occasionally, and seemed none the
worse for it. He avoided the ex-
cessive drinking that Daniel Web

to have full command of himself at
all times.

say nothing of the pitiable victims
of strong drink, there is the fellow

Fewer Complaints
In Timber Industry
Most Operators in Full
Accord with Wages and
Hour Law

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 4
Compliance with the Wage and
Hour law in the timber industry

tion-wide drive since last June, has
improved to point where most OPP
orators in this region, montana,
Minnesota and the Dakotas) are in
complete accord with the Act" ac-
cording to L. A. Hill, regional di-
rector of the federal Wage and Hour
Division.
Producers and dealers in this
area have reported better COMPETE
tive conditions since the drive was
started Mr.. Hill said, due in part
to the elimination of unfair, SUBJ
minimum wage conditions in other
sections of the country"
| A report of all cases closed by
/ the regional office since the first
of the year, several of which were
lumber cases, shows that $19,253. AZ
in back-wages was paid to 235 Mon
tana workers.
A majority of the cases are closed
without the necessity of court action.
This policy has been approved by
the administrator of Wage and Hour
Division where investigation dis
closes that employers did not in
tentionally or wilfully violate the
law and where no aggravated cir
cumstances of any kind are pres
ent, Mr.. Hill said.
Individual amounts paid in resti-

Tool Makers Go
In Draft List

That the army is drafting men
from all walks of life and with
little regard for their occupations
in civil life was made evident in
a survey of the latest draftees
who were indicted here.
Several of the draftees were
employed in plants engaged in de-
tense work and the men were
working directly on defense prod
uctS. There were several tool and
die workers, aviation mechanics
and similar workers.
The Army. indeed. drafted one
man right out of the army service
itself. He is Peter Babij. %, OF
1904 East Grand boulevard. Babij
for the past eight months has
been employed as an Inspector in
the war department ordinance di-
vision. whose offices are in the
First National Bank Building here.
He has been assigned with 80
other men to inspect the flow of
defense materials coming out of
Detroit plants.
There was some talk of de-

New ManpOwer for Britain
Cincinnati Enquirer


Declaring that the crisis of equipment virtually
has passed and that crisis of manpower will DOM
mate the next twelve months, Prime Minister
Churchill has called for extension of the con-
scription age limits and the power to compel young
to in uniform
These two steps win make 100000 more Britons
eligible for service and at the time free other
men for combatant tasks by broadening the work
and the personnel of the various womens services
No compulsory service for women is contemplated
except for unmarried women between 20 and 80
years old No women will be compelled to serve in
'lethal combatant" branches
The need for enlarging the pool of available
man and woman power is self-evident The theater
of is spreading vastly Britains farflung armies
must be maintained. and uninterrupted stream
of tanks, planes, and guns must be sent to the Brit
ish and their allies in Europe, Africa, and Asia
This calls for even more accelerated production at
home and further expansion of industries
AS the Prime Minister indicated, it may be nee
essary before the has been to stretch the
CONSUMPTION limits further. The proposal ex-
pands the age brackets from 10 to 49, years, and
from Al to So In the World War, the upper con-
scription limit 81 years.
Now that it is assured that Britain will fight in
the future equal terms in technical equipment,
Britain's task is to marshal the manpower to keep
that equipment moving and to build strong mobile
army to cairy the to the Continent

DRESS REHEARSAL

Tonight Alaska's Capital City will go into
blackout for the first time in two weeks
During that time, lot of organizational details
in the matter of setting up civilian defense unit
have been ironed out. Also, during the two-week
interval, a lot of public advice has been given re-
gardng preparations for emergency signals which
may at any moment call for the city to douse its
outside light.
% In almost every business house and home in the
whole Gastineau Channel area, blackout material
has been installed so that on a moments notice it
can be placed windows to shut out light from
the outdoors Defense guards have been instructed
on just what they must make when the alarm
sounds and know exactly the post they to take.
The stage has been set for the performance of this
grim precaution, whether it be for practice in
event of real emergency Tonight is the time for
a dress rehearsal.
No trick of playing soldier is this. The is
too close to for play acting or Glowing. Alaska
is nearer Japan than are the Hawaiian Islands We
not borrowing trouble with these preparations,
but we are getting ready best may, for any
eventuality
That is why there be slip-up in per-
Torrance when the fire horn blasts its 1-2 signal
tonight The city must be BACKED out just as it
would be blacked out if enemy planes suddenly APP
peared No single person may be allowed to en-
danger the rest of this by his failure to
operate The local defense board has appealed for
complete cooperation of all persons in the interest
of general public welfare The city council has pro-
vided penalties in the form of fines and jail
for those who do not act in compliance with
the blackout rules The occasion is war. The black
out is being carried on in vital seriousness.
And this is it should be. If to be
raided by the enemy, chances that will have
little warning. We must work fast for the
utmost security of homes and families
AS matter of fact, it could be entirely possible
that the time scheduled for tonight blackout might
coincide exactly with the issuing of real warning
1t is with that real emergency in mind that
must act and act quickly tonight when the alarm
sounds

GOOD INSTRUCTIONS

Employees of the Standard Oil Company of Cali
fonia have been given instructions by their
president, H D. Collier, which certainly bear re-
peating and may well be needed by all U s. citizens
in these days of war when buildings and bushes
may be studded with ears anxious for information.
Here's what President Collier said
Every member of this company must do his
utmost to help win this In every possible way
must aid the government and the military forces
One of the most important ways of contributing to
success is to protect the Army and the Navy by
framing from discussing their activities
I'VE in contact with the armed forces at
many points Our employees often observe Army
and Navy activities THESE THINGS MUST NOT
BE REVEALED Keep such information to your
self. Don't even tell your friends.
"A casual comment about the movement of
ships naval or merchant, about the movement
of troops might be of great value to the enemy and
lead to disaster. Military authorities are pleading
that the public refrain from gossip and the spread
ing of rumors
I'VE have here most serious duty. Therefore,
my earnest request to all employees is to SERVE IN
SILENCE. DON'T REVEAL MILITARY IN
FORMATIONS"

Unity and complete cooperation
among the United States, Canada,

Gated. These countries are linked

Double Venus contacts between the
United States and Canada assure
complete cooperation, it is fore

realize, or to express the necessary
partnership with us, but there is
every sign of future cooperation
which will be most fortunate for
the Americas.
