We're bewildered. We're not

come out tops some day. But
we can't figure the thing out.
It's too big for us too far
from our vision of life.
We can see that we ourselves

paredness as did England, ?o-

But what Is the right answer:
How should we feel about this

These are the questions which
lie in all of our hearts today,
confusing us all. And they bring

remark by J. Krishnamurti. Re-

the reincarnate Christ?

come OF him now, but many of
the sayings he has left. seem to
have an almost divine under
standing.
They have that quality which
Christ's own sayings had, of
striking deep and straight to the
secret questioning Of each CON-
mon soul. The following para
graph, for example, though il
was written long before this
maddening war began:

Reading Books on the War
Should Be a National Habit

where can you find truth in all
this murk of uncertainty? You
want TO be fair but how can
you know what Is fair-how can
you be certain,
What's the answer? I don't
know il myself. I'm as fright
ened and confused as you are.
and as discouraged. But I can
tell you how I'm trying to win
through despite my ignorance
and bewilderment.
I'm clinging hard to those
fundamentals of decency which
1 have found through expert
ence. extend TO all human life
wherever ii may function.
And I'm fighting to protect
those standards in my own life
and the life Of my nation.
But even as / cling and fight
am reaching out for more
truth for a fuller realiza-
llOfl Oh WOTlQ lie.
l fully believe we Americans
are the finest and most success
full people on earth. But because
of that very success, we are
often most ignorant.
We rarely bother to under
stand conditions beyond our own
boundaries. or even within them.
If we don't like situation
we laugh il of. and take the
kids OF to a movie. But at last
we are up against a situation
which cannot be laughed off.
which has penetrated even our
isolated complacency. We are
up against world war.

But seeking honest informa-
ton from expert authorities is
not national habit. But we'd
better make II one. And quick.
And there's only one way to re-
lieve our national ignorance and
prejudice. read the books Of the
intelligent commentators who
have been through this war so
far and know what it's all about.
Seeking the truth? You'll
never get 1t by gossiping over
the back fence with Mamie or

You'll have to dig for Il In the

Here's Your Army-and
CaIIinq Red Cross Workers
By IRENE N. HAWKINS
Women's Editor, The Detroit Times

J. Vincent Dwyer. chairman OF
production.
The war department has re-
quested the Red Cross to make
three-quarters of a million sur
sal dressings by September /.
This means that the several
thousand volunteers who have
already been trained In the Red
Cross surgical dressings will
have to be supplemented by
many thousand additional
workers.
The Red Cross is asking all
experienced surgical dressing
workers to report Immediately
to Red Cross House by calling
FItzroy 5000, or TO the surgical
dressing station nearest their
homes.
Enron immediately
All women who have not had
this experience and who wish
to learn are asked TO call Fitz-
roy 5000 and enroll In one Of
the many classes being formed.
Mrs. Dryer pointed out the
gigantic task that lies ahead
for the next year and a half
and that use must be made OF
every available woman to put
the Job across. Mrs. Dwyer In
particularly anxious that the Is
organizations enrolled year
ago as emergency groups, get In
touch with the Detroit chapter
Immediately as TO date only 10
of these have signed up for this
new program.

II pays to think ahead in cut
ting flowers. II you want them
for noon Of a certain day, cut
them the night before, or else
certainly by 8 o'clock in the
morning.
Either bring them into the
house and put them into a deep
container with water almost up
to the flowers, or else take a
pail of water right into the
garden while you cut them and
put them directly into the
water.
No matter which of the above
you do, store them in q cool
place such as a basement, for
several hours until they have
soaked up all the water they
possibly can. This will not only
make them keep longer, but will
also prevent their bending over
at some part of the stem and
assuming a grotesque position.
II you are particularly de-
sirous Of keeping stems straight,
put a collar of stiff paper around
several stems. holding them to-
gether and extending downward
from just under the flowers to
the water line.
Seal Ends
Certain kinds of flowers bleed
from the stem when they are
cut, so the cut end must be
sealed In some manner. The
easiest methods of doing this are
either by soaring In a flame or
by immersing in boiling water
for a few minutes.
Among kinds that need this
treatment are hollyhocks, hello
trope, and dahlias. Lack Of seal
ing IS the cause Of most wilted
cut dahlias. Even after the stems
are sealed, these flowers must
still be placed in deep water,
just as the others were.
Keep the flowers In these deep
containers until you are ready
to arrange them. And even
then, be sure the bowls or vases
you are putting them into have
several inches OF water at the
bottem. The flowers will con-
tinue to drink II up, 50 Il must
be replenlshed daily.

Labor Acton Brings
Release Of Arrested
Lisbon Dock Workers

New York City ULNS).-Notwith-
standing the absence of free POrtu-
guese trade union movement and strict
state supervision of all labor activities,
a strike of lockers and lOngshOremen
in the port of Lisbon, occurred late in
October, the American Office of the
International Transport Workers Fed
GRAFTON is Informed.
The strike, which aimed at wage in
creases for the Portuguese harbor
workers, was countered by the arbi-
trary arrest of 15OO strikers at gov
ernment orders. Immediately follow
ing the arrests the leadership of the
street car employees and other trans
port workers of Lisbon informed the
government that the street car men
and other public transport workers
would go on strike at O'Clock of the
same day If the arrested strikers We're
not released.
The solidarity action of the workers
was successful. All arrested men We're
released at 3 80 O'clock, just half an
hour before expiration of the labor
ultimatum.

