CHAPTER VII.
Rations.

Just doing off; Mr.. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In Tommy's eyes lance corporal Is
one degree below private. In the
corporaTs eyes he is one degree above
a general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days rations,
also told me to take my waterproof.
Every evening from each platoon or
maChine-gon section, lance corporal
and private go to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw ratlons for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant is called receives daily from
the orderly room Captains oflice) n
slip showing the number of men en-
titled n ratiOns, so there is no chance
of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
quarter" and the platoon noncom. but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the "quarter' got his job because
he was burglar in civil life.
Then I spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the ratlonS on it.
The corporal was smoking n fag. l
carried the ratiOns back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking a flag.
How envied him. But when the Issue
commenced my envy died. and l real
lied that the first requisite of a nom
commissioned officer on active service
Is diplomacy. There were 10 men in
our section, and they soon formed n
semiClrcle around us after the corporal
had called out, "Ratlons up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given slip to the corporal on which
was written list of the ratlons. Sit
ting on the floor, using wooden box
as a table, the issue commenced. On
the left of the corporal the ratlons
were piled. They consisted of the fol-
lowing:
Six loaves of fresh bread, each loaf
of different size, perhaps one out Of
the six being as fiat as pancake, the
result of an army service corps man
placing a box of bully beef on it dur
ing transportation.

August 1st to 10th, and only six dollars
for ten days outing, boys IL and under
l6 years of age. Already several boys
have signed up.
Let US not think on account of war
we must do away with our recreation
activities. English authority has lately
pointed out the Generalization to boys
and girls caused by breaking down Of
clubs and the withdrawal to the army
of recreation leaders, and he has traced
much of the increase in juvenile delin-
quency in England to the chaos in rec
reation activities which has prevailed
since the war.
This is a good time to remind our
selves that the continuance and devel-
opment of all kinds of innocent and
healthful recreation in every commu-
nifty offer call to patriotic service for
many who cannot go to the front. The
strain and anxiety which are certain
to grow in this country for an indef-
mite period ahead of US needs to be
counterbalanced by greater communi-
ty effort to provide opportunity for
wholesome play.
Boys wishing to attend camp send q

u. S. Employment Service.

The government has recently estab-
lished in Port Huron branch office or
the U. 5. Employment Service, the main
object of which is to procure labor for
the various munition plants, shipyards
and farms throughout the country.
However, the Service is open to any
and all employers of labor and to seek
ers of work and is free to all.
1t is the aim of the department OF
labor to equallze the supply through
out the country, so that communities
which are short of help will be supplied
through this department with labor
from communities which have a sur
plus.
The Office in Port Huron will have
direct control of the labor situation in
Macomb, St. Clair, Lapeer, Sanilac and
Huron counties, and the examiners In
charge urge all employers of labor to
communicate their needs, and every
effort of the department will be bent
toward procuring the necessary labor
Immediately. All men, women, boys
and girls who are not now employed to
the best advantage should also commu-
nicate with the Office so they may be
placed on the register and given the
first advantage of positions now open.
1t is not the desire or intention of the
department to recruit labor, either
skilled or unskilled, that Is now engag-
ed in manufacture or farm work, but
on the contrary it is the desire of the
department to stop this "poaohing.'
At the present time there is q great
scarcity of labor in the various factor
les and on farms throughout this dis
trict, and several men and women could
be placed Immediately.
So, Mr.. Workman, not now engaged,
register at once, and Mr.. Manufactur-
er and Farmer we urge you to commu-
nicate at once with the Office in Port
Huron, stating your requirements, the
wages you will pay and the hours Of
labor, addressing your letter to Mr..
Frank O'Hara, examiner in charge, U.
S. Employment Service, 905 Sixth-st
