Delightful and inexpensive Equipment Available

comes equipped with plates and
tumblers of plastic material.
stainless steel cutlery with COM
position handles, a metal sand
wich box and two one-pint vac
uum bottles. This complete model
is the one you'll need for serv-
ing a more elaborate meal.
On occasions like this you don't
have to limit the feast to hot
dogs" or other simple fare that
can be cooked over an open fire.
You can carry along a folding
charcoal grill that will cook al
most any kind of meat to perfec-
ton. 1t is made of metal and has
side pieces to keep the grease
from scattering.
Cooking steaks over an open
fire is fun, too, but be sure the

beStos gloves, special apron and
long-handled spatulas to elm
mate danger of burns. These
gloves are strange looking objects,
for they come in just one size and
you can imagine that the asbestos
makes them very bulky. How
ever, they are wonderfully prac-
tical and none of the picnickers
are going to worry about the fit.
For added efficiency there is a
can of liquid that can be frozen
like dry ice, and, in fact, is colder
than the same amount OF ice
cubes. This can be placed in the
container with solid foods to keep
them from spelling, but, OF course,
it is not satisfactory to place
directly in liquids of any kind.
These are the outstanding ar
ticles necessary for a successful
picnic. OF course, you can elab-
crate on our ideas by having spe-
cial tables, folding chairs and
other items, but don't forget that
excess baggage sometimes de-
tracts from the carefree spirit Of
outdoor excursions.

WAR BID. DECIDES TO
HOLD OPEN MEETINGS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). - The
National War Labor Board has decided
to open hearings before the full board
to the public.
"The practice by public bodies of
holding open hearings is one of the
hallmarks of democracy" Chairman
William H. Davis of the board said, in
commenting on the change in pro-
cedure.
Because of the national agreement
between labor and management that
there shall be no strikes or lockouts
for the duration of the war and that
all disputes shall be settled by peace
full means, the decisions of the board
have quasi-judicial character.

to as much information as possible
concerning the facts considered by the
board in reaching it's decisions"

Department, which read:
"The 10000 civilian workers in all

Four US. Agencies Recommend Policy
To Prevent Wartime Exploitation
OF Children in Agriculture
Childrens Bureau, u. S. Department of Labor Makes
Public Statement of Recommendation Measure Must
Be Planned with Consideration of Health, Welfare.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = A
Statement of national policy" from
four federal agencies, designed to pre-
vent the exploitation of school chill
dren on farms during the war emer-
gency, has been made public by the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor.
Children under 16, it was suggested
in the statement, should be employed
only in case of dire emergency and
then only after the United States En-
ployment Service had found it impos-
sible to provide an adequate labor sup
ply. Children under Ia are not to be
called upon at all, it was urged.
Children's Bureau spokesmen said
that the statement, in the form of a
recommendation, was planned to guide
communities and states and promote
a uniform system. The statement was
approved, after inter departmental
consultations, by the Department of
Labor, the U. S. Employment Service,
the Department of Agriculture and the
Office of Education.
Respect for Rights Urged

ciple that recruiting of young persons

LABOR COMMITTEE
HEAD DENOUNCES
REP. SMITHS PLAN

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-A pro-
posal of Representative Howard w.
Smith of Virginia to suspend the 40
hour law and other laws limiting the
work week, for the duration of the
war, drew a vigorous denunciation
from Representative Mary T. Norton
of New Jersey, head of the House La
Dor Committee.
Mrs. Norton assailed Smith, no.
torious for his anti-union diatribes, as
the spearhead of "little group in the
House who have never had and never
will have any sympathy with labor"
81 maintain that labor is carrying
more of burden than any other class
in the country in trying to achieve vic
tory" she said. "Day after day the
press records this fact. Contracts are
away ahead of time.
"The men are willing to work long
hours, giving of their best, and only
ask to be paid for their work. This
bill would deprive them of that. That
is not the way to win the war"
Democratic leaders said they would
oppose the Smith proposal until they
hear from President Roosevelt that he
was willing to suspend these "social
gains" SO far-no intimation has come
from Roosevelt, they added, that he
does favor such action.

with consideration for the health and
welfare of the youths involved and
must respect their rights in democ-
racy. Basic to this is the assertion
that school work and home duties be
regarded as the full-time job of every
child under IA years of age"
State departments of labor, educa-
tion and agriculture are asked to par
ticipate in the development of policies
and the possible modification of school
programs and to accept the employ
ment of young workers during normal
school terms only after the Farm
Placement Service of the United States
Employment Service, with full infor-
nation on the labor situation, has de-
clared that the anticipated need for
labor cannot be filled by older persons
School Cooperation Asked
The statement asks that youths OF
16 or more be employed first, adding:
SCHOOLS should make every effort
to develop programs that will wisely
dovetail school activities with agri-
cultural work and will result in nc
curtailing of school terms.
Children of Ia and Is are to be used
only "when the need for farm labor is
an essential one"

(From Editor and Publisher)
Manipulation of news is impractic-
able. 1t is also indefensible in the
u. S. A., for it is leaf right out of
the book of the dictators whose phi
losophy we despise.
Moscow kept the people of Russia
in darkness about the German ad-
vance last autumn until the foe was
almost at the capitals gates. Berlin,
Tokyo, and Rome treat news as some
thing to be rationed like ammunition.
The Russians don't know the differ
ence, for they have never enjoyed free
news. The Axis people can't do any
thing about it. Americans do know
the difference. American newspaper
men can do something about it, and
from their present temper, we think
they might if they suspect that any,
body in Washington is deliberately
monkeying with news.
Let's have the facts, without delay,
on what our armed forces are doing.
