Nelson Joins Navy, Re-

The lure of the movies Is nothing

sent in his resignation to the New

information that he is going to join
the navy.
Nelson has taken his preliminary

Training A Nation

When we speak Of being in Gov.

thousands Of soldiers who afe being

pie who are in service, who are be-

war! The American people as a
whole must serve, there is no exemp-
ton. Uncle Sam needs you and I
to fight along with the soldiers. He
needs the support Of the tiny tot,
Of the veteran too old to bear arms.
But like the boys in khaki, we too,
must be trained to serve-like them
we must change our mode of living,
we must serve with time, money and

Mr.. H. K. se..zer, vice-president
and general manager Of the Union
Bridge and Construction Company,
Shipbuilding for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, stated before
meeting of citizens recently that
more than 500 men are now employ
ed at the shipyard here and that
two Or three hundred more men will
oe put to work in the near future.
Most Of the available local men have
been employed and many men from
other states and communities. Prac-
tically all Of those still to come will
be from distant points. Morgan City
is now filled up with people. There
are no vacant residences, the hotels
and boarding houses have about all
they can handle in transient and
regular custom, the available rooms
seem to be filled. What is going to
be done with those still to come?
Berwick has vacant houses and it is
to be expected that many of the
Union Bridge employees will domi-
cile there. However, this will not
relieve conditions in Morgan City
ror will it capply houses which are
necessary for the city to maintain its
development. Several property own
ers have discussed building and ex-
pcct to begin building soon but in
order to take care Of the situation
many owners of vacant lots will
have to get busy. 1t is now conced-
ed by men who look ahead that the
cheapest time for improvement dur
ing ten years or more to come is just
1T this time.

Three Italian armies got across the

The whole experience of the Austrian
army in this war has been that the
very diverse elements of which 1t is
composed did not hold well together un-
der the strain of defeat and the offer
of the Austrian Government to break OF
from Germany and negotiate at once

troops to resist to the last therefore
