Special Classes To
Meet Labor Needs
CONTINUED from First Pags1

Council disclosed that a detailed
survey has been made of the needs
in defense industries throughout
the state and consequently it has
been decided to form classes to
train persons in the more impor-
tant vocations.
One of the vital classes will call
for aviation sheet metal apprentice
workers and will include the train
ing of riveters, buckers-up, fin as
semblers and helpers, dimpling ma
chine operators, and driller oper-
ators.
In order to save time, the coun-
Gil has recommended that partial
functions of the trades be taught
rather than the entire occupation.
Another course will include sheet
metal work and welding, general
and marine electrical work, ship
carpentering, marine pipe fitting,
boat painting, all types of machin-
lists craft and those pertaining to
aviation.
1t is expected that many high
school graduates who have no
knowledge of the required occupa-
tions will enroll for the classes, as
we'll as those who have a latent
knowledge of the trades and who
are not now employed in them. In
addition, persons with a knowledge
of the essential occupation who are
anxious to enter defense work are
also urged to enroll.
In order to accommodate immed-
lately persons who are employed
during the day and who desire to
attend the new classes, there will
be night sessions covering a per-
iod of Is hours a week. Glasses will
be held three hours nightly with the
probable time from until 10 p. m.
A minimum of 10 students will be
needed for each class and as soon
as this number has been register
ed the sessions will begin. Trainees
may enroll at the Office of the State
Employment Service offices, Sixth
and Shipley streets, Wilmington,
Dover, and Georgetown, from 8 a.
m, until A p. m, from Monday
through Friday.
There is no top age limit for the
classes although the State Labor
Law regarding ages in various oc-
cupations will be followed for the
younger men.
In order to break down occupa-
tions into functions, the council
has available technicians whose du-
ties are to go into plants desiring
trainees and to write up job spe-
cifications covering occupations or
needed. This already has
been accomplished in large man
plant here. This service
is offered to any plant desiring to
make the most of it, council Off
cials said.
Already there is a tentative Or
der for $50 sheet metal trainees.
The classes will be set up in the
lower end of the state as applica-
tions justify. In Wilmington the
classes will be held in H. Fletcher
Brown and Carver schools. In
structors will be appointed by the
board of education.
A special request has been made
to the office of production manage
ment for priorities on machinery,
tools and material for operation
an draining of classes.

Labor Creates Civilization

Why was Labor day appointed
in the first place, and why does ii
continue a POPULAR holiday? The
average person m ght answer
merely that it supplies a day OF
needed recreation, but it was ori-
ginally established for a quite diff
ferent purpose. That objective
should not be forgotten.
The original motive for appoint
ing it was to call attention to what
was called the labor movement
representing mainly the effort oi
those who work with their hands
to obtain a greater share of the
blessings of modern progress. The
labor movement has gone on to be-
come one of the most powerful in
fluences in national life. The peo-
pie who work with their hands
are infinitely better off than they
were when this movement started.
Labor day also means that labor
is the basis of all progress. If you
travel over the world, you would
probably find that there is no or
ganized and persistent labor. The
savage tribes hunt and fish and
raise crops in an irregular way,
but their labor is spasmodic and
unorganized. If there was enough
food in the cabin for the coming
week, and enough fuel to keep the
place warm, the savages would not
probably feel like laboring.
When people become actuated by
ambition, they see that man needs
regular and persistent labor to
build up comfortable homes and
towns. So our whole progress de-
pends on labor, and it is absolute
ly essential that the chance to
labor be provided.
One of the lessons of the recent
depression was that it is a very
dangerous thing for the country
for any great number of people to
lack any chance to labor. One of
the first thoughts to be emphasized
on Labor day is as to how everyone
can be given chance to labor reg
ularly, and how the people can be
aided to labor in the most efficient
way.

Encouragement For Soldiers

Apparently the National Guards
men and selectees in the army
camps will not have to serve so
long as was recently expected. The
outlook is now that they will get
home after an average of eighteen
months, many of them in fourteen
months. This will cheer many a
man to whom the prospect of two
years and'a half of drilling looked
formidable.
When the Nazi blitzkrieg SEEM
ed able to overcome almost any
country in two weeks, the situation
of the United States seemed very
perilous. Mr.. Hitler has found
the going not so easy in Russia.
But the days when the United
States could get along with a small
skeleton army seem to have passed
for many years at least. A strong
and we'll trained army is a neces-
sity in this fighting day.
1t is to be hoped that all the
soldiers in camp will feel happy
and enthusiastic in their work
They have a grand country which
is worth many sacrifices, and
which is still in serious danger
They are learning many things as
soldiers that will make them NOR,
effective in civilian jobs.

