mental to the best interests of the wo-
men workers of the state; that it in
terfefes with the maximum produc-
ton of supplies. and is detrimental to
the prosecution OF the war program.

Cove Comments

According to all accounts the
moving picture men missed a.
nice little scene the other day at
Cove dock. The principals in
the comedy were John Dahl,
Cove's ancient citizen, and two
junk men. John had made a
deal to dispose of an old separa-
tor, and was in the act of trans.
ferring same from his boat to
that OF the junSer. The separa
tor was nicely balanced between
the two boats and all hands
hanging on. After having done
its duty as a separator of milk,
! it now separated the boats. The
space gradually widened between
the boats; John let 20 and the
other two held on, and both the
iunkers took header in the
brinyf and became separated
from the separator; but later the
separation became union when
lit was tished from the bottom.

genial storekeeper, T A. Peter,
son, would be emulating the ayi.
