DPA To Operate In Georgia As One Unit The Atlanta District Office of OPA will assume the duties of the Savannah Office, begin¬ ning Dec- 15, it was announced by OPA officials in Atlanta this week- The latter office is being closed in line with national pol¬ icy to bring the agency’s oper¬ ations within budget limitat¬ ions and because of reductions in certain rationing programs. Four of the district offices in the Southeast and forty in the entire nation are also being consolidated, it was stated; the district offices to remain being selected on the basis of pop¬ ulation and business concetra- tration, as well as geograph¬ ical locaation. OPA’s intensified fight a- gainst any hrends toward in¬ flationary prices will not be affected by this action, the spo¬ kesman said- Instead, he pre¬ dicted that price, rent, endorce would be strengthened under this new centralized set up, which will be completed by Jan- 15- Many of the trained employ¬ ees of the Savannah District will be transferred to the At¬ lanta Office.

Signal Corps Photograph Here against the rugged background of Southern Italy, a radar silently probes the sky for errant units of the Luftwaffe. Known to the War Department as an “early warning” radar, this equipment helped us to blunt the violence of the enemy's air attack at the very peak of its power early in the war. Thousands of these radars have been manufactured by the Western Electric Company. t Like a seeing-eye dog guiding his blind master through a maze of traffic, the sixth sense of radar will reduce travel hazards for man in the peacetime world. By putting a deadly finger on enemy ships, planes and submarines, radar hastened the end of the war. This same uncanny power to see the invisible promises to make peacetime air and sea travel en¬ tirely foolproof, regardless of night or weather. Safety for ships and planes is one immediate application for this new pathfinder. Innumerable other uses are sure to flower from the knowledge born of thousands of manhours devoted to radar re¬ search during the war. In the amazingly rapid development of radar, the Bell Telephone System assumed the role of “the Nation’s largest single source of radars during the war.” Up to June 30, 1945, West¬ ern Electric, the manufacturing branch branch of of the the Bell Bell System, System, had had supplied to the Government more 64 than 52,900 radar systems of different types, valued at more than $800,000,000, according to Mr. Walter S. Gifford president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. With the aid of hundreds of sub-contractors to which it provided specifications and details of manufacturing procedure, Western Electric has supplied more radars—all of them of Bell Laboratories design—than any other manufacturer. Bell Laboratories has had a larger group of scientists and en¬ gineers than any offier industrial organization workinp throughout the war in advancing the radar science and in designing new radars for the army and navy. The laboratories led the way also in volume of radar designs and Stop Look Listen For Trains Or Else If you don’t STOP!

During the first nine months of 1945 1,276 persons lost their lives in such accidents- This is an increase of 44 over the 1,232 reported in the same 1944 period. Persons injured in such mis¬ haps during the nine-month pe¬ riod of this year numbered 2,859, compared with 2,743 in the same months last year, an increase of 1166. turned homefrom a visit to her brother in Cleveland, Tenn.

In all, the labora¬ tories scientists and engineers have designed some 100 different radars for use by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps in all fields of application. Laboratories and The Bell Western Electric together have had substantially full responsibil¬ ity for development and produc¬ tion of radars for Navy ship gunfire control. All large guns of the U. S. Navy are pointed by radars designed and produced by the two organizations. designed and Radar systems research made by the Bell System and manufacturing team have been standard for B-29’s in the Pacific for navigation, tafget lo¬ cation and high altitude bombing. In addition, the Bell System developed and produced low alti¬ tude radar bombsights used ex¬ tensively by the Army and Navy in attacking enemy shipping.* Electric ^°™ paI ? :y ^ I Western reached j | yearly output of radars a record high of . 2 , These units, together with _ com¬ _____ ponents, spare parts and test equipment, were furnished at a value of $340,000,000—an amount equal to almost a million dollars for each day of the year. This rec¬ ord was greatly exceeded during the first six months of 1945, when Western Electric turned out 19,- 800 radars. Because of urgent require¬ ments of the Armed Forces the Bell Laboratories in 1944 was at work on 81 different types of radar systems and Western Elec¬ tric produced 44 different types, of which 20 were new in produc¬ tion that year.

Or by what means to Thee reveal A tithe of all we think and feel? Dear Lord, we have so much to say To Thee on this Thanksgiving Day, So much the heart cannot con¬ fess, Burdened with tongue-tied thankfulness.

We thank Thee that the throb¬ bing war-drums cease, And in the vast communion of The dead * Men may breathe deep the clean sweet air of peace, And bless and break the bread- We thank Thee for the great de¬ liverance From evil, for the flags of bat¬ tle furled In solemn splendor for the gol¬ den chance To build a braver world. We thank Thee for the bond of peril shared With free men of all faiths- Dear God, we pray That fellowship of stout deeds done and daTed Shall never pass away. We thank Thee, Lord, for our heroic youth Who, in Thy name, their bright abundance gave: Thy Son, for the same eter¬ nal Truth, mankind from the grave. cleanse our souls of cold corroding hate, Lest, flushed with triumph and inflamed with pride, We cancel out the hopes and and desecrate The dreams for which they died- Full well Thou knowest we ac¬ knowledge Thee, kneel at home, and praise Thy hand afar, hast established us in vic¬ tory And lit the evening star.
