Registration Days
February Ia, is. is

Only nine simple questions will be
asked those men who register on Feb
ruary IA, Is and is for possible mill
tary service under the provisions of
the Selective Service Act, Lieut.. Col
G. w. Goble, State Director of Selec-
tive Service emphasized recently.
Registration of the individual should
require Il comparatively short time,
the Director said, pointing out that
the registrant will not be asked TO
fill out questionnaires but must only
answer interrOgationS about his iden-
tity, his place of residence, and his
mailing address. Also he will be re
quired to list his telephone, if any his
age i'm years and date of birth, place
of birth, the name and address of the
dress, his employers name and address,
and his place of employment or bust
ness.
While it Is important that reGstra-
tion be conducted as speedily as pos
sible, Director GOble said that every
resistrant will be given ample time to
respond properly to the questions on
the registration card, which on this
occasion will be green. White and
melon colored cards, respectively, were
Service registrations.
No questionnaires will he given reg
istrants when they register February
II, - and 16, nor will they then be
required to undergo any physical eX-
animation, Director Gnble emphasized.
While registration must be conduct
ed ns of February rs to conform to the
Presidents Proclamation issued early
in January, Governor Bricker has also
announced that registration may be ac-
Sunday, February II and Is, between
the hours of ~ 200 Noon and 6 200 T..
NJ, as well. This advance registration
Is authorized to avoid interference with
war production.
When registered, each registrant
must answer, according to Director
GOble, the following nine questions ::
,QD Name of Registrant GU Place
of Residence; CD Mailing Address Cir
other than Place of ReSidence) ca
Telephone: co Age in Years and Date
of Birth (O Place of Birth; (O Name
and Address of Person who will al
ways know your address; (S) Employ
er's Name and Address, and CO.. Place
of Euployment or RuSineSS
After a registrant has answered all
questions and signed his name to the
registration card, he will be given a
registration certificate signed by the
registrar. The registrant should he
warned that he must have his regis
trHticn certificate (FOrm y in his per-
sonal possession ut all times and that,
upon request, he must exhibit it to
any law-enfOrcement officer. any Off
cial of National Headquarters for Sc
lective Service or of State Headqunr
tprs for Selective Service, or any mem
her of the local board or board rf
appeal. Failure To possess the certifi
cate. or To show II to authorized per
sons, constitutes II violation of Selec
tive Service Regulations and is com
Sideretl prima facie evidence of failure
to register, Director GoDle said.

Widespread Hiring
Of Women Is Seen
Should Not Be Restricted To
Least Skilled Jobs In
War Industries

Chicago ULNS). - Women should
not be restricted to the least skilled
jobs, but should receive supplementary
training If they are to be effectively
employed in war industries, Miss Mary
Anderson, director of the Women's Bu-
reau, Z. s. Department of Labor, told
the American Management Association
here.
ne-fourth to One-third of the air
craft assembly jobs can be done by
women she said, commenting that she
knew of only one aircraft manufacture
ing center where supplementary train
ing courses are open to women, al
though "all these centers have training
programs for men,.
Speaking before a morning session
of 3-day conference of the assOcia-
ton. Miss Anderson told her audience
of industrial leaders from all parts
of the country that it is easier to re-
cruit women than men, simply because
there are more women ready to be
hired.
Fitted For Skilled Work
Pointing out that supervision of wo-
men presents no different problems
than supervision of men, she went on
to say that I'VE believe it is important
to have a woman personnel official on
the administrative staff"
"WOmen can do certain notably
skilled work after training. They have
the ability to work to precise tOler-
ances, and can detect variations of ten
thOusanIlths of an inch. Women can
make careful adjustments at high
speed with accuracy.
breakdown of production processes
into simple and less skilled operations
has brought them within reach of the
great potential woman labor supply
she said.
II look to immediate widespread
hiring of women for the sO-called first
jobs I'm factories, the semi-skilled ones.
Most recent reports from visits of Wo-
mems Bureau agents to plants indi-
cate that pre-employment training is
not considered necessary for many OF
the jobs women are being hired for.
"SOme jobs requiring great patience
and finger dexterity can be done better
by women" she continued. "WOmen
adapt themselves readily to repetitive
jobs requiring constant alertness
strong fingers and tireless wrists.

