Women! Here are some

Whichever "maybe' fits you, we are inter- ested. We have that extra work = a chance to take part in worth while work in an in- dustrial city.
 We invite you to visit our Personnel Desk. Miss Meta Heitman, Personnel Manager will be glad to talk with you.

Maybe you have extra time you can spare. Maybe it's only from now to Christmas. Maybe it's as little as four hours a day or only certain days week. Maybe you want something more permanent. Maybe you've never worked before. Maybe you don't need the money, but well come the opportunity for putting extra dollars into War Bonds. Maybe you just feel the patriotic urge to do something.

Leave Wardens Alone

THE spirit of civilians toward Derots effort is
i admirable. In every phase of volunteer activity,
whether it be OCD Red Cross USO any other of the
manifold branches, they respond enthusiastically and
labor eagerly.
For that very their duties should be allotted
with prudence and planned regard for how the various
chores fit into the whole program of local defense and
production.
If criticism all justified it should be directed at
those few civic leaders who look upon the Detroit
war contribution as sort of happy community frolc
where everybody joins hands and does everything The
patriotism of the volunteer leaders is beyond question
but is eervescent that is in peril Of splng
and dissolving their judgment
TAKE air raid wardens for instance These are and
women seriously trained to undertake posts of the
Importance the event of actual enemy air raids
Upon their competence and the thoroughness of their
schooling literally depend the lives of Detroit citizens dur
ing actual raid
They must be imbued with the conviction that they
are essential key officials Most of them busy at
their normal regular jobs that the added burden of air
raid warden training is about all they handle
Recently it decided they were Just the group to
ring door bells in the bond campaign here More
recently it decided they just the group tackle
similar subsidiary tasks.
OUCH tasks certainly worthy and an integral part
~ of Detros participation. They should be done
seriously and capaby But they should not be assigned
TO air raid wardens
If our wardens are to be looked upon merely as handy
men available fer every ackofaltrades job that pops
up they will cease to be good air raid wardens
They should be left alone to concentrate on their
primary services Those services are explicit
Other people should do the other jobs

III IltE Ed lOks
SINCE all we can hear is war,
~ cooperation, buy bonds, etc,
how can a man who saw service
overseas in World War |, do
this when he can't find a job,
his own trade being out because
OF materials?
He has made several apphca-
tons for work in defense plants
but never receives call--he
even said he'd push a broom,
but they all want experienced
help.
Arc the ones they have being
kept out OF service because they
are young and experienced, or
are they going TO give the older
service man a chance 10 do his
bit or is he 10 be cast aside as
finished?
He is able to work though too
old 10 go into service now But
he has done his bit in the World
War.
Is there an answer TO this
problem?

The Balkans Awaken


TOUR American bombing planes have landed in Turkey
after completing highly successful mission
The planes are reported have been part of force
of Is which left Rumanas oil fields in blazing chaos.
This gives the so-caed middle war new char
acterand most ominous character from the viewpoint
of the Nazi-F Fascist commanders
Hitherto the conflict in the lower Balkans has been
local matter between the occupied but far from con-
ouered little nations Of the area and the German and
Italian intluders-prctty much one-sided fight,
But with American bombers operating in the region,
it becomes an entirely different matter.
IF THIS first attack is followed up in force the principal
i source o. oil for the machines of Hitler will be in
eopardv-snd the forward movement of the whole Naz
offensive on the eastern front may well be checked
Nothing could demonstrate the long of American
production to Nazis forcbly than successful
attack in the Balkan area with strong indications that
it will be a sustained attack.
The whole Naz scheme of in central and eastern
Europe his bcen b~s2d on the theory that American
production vile aGm;,,cdly capable Of enormous volume
was barred from the scene by distances involved
Acceptance of this theory what largely nfiu-
enced Rumana Hungary and Bulgaria instinc-
lively friendly to the United States to become vassal
states under Naz Germany
The apparent soundness of the theory is largely what
has influenced Turkey lying in the path of Naz invasion,
to cling to neutrality and appeasement.
THE utter hopelessness of American help the
i cotic with which Germany drugged the Rumanians,
the Bulgarans and the Hungarians-and to a lesser
extent the Turks.
But we can be sure the entire Balkan region is stir
ring from its drugged stupor after this initial visitation
by roaring American motors and blasting American
bombs.
The Turks have received the nterned American air
heroes and only technically prisoners and have
not even tried to conceal their gee the incident
The formerly SNUG Germans SNUG no more.
They recall the steady stream of American bombers
which frustrated the invasion of Britain
They know what it means to confront American
bombers in Libya and on the Russian front. ~
They are fully of the great naval defeats
suffered by Japan from the guns and racks of American
bombers
LII these achievements have resulted from expanding
"A American war production. And the bombings in the
Rumanan oil fields have extended American produc
ton to the Nazs backyard.
President Roosevelt said in his Flag Day message:
THE peoples of the United Nations taking the
sword from the oppressors' hands. With II they will
destroy those tyrants"
1t is more than a shadow of the falling sword which
was the Balkans 1t the sword itself, and
it will fall again and again and with increasing force
and destruction until "the brazen tyrannes pass and
IMAM marches forward toward the light" the Pres
dent promised

threatens, II II does not destroy,
our civilization"
WHAT a growing parasitiSm
w is doing 10 US:
For 10 years brlbe after
bride has been thrown 10 a soft
ening nation, which has been
greediIy Tapped up. Formerly
the people Of this nation, which
boosted Of individual as well as
national independence, scorned
charity In any form, but during
the past few years a craven pau
perism has not only been offered
to the people but openly and
braZenly received with no trace
of shame. What was formerly
badge OF disgrace has now
become a vested right. While
Boosting of our material COM
fort, we have lost our spiritual
vigor."
Also Doctor Cutten has the
courage 10 take the SNUG par
sons for a little ride"
SMINISTERS preach against
A'A war, mOrallsts write
against war, people I'm general
deplore war, but we hear none
of these people condemning the
sOftness which gives us war and
destroys our civilization. Do
YOU hear ministers pray, Lord,
DESTROY our comforts Lord. re-
move our laziness,' Lord, help
ns to do an honest days work
Lord, give us more hard times
DO YOU? don't. We want 10
eat our cake and have IL, but
can we
regret Doctor Cutten's de-
parture from Colgate Univer-
sity. But maybe he will from
time TO time give us some more
OF his hard-bitten philosophy. 1t
is far better that it comes from
free individuals than from
ukases by the state, as in the
slaYe-nations of Europe.