DEFENSE STAMPS AT YOUR
RETAILERS

A number of the principal chain
store systems are now planning to
place Defense Savings Stamps ON
sale in their stores. This is being
done at the request of Secretary
Morgenthau, who wrote to one chain
store association: I'VE will indeed
welcome the type of cooperation
outlined. Know, as l do, the group
of retailers you represent, feel
they will render a great and per-
manent service to the National De-
fense Program"
These stores should prove one
of the best possible outlets for the
stamps. The purpose of the stamp
sales is to secure money for de-
fense expenditures from a broad
cross-section of the public, rather
than from a relatively small num-
ber of large investors. And the
chain stores patrons are families
of average and moderate means.
The stamps sell for ten and twenty
five cents, and the typical custom
mer can afford to purchase one or
more when doing his shopping.
When a sufficient number of stamps
have been accumulated, they may
be exchanged for an interest-bear-
ing defense bond at banks and post
offices.
The chain stores are to be con-
graduated. on this new activity.
Tens of millions worth of defense
stamps and bonds must be sold
weekly if the defense effort is to
be financed on a sound basis. Keep
that in mind when you do your
your shopping-buy as many
stamps as you can afford. Every
purchase you make helps to build
you a financial cushion for the
future.

Fighting The Tanks

They say that when new wea'
pons are invented in war, it does
not take long before new defense
weapons are invented which prove
an adequate protection against the
new producers of death. For in
stance, a wave Of terror spread
over the world when the Germans
seemed in this war to have devel-
Oped a so-called magnetic mine
which was taking a terrible toll OF
British shipping. Probably this was
the new weapon with which Hitler
boasted he was going to subdue the
enemy.
1t was not long before the Brit
ish technicians had gotten hold of
these mines, which were supposed
to rise from the bottom of the sea
and explode against an enemy YES
sci. New devices were adopted as
protection against this form of at
tack, and apparently such mines
have done little harm OF late.
It was good deal so when the
German army bursh with new
type of fury on its enemies, in the
form Of vast bodies of armored
cars stalled tank or panzer divi-
sions. These forces seemed ire
sistible. They would plow through
great army like farmer driving
his plough through piece of sod
ded land. Suddenly they would
turn up hundred miles behind the
lines. destroying communications
and creating havoc.
Those tanks did enormous dam
age for time. The United States
army engineers believe they have
found the answer. Their new anti
tank groups are to participate in
the September maneuvers in Lou
isiana.
The panzer division will not be
invincible. Those tanks may have
tremendous power, but they can't
probably move very fast. Appar-
emily the army men have found
something that can beat them on
speed, and can riddle them with it's
powerful guns. Those tanks may
soon be like an old fashioned war
ship being riddled by fast battle
cruiser. The Germans thought they
could conquer the world with their
tanks, but the American mind
moves a little quicker than they
do.
Milford chronicle., 1941-08-29
Two Years of War

Germany invaded Poland ON Sep
tember 1, 1899, and war with Great
Britain and France started imme-
diately. The world has seen two
terrible years, and the end is far
from being in sight.
The first result is that the
science of war has been revolutions
lied. A new style Of fighting,
commonly known as the blitzkrieg,
has conquered many countries. It
depends upon armored tanks which
burst through enemy lines, and
operate far in the rear of opposing
armies, and surround great bodies
of troops. A great force of planes
circle over defending forces and
shoot and bomb the life out Of
them.
The great Maginot line ON which
France chiefly depended, proved
only trifling factor in the war.
New methods made only fortifica-
tions of relatively small value. The
Maginot line might possibly have
held, if the French had extended it
to cover the Belgian frontier,
which was poorly defended.
The Nazi triumphs that have
amazed the world do not prove that
the Nazi mind understands war. To
understand war, you have to un-
derstand the people you have to
meet. Hitler developed fifth col
umn activity to a most amazing ex-
tent, but he does not understand |
the average mentality of foreign
peoples. He thought Britain and
France would refuse to fight when
he joined up with Russia. That
was mistake that will probably
cost him the war. He thought
America would take little part in
the war. The stream of bombers
flying to England has taught him
differently. He thought the Rus
slams could not fight. A million
Nazi fighters left dead, wounded,
or prisoners on the Russian front
have shown he was wrong there.
Two years of war have proved
that while Mr.. Hitler is master
of blitzkriegs, he does not under
stand something equally import
ant the human mind.

