DEFENSE PROGRAM DOES COST SOMETHING

To those who moan, because send ing food to Britain cuts down on home consumption, the c. D. says, We cannot expect our defense pro- gram not to cost us anything" Dairy products, pork, tomatoes, evaporat- ed milk are all feeling the lend lease pinch.
 When it comes to the business of quality Standards, the c. D. advises writers to work for stiffer legislation along the lines of the Food and Drug Act, Department of Agriculture grading" and the newly passed Woolen Fabric Act, which makes it compulsory to tell the proportion of different f1bers making up woolen mate rials.
 The c. D. points out that, so far, 1t has no power other than moral pressure and the stirring of public opinion.

 Sometimes, he points out, nlush- rooming population growth due to defense industries or army camp locations causes unayoid- able shortages in certain locally produced foods.

Anyone can have lovely hands. It doesn't matter what their shape is short or long, thin or well round- ed, they can be made attractive, even beautiful, if you really work at 1t.
 A good exercise for developing lovely hands is the one which starts with the hands clenched, elbows bent to bring the forearns high to the chest. Thrust both arms out to the sides, flinging the hands out and opening the fingers as wide as possible. Repeat sev- eral times.
 If you are musically inclined, or do a good deal of typewriting every day, you'll find that the constant manipulation makes your hands supple and graceful. If your daily routine doesn't bring you into con- tact with any sort of keyboard. an exercise which duplicates the move ntents of simple piano scales will achieve similar flexibility.
 Sit in front of a table, rest one arm, from the elbow down, upon the surface of the table. Arch hand and round fingers as if you were going to play the piano. Then raise one finger at a time as high as it will go, keeping the other fingers resting on the table. Do this with one finger after an- other, starting with the thumb, repeat the whole routine twice. Then change hands.
 NAILS ARE
 HANDS EYES
 A simple massage, which will be relaxing and beneficial, is begun with 8 preliminary soaking in warm water. This opens the pores. Apply 8 good cold cream, working well into the skin with 8 washing, wringing motion. Now, with the finger tips of one hand, gently massage the other.
 Work from wrist to finger tips with special attention given to the knuckleS and outer bony edges. Take the finger tips, one at a time, between thumb and in- dex finger, loosen them with a brisk rotary motion. Wipe of ex- cess cream and plunge into cold water. Apply lotion.
 Dress your hands up. You con- Sider your facial makeup care fully-take the same pains with your nail polish. The nails are to the hands what the eyes are to the face. They give them person. ality, character, color. Experi- ment with your pohshes. Not only the color, but the way in which 1t is applied. Try putting it. over the entire nail, covering the moon and tip.
 Try tricks with your file and emery board, lenthen the naA4s by narrowing the tips, make them wider by bunting them and re- moving the enamel straight across the edges. And don't forget to spend a few extra moments re- moving unsightly cuticle bumps, tell-tale ragged edges, uglifying nicotine stains.

Don't Be Too Quick to Blame Defense If Prices Seem to Soar

 Washington.-The trouble-shoot- ing Consumer Division of OPACS- Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply-getS lots of mail from U. s. citizens nowadays, but it doesn't consist of mash notes
 True, some of the letters have been forwarded from the White House and begin with Dear Mrs. Roosevelt, we think you're marvel ous," or MT. President, we sure are praying for you" But they always get down sooner or later to their pet peeve-the rising cost of living.
 Here are some examples:

Priorities Hits

At the time of tbs writing all as
semblies are feeling the lack of
stock, because most of it is going
into defense orders. AS a result of
this the old men are getting short
err hours, and less pay than the
young men. In all cases of curtail-
ment lay-off it is a known fact that
more assemblers are walking the
street than the machine men, and
we do have a lot of these men out
at the MGR. The CLIO is training
these men for defense work in
their plants, but what is the EIU
doing at the CASH? When the
time comes that we have to cut
down on cash register production
where are all of these employees
going to? It is time that some one
put up a loud howl for more de-
tense work and more training, SO
there will be a place for these
people. Of all the defense work we
have it is a known fact it only
helps a few departments, and If
the OPM hits the MGR as it has
some plants LOOK OUT.

