WASHINGTON OPP - Abolition
of the 40-hour work week ceiling i:
being pushed upon American officials
by British representatives concerned
with the amount Of material being
furnished Britain, it was reported
here November 5.
The British, as represented by Sir
Walter Layton, secretary of the Brit
ish purchasing commission, contend
that the U. S. cannot arm both the
u. S. and Britain without some sacri-
flee of the amenities of ordinary life. ="
Layton's concern was expressed as
long ago as October II in speech
to the Associated Industries of Mass
achusetts meeting in Boston. Lord
Lothian, British ambassador, was to
have attended the meeting but he left
Unexpectedly efor Britain.
Layton cited the frightening of
hours and Sunday work in Brjatin and
said that Americas resources are
vast but great enough though they
may be, this double task will require
unusual measures and some Interior
ence with the ordinary economic proc
esses.
II can conceive that you could give
very powerful assistance to Great
Britain without interfering seriously
with your ordinary economy but cam
not believe that you will be able to
carry out both your own defense pro-
gram and give us the aid we need
without some sacrifice of the amen
ties of ordinary life" he added.
The labor policy adopted by the
National Defense Advisory Commits
zion provides that Sin emergencies or
where the needs of national defense
otherwise be met, exceptions |

George Happier, district office

the Granville inn course recent
ly, and lost his watch during the
play. Speaking of looking for
the prOverbial needle in the
haystack,' George would be just
the man. Lying in bed that
night he played the game over
and over again in his mind. The
next morning he could not resist
the temptation to go out to the
course and make a search for his
watch-in spite of those acres
and acres of ground he found it
with minimum effort.

the Newark school band receiv-
ed very favorable comments
from the sports commentators
of radio station WHIZ. Start
ing in regular marching order,
members of the band split up to
form the outline of the map of

assumed places within the

sight, and fully appreciated.

which tipped the government
scales at Az pounds. ''Shan"
claimed he has no intention of
pulling a brisbane" and claims
the freak is not crossed with
turnips, rutabagas or any other
vegetable of like caliber. 'In
fact" said Mr.. LOughman, eff
my garden hadn't been so
crowded with other vegetables,
there is no doubt the radish
would feally nave ndu CHdnCc

Falcons to End
Season Saturday

Coach John Dromo's six-man
football team of ST. Francis de
Sales school, came through the
season to date with the enviable
record of five wins and one loss.
The last game of the season
will be played Saturday, Nov. g.,
with Alexandria, as a prelimin-
ary to the Denison-Oberlin game
at Deeds field.
This is the first season that
six man football has been intro
duced in Newark, and Coach
Dromo and the Falcons have
hung up an excellent record.
The team scored 210 points to
its opponents 80, or an average
of AZ points to the oppositions'
13.
Mike Massaro who has done
most of the kicking has made
good 10 out of 16 drop kicks
during the games played, while
Stevens and Reid have shared
honors with him, carrying the
ball an average of Z yards on
each play.
Massaro has also heaved the
pigskin for twenty touchdowns.
Stevens is the leading scorer
with so points, Massaro next
with Al and Reid third, with
total of 40 points to his credit.
Massaro and Stevens will be
lost to the team next year, but
Coach Dromo is confident that
with the material at hand that
he will have a winning aggre-
cation with which to enter next
years competition.
