Comments on "Demise"
OF Movie Propaganda Inquiry.
To the Editor Of The Star:

1t is reported that Chairman D. Worth
Clark has dissolved his movie propa-
ganda investigation "in the interest OF
national unity" In the interest of the
record it should be said that this fiasco
ended informally some months ago when
this alibi was not available to cover its
inelorious demise. It was allowed to
die without ceremony because it had
become so ridiculous and discredited In
the forum Of public opinion that even
its hackers began to realize It was .
decided boomerang.

thing to do when American lives are

Shortage OF
Men Is Felt
By Teamsters
Local 443 Finds 10 to Is
Members Joining Armed
Forces Monthly

The call of men to armed services
is making itself felt in a shortage of
truck drivers in the Bridgeport area,
John J. Allen, secretary-treasurer of
Local 443, Transfers Union, said this
week. A similar shortage is affecting
the small delivery and routemen, it
was learned.
Ninety-four members of Local 443
are known to have joined the armed
services. Others may have joined up,
Allen said, without notifying the
union. Since January l, this year ten
to fifteen members a month have
joined the services. William Cappetta
is the most recent member to have
volunteered for service. He enlisted
in the Navy.
With the Army on one hand taking
men and with war production on the
other hand demanding more men for
manning trucks, the result is a short
age which is felt more keenly as time
goes on, said Allen.

Averages Make
Needed Reading

The annual report to stockholders
of the Bethlehem Steel Corp.for 1o41
states that during the year $7o7, 623
was paid in pensions to retired en-
ployes. At the end of the year there
were l,7O5 retired employees on the
list. This makes the average pension
less than $468 year. Among the
new pensions, says the report, "were
pensions at the rate of $4,000 per
year to Messrs. c. Austin Buck and
George H. Blakeley, respectively,
who retired as officers and employees
of various subsidiary companies at
the end of the year." That brings the
average pensions of the rest of the
boys down to just under $439 per
year.

Minotti Urges Use of Clay
Products to Aid Vital
War Program

Officials of Local No. 2, Bridge
port Bricklayers Union, this weel
urged a more extensive use o.
bricks and tile as substitutes fol
Iumber-in which shortage exists
for construction work. Officers
of the Bridgeport local have
offered to advise private or public
concerns in the matter of wider use
of clay products, i'm response to an
appeal from the WPB office.
Michael Minotti, Business Man
ager and William Bowden, President
of the local, pointed out that tile and
brick can be used in many instances
in place of lumber in frame construc-
ton.
PLENTY OF BRICKS
They pointed out that there is nc
shortage in the production of clay
products, but that there is an antici-
pated shortage of six billion board
feet of lumber during the next IL
months.
Minotti said that the Bridgeport
Local would do everything within its
power to prevent delay of abandon
ment of vital war construction due
TO the lumber shortage. He quoted
Ben Alexander, lumber co-ordinator
of the WPB on the use of brick and
clay products as a substitute for lum-
Der in construction work.
BRICKLAYERS SERVE
MinOtti's statement follows:
"The majority of our members
already are engaged in essential
war work for the Army and Navy.
However, thousands of bricklayers
and masons are unemployed in
nOn-defense areas and are eager
to serve their country.
"Our union officials will gladly ad-
wise private persons or public officials
concerning the wider use of brick and
tile, and in response to an inquiry
from the Lumber Co-ordinator, the
union has assured him that they will
extend all possible cooperation to
see that vital construction work goes
on without halt during the crucial
emergency caused by the need to use
wood for vital war purposes other
than for buildings"

First Modern Furnishings Offered Homes Complete Break With the Pas
| Why Grow
|Old?
By Josephine Lowman

It's the little things that count
up big in life and love and beautyi
Many women and men have sought
divorces because of small lacks
rather than big ones, and a woman
will stick to a man through thick
and thin If he brings her a rose
once in q while, makes her feel
needed and important and notices
her newest hat.
Some one has said that genius
Is an infinite capacity for taking
pains. This is certainly true of
beauty. Attractiveness as we think
of it today is within the reach Of
every woman, If she Is willing to
work for 1t in many seemingly small
ways.
She may have hair that is healthy
and well groomed, with no wispy
angles; a skin which Is well nour-
ished with correct food, Is cleansed
and fabricated regularly; a queenly
carriage, q symmetrical figure and
that verve which comes from the
bubbling spirits of health.
Clothes spotless and well pressed,
collars crisp, fingernails well cared
for, stocking seams straight, a be-
coming and youthful hair-do; sim
pie, well-cut lines and effective COL
ors in clothes, shining white teeth
and well-brushed and adequately
plucked brows all add up to per-
Sonal magnetism.
Truly, you can have the kind of
charm and attractiveness described
above, no matter what your age or
your income! Check with the things
mentioned. If you have been care
less about the grooming Of your
hair, don't be again; if your nails
aren't as carefully tended as they
should be, change that; if you are
overweight, lose the extra pounds!
Beauty Is the resulting tout en-
semble" of many, many attendances
on her.
II you wish to have help in
your attempt at self-improve-
ment send a Scent stamped,