The Council endorsed the pro-
sedings and resolutions of the
Convention as reported by Brother
MARYLAND and requested that the
Convention results, since they are
of such far-reaching Importance,
should be brought before all Local
Unions. The Council feels that it
is of vital interest to every Union
member in Dayton to know first
hand, what actions his Internation-
al Union the CLIO =. is taking
in this time of world crisis.
Carrying out the thought of the
Convention resolution urging "all
possible aid to Great Britain, the
Soviet Union and China in their
heroic struggle to rid the world of
Nazism", the Council passed a res
olution presented by K. M. Kirk
endall of Local 800 demanding the
Opening of a Western Front in
answer to Hitler's attacks against
our country. Copies of this reso-
luton have been sent to the Presi-
dent, to our Congressman, to the
National CLIO and to all Local
Unions.
Local Unions wishing to have a
speaker address their membership
or stewards on the proceedings of
the CIO Convention may arrange
for a speaker by contracting the
Council office.

Speed-up

We of the MGR are nov facing
the problems that were formerly
those of the GIN employees, and
the job the Local 8O7 UE-CIO is
trying to do at the MGR is to stop
them before they happen to us. We
have seen the speed up that is be-
ing put in effect, we are beginning
to feel the lack of material, and as
time goes on we will realize we
are in the same boat IS our fellow
employees at GIN.
AS we stop and consider what
the EIU has done to stop all this,
we cannot say much for their eff
forts. Over two years ago the hue
and cry against the speed up in
assembly A was brought to the
attention of the EIU and Creamer,
but so far they have ignored it.
What we would like to know is
what kind of cases they handle,
when a complaint of this nature
has slipped their mind for this
length of time, or did the company
tell them to mind their business?

Union Is
Failure

Through years of experience the
workers in other plants in Dayton
have found that the company
union does not benefit anyone,
except the officials of a company
union. In all GIN plants in Dayton,
as a result of this, the employees
formed their own locals in the
CLIO, and have gone forward ever
since.
When the curtailment orders hit
Dayton it was no fault of the CLIO,
but rather the lack of foresight
of management to secure defense
work in their plants. The CLIO not
only went to bat for their men, but
held up the lay-off for over four
months. Since that time they have
got jobs for any number of men
and women that were laid-off,
and are now working with the
company and the government to
bring more defense work into
Dayton.

Defend Democracy
Defeat Anti-Lobor
Legislation!

The vicious, Hitlerite SMITH BILL, the CONNALLY
BILL, The ALL BILL and all other anti-union bills now
before Congress are a threat to labor's rights not only as
laboring men and women but as American citizens in a
democratic country.
Labors oaon method of settling disputes through
voluntary collective bargaining is the democratic, American
apay of insuring full maritime production form. 1t IS the
efficient acay. Compulsiom breeds discomfort. 1t does not
get at the underlying causes of disputes, but seeks merely
to freeze the symptoms.
There is little time or space to analyze the food of
repressive legislation streaming through Congress, but it is
important to recognize the following points as a key to the
anti-union poison contained in these bills:
/. Compulsory mediation and arbitration.
2. Freezing of wages and union shop condi-
tons.
3. Seizure of plants by armed forces and op-
Grating plants leaving the profits of the
owners intact.
4. Penalties against union members-denial
of rights under Wagner Act and Social
Security, etc.
S. Cooling Off periods that destroy the
right to strike.
We must fight against any bill that contains any Of
these antiLabor prouisionsl Instead of attempting to strGngle
us aoth sIave labor legislation, the CIO proposes q con-
structiue program including the Industrial Council plan, the
plan for voluntary settlement of disputes, and the Uarious
plans put foraoard by CIO unions.

interest to the safety and welfare of the nation, that ali
