Halloween Carnival.

One of the most enjoyable occasions
of the week was the Halloween Carnival
sponsored by the Girl Reserves of West
High School. There was fun and merry
making in all of the gaily decorated
booths. Unusual freaks were to be seen
such as the Swinging Match" Tooth
less Mother" and Fountain of Youth.
In dark room the weird story was told
of a man who lost his life on Halloween
and the parts of his body were display
ed. There were several good fortune
telers on hand for the occasion. Bob
bing for apples proved to be very in
teresting for both young and old. Pin
ming the tail on the black cat was
another interesting game. A prize
was given to the best costumed person
which was won by Miss Catherine
Crisler, a typical ghost. In spite of
the rain, the Halloween Carnival was
a great success.

AS We mentioned previously, the
luxurious and intricate Western
Pacific is always full loaded with
fuel and bait outward bound, with
fish when homeward bound. And
by loaded we mean that she's so
deep in the water her main deck
is constantly under water few
inches and awash.
Reason for that Is the method
of catching the tuna. Steel graf
ings. called simply racks, are at
tached to the outside of her bull
warks at deck level. On these the
Western Pacific's IL fishermen
stand = boots and oilskins - and
fish with pole. line and hook.
Their shoulders only a couple of
feet apart, they heave the tuna
out of the water and over their
right shoulder to the deck for later
stowage. To keep from hooking
themselves and brethren with the
wicked hooks they use. a good
fisherman just flicks his own
cheek with the tail of the fish as
he lands it.
The hooks they use are of two
kinds-a squid, a tricky little CAD
get of steel. brass, dogskin and
white feathers; hook. minus the
feathers. which is used with bait
when the tuna won't strike the
squid lure. Neither have barbs.
30 the fish will fall off onto the
deck.

BLASTS SLUR
AT ROOSEVELT

The sudden interest of a number of
people in the matter of jim-crowism in
the Army and Navy is thinly-dis-
guised political gesture that will fool
nobody. Let some honest, earnest effort
against jim-crowism in any form come
to light, and Massachusetts people,
white and colored, Democratic and Re
publican, will rally behind it,.
This terse comment was made this
week by Silas F. Taylor, State Chair
man Of the Colored Democratic forces,
as he scored the attempts of certain
people to use the serious matter of
army and navy segregation as a selfish
means to try to draw people into their
own narrow political camps.
every sincere American wants to
see absolute fairness in all of the coun-
try's defense forces", DR.. Taylor said.
"But is there anyone so naive that he
believes it will come out of idle cam
paign gestures, gestures made by peo-
pie who in the same breath declare
themselves for parties and people
thoroughly known to stand for one
hundred percent jim-crowism?"
The fight against segregation in the
army and navy has been simmering for
some months, and broke into the head
lines last week when it was opportune-
ly used to discredit the New Deal adj

keep HONEST
men in OFFICE

Massachusetts stands as an outstand-
ing example of what can be accom-
plished in the short time of two years
when men of integrity are given public
trust by the electorate. A reduced state
debt, elimination of graft, no payroll
no pardon scandal-that
is the record of the present admins
tration.
Massachusetts needs Saltonstall, Ca
hill, Parkman, and the rest of the Re
publican ticket that good government
might be continued. The state belongs
to its citizens and they have every right
to demand that its government be kept
in the hands of men who will keep it
clean and free of corruption.
In the election of Wendell L. Will
kie, as president we may expect the
same honesty in our Federal Govern
ment. Willkie on many occasions has
stated his stand in this respect. This

With this in mind. officials OF
the Draft Board started CONVERSE

boards to be set up throughout
the country clearing houses tc

Shortage OF Workers
Told that there would be crit.
ical shortage OF skilled workers.
draft board officials are formulat-
ing regulations that would allow
the placing OF skilled workers in
defense industries in special
group that may never be called up
for the compulsory years military
training.
Even unemployed men. who for
merly were skilled workers. may
be guided into defense jobs rather
than being sent into the Army, It
was disclosed.
Under the plan, men OF draft age
will be asked about present EN-
ployment and past jobs when they
are classified. Meanwhile. Army
and Navy procurement authorities
will keep the National Draft Board
advised OF shortages of skilled
labor as they occur. The word
would be relayed to the local
boards. Then II local boards had
such skilled workers on their lists
it would be possible TO guide them
to jobs rather than rush them off
into the Army.
Thus, a former toolmaker who
drifted to Iowa and is now unem-
ployed might be guided to work in
New York state machine gun fac
tory.
A policy soon TO be published by
the National Draft Board will
state:
THE greatest national need is
material procurement. Where the
two requirements conflict, con-
scription and production. produc-
ton should have priority"

that there would be approximately
