O'CONOR REMINDS
PEOPLE OF DUTY

Pleading for a "keener state Of
awayeness" on the part of all our
people as regards the war situa-
ton, Governor Herbert R. O'COnOr
told a meeting of the Maryland
Chapter of Mt. St. Mary's College
Alumni that the shock of Pearl
Harb0r must not be allowed to
wear Off"
UNLESS, and until, the people of
America come to a full and sober
realization that this isn't a war to
be won in our spare time" Cover
nor O'Conor declared, and that
the civilian defense efforts re-
quired of all our adult population,
can never be predicated on the
basis that they mustn't interfere
too seriously with present busi-
ness activities unless, in a
word, we can come to accept the
realization that we, as nation,
are in mighty tough spot for
AiCH we al z Wy IIO LhCdllS chIC-
quately prepared, we will never be
able to buckle down with the de-
termination and the spirit of re-
solve that the times and our pre-
carious military situation demand.
Until our industries and all our
workers gear themselves to the
fullest possible use of all produc-
ton facilities, to turn out all the
planes that will be necessary to
insure us prompt and complete
mastery of the air; until all our
laboring groups dismiss once and
for all the thought of strikes and
shut downs to gain their own ends;
until the people of our State and
of all the other states of this
Union accept the fact conclusively
that the defense duties asked of
them must not be accepted half
heartedly, or on a convenience
basis; until all this is done, we
cannot honestly hold up our heads
and tell the young men we have
sent abroad to fight, that we are
doing our part at home"

TIPS FOR THRIFTY
HOUSEHOLD BUYERS

Thrifty Maryland housewives
who wait for the mid-winter sales
to stock up on sheets. pillowcases,
and other household textiles, may
wish to check over the points to
have in mind when choosing. Miss
Helen Shelby, specialist in cloth
ing for the Extension Service,
says that a good sheet is firm in
weave, practically free from sizing,
is torn rather than cut from the
bolt, and is hemmed with strong
thread and short, even stitches,
about to 4 to the inch.
She says that sheets with low
thread count are coarse and
sleazy. The more yarns to the
inch in each direction, the firmer
the weave. Satisfactory everyday
muslin sheets have finished
thread count ranging from 70 to 80
in the warp and from 6 to 7 in
VIC AiAhiAAS'
Good, durable sheets are made
in many weights. Medium sheets
will run from to Az ounces per
square yard.
The most satisfactory length is
from SO to 108 inches. Widths run
from 63 inches for a single bed, 72
inches for a twin or three-quarter
bed, and 81 to 80 inches for a dou-
BILE bed Bargain sheets are often
, smaller.
Miss Shelby points out that
sheets marked ''firsts" should be
practically free from weaving i'm
perfections, such as uneven yarns,
or thick or thin places. Seconds
may contain some weaving defects
and imperfect yarns, but il they do
not weaken the sheet in any way,
they may be worth buying and
should be cheaper than firSts.
Pure finish" means that only the
warp yarns have been sized to pre-
vent breaking in the loom. Heavy
sizing often covers up a loose,
sleaZy weave.
Recent tests made by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture in
which set of sheets was launder-
ed after every night of use in a
hotel indicated that all were serv.
iceable until laundered 1877 times
and some lasted through 252
launderings.

Officials of the University of
Maryland Extension Service point
out that furnaces will use less if
fire box surfaces are kept free
from SCOT and if flue passages are
cleaned frequently of ash and SCOT.
These materials serve to insulate
against heat absorption and their
presence results in higher chin
ney losses.

Lonely On the Hills
(By G. Cardinal LIE Gros)

When the hunter walks the hills
| am one with all he kills.
When the woodcocks, bright and
small
In a burst of feathers fall
Down to earth without a cry,
On the snow with them l lie.
When the timid cottontail
Gazes-cornered on the trail
Helplessly to East and West,
My heart beats within his breast.
| am lonely on the hills
When the hunter comes and kills.

recreational activities for the
school-age children who will be
without home supervision during
the vacation period because both
parents are working.
The program includes efforts to
minimize the harmful effects on
children and the community of the
employment of mothers of young
children on night shifts. Repre-
sentatives of organized labor and
industrial management will be
consulted regarding this problem
before recommendations for action
are made.
Plans for operation of first day
nursery provide that the Chill
dren's Bureau, through Miss
Heise, will supervise all activities.
Applications for day nursery care
will be reviewed by the Family
Welfare Association, Catholic
Charities and the Jewish Fedora
ton for Social Service, Dayton's
three family service agencies fl
nanced by the Community Chest.
Trained workers for the demon
stration nursery have been prom
Used by the WPA child protection
project, recently created to aid
war production areas in meeting
child care problems.
In addition to providing for the
care of some children whose
mothers r employed, operation
of the demonstration nursery is
expected to determine the extent
of the need for additional nursery
centers throughout the city as
applications for enrolment of
children are received.
Working mothers enrolling chill
dren in the day nursery will be
charged fees based on their earn
ing ability. These fees, however,
will cover as much as possible
, 1942-06-24

of the total cost of the carefully
supervised services offered. These
services will meet the standards
of the u. S. Children's Bureau for
health protection, nutrition and
educational training.
Since the fees charged working
mothers will not cover the entire
cost of day nursery operation,
the Council of Social Agencies
committee is making determined
efforts to obtain federal funds for
the expansion of the service
wherever it is needed in the city.
The committee, meeting Mon
day, June %, presented Dayton's
child care needs to regional repre-
sentatives of the u. S. Office of
Education, the Office of Defense
Health and Welfare and the u. S.
Children's Bureau and to repre-
sentatives of the Ohio State well
fare department and the Ohio
WPA.
Harold E. Whey, executive di-
rector of the Community Chest,
pointed out that the Chest recogn-
lied the seriousness of the child
care problem in Dayton and pro-
vided funds for an experienced
day nursery supervisor in the
hope that the federal government
would accept the major response
bility for financing expansion of
the day nursery program as a
vital part of the national war
effort.
With passage of a city ordinance
regulating day nurseries, Dayton
will become the second city in
Ohio to provide minimum health
and sanitary standards for such
institutions, whether operated
commercially Or on a non-profit
basis. Strict penalties are provided
in the ordinance for violation of
the regulations.

