DeMOLAYS ENJOY OUTING

The DeMolay boys and their
girl friends went on a ski and
toboggan party Sunday, Jan. II
on the foot hills of the Sarpy
slopes. Late snow made the
slope very we'll covered and fine
for skiing or tobogganing as
the sportsmen chose. Between
80 and 40 persons enjoyed the
party with John Pickard as
chaperon. Lunch was served
with hot coffee after a rough
and cold winter day of fun. Sew
eral more such outings are be-
ing planned.

Farm Labor Situation
Is Given Careful Study
Government Devises Plan for Complete
Utilization of Local Workers to Aid IN

Washington, d. c.
As the New Year starts, reports
are beginning to come in to the Fed
eral Security administration here
from supervisors of farm place.
ment, in the 4S states. These reports
state lust what the farmers in each
state are going to need In the way
of labor this spring. and how these
state supervisors who are on the
ground studying the question, teel
the problem ought to be met.
Meanwhile, Washington has been
working on a general program
whose goal is the complete utlllza-
ton of all local labor. This means
that every conceivable reservoir OF
man-and-woman-power is to be
tapped to make this good earth OF
ours yield its utmost for the o
for victory campaign. Students,
members Of the CCC and the N4A
and every other group, organized or
unorganized, is to be called upon to
keep the chow line going for democ-
racy at arms.
Nobody knows better than the
folks who are out recruiting for he
farm battalions that you can't Just
push a man through the barn door
or into a pasture and call him a
farmer. 1t takes training and tina
is part of the master-plan which is
now being worked out.
But meanwhile there are a lot OF
people who have had farming ex-
perience who are available, skilled
or semi-skilled. And then there are
some jobs which don't need skills.
but do require mass employment
for short periods.
An Oregon Plan
Take what happened out in Oregon
this last fall for instance. Oregon
ians have already taken hold of this
farm placement idea and made it
work. Along came the snap-bean
crop and a drastic shortage OF
hands. They were found in every
walk Of life. It meant temporary
closing up of a lot of shops and bust
nesses and other enterprises but they
got the crop in and they didn''
paralyze the communities. I
couldn't have been done. though
with the best of will, if there hadn'
been a sound plan behind it
The farmers now have two com
petitors for labor. the factory ane
military service. Industry has al
ways offered higher wages. Blu
present farm wages are up higher
than they have been in II years
So the farm hand can't complain OF
that score. And the real patriot il
the one who does what he can d.
best for Uncle Sam.
Then there are still a lot Of farm
trained workers who have drifted II
the cities where they have no
secured employment or they hav'
found themselves misfts. The Unit
ed States employment agencies ar
going after these people and ar
going to lure them out Of their fiat
back into the fields.

Dabonka, boatswain's mate. into
trouble that night, Us miles out of

How he got himself into such a
predicament was recounted by Da-
bonka as he recalled he was sit

shipmate tell joke. He laughed so
hard he leaned over backward and
lost his balance.
The shipmate spinning the yarn
looked away just at that moment
and didn't see Dabonka fall. Then,
missing him, he thought Dabonka
must have walked away in the dark

disappearance for Is minutes.

Use Solo Stream In
Fighting Magnesium
Fire Bombs

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-New
instructions for fighting magnesium
fire bombs, using a solid stream or
jet of water instead of spray, were
issued today by the u. S. Office of
Civilian Defense, Regional Director
James c. Sheppard announced.
Extensive tests by technicians Of
the Office of Civilian Defense and
the Chemical Warfare Service of
the u. S. Army, have shown con-
clusively that using jet or stream
of water on magnesium bomb as
soon as it lands Is unquestionably
more effective and quicker than
previous instructions" Sheppard
said. "A speedy attack on the bomb
will knock it out in less than a
minute, thus saving valuable time
which can be used in attacking 9TH
er bombs nearby before they can
start serious fires. Sand should not
be used except where water is not
available or where it is not likely
to start fires.
with the new method we will
save more lives and more property
in the event of a raid. That is the
only sound criterion for judging the
matter. Great Britain and New
Zealand after extensive experiments
have adopted this new method with
excellent results
The new instructions reduced to
essentials are as follows:
/. Bring your fire fighting equip.

2. Shoot a jet of water directly al
the bomb without delay.
