Qualification Is Expressed yMachinists
Attendance at Meetings, Aid Of Key Men,
 Important Factor

AHC ACdAIHy uCNcIOpmcuL O1 the Machinists Union cOncen- tratiOn on the VOught-SikOr- sky plant in StratfOrd was re- fiected Wednesday night in the attendance at the regular membership meeting of the VOught-SikOrsky Lodge 763 in Moose Hall, Bridgeport.
 "We are gratified with re- suits to date," Grand Lodge Representative Joseph H. Cur ran told the membership. ''There is still some time to the election and we certainly don't intend to shoot our bolt too soon. Growing attendance at these meetings and at the sOcials we hold from time to time are proving to be the graphs plotting our drive. Election Day, we'll be at white heat"
 MEN BEING UNITED
 The recent social held at Moose Hall, $40 Main Street knitted the men more closely together and re- hected the confidence of the mem- bership in the success of the Inter- national Association of Machinists' campaign.
 Lodge officers include Edward J. SOuthwick, president; James Dunn, vice-president; Edward Caldwell, recording secretary; Camille Man. goni, financial secretary; John Me- Carthy, treasurer; George Previs, conductor, and Harry Bowen, IT,, sentinel.
 SOuthwick referred to these sO- cials being held at regular inter- vals as ''Open house gatherings where we can meet our fellow ae- rOnautical mechanics and get to know each other by our first names.''
 GROUP MEETINGS
 Curran also reported on the group meetings being held twice weekly with key men. Grand Lodge Representa- tive Harold Reardon and myself are on tap "A hours a day either here, at the hotel Or at the shop gates. The key men we're meeting with are giv- ing us a complete understanding of the problems confronting the Vought- Sikorsky employees. No detail is too small, no mans suggestion too insig- nihcant.
 'We see new faces at each meeting indicating the steady, persistent and significant growth of our strength in side the plant. We've held what we had as the National Labor Relations Board decision shows, and we're building we'll on that substantial base"
 WIN REAL SECURITY
 In closing his report, Curran quoted from the book, ''The Bal ance Sheet of the Future," by Ern- est Bevin, Minister of State in Churchill's cabinet and secretary general of the Transport Workers Union of England: "Bevin said that the motive of our life is social security. 1 don't think anyone will deny that. Yet it was organized labor which helped the most in get ting the Social Security law passed by our government. I say to you that our job is to get all aerOnauti- cal mechanics into the InternatiOn- al Association of Machinists, one of the great arms of organized labor which helped lay the base for the complete winning of that goal, our social security.
 ''In our great union we already have 5000 aerOnauticaI mechan- ics working under LAM. contracts. That figure guarantees that we'll help swell the total to the quar- ter million mark, with VOught-Si- kOrsky included right after Janu- ary I.'

But to get on with Mr.. DeMille.
and stop these obvious asides, he
believes so firmly in authenticity
that he can sell the idea to others.
Latest buyer, so to speak, has been
Mayor Henry w. Lockwood of
Charleston, S. C.-the Charleston.

One look at the telephone poles

His honor called the right people.
The right people removed all tele-

But have an answer for that
which constitutes a pretty good
reason for writing "Calidore, which

Wednesday night. My answer is a
litany consisting of Father Hartke,
Walter Kerr, DR.. Josephine Callan,
Ralph Brown and Jim Miller. Father
Hartke was foolhardy enough to en-
courage my writing it, Walter Kerr
and DR.. Callan are directing it, and
Ralph Brown and Jim Miller are
providing the settings. Now, if
you've seen any of the shows at the
university, you know I've got a
pretty good guarantee. All of these
persons have obsessions about the
theater calculated to make Cali

theatrical sins I may have COM
mitted in writing it. Walter is OBJ
sessed about actors moving around
on a stage and is firmly convinced
that acting means action; DR..
Callan has the obsession that actors
should be heard and should speak
with color and force; Ralph and Jim
believe q stage scene should supple
ment and intensity play and have
designed a revolving stage for the
show that is a JOY to watch spin.
Add to all this the cast of inter-

FACTORIES START
 6-DAY WORK WEEK

Several departments In at least two of Waterbury's large factories began operating on Six-day work week bass today, the first step to- ward wartime goal of uninter. rupted production seven days a week, 24 hours day. Workers in the departments involved were noe tified yesterday that they would work today and would hereafter be on q regular siX-day basis.
 Some key departments have been operating seven days week for some time, producing basic goods for fabrication and finishing. The plan now is to have many more de- partments, especially those engaged in direct manufacture of shell cases and such items, begin operating on a full-time schedule.
 Labor unions have pledged their cooperation in the all-out defense drive, in which factories like Water bury's will play so important a role, Many Of the items made in local plants have already been placed on the list of defense needs which the government claSsifes as "vital".
 Start of the seven-day week in many departments will come as soon as additional instructions from the government are received.

United Lutheran Synod Head Describes Western
 Hemisphere Trip in "A Pastor Wings Over So. An.'

This year he chose South America because of the Lutheran churches and schools located there, and be- cause he was, according to the book, willing to become an itinerant good neighbor,"
 pr. Trexler's book tells of the work in Buenos Aires, British Guiana and Puerto Rico, where his church Is mainly concentrated. and outlines other missionary "proS- psets." lie pictures his flight over the Andes and estimates the sig- nifleanee of the airplane ln church enterprises of the future, A visit to Arewak Indians in British Guiana is related in detail, including the Are. wax Indians in British Guiana Ia related in detail, including the Ara. walk chiefs presentation of . fish spear, which pr. Trexler brought back to New York as 0 valued sou- venr.
 Tn 6 final chapter, Dr. Trexler asks, "Is the Protestant Church needed in South AYneriea9" and an- swers his question by saying that South America needs @ new infu. sion of dynamic, living faith" He says he had been warned that as q Protestant minister he might have to be somewhat tactful in Q tradl. tionally Catholic country, but he found that people everywhere greet cd him with the utmost friendship and eordiallty.
 "The average South American is as open to the Christian message as proclaimed by our evangelical churches as Is the average Amer. tean," he declares.
 Since returning to this country pr. Trexler has consulted with his Board of Foreign Missions in Balti- more, Maryland, with c view to de- yeloplng the South American work. He has addressed numerous church. es and church groups to stimulate interest in this Hand Of the future" as he describes South America. He will also make 0 feature of the Evangelical Church's opportunity in South America when conducting a weke's mission in Madison, Wlscon. sin, next February, under the aus pieos of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
