Professional Men Work As
Common LabOrers.
Offer Themselves for Night Work in
War Industries of Coatesville,
Pa. and Score Big Success.


War Industries of Coatesville,
Pa, and Score Big Success.
Professional and business men of
Coatesville, Pa, have demonstrated
their devotion to their country's cause
by going at night into the war-indus-
tries plants of the city to unload coal
cars, load fire brick, shovel rubbish
from blast furnaces and operate punch
presses. The service was organized by
the local Employment Service office
and started operations with 81 doctors,
lawyers, preachers, bankers, clerks,
newspaper men and others. It's per-
sonnell was enlarged, as result of its
initial success, to include all available
men in the city not already working
with their hands.
The Information and Education
Service, Department of Labor, is in
formed that the general superintend-
ent of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Co. has declared that, besides the in
valuable aid the professional men have
given by their actual labor, they also
have rendered very great corollary
benefit to the plant by stimulating the
interest of the regular workers, who
in many instances have volunteered
for overtime work in order to help
keep the output up to maximum.

Friends !

Sometimes we read about friends that
are true,
Sometimes we thing that our own are
true blue,
Yet all of us know they are wonder
fully few
The kind that will always be true to
you.
In times of success they will stand
around thick,
And the less we need them the closer
they'll stick;
Should adversely come and your poor

You'll find there are few who would
loan you a shirt.

his experiences to a Central News

right into the harbor and then the
place suddenly became alight with
star shells.
Looming big ahead OF us was a
German destroyer. We put on full
speed ahead and rammed her amid
ships. cutting her in half. AS she
sank we steamed alongside the mole
quickly, put u gangways and rush
ed on to the mole. 1t was raining
hard.
"a German came out Of the semi
darkness and lunged at our nearest
man. Dur captain knocked him on
the head with his trucheon and he
sank down dead.
Next we saw another German de-
Estroyer, tied up on the other side OF
the mole. This we destroyed. We
knocked on the head all who at
tempted to oppose our progress. Then
came an order to charge along the
mole. We rushed ahead, bayonetting
or shooting all we came across.
by this time we we're fairly mad
and in high glee. The noise OF the
firing. mingling Of the shots and cries
Of the men was terrifying. 1t was
slaughter"
The marine said that when the or
der came to return to the ship they
retraced their steps along the mole.
