HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE HEiSkELL

Less than three years ago,
skilled mechanics were a eIut on
the market, and any employer
who wanted to hire a precision
mechinist, a sheet metal worker.
or a high class carpenter, would
only have to place an ADVERTISE
ment in the paper, and then make
arrangements with the Police De-
partment to handle the crowd.
1t is on record that in those dark
depression days that men were
trampIed in the rush and carted
off to the hospital. These highly
skilled workmen were so pIenti-
full that you could get 'em for a
dime a dozen. But times have
changed.

TOMBSTONE BILL

House Delegate Lester B. Reed
refuses to be kidded about his
tombstone bill which is calcu-
lated to prevent tombstone sales
men from taking advantage of be-
reaved families Immediately after
a death.
The bill provides that if tomb
stone is sold within two weeks after
a death, the order can be cancelled
within sixty days. Reed maintains
that this is only fair, in order to
give members of a family a chance
to change their minds after the
strain of emotionalism has worn
off.
But the tombstone lobby predicts
that it will bury the bill in the COM
mittee.

1t doesn't take master mind
to figure out just why there
is such shortage of skilled me-
chanics in America today. Back
in 1880 when this country was
washed up on the rocks, industry
got it's most severe tummy ache,
and the skilled as we'll as the un-
skilled were told to go home and
wait for prosperity to give 'em
a call back to work. That was a
long time ago; the mechanics
got other jobs and the young
sters who had been thinking of
learning a trade quickly gave up
the idea. ResuIt-no one was be-
ing trained for highly technical
trades and those already trained
were in other fields of endeavor.