Miss Heise's appointment was
made possible by the Dayton
Community Chest through an
extra allotment of funds to the
Children's Bureau, a Chest agency,
for this program. The Chest grant
was made on the recommendation
of the Council of Social Agencies,
welfare planning body, that in
creased employment of women in
local factories during the coming
year would require a compre-
hensive day nursery program to
assist mothers employed in war
production.
Plans for a Dayton day nursery
program had been developed by a
special committee of the Council
of Social Agencies after several
months of study by local welfare
workers and leaders in civic, ed
ucational and industrial life.
K. NJ. Kirkendall, of UE Amalga-
mated Local 768, is a member of
the committee, which is headed
by Mrs. Wallace Paddon, vice
president of the Children's
Bureau.
Kirkendall also is chairman of
one of the subcommittee to
develop detailed phases of the
program. His committee has the
important assignment to select the
location of day nursery centers
and to obtain the necessary funds
for trained workers, equipment
and maintenance.

contribution to the War effort In the vital work Of expedifng ship
ments of needed materials to our armed forces and to our Allies
In the Far East, and
WHEREAS: We believe that all who are intensely devoted to the

the violent overthrow of our Government, and
WHEREAS: Labors struggle for full unity behind the War effort
deserves the sympathy and support Of all agencies of government
and the action of Attorney Biddle serves to confuse and antagonize
the workers, therefore be it

SHORTAGES:
u. S. Feels Pinch

One after another shortages of
various commodities and manufac-
tured products began to be felt, and
the average American began to
feel the pinch of war as he never
had felt it even at the height of the
last World war.
Some of these shortages could be
traced to lack of raw material from
the south Pacific; others to the de-
mands of the war upon industry,
still others on both.
First came the rubber shortage
and the consequent rationing of
tires, directly due to the Philippine
situation; second was the abrupt
ending of production of new pas
senger cars and commercial trucks,
and the rationing of them.
In line with this came Difficult
ties in delivering milk and other
commodities in larger cities and
towns.
The cutoff in sugar caused a
price rise, and the government
moved to buy in the major portion
of the Cuban crop. In many cities
this precipitated panicky purchas-
ing of sugar, with the result that
grocers started rationing it them
selves.
1t also was reported that there
soon would be instituted the ration
ing of spark plugs and batteries,
probably of other manufactured
goods associated with the auto in
duStry.

MALAYA:
At All Costs

While the British were seriously
being forced backward and ever
backward in Malaga, losing the cap
ital of the Federated Malay States,
Kuala Lampur, Sir Henry Pownau,
the commander in the Singapore de-
tense, made the statement that the
British plan was divided into two
general parts, first the slowing or
stopping of the Japanese attack;
second, the turning of the British to
the offensive and driving the in
vaders out. He said:
''We are now engaged in the first
of these activities"
Returning British wounded, how
ever, paid tribute to the fighting
qualities of the Japs, and members
of Commando groups said that when
confronted with the cold steel the
Japs would scramble up into tall
trees, from which they would hurl
grenades on the British "like mon
keys with explosive coconuts."
They were said to be adept at
hiding in small places, and that at
times furious fire would come from
directions in which it did not seem
possible that soldiers could find
cover.

mistic in Malaga, but it was re-

DEFENSE:
Reorganization

President Roosevelt recognized
growing congressional dissatisfac-
ton over the Civilian Defense team,
comprised of Mayor LaGuardia and
Mrs. Roosevelt, and while he did
not take LaGuardia's title of di-
rector away from him, he brought
Dean James NJ Lands of the Har-
ward law school down to Washing
ton to take actual charge.
The house had made discreet rep
reservations to the President that
Mayor LaGuardia, as head of the
nations largest city, had plenty to
do to see that New York's defense
situation was cared for, and had no
time to see to the country as whole.
They also limited around that Mrs.
Roosevelt could only be considered
a part-time executive, and that the
OCD needed hard work and full
time.
They recommended it be put into
the hands of the war department.
President Roosevelt's answer was
Dean Lands, but in the meantime
the house voted an inquiry into the
manner in which the problem had
been handled.
Mayor LaGuardia, Mrs. Roosevelt
and Paul v. McNutt had been sum-
moned to testify.

THE WAR:
UD and DO1Ur,

The war had become an up and
down affair, with the Russians win
ming all along their huge front, the
British gaining victories In North
Africa with the Germans on the run,
and the Japanese generally In the
ascendancy on the Philippine and
Singapore fronts, but taking, a con-
tinued whipping at the hands OF the
Chinese.
Such was the situation as there
was no longer any question but that
the large and well-equipped army
of the United States was on the
move to join battle actively in the
war, though the detailed where
abouts of that participation was
still a closely guarded secret.
Estimates of when the tide OF the
battle of the ABCD forces against
the Japanese in the southwest Pa
cifc would change varied consid-
erably.
Some observers felt it would be
weeks, others months, some who
were more pessimistic felt it would
be a year before enough American
pressure could be brought to bear
to produce a definite change in the
battle.
But that victory would be won in
the end, nobody seemed to doubt.
They watched the United States NOV
ing troops and ships, producing fast
er and faster more powerful arma-
ments, moving to put new soldiers
and sailors into uniform, and could
see but one result, eventual victory,
perhaps in 1913.
