Army Scholarships
Offered For 5000 In
Aerial Navigation

The War Department today sought
applicants for 1900 Army Aviation
Cadet scholarships in aerial naviga-
ton to be awarded in the next three
months.
In announcing the scholarship offer
at Fifth Corps Area Headquarters,
Fort Hayes, Columbus, o., officials
described it as "a wonderful oppor-
tunity for college men uninterested
in pilot training or unable to meet
pilot eyesight requirements"
Applicants may have eyesight as
poor as 20 40 if corrected to 20 20
by wearing glasses. They must be
single, male American citizens at
least 20 years old and not yet 27 who
have completed at least two years of
accredited college work including
plane geometry, algebra and tri-
gonometry.
Application may be made at any
Army Recruiting office in Ohio, Ken
lucky, West Virginia or Indiana,
through any Travelling Examining
Board or by writing direct to the Air
Officer, Fifth Corps Area Headquar-
ters, Fort Hayes, Columbus, O.
Navigation students, who fly but
who are classed as non-pilot special
lists, are paid the same as other avia-
ton cadets, drawing S105 monthly
plus equipment and lodging. Upon
graduation they are commissioned
second lieutenants in the Army Air
Force reserve and go on active duty
at salary Of s245 monthly, plus an
annual bonus of $500.
Heretofore navigation st d e n S
were selected largely from pilot can
didates who failed to make the grade.
They receive fve-week military
course, Is weeks in navigation, meter
ology and allied subjects and five
weeks in flexible gunnery.

approximately 100000 workers in the
plants investigated, in three there
were no women employed and in the
other four only a fraction Of one per
cent were women"
The report considers in detail en-
ployment possibilities for women in
each production process. The first
step in the manufacture of airplanes
is the cutting and forming of metal
parts to specified sizes and shapes
for the fuselage, control surfaces,
wings, cowling, etc. 1t is estimated
that 20 per cent Of this work could
be done by women. Many Of the
bench work jobs, such as pneumatic
drilling, burning, hand humping of
small parts over templates or wooden
blocks, are ideally suited to women.
The possibilities are drill press
work, which after a brief training
period could be done on at least one
half of the processes by women. Mill
ing machine operation is another pos
sibility. While some Of the work in
the fabrication and bench assembly
sections is technical and complicated,
most of it is the kind that women can
do very well.
Approximately 20 to 25 per cent of
the jobs in the fuselage assembly de-
partment can be performed by wom-
en- provided they are trained in rivet-
ing, which is the most common job
throughout assembly. Women could
do 35 per cent of the work on wings
and almost twice that percentage of
the work on control surfaces, and in
the final assembly they could do l5
per cent.
The keeping, routing and dispatch
ing of blueprints could be carried on
! by women, and also clerical work in
the charting, issuing of orders, and
checking the progress of component
parts and assemblies.

AFL Unit Protests
Pay Discrimination

Washington, d. c. Officials Of
metal trades unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor carried
a protest to Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox against the omission Of
some groups Of craftsmen in the
Navy Departments recent order in
creasing wages of workers in navy
yards on the West Coast
The wage adjustment put the basic
mechanics rates at S1.C6 to S1.1S an
hour, depending on classifcation-a
boost of six cents an hour. Those
earning above these scales were de-
MED a raise.
After hearing the A. F. of l.. pro-
test, Secretary Knox asked the unions
to submit data justifying an increase
for the workers in the higher
brackets, and he promised fair con-
sideration OF the evidence.

Trenton, N. Local Union No. 35
met last Monday with an attendance
of nearly 300. The shop committee ne
ported settlement on the kiln firing
question that had been hanging fire
for a long time. There are a few more
questions still to be settled, but prog
ress was reported on all.
This O. G. visited the new Lamber-
ton China plant that is being erected.
The new circular tunnel kiln is about
completed and the roofs are being put
on the new building Mr.. William
Scammell stated that if they can still
continue to get skilled building trades
men it won't be long before the plant
will be in operation.
How about the cost of living ?
Local 35's membership would like the
Executive Board to investigate and
ask for reopening of the agree
ment. In the Trenton districts, rent
and food have gone sky-high and are
still going. We would like to hear
from other locals on this subject.
Brother Mike Carolin went fishing
last week and took a suitcase and

FOR BETTER HOMEMAKING

With prices up and going up on
wool, winter blankets are made Of a
combination Of 500 rayon, 25fs each
of wool and cotton. The theory is
that the curliness Of the fiber is the
dominating factor in its warmth-giv-
ing ability, so that rayon fiber used
is CURED almost as tightly as wool.
The curliness of the fiber may dim
inish somewhat with washing, so it
is advisable to have the heavy blan-
kets dry cleaned These blankets feel
just as soft as the all-woolen ones,
and it would take a very practiced
tand to notice the difference. The
price is, of course, one of the main
attractions.

