President Signed Bill
For Speedup of Con-
stl'uction of so Warships

President Roosevelt on Monday
signed legislation to speedup work
on our defense program, which
would make possible an immediate
order to start work on fifty: new
warships. At the same time cob
sumers started doing their bit by
paying higher taxes on luxuries,
under a new order which went in
to effect on July list.
Under the law, which is to re-
main in effect for three years, the
President in times of national
emergency may increase weekly
working hours in shipyards above
48, employees to receive not less
than time-and-one-half for over
time, and thereby cut the compile
ton time Of ships by an anticipat-
ed 20 percent.
Also, the secretary of the navy
may negotiate contracts for con-
struction of naval vessels or air
craft, equipment and machine
tools, without competition to save
time otherwise consumed in adver-
Using for bids.
Intensive specialized training be-
gan for selected army officers and
men. Numerous reserve officers,
mostly youthful lieutenants, report
ed for active duty with troops, and
long-deferred promotions took eff
feet for hundreds of regular army
officers.
At the same time, new funds be-
came available for the purchase of

Bryant Library Now On
Summer Hour Schedule
Reading Program
Interest High In Third
Annual Offering

Summertime doesn't divorce Sank
Centre youths from all contact
with books.
With interest running high, the
third annual summer reading pro-
gram at the Bryant Library, de-
signed to stimulate student inter-
est in books the year round, closed
the first month of the three months
period with circulation that bids
fair to claim this year as the big
gest
In this "best read city for it's
size in the state" (last year the
library's more than 10000 cir
culation was the biggest in the
state for cities in its claSs),
youth was carrying on this
summer with an unofficial tab
ulatiOn Of 100 books read and
reported on for the month Of
June. The figure is excluding
any other circulation for the
month.
The figure shows, Miss Bernice
Finnegan, librarian, reported, that
the circulation in the program for
the first month alone is already
at the halfway mark of last sum-
mer's entire circulation for the pro-
gram. Nearly 300 students regis
tered for the summer reading a
year ago read 2414 books in the
three months period.
This strengthening gain over
any other year in the program was
not laid entirely to student love
for books or early results of train
ing. Its probably due to lot
of weather." Miss Finnegan said.
With cool days and plenty of rainy
ones throughout the month, stu
dents have come to the library
frequently.
Breakdown of the tabulation
shows that bulk of the reading is
being done by students from the
Bird to the 5th grades. Their great
er interest is held as the success
Of the program for it's at those
early ages that the habit for books
is formed, she pointed out. Large
percentage of the months figure
is accounted for by st. Paul's
school students, she said.
Briefly the program is setup
with books lists approved by the
teachers from which students Sc
lect books to read during the sum-
mer. Those who read required
number, arbitrarily set according
to their age group, receive q read
ing certificate. The two who read
the most are presented a Junior
Literary Guild Book as a perman-
ent award.
Aid to the library's usual sum-
mer circulation doldrums, when the
city packs up, goes out Of doors
and forgets its reading for a quar-

Sank Centre Took

Sank Centre added to it's laurels

crossed home plate with four runs.
Willard countered with one score

quadrupled and the volume of
production increased about
elevenfold
"At present, employment is
more nearly normal in those in
dustries that are higly mechanic
ed, whereas unemployment is the
greatest in lines where machinery
plays a relatipely small part"
It's been said before, but it's
all-too-frequently forgotten and
needs saying again, as shortly as
possible: Sometimes machines do
take away individual jobs. But in
the end, they create far more jobs
by making it possible to sell the
product at lower price and the
enemies of the machine fail to
look at this long-term actuality.

Friend Or Enemy?

Have you ever heard the same
person described by both a friend
and an enemy? It's more than
likely that, if you didn't happen
to know who was being talked
about, you wouldn't recognize
that it was the same person.
Well, the machine is like a
human being in that respect. Its
enemies say it's an inhuman
monster, taking away far more
Jobs than it ever provided. And
they are so vehement in their ac-
cusations that most of us. in spite
of the fact that our own jobs are
probably made possible by ma
chinery, wonder if there may not
be something to their claims.
So every once in awhile it is a
good idea to take fresh look at
the whole iong-term picture in
order to see exactly how beneh-
cial machinery has been.
A recent issue of the New
England News Letter" provides
just such a viewpoint. Let's listen
lin on what it has to say for a
moment:
"The machine,' it points out
"creates many more jobs than il
destroys. The number of persons
employed directly and indirectly
in the automobile industry to,
day, for instance, is about SIX
times as many as the peak EN-.
ployment in the horse and buggy
industry, including the related
lines of activity. 1t is estimated
that over four-iifths of the inven.
tons do not displace labor, but
are used to lower costs and by
thus broadening the markets pro
wide increased employment.
IF the contention were true
that new mechanical defice:
cause chronic unemployment,the
in each succeeding decade ;
smaller percentage of the popula
ton would be gainfully employed

Prague. New statistics on Czech
education in the Protectorate Bo-
hemia and Moravia indicate that
Czech high school education is
being developed and featured on
a very high level. A total of 2ll
Czech high schools are in full
operatios; the largest one, the
Reallgymnasium at Prague, has
1919 students, the smallest one,

of 2ll Czech high schools for the
Czech people of the Protectorate,

compares very favorably with the
ratio of school and population

developed education systems.
