Rush Continues For
1941 Auto Licenses

Last-minute purchases of automo-
bile license tags by owners Monday
swelled the total figure 5000 sales by
the Hamilton deputy registrars, Mar
tin A. Coyle, $50 High Street, and
Mrs. Lillian Kinzer, $50 High Street.
Though the total number of tags
sold is about 1000 short of last years
total at this time, balance will be
reached soon, it is expected.
Both agencies reported they were
just as busy up to noon Tuesday as
they were Monday, the last day OF
sales.
The 1941 tags were required after
midnight Monday. Police Tuesday
said they had not been required to cite
any motorists for the use of the ex-
pired 1910 tags.

The Supreme Court upheld an Hi
nois state court injunction prohibiting
peaceful picketing on the ground that
the strike had been accompanied by
considerable violence. Justices Black,
Douglas, and Reed dissented. In the
minority opinion, Justice Black
pointed out that the state court had
granted its injunction, not on the
ground that violence would accom-
pany further picketing, but in the
belief that the strikers had no right
to interfere with the distribution of
milk. He declared that the majority
decision had opened up "new posi-
bilities for the invasion of rights guar
anteed by the first amendment"
The decision has been widely criti-
cized as opening the door to injunc-
tions banning peaceful picketing.

OBTAIN SECURITY
ACCOUNT NUMBERS

Workers who get employment in de-
fense projects, both in construction
and in plant operation, are, in the
vast majority of cases, covered by the
Social Security Act. Such workers
will save time and trouble for them
selves and for their employers by OBJ
tanning social security account num-
bers before reporting for duty in their
new jobs.
This statement was made this week
by S. E. Stratton, manager of the So
cial Security Board field office in Ham
ilton. Commenting on the necessity of
such workers having social security
account cards, he said:
"Many men who are finding jobs on
defense projects have been working in
non-covered employment or have been
self employed during the time the So
cial Security Act has been in opera
tion. There has been no need for such
workers to have social security num-
bers, consequently they have not OBJ
tanned their cards. The same is true
of housewives who have not held job
in commerce or industry since jan
uary 1, 1887, and who are now finding
temporary employment replacing men
who are working on defense projects
or who have been called for military
duty.
"All such workers, and others who
do not have social security account
numbers, should obtain their cards at
once, and present the card to the en-
ployer so he may record the name and
number properly when the new worker
first takes up employment. This will
save time and trouble for all con-
cerned. Account numbers are issued
daily from 8 until 5 and up to noon
on Saturday, at our office in the new
Postoffice Building" he added.

part in Chest plans. Representatives
of labor groups are active in Chest

SOCIAL SECURITY
BOARD TIPS

Most contractors erecting defense
plants demand that all new workers
show their social security cards before
beginning work. This statement is
made by S. E. Stratton, manager of
the Social Security Board field office
in Hamilton. He says defense con-
tract workers will save time and
trouble for themselves and prospective
employers by getting social security
account numbers before reporting for
duty.
Housewives who find temporary en-
ployment in commerce or industry, re-
placing men who have taken defense
industry jobs, or others who have been
called to military service, must have
social security account numbers. Work
of such. nature is covered under old.

Twenty million punches OF ba-
nanas!
That is the number you might
count in a good years harvest in
Honduras if you saw them all to-
gether and if you had the patience
to keep counting.
AS a matter of fact, the bananas
would rot before you could count
them. To count 100000 you would
need at least half year of time,
even If you kept it up day and
night without stopping to eat or
sleep.
Honduras is o small republic in
Central America, The million people
who live there are mainly Negroes
and Indians. There are, however,
some Spaniards and O few Ameri-
cans.
If Honduras had a better climate
it would be giving the world more
riches than it is giving today. With
in its borders are mines which yield
gold, silver, copper, platinum and
nickel. These mines are worked to
some extent, but the unhealthful
climate and the poor means of
transport have kept the country
from making great use of its mineral
wealth.

known as the Mosquito Coast
This section borders the Caribbean
Sea. 1t contains natives who are

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle
-Bonunus Product of Honduras

Coconut trees yield so many Coco
nuts that more than 100000 Of
them can be exported each year.
Ranking above the coconuts are
bananas. They grow on tall plants,
which look like palm trees but
which are not classed as true trees.
Usually they are from 10 to Is feet
high.
When we see a bunch of bananas
in store it hangs upside down"
as compared with the way it grows.
At harvest time three men 60 to-
gether to a banana plant. One of
them, the mule man." handles the
animal which takes the fruit to mar
ket or, in some cases, to truck or
railway station.
When the bananas reach a Sea-
port they are loaded on waiting
vessels with great speed. This is
done mainly by machinery. AS many
as $4,000 punches may be placed
aboard in IL hours.

SUBURBAN HEIGHTS

West opened the deuce of hearts,
dummy played low, and East won
with the heart ace. East realized,
from looking at the dummy, that he
could gain little by returning
hearts. The best chance to defeat
the contract lay in returning spades.
If West had high spade or if
South had the ace and king alone,
there was a chance to get five
tricks.
South won the spade return with
the spade king and thought things
over. He could win four tricks in
the majors and four diamonds with
out pausing for breath, but one club
trick was necessary to make the
game. If he began on the dia-
monds, the opponents would take
the diamond ace and knock out the
ace Of spades. Then they would get
in with the club ace in time to
run the spades and defeat the con-
tract. So South decided to steal
a trick.
With that thought in mind he
led the ten of clubs. West ducked,
hoping South planned to finesse.
But that gave South the club trick
he needed, and he could afford to
abandon clubs in order to knock
out the diamond ace. East re-
turned a spade, but South was able
to take the nine tricks before Civ
ing up the lead again. West should
have seen through the sWindle; put
ting up the club ace and return
ing a spade would have led to
the defeat of the contract.
