cial Zoo issue of the Echo gotten

Very clever poems" DR.. Mann

FUNNY AT FIRST

The first time it was funny. But
when it developed that the crane
operator had no control over her
sense of humor and that more and
more workmen were being sum-
marily Invested of their pants,
the company was forced to part
with its most talented crane oper-
ator.
Since this series on women in
defense has been actually con-
cerned with women who produce
the goods either in office or fac
tory or laboratory, it has not
taken into account the tremendous
number of women office workers
who literally oil the wheels of in
dustry.
Yet with increasing numbers of
men being absorbed into industry
and into the armed services, more
and more women are in demand
for office work. Much of it,
especially in the airplane industry,
is highly technical.

The most successful truck growers
in the state are those who keep closest
to their markets - not in miles but
in information. They telephone the
buyers, find out what vegetables will
be most in demand next morning,
and have time to gather load, grade
it, pack it, and get it to market early.
Such telephone service enables grow
ers to supply the vegetables you want
when you want them.

LIFE RATS FOR FLIERS

Just as feminine hands have
been found invaluable in the tap
ing and scanning of rubber sur
faces for bullet-sealing gas tanks,
barrage balloons and fiotation
bags, so they are equally indis-
.pensable in the manufacture of
emergency life RATS designed for
military aircraft which must fly
over water. Goodyear is turning
out large quantities of such boats
for the air forces of the United
States.

because of their natural aptitude
for fine handiwork and their
talent for detail. they also can
make good in heavy industry.

Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany at Akron is manned almost
entirely by women. They not
only do the vital sewing, but the
cutting and assembling of various
sections of the masks.
In the Goodyear plant, women
also have been entrusted with an
operation requiring the utmost
skill, fastening the outlet guard
to the angle tubes of the mask
They are equally competent at
trimming face blanks and flutter
valves.
The manufacturer of a gas
mask, which is a delicate instru-
ment. is a painstaking process
calling for the utmost precision.
As the assembly line moves
along, carefully patterned pieces
of rubber, canvas. glass and metal
are transformed into masks which
must be able to thwart the most
deadly gases.
Even the windows in the mask
are of shatter-proof safety glass
and transparent plastic.

PAINSTAKING WORK

The only seam in the entire
mask is the one under the chin.
Women needle experts bring this
firmly together with a tight dia-
mond stitch over a metal form.
They then close the seam with
six separately baked applications
of liquid cement. As an extra
precaution, they then apply strip
of rubber to seal the seam.
In this same plant many women
are employed in the manufacture
of flotation bags TO be installed
in military planes. They are de-
signed for the protection of
planes in case of emergency land
ings on water. Such bags, in de-
fiated condition. are inserted in
the wings and fuselages of planes.
They can be inflated instantly in

BILL BENEFITS
 STATE GUARDS
Members to Be Allowed $l.2S for Participation
 in Military Funerals

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, March The bill raised in committee at the request of Rep. Daniel J. Ma. haney of Waterbury granting mem. bers of the State Guard an allow. aS1ce of 3i.26 for participation in military funerals was passed under suspension of rules in both the Sen. ate and House today.
 The bill had been raised by the Military Affairs Committee and merely makes a change in the exist. ing law which provides only that National 0uardSmetl receive the al. lowance. With the absence of the National Guard from this state and their replacement by the State Guard 1t was felt that some allow. ance should be made also for their participation in any military funer- als that might occur.
 When the House was asked to vote on the matter today Rep. Cliff ford I. Stoddard of Woodbridge charged that the bill had never been brought Up in committee to his knowledge, but he was voted down by the House which was al- most unanimously in favor of pass age.

 Local Lithuanians, as well as Lithuanians throughout the nation, have been rejoicing at the fact that President Smetona, alone of all the rulers whose nations fell prey to the Russian dictatorship, did not sign away his power. American Lithuanians have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ruler of the vanquished nation.
 Dr. Bl. K. vencius of New York, is chairman of the committee for the banquet. Local residents who have received invitations include: Rev. Benedict Gauronskas, acting pastor of St. Josephs church, Prof. Alexander J. Aleksis and Dr. s. Sa- pranaS.
 The sister-in-law of President Smetona, Mrs. Jadvygo Tubelis, and her daughter, Mary Tubelis were guests at the home of MT. and Mrs. John Tareila last December on their arrival to this country.
