V_NOTES
I have just received a
wire stating there will be
no more tractors on rubber
tires for the duration.While
Outside I attempted to work
out a deal so that we could
obtain these on rubber due
to our condition here of each
tractor working several farms
and consequently lots of road
work. But so far have been
unsuccessful.
We have installed a new
air whistle which will be
used instead of the steam
whistle for fires, blackout,
and air raids. This was
done to eliminate the confu

there is not enough steam to
blow the steam whistle. Also
there will be one change in
the signal: the all-clear
or fire-out will be one long
instead of five long, as we
cannot carry eir pressure
for the longer signals.
AIR RAID WARNINGS

in confidential bulletins
and contacts. No use to get
panicky - but on the other
hand plenty of adjustments
will have to be made in our
everyday living. Quoting
one source, "If we want to
get along without any head
aches or troubles, go back
to the living standard of 50
years ago. It may become
necessary to make dandles,to
build fireplaces, use wood
stoves, make our living on
