AMERICANS AT WORK

The American people buster than ever before, according to the statistics at hand. But they are not working nearly long hours, even under wartime pressure. as they did quite some years ago The average work week today is ACT hours. year ago it was 457 hours Four-fifths of the people at work in America working more than 40 hours a week, the theoretical maximum and the actual maximum without overtime in occupations covered by the Wage Hour Act.
 All told there are 53,3O0OOO persons at work. This compares with a figure of 40,000000 which used te be regarded few years ago, as a standard of our working population Some of them are working ex- tremely long hours, more than the ideal for maxi mum efficiency. But the average worker putting in 467 hours a week is doing somewhat less than hc could without risk to health or efficiency.
 British experts have decided that 52 hours is about the maxmum for full efficiency American govern ment officials, who naturally do not take the war seriously the British do have set 48 hours as the standard maximum.
 One interesting feature of the survey recently made is the revelation that it is not industrial workers whose hours of labor have been increased sharply On the contrary it is farm workers who have pitched in and expanded their work week Only very small proportion of industrial workers are working longer hours than year ago. In part this is ex- pained by the fact that the average work week in key industries stepped up before we were actu- ally at war.
 In time shall have to search earnestly for great CT man power Some of it can be found among the 9000000 men and women now working less than 4C hours week. Some of it be found among per sons not working. But eventually we must shift and women from nonessentia industries to vita war production and also lengthen the working week of those already in useful production.

Why Real Americans Boil
(The Daily Olympian)


 What happened to Don Mario singing band leader in Providence, Rhode Island, few days ago is another one of those incidents that make real Americans get hot under their neckwear. Mario was fined $500 by labor union executive board for join ing patriotic gathering in singing The Star Span gled Banner at time when his country is fighting the most desperate in it's history.
 The issue is clearcut. The Providence Citizens Sunday Recreation Committee sponsored three park entertainments and paid union rates for professional bands to play the music.
 Mario, whose orchestra entertaining at night club offered to give its servicesas added feature not to dspace the paid union musicians The Provi- dence local of the American Federation of Musicians refused permission, and suggested that Mario him. self should sneak out of town for the day rather than go to any of the affairs.
 Instead, Marc accepted membership in the official party, which consisted of the mayor, the actress Sylvia Sidney, and four others
 When the paid union band played The Star Span gled Banner everybody began singing Mario stand ing between the mayor and Miss Sydney, joined in.
 Subsequently he notified "fraternaly" of the $500 fine by the executive board which held that by singing the national anthem he had made a per- onal appearance forbidden by the union.
 Mario was ordered to pay the fine by September 5. Otherwise he can be suspended from union member ship and deprived of the means of livelihood
 He can of course, appeal. The international union is headed by that outstanding citizen, James Caesar Petrilo who has forbidden the making of records or transcrptons whose New York local forbade the soldier band of the military show This Is the Army, to play at the opening of a service mems social center.
 When a private organization fine any man $500 for singing the national anthem in public or in private, free for pay in wartime in peace it is, )ne helluva situation
 If that isn't n-American, what is?
 Does Congress does the President ever fret about such things?

Wake Up, Ketchikan
tKetchikan Chronicle)

0ketchlkan ChrOnicle)
 Last month, money flowed around Ketchikan as it seldom has before But very, very little of it found its way into war bonds and stamps In fact, xetchkans showing last month is ground for dis ppontment and shame.
 The figures show very conclusively that lot of people aren't buying nearly many bonds as they could and should be buying. Countless individuals here making more money than they ever made before, more money by far than they need for decent living. It up to those people to realize that this is war that the war isn't going to be won except by sacrifice, and that the investment of spare cash in bonds is about the least sacrifice we're being asked to make We don't give the money away We just save it. simply use 1t now to help beat the. Axis so we'll have something on which to live when it's all over There can't be plain speaking enough to those n- iividuals who shrking their duty in the matter 2f buying war bonds Certainly the record of these recent prosperous months indicates that some people are shirking.
 All this doesn't that lot of people aren't buying war bonds to the hilt They are. But they can't do it alone
 ketchikan's Rotarians have decided to open a booth or two where bonds can be conveniently bought so there won't be the excuse that there's no place to buy bonds after hours.

spite the blockade, Germany was able to send goods valued at B. 000,00 pesos to Argentina during the first half of 1942.
 When U. s. Embassy officials heard of this traffic, they asked the Argentine Government how it was being maintained. An official of the Central Bank of Argentina said he was unable to answer"
 But the answer is that about 80 percent of this material consisted of military equipment purchased by Argentina from Germany be- fore the war began, and which is just now being delivered, with Bri- tish consent. Of the remainder, part came on blockade runner from Europe via Brazil, and part came from Japan to Chile before Japan was belligerent, then was sent overland to Argentina.
