Here to Solve
Labor Problems

Lieutenant Colonel William II.
Nelson of the Service of Supply is
one of Fl officers assigned in a
new national advisory scheme to 81
key industrial centers, to co-ordi-
nate army contracts and to be To-
Gated with District or Division En-
gineers. These officers will work
with the Army and Navy Civil
Service boards, the United States

they are all either Engineer, Ord
nance or Chemical Warfare Off
GERS.
In serving as military adviser on
manpower problems, Nelson's as
signment to smooth out "manpow-
err difficulties includes labor sup
ply, housing, training, pre-training

War Workers
Now DRIVING
1q42 Pontiacs

"War workers have at last re-
covered from the filters that over
took them when the freeze order
was first applied to dealer stocks
of new cars" said Ralph Malone,
president and general manager Of
Totem Pontiac, in an interview
for the Victory Worker.
They are now convinced that
the government actually wants
them to buy new cars, not only as
a means of transportation to vital
ly important war jobs, but to help
relieve critical transportation con-
ditions.
These practical-minded victory
workers know that new car own
ership gives them tire insurance
for the duration, and insurance
against mechanical troubles result
ing from worn out parts, and as
well gives them the comfort md
prestige of new car ownership.
$50 they are buying new Ponti-
acs with keen appreciation for
the fifteen new features packed
into all 1912 models.
Used car sales show the same
stepped activity as new car sales"
Mr.. Malone concludes, but there
are still a good assortment of de-
pendable vehicles from which to
choose"
Mr.. Malone points out that
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son emphasizes that it is the pa
triotic thing for those eligible to
buy new cars to take advantage
of this privilege, which actually,
will help win the war.

GooIie Gardiner Seeking
Fourth Shutout in Row
In Contest Tonight

The Washington Lions tonight
will continue their pursuit Of third
place in the Eastern division of the
American Hockey League. which
would stake them to a spot in the
championship playoffs, at Uline
Arena when they battle the Pitts
burgh Hornets, cellar club of the
Western division.
Goalie Bert Gardiner will be
seeking his fourth successive shut
out on Uline ice, having disposed
of Buffalo, 20; Springfield. 10,
and Cleveland, 20. in the Lions
last three appearances here. In
those games, incidentally, the Lions
displayed their finest form of the
season, and no small portion of
the credit belongs to Tony Graboski,
talented defenseman.
1t is significant that since Gra-
boski and Winger Erwin McGibbon
joined the Lions several weeks ago
that Coach Ching Johnson's out
fit has improved remarkably. Gar
diner is obtaining more proficient
protection around the net, and it
chiefly has been Graboski who has
been giving it to him.
GARDENERS performances can't
be belitled. however, for the spry,
slick-haired net protector has been
giving the Lions a brand of goal
guarding they haven't enjoyed all
season.
The Eastern League Eagles will
swing into action at Riverside Sta
dium on Tuesday night, meeting

Eagles will battle the Boston Olym-