Group Insurance
Now In Effect At
Locul Union No. 6

Wheeling, w. Va.-No. reporting
again, but without much news, things
are resting quietly in the vicinity for
the potters. i notice the boys are all
having their cigars lately, donations
from two proud fathers. Charlie Liep-
hart ST. is passing them out in honor
of the new son at his home. Brother
Tim Kinney of the glost kilnshed is
the proud father of baby girl and
is he walking on clouds. Paul Car
ruth has his chest thrown out. After
all Paul you are only an uncle. Not
meaning to tell tales out of school Paul,
but there seems to be a lot of eyes
ON you lately.
We praised the former shop commit
tee recently, now it is time to hand
out bouquets to the present one. They
have received settlements on several
matters that have been hanging fire
for sometime, such as getting the kiln
men about $4OO protest money that has
been due them for some time back.
The N. B. of o. =. group insurance
is now in effect Every brother and
sister should be pleased, as it is hard
to find insurance anywhere on such
basis. Insurance is something that
every one needs plenty of for later
years.
Don't forget the regular meeting
Monday, February is. Everyone
should try and attend the meeting as
there are several matters of Importance
to be brought up for discussion. Also
the auditing committee will make re-
port and this is of interest to all.
/ believe we could get a better at
tendance if we decorated the hall. My
plan would be to get one of the 1898
bars and have few of the boys dress
the part, then our members could dis
cuss the affairs of the trade at the
bar rather than on the street corners.
What's the matter brothers, have you
forgotten the oath you took when you

Locul Union No. Is
Sees Steady Work
For Members In AZ
New Shop Committee Ap-
pointed; George Reed
Joins Amy

Trenton. n J. - We hear by the
grapevine route that the prospects for
fairly steady work in the new year
are very good. Our work last year
was the best we have had for some
time and the boys are busy now figur-
ing out their income taxes, and how
much they owe to Uncle Sam. We hope
he makes the most of what we con-
tribute, and that no one will hinder
him in doing everything possible to
defeat our enemies.
Another thing that gives us much
cheer is the way the new shop COM
mittee is taking hold of things We
believe they will have the full support
of every serious thinking member and
any one who is not willing to play
ball, had better watch out or the bat
may come into play. Those on the
committee for the coming term are
Robert Hannah, chairman; j. Snyder,
j. Glover, l.. Stout, f. Thompson, w.
Civinsiy, G. Smith, II. Leckie, S.
Paine, j. Ryder and Bros. Schwoader
and Carrabelli.
One thing that irks them very much
is the practice some have acquired in
starting before 500 a. m., especially
where it is not necessary. so as to be
through in eight hours. But if Il slow
man does this, the fast man cannot
see why he should not do so.
For many years our labor leaders
f,,rht ,;,ybt
jeopardize it now that we have it, by
working before hours or during YOUR
lunch period
The hall at 522 Perry Street does
not seem to be quite satisfactory SO
the trustees and all members are asked
to continue to be on the lookout for
something more suitable.
Brother George Reed has left to
join the army, we wish him luck and
hope that our members will give all
selecteeS Il good send-Off and not for
get them after they have gone. Cigar
cites, sewing kits, razor blades and all
toilet articles are among the items
which are always acceptable.
We are sorry to report that Brother
Al Culver is to have an operation this
coming week on an injured elbow,
which has become serious. We hope
all will be well and he will soon be
back at work.
We are glad to see that Local Union
No. & of Wheeling is back on the air,
and many others who have been silent
for quite some time. We too would
like to know where Washington gets
its statistics, in computing the rise
in the cost of living, it seems to us
that it is on the rise all the time.
One excuse that our milk board gave
for another cent raise on each quart
was that they and not the customer
paid the last one put on Il few months
ago. Well there has been so much pro-
test this time that perhaps they will
think twice before they raise it again
We wonder too if Washington is sin
cere in its talk of putting ceiling on
the prices of commodities, we under
stand that Ottawa has done it and if
that is true why cant it be done here,

Announcing the beginning of an in
tensive effort to make clear to EN-
ployers that there is no unqualified ban
ON the employment of aliens, Federal
Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt
said:
"The only restriction on the hiring
of aliens is in the case of secret, con-
fidential, or restricted Government con-
tracts and in the case of contracts for
for aircraft parts or accessories. And
even in such cases, nOncitiZens may
be hired if permission is obtained from
the War or Navy Department, which
ever is concerned"
Aliens Turned Away
Reports to the United States EN-
ployment Service from many indus
trial communities indicate, McNutt
said, that aliens are being turned away
from plants of all types in increasing
numbers, Notwithstanding the generally
recognized need for the utilization OF
every available worker in the country
This understandable but wholly un.
warranted reluctance of employers tC
employ aliens in their plants" McNutt
said, 'has been deplored by President
