with ACA | Hildre & Son 4 tires, 2 tubes; Lloyd were James W.
