She Feeds a Million Men
 Three Squares a Day
BY GERRY DICK

(NEA Service Stan COrrespOndent)
 Washington - If you're feeling sorry for yourself because you can't decide what to give the family for dinner, think of Mary Barber. She has to feed a million men three squares a day.
 As & dollar-a-year woman It's her job to see that what goes into the Army's stomach is not only enough to travel on, but that 1t Is varied and appetizing. She never gets fled up" with her job.
 She talks food, thinks food, looks at dozens of jars and cans of food stuffs ranged on her desk, such as peanut butter mixed with vitamin B or prunes disguised with skim milk. People have sent her these things to try. She says T like to eat-too well. I've cooked since I can remember. I never get tired of food"
 She was nutritionist for the Kel- logg company for 17 years. The army was one of the best cereals customers, and she visited army camps from coast to coast, making suggestions to mess sergeants who with the best intentions sometimes serve macaroni, hominy grits and potatoes at the same time.
 Worried mothers with soldier sons can be sure this won't happen with Miss Barber dishing 1t out. The army allows 42 cents day to feed a man, and even Miss Barber can't give him guinea hen with nush- rooms under glass for as little as that. But she does manage to get carbohydrates such as bread and sugar: proteins, meat, fish or eggs; and protective foods, fruits, vege- tables, milk, into each of a soldiers fkran ffaaale

445 Workers In Election Negotiations With Atlantic
 Wire Co. Continue

Get that 25 and B cent difference between the Inter- national Association of Ma chinists' scale and your pres ent rates next Tuesday" Grand Lodge Representative Clark Goodrich told his key men in the American Tube Bending Manufacturing Com pany, New Haven, in a pre- election meeting.
 445 TO VOTE
 Between l :45 and 4 in the after noon and 1O:45 and 1l:45 Tues day night, Dec. 2, some 445 em- ployes will cast their vote for either the Machinists Union, the American Tube Bending Company Employees Cooperative Association, Inc., or no union in the election ordered last week by the National Labor Rela- tions Board in Washington. The order was signed by Chairman Har- ry A. Mills, and members William A. LeisersOn and Gerald D. Reilly.
 The unit agreed upon includes all workers except supervisors, cler- icaI employees, watchmen and draughtsmen. Goodrich, Henry Ware Jones, IT,, president of the company; Messrs. Jack Senderoff and Grafton E. Hall for the assO- citation, met with Milton A. Kallis, Board counsel, to check the pay roll for ineligible voters on Thurs day, Nov. 27.
 LAM. CONFIDENT
 Goodrich was confident of a 75% minimum LAM. vote. ''Those company union babies could pro- duce only A authorizations at the last hearing. They'll need more than the left hand box on the bal lot they were able to wangle. We're in the center box no matter which way you turn the ballot. I'm sure the fellows will reach over a little to that second box between the stoOge outfit and no union when it means at least a quarter an hour more to them."
 ATLANTIC WIRE
 The union is still negotiating with the Atlantic Wire Company in Branford. Negotiations have been delayed by the necessary trips made to Washington by company officials to secure priorities on essential ma- terial.