Strong Men Needed
BY FLORENCE JANE OVENS

There are many communities where
the good women have been trying for
years to put over a certain project,
and they can't quite do it. | refer to
the establishment of public school
kindergartens. 1t is an important
project with reference to defense.
Many people can't see this. But
you know that strong defense de-
pends on the solidarity of the people !;
solidarity depends on unity Of in
terests; unity of interests depends on
sympathetic understanding. 1t all
comes down to an attitude of mind.
Now attitudes, the psychologists say,
are formed during the early years of
childhood. Whether man will think
the way Adolph Hitler thinks or the
way Abraham Lincoln thought is
largely decided before he is six years
old. All the best educators tell US
that the methods used in good
kindergarten are the best that have
ever been devised for the develop
ment of desirable attitudes and habits.
So whether or not it seems sensible
to adopt the slogan "Kindergartens
for Defense" you can understand that
for the sake of the future of our de-
mocracy kindergartens should be pro-
vided. Nevertheless, in many COM
munities, only strong brave men can
bring this about. Mention the estab-
lishment of kindergarten and there
will arise a hue and cry about the ex-
pense. Although the expense is trif
ling as compared to the value, only d
few men will dare to say SOTO face
the opposers brayely and fight for the
children's right to this defense meas
ure. Yet we expect the boys who have
been drafted to learn to face oul
deadly enemies unfalteringly.
The National kindergarten Associa
ton, s West Fortieth street, New
York, will assist any group to get {
kindergarten opened in public
school. Advice, leaflets on kindergar
ten values, the use of a moving pic
ture film-"A Day in the Kinder
garten"-or prepared program fol
a meeting may be obtained on re
quest. There is no charge.
Our enlisted citizens had to leave
some responsibilities to us. Are there
not strong men left at home who will
render this service?

and his daughter had been telling me
about her successful entries in the
Junior Section of the Women's Fine
Arts Department at the Garfield
County Fair. 1t seemed to me that,
for girl of fifteen, Alice had accom-
plished a great deal.

just made one dress for myself with
the thought of entering it at the Fair.
Then, when l saw the premium list, l
found out l had some other things
that might be entered, too-a blouse
and an apron and little dress l had
made for Betty Anne. I won two first
and two second premiums. Weren't
we happy, Mother, when we saw those
red and blue ribbons on my things ?"
Alice asked her mother who had just
come into the room.
"Indeed we were," my sister-in-law
answered. "We were glad that so
many of your things had been ready

won't you show me your entries,
Alice?" 1 asked. 81 would like to see
them very much"
"I'll get them, Aunt Lucia" Alice
replied, and hurried upstairs to her
room.
While she was gone her mother said
to me, "Alice learned a life lesson
from contributing to the Fair, Lucia.
l think she will tell you about it her
self"
My niece came back with an arm
full of bright garments. She spread
them out for my inspection-a pretty
blue printed cotton dress with a
double collar of white and plain blue;
a tiny, fluffy pink dimity dress; an
apron trimmed with many colored
bands; and a white blouse with no
trimming except fine, even stitching.

gan. "She was entering some of hel

looked fairly well on the outside, but
some of the seams were crooked, anC
the collar wasn't even. The dress
wasn't quite good enough for the
Fair, and | didn't have time to make
another"
81 can see that you didn't repeat
that mistake this year," | responded
looking over the four neatly made
garments.
"No, l finished all my seams care
fully this summer. | was glad | hat

smiled at her mother. 81 know nov

their cousins, are shedding ole
clothes and changing to fresh ones
every year, but few people are aware
of this performance.
White fir wood is straight grained

but slight distinction between
the heartwood and the Sapwood.
The unSeasoned lumber is far from
fragrant, but this disagreeable odor
is lost by the time the seasoned
wood is made up into butter tubs.
The wood Is not soil resistant and
must be carefully treated If used in
contact with soil or where termites
flourish.
Small houses are constructed OF
the lumber, as are boxes and crates
The finest parts are used for cup

the base of the scales are a dingy
yellow brown, which is in startling
contrast to the beautiful, clear, rose

In autumn a brisk wind will catch
the released seeds and sometimes
transport them as much as 100 feet
from their home base. Abundant
seed crops appear at irregular in

tree for several years. With the ex-
ception Of the Eastern bald cypress,
no other cone-bearing trees possess
cones that break up as do those of
the white frs.
These lovely frs are generally
found on north slopes at moderate
attitudes from Southern Oregon
through California into lower Cali
fornia and from Navada, Utah and
Southern Colorado through Arizona
and New Mexico. The white fir
really is perfect in Northern Cali
fornia on the north and east slopes

frs find fairly deep, rich, moist