HAVE WE A WAR TO WIN9
By J. E. JONES

The President of the United
States drew parellel from the
words of Abraham Lincoln and is
sued a warning to the Nation few
days ago. He said we are faced
by a war that can be won only by
hard, tough fighting" that will
"hurt somebody" When the Pres
ident returned from his meeting
with Winston Churchill he told the
country that it was no nearer war
than before the meeting with the
British chief at sea.
The spread of the war into Rus
sia, and threats of a war with ia
pan, present a situation that is
filled with grave dangers. The Ad-
ministration has been aware Of
these dangers for a long time.
1t now appears that the heads of
the Army realize that the Lower
House of Congress knew there was
a critical condition in our Army
when it came within one vote Oh
freeing draftees from service. If
mediately after the President sign
ed the bill passed by the two.
branches of Congress to keep the
men another eighteen months, the
War Department announced new
policy that promises all present
and future selective service men
and guardsmen an average of eigh-
teen months of training, instead of
the full thirty months permitted
under the law signed by President
Roosevelt; with 100000 freed with
in the next few weeks. It is very
obvious that the Waar Department
has become concerned over the
morale in Army camps, which is
the actual reason why the pro-
gram was changed.
So the general public should heed
the warnings and sit tight, and do
plenty of thinking and planning
for the future for our country, and
our people.

Labor Day Harmony

What can be said or done on
Labor day to produce peace and CO.
operation in the field of labor? If
labor and capital are not able to
work harmoniously, they are like a
team of horses pulling in opposite
directions. One horse thinks they
should take the right hand road,
while his mate thinks the left is
the way. 1t will be fortunate if in
all this contrary jerking the wagon
is not upset, and the load deposited
in the ditch.
In the main labor and capital get
along pretty comfortably. Strikes
seem rather prevalent, but for ev-
cry plant where a strike is going
on, there are probably hundreds
where harmony exists. What can
be done to obtain complete peace
in the labor world, and to induce
people to settle their differences
without interrupting the progress
of work?
When strike breaks out, it does
not necessarily mean that there is
any great hostility, though excit-
able people sometimes do and say
things that show bitter antagon-
ism. A strike is the result Of diff
ference of opinion. People are en-
titled to hold their own opinions,
provided they do so peaceably.
1t takes a spirit Of compromise
and concession to get along in life.
The young people who get married
with the idea in the mind of each
that he or she is going to have his
or her own way, and decide how
everything shall be done, are very
likely to blow up in a grand row.
1t is a good deal the same in the
field of labor.
In most any activity you have
to listen to what the opposite side
has to say, and take a reasonable
xiaw Of Anx reauests. thatmay be
made. If labor and capital can
approach their mutual discussions
in that spirit, labor troubles will
be relatively unimportant, and ma
tiona1 prosperity will be advanced
by harmonious production.

Putting On the Old Harness

Il =
1t is quite an effort to som,
people to settle down into the or
dinary rut Of labor after a vaca'
tion. They have had a period wheI
they were free to wander or loaf
If they wanted to sleep until noon
no alarm clock woke them up, and
no factory whistle or railroad time
table jerked them out of bed.
Now when it comes to going back
to the same old home and the
same old job, it comes hard on
many of them. They think with
some restlessness of the delights
they have had, and wish they
could enjoy more of them. The
patient attention to duty, the strain
and unpleasant contacts of ordi-
nary life seem doubly hard after
one has escaped from these things.
Perhaps there is something wrong
with us, if it comes hard to put
on the old harness. The trouble
may not be with the harness, but
with ourselves. Human nature
seems to need a harness. If it is
just like a wild colt, kicking up its
heels and running aimlessly about
the pasture, it isn't. getting any
where. The harness is put on us,
so we can pull things where we
want them.

Birds eat harmful insects. and per-
haps even more important, one type
of insects feeds on another.
Among our great helpers in this
field are the ichneumon flies. The
name "ichneumon" is pronounced
"ick -NEW-mun." 1t means track
ers," and this insect does track down
other insects.
There are so many kinds of ich-
neumon flies more than $1,000 that
we cannot describe them all at once.
Yet We may say they most often
are black with bands, or spots, of
yellow or red One kind has a
bright red color all over its body.
In the full-grown stage of life,
they have four wings, six legs and
a pair of feelers growing out from
the head.

they place their eggs inside the body
