Available for Use in
All Types Of Homes
Bv LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Is your home one that seems to
defy all efforts TO make 1t bright
and cheerful? Have you had
lighter wallpaper put on and the
woodwork painted a happier hue
and still the old place looks Ike
the morgue? Then, obviously, 1t
isn't getting enough daylight and
YOU ought 10 do something about 1t.
There are ways of bringing more
daylight into home that weren't
available 8 few years ago. Where
an architect formerly would place a
solid wall. cutting off light, an up
to-date home can be equipped with
a handsome panel of glass blocks
Even interior rooms can obtain
light bv the use OF these new build
ing blocks and now both old houses
and new can be equipped so that
daylight is spread around where II
Will do the most good.
Used in All Types of Houses.
When these glass blocks first made
their appearance many people
thought that they had 10 go hand in
hand with modern architecture
but now they are being used in all
types OF houses. from long, narrow
railway apartments 10 stately
Georgian homes. AS matter of
fact the peculiar surface and light
diffuSlng qualities of these blocks
make them look not little like the
old Small-panel, bottle-glaSs win
dowS which were popular years ago.
Basement windows are often a
source OF annoyance if they are
equipped with ordinary glass, easily
broken Why not block up those
spaces with attractive glass bricks
end not only will your basement be
made weathertight. but its appear
snce will be improved inside and
out
Kitchens can be frightened up
immeasurably if YOU have the wall
filled in with light diffusing glass
blocks on either side of the case
ment window. Bathrooms will glow
comfortably with window or two
OF patterned glass blocks.
These new glass blocks are ex-
eellent heat inSulators. because of
the air space or vacuum between
their thick walls and you can get
them in an amazing number of
light -diffuSing patterns. They are
laid like ordinary building blocks,
with or without spacing strips or
mullionS, and can be put in place
by any good bricklayer.

Michigan Boys Work Day and
Night to Become Skilled LabOrers|
Michigan Boys Get
Defense Training in
Vocational Schools
BY AL KAUFMAN

CTEEPED in a spirit that
~ caused their ancestors to flee
the hronic. blood-drenched
European continent American
youths have plunged themselves
headlong into the task of pre-
serving the only democratic
nation in the world.
While many have answered
Uncle Sans call by joining the
army and navy. thousands of
others have laid aside their
talents 10 meet the growing de-
mands for skilled labor.
The keyword is NATIONAL
DEFENSE and Uncle Sam is
sparing no dollars gearing the
nation for any emergency that
may arise. He has already
poured nearly 100000 into
vocational educational programs
for national defense and there
Is more TO come.
Because Michigan is one of
the key industrial states in the
union, a considerable portion
has been appropriated for this
area. Now Michigan youths are
working day and night to be-
come skilled laborers so that
they can help turn out the sorely
needed airplaneS. tanks, mu-
nitions and battleshipS.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-09

The first. with no age limit, was
made available TO everybody
seeking a "refreSher course" in
defense industries. Those with
some knowledge OF mechanics
were given the opportunity of
receiving advanced training.
The second plan was set up
for rural youths between the
ages of II and IS and those who
had finished either high school
or college but were without en-
ployment, especially in white
collar" fields. Even the farm
boy was given an opportunity
TO learn auto mechanics so that
he could take care of farm
equipment such as tractors,
threshing machines. etc.
In plan three were placed the
NYA students who might be
called upon to fill civic jobs
requiring a vocational intelli-
gence.

Operate ~ Hours

The training is carried on in
Michigan schools and small
machine shop units. In many
cases school systems with
machine shop apparatus operate
"a hours daily to handle the
thousands of farm boys and
white collar job aspirants who
have decided TO tackle mechan-
ical training.
Instructors, in most cases. are
taken from schools. In all cases
they are experienced in the
latest machine shop technique.
Talking in terms of millions of
dollars makes the average citi-
zen dizzy, but as Fern pointed
out:
"All the money appropriated
for this type Of training
throughout the nation II less
than the cost of q single battle
ship. The amount spent I'm
Michigan to date, 100000, Is
less than the cost of one big
bomber"

GobbIed Up by Industry

Industry is literally crying
for skilled men, according TO
George II. Fern. director of the
state board of control for voca-
tional education here. and as
fast as the special schools can
turn out capable workmen. they
are being gobbled up for de-
tense work.
Since the program went into
effect here last July. more than
1000 Michigan youths have re-
ceived automotive training in 20
cities in the state. Virtually
every graduate" in the l0-week
course has been put TO work.
Thousands of others can be
placed as soon as new classes
can be put through.
1.-TWO large Detroit indus
tries have offered to place
more than 10000 skilled labor
ers TO work" Fern declared.
ct hats right, more than
10000. And when national de-
Tense production swings into
high gear twice that many will
be needed for all of Detroit's
machine shops and factories"
Covers Everything
The federal governme nt
evolved a plan that covers vir-
tuaily everything. A program
was set up based on the needs
OF the community. Employers
and educators sat down and
laid their cards on the table.
For instance;
II Ec-j 80 men TO make
tools" sad the employer,
The educator. assisted by the
knowledge of civic and business
leaders, knew that that many
skilled men were not available
So he talked it over with the
state vocational directors office
fully aware that The govern
ment had all the necessary pay
chips TO offer.

 For Nursery Plans
Demand for Skilled Women Workers in Local Fac.
 tories May Lead to Establishment of Day Nursery

now. Investigations concerning the local needs are being carried out and may be completed within the next few weeks, 1t was indicated.
 The employment office does not place married women in factory jobs unless assurance is given that their children are properly cared for in their absence from home. The labor department does not approve of having neighbors take care of children because that system is not a satisfactory one.
 Miss Sarah Ball, superintendent of the Day Nursery on Kingsbury street, voiced her approval of e new nursery for Waterbury. She said, There are tremendous demands for care of children of mothers who are called to work. We're turning away requests because we simply can't take care of them. We're even let- ting older children go home earlier so that more children can be taken care of"
 Miss Ball pointed out that the day nursery can provide for 55 chil- dren daily. She said WPA-spon- sored nurseries have been set up in the past few years for children of mothers who were given work by re- lief organizations.

Three state departments are furthering plans for c Waterbury uey Nursery as means of permit ting an initial 300. 400 mothers SKill- e6 In factory operations to r..uTn 10 work, Mrs. Mary Dewey, manager of the local branch of the state Employment Bureau stated today.
 "As carly as last February" she eiad "I contacted federal officials with an eye twoard the establish uaent of e local nursery. The plan was then considered by the state de- paTtinents of education, hlaeth, and labor, of which latter department I became the active representative for tho nursery plan in Connecticut.
 Though our files show that 226 mothers can and are anxious to re- turn to work, dozens of additional requests by mothers for informa- ton on the project lead me to be- iieye our offices can place 0 mini- mum of between 300-400 mothers who at the present time are handi- capped by inability to find adequate caro for their children"
 Plans are in the formative stage