sonality." Address Josephine

FavOrite Uses
For Several
Salt Fish
Many Are Creamed
And Are Popular
With Family

The world owes much to the dis
covery which dates back to the
Stone Age that flsh could be dried
and salted for future use. In many
countries fish OF this type forms
the basis Of typical dishes.
Our own favorite uses for salt
goldfish are In the two dishes
creamed Goldfish and Goldfish balls.
The latter may be purchased ready
to fry. FEnan haddie Is generally
creamed and sometimes scalloped.
Every once in o while serve mack
erel baked In cream.
Then there is kippered herring,
which comes in canned form and
can be used for breakfast, lunch or
supper. Baked or mashed potatoes
seem to go particularly well with
salt fish for the two latter meals.
You have probably tasted herring
with sour cream and onion when
served as an appetizer. This can
now be purchased In quart jars
and will keep at least a week in the
refrigerator. Smoked salmon pre-
pared in the same way Is also avail
able. Either Of these will make q
good main dish for lunch.

Give eChildren
Occupation
At Party
Will Enjoy Selves
If Shown Outline
Of What to Do
By Leffice Lee Street,

The secret of a good party in
honor Of the very young is to give
them an outline of what to do, fol-
low through promptly and then keep
them at 1t busily. Supposedly, the
tempo of any festive occasion Is
keyed to the sparkle in the hostess
eye. Heaven knows there is no
necessity to quicken the pace OF
a children's party; rather, the trick
Is to successfully abate and control
the delirium Of Joy and excite
ment. If not, all is lost. including
order, q good time, most Of the
bric-a-brac in the house, the
mothers nerves and the children's
tempers.
But the look in the mothers eye,
while pleasantly saying. I'm glad
to see you and we are going to
have fun" can at the same time be
calmly determined enough to make
the children understand that no
rude and violent behavior will be
allowed.
When the small guests arrive,
some solemnly shy, some glggl1ng
their greetings, but all obviously in
the throes Of delight over the pros
pect of a party, it is a clever and
far-sighted mother who announces
agreeably to each newcomer, First
every one is going to take their
coats upstairs and then we shall
play Farmer in the Dell Cor any
game YOU choose until everybody
is here"
Even 10 minutes of waiting Is
more than wiggling young party
goers can endure, so keep them
occupied
This sort of maneuvering and in
struction need not be "bossy," nor
is it to be likened to the mothers
customary management Of her own
child or brood in the comparative
order and peace Of her everyday
household routine. Reason tells us
that to plan, describe, order and
dictate every move q child makes
will soon render him lazy and inca
pable of developing initiative and in
dependence.
But a party is q different situa-
ton; here you have a group OF
shiningly scrubbed lads and lassies
done up within an inch Of their
short lives in best suits and fluny
frocks, ready to frolic and rarin' to
60. They also feel sense Of aban-
don If they are out of eye and ear
shot Of mummies or nurses. Some
one has to take charge, has to de-
wise an orderly schedule that is also
fun, II disaster and tears are to be
avoided.
Not only are children likely to
have q better time at party that Is
neatly planned, but to . certain
degree they need similar treatment
In their daily lives. A younsster Is
happiest when he feels secure In the
Judgment and guidance Of reliable
parents.

skin accepts as lubricants. 1t should
be left on at least 20 minutes, in
most cases, and often overnight.
Its purpose is to smooth tiny lines

that "crinkled" look that comes
from weather and dryness.

That is, thoroughly cleanse, thor

A. A cream that tried to do both
would be q compromise between the
light-cleansing type and the heavy

@. How can I identify a good
quality face POWDER
A. BY its lack of graininess and its
softness to the touch; by its even
color and smooth finish.
@. Is there a home test can use

A. Put small amount on a piece
Of paper and. pressing hard with
your finger tip, streak 1t. If the
thinned-out streak Is grainy look
ing and uneven in color, 1t may act
the same way on your skin.
@. How can I select the right
shade Of face powder?
A. Try to match your skin tone.
Face powder Is darker in the box,
but few women realize how dark
the skin is. Don't wear too light
powder.
Q. What makes q good lipstick2
A. Good, smart colors and soften
ing properties that make it spread
evenly and look attractively moist
Q. Which type is indelible?
A. No npstick Is completely in

@. What Is the difference between

G. Do creams grow hair?
A. No, II they did cosmetic manu-
facturers would be In the hair

Q. VIII any cream eliminate

A. Not deep ones Of muscular
tissue, but rich emolients often
help to soften dry lines and surface

@. Would it pay me to make my
own cosmetic?
A. You could make your own

cannot do as good a job as the

ments discussed earlier give you
valuable protection.
