 The handling of the aluminium shortage problem has reached tho comic opera stage.
 It's been headed that way ever since Edward R. Stettinius, at- tractive young chief of Raw Ma. terials for Defense, solemly pro- claimed there was no danger of a deficiency in this vital metal despite the warnings of plane makers and experts.
 Stettlnius doggedly stuck to his stand until one day he sud- denly slapped aluminium on the
 priority list thereby com. pletely reversing himself and admitting he had been talk. | ing through his hat.
 This move was followed by an- nouncements that In order to make the supply of the metal go as far as possible for defense pur. poses, It's use in consumer articles such 0 refrigerator ice tray, would be curtailed. But the latest aa. tic is really funny.
 From Stettinius' office, plane makers received Q telegraphic or. der not to sell their scrap aluyni. nun. Beyond that there were no instructions. So they kept 1t and soon had large piles of scrap aluminium cluttering up their plants, taking up valuable space. Finally they complained to Washington, wanted to know what 1t was all about.
 Explanation they received was that the scrap was wanted for resmelting.
 The plane makers couldn't be. lieve their eyes, because the shortage in the metal Is not in ingots but In sheets and forgings. So the plane makers let out Q loud snort: whereupon another explan. ation was forthcoming.
 Explanation this time was that the scrap was desired for It's magnesium content.
 This time the plane makers groaned in despair. For although

Selected Poem
SNOW

6NOW (Ayer in the Poets Column, Hartford Courant) Precipitation of the loveliest form The enemy of everything that's warm How ugly to the feeble oldsters sight How tempting to the happy child's delight And yet 1t falls in quietness and peace As if on life 1t had eternal lease A signal of great winters power to hold Us all enthrall'd within its mighty fold. Protector of new crops beneath the ground No truer farmers friend has e'er ben found. For now it hides the dirty gray of earth And gives all natures works gay rebirth For all its merits and demerits, snow Must be considered by all those that know As one integral and harmonious verse Of the poetry of natures universe.

A good rainstorn would go a long ways towards cleaning off the remnants of our last snowstor1n. Not that we want to wish any rainy spells on the city, but there's nothing like good heavy rain to clean up streets and hillsides. Of course there are after effects, such as exposed areas in which rubbish has been piled high for several months. But that's just an invitation to get busy and cleanup the premises.