Unions Urged To Aid
Ldbors War Relief

Washington, ID. C.-All Central Ia
mitterS throughout the country who
are cooperating with their Community
War Chests We're urged by Matthew
Woll, president of the Labor League
for Human Rights, to mobilize organ
ized workers behind labors special
war relief budget of S2,25OOO
In all likelihood" said Mr.. Woll
in his message to the labor bodies,
your Chest has Il favorable attitude
towards Labor's War Relief Budget.
You can assure favorable action by in
forming the Chest of labor's interest
in seeing that the Chest allocates the
amount requested by your regional
office This is the way that labor's war
relief budget is to be raised, since. in
accordance with the agreement between
the Chest and United Nations Relief,
union members are making all their
contributions TO war relief causes
through your local Community War
Chest"
This budget of $2,25O,OOO, the mes
sage continued, has the approval of
the Presidents War Relief Control
Board, and of the Executive Commit
tee of the National Budget Committee
for War Appeals. 1t provides for spe-
cial labor aid to Britain, Russia and
China"

started until some time this summer.
He did not get his plumbing permit
until July q.
At any rate, Pegler's silence on the
whole question is deafening
Pegler did go to the Fairfield county
WPB some time in June for his
priority ratings.
E. J. Huss, who heads the priOritieS
division, insists that he has no au-
thOlity to tell the press the details of
Peglers application.
It's Deep Secret
Raymond l.. French, chief of the
WPB in Bridgeport, says this:
"As far as | know Pegler complied
with the regulations--if he told us the
truth"
No one cares to reveal what reasons
Westbrook gave when he requested
permission to buy materials.
Peg and his contractors dodge the
question at every turn.
Even on the matter of hiring union
labor, William DeNike, his plumbing
contractor from Ridgetield, answered
with a cagy, Sometimes | do and
sometimes | DON'T
Assuming that Pegler did comply
with WPB rules, however, people in
Ridgetield today are nevertheless ask
ing one question:
HE made sure he got Il lot of pub
licity when he gave his bumpers 10
the scrap drive, but doesn't it look
sort of phony when you see him build
ing that big house up in Ridgetield?'

Victory In ShipYdrds
Won By Boilermdkers

The international Brotherhood of
BoilermakcrS won National War La
bor Board decision establishing for
the first time in The North Atlantic
area the principle of single top wage
rate for skilled Shipyard mechanics
This decision sustained an agreement
negotiated by the BoilermakerS and
other AFL unions with the South
Portland ShipbuIding Company at
South Portland, Me-, under which all
mechanics were assured of the stand
ard rate of at least $1.2O an hour.
Hitherto, the South Portland and
all other yards on the North Atlantic
had maintained three wage classifica-
tons, under which two-thirds of the
mechanics were paid less than the

or tried to, the other day, at the house
he is renting Pegler cringed behind a
latched screen door and permitted him
self bare two inches of open space
through which to scOwl at the re-
porter. He refused, however, to answer
any questions, finally slammed the
door.
Newspaper photographers who took
pictures of the Pegler mansion from
the public highway were chased by
some of the contractors non-union
labOrerS.
Apparently what Pegler didn't want
publicized, after the glorious gift of
his auto bumper to the scrap drive,
was the fact that new copper flashing
appears around the many chnneys of
the house, and yards and yards OF
bright copper drain pipe, hundreds of
feet of iron pipe, a bright new boiler
and furnace, four bathtubs, three
showers, five assorted sinks and
basins, with plumbing to match

aged to get several thousand square
feet of metal lathing, galvanized elec-
tric cOnduits and about 100000 feet
of lumber-when other folks can't get
any of this stuff for new homes.
What makes the folks of Ridgetield
sore is the fact that Peg builds Il
mansion while the WIPE issued an
order back in April shutting other
folks off
The WPB order said it's purpose in
issuing the order was that "all con-
struction which is not essential, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the successful
prosecution of the war, and which in
wolves the utilization of labor, mate
rial or construction plant urgently
needed in the war effort, be deferred
for the duration of the emergency"
That was supposed to mean Pegler,
too. But apparently it didn't
Under the WPB rules, civilian,
including Peg, can buy building mate
rials to develop mineral resources, or
produce or distribute oil, if the esti-
mated cost of the structure is not
more than $500, or if the building is
for agricultural use and the estimated
cost is not over $1,000.
PriOrities, Too
An ordinary civilian, not i big shot
columniSt, can get priorities if ne
made contract TO buy materials be
fore April II, 1912, and if that mate
rial was delivered before July 30, and
he can get permission, if work on the
building was started between July 81
1941, and April 10, 1912.
Peg undoubtedly planned to build
before April for he bought the prop
erty few days after Pearl Harbor
