Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
N. C.. State College

Every garment in active service
is a good slogan for the patriotic
homemaker.
Keeping this slogan in mind,
why not divide the family cloth
ing into the following groups: D
Those garments ready for use;
(2) those garments needing re-
Yairs; 90 those garments that
can be remodeled; and az those
which can be used for other pur-
poses.
Not even hopeless garments
should be discarded.
When buying materials be sure
what the fabrics are made of and
or whether they will fade, shrink
or lose their finish when cleaned
or washed.
Appropriate, comfortable, dur
able clothes are necessary to every
family's efficiency and morale.
In view of the shortage of new
pressure cookers and the absolute
necessity of canning all food pos
sible, pressure cookers both old
and new-should be looked upon
as a trust from the Nation. Patri-
otto plans should be made, there
fore, 50 that each pressure cooker
available will serve several fanl-
lies. Not only will you be patriotic
to lend your pressure cooker but
help your neighbor or friend use
it if she does not know how.
Buy sparingly and carefully
only goods necessary now for the
health and welfare of your family.
Carry packages. Shop for your
neighbor and let her shop for you.

RoseviIIe Moy Reconsider
Action on PoyroIIs
Petition Seeks 10 Per Cent
Pay Hike for Municipal Workers

ROSEVILLE-A petition ask
ing the village commission of
Roseville to reconsider its stand
on the matter of municipal en-
ployes' salaries was in the check
ing stage today following its
presentation to the commission
at its meeting Monday night.
The petition was presented to
the commission by Ivan CAVITY,
a member of the Macomb
County Committee for Good
Government who, on submitting
the petition, asked 10 per cent
raise for all municipal workers
as well as a five per cent bonus,
to be paid in war bonds.
Submission of the petition
highlighted a stormy session at
which CAVITY and two other
members of the committee ex-
changed verbal shots with
Village President William c.
Harper and other members of
the commission.
Both Harper and Commission
er Joseph Schneider pointed out
that the commission had not re-
fused to grant salary increases
to the police and fire depart
ment personnel and other mu-
nicipal employees. They contend
ed that it is impossible to grant
any raises at this time because
the budget as drawn up for the
1942-43 fiscal year would not
permit such action.
The salary dispute originated
a month ago when Henry We'll
kenbach, commissioner of public
safety, recommended raises for
policemen and firemen. In Of
fering his recommendation Well
kenbach cited the rising costs of
living. The same thought was in
jected at Mondays meeting by
CAVITY and another member of
the committee, Howard Canute.
What action will be taken by
the commission was not indicat-
ed, .other than it accepted the
petition and ordered a check of
the signatures.
Prior to the salary issue the
closing of the recently con-
structed municipal wading pool
stirred up debate between
John 10th, chairman of the
village plumbing board and the
commission. 1t was upon Toth's
recommendation that the health
department ordered the pool
closed last week on the grounds
that It was insanitary. The pool

Tax Credit Urged for Parents Of College Student
Union Denies
Restrictions
Of War Output

MUSHROOM, Mich. Aug. A.
(P)- A war plant workers
statement before a United States
commissioner that his union re-
stricted individual production
was met by a denial from Off
GERS of the union today.
Arraigned on a charge of will
full destruction of government
property, Hubert c. Cox, AZ. said
he destroyed some airplane en-
CINE parts because he was ang-
cred over a union restriction on
workers daily output.
In Chicago, Roy Petit, pres
ident of Muskegon Local 637 Of
the United Automobile Workers
(CIO), and James r. Brown, q
committeeman, issued a state
ment of denial. Cox is a men,
Der of Local 637. He is employ
ed by the. Sealed Power Corp,
which has contract with the
union.
THE union has set no limit
on production in the foundry or
in the shop" the statement said.
However, they are working to
a standard, which, overall, in
creases production"
Petit and Brown said the
production system required a
uniform rate of speed by indi-
vidual workers. Molders, they
said. could produce faster than
other departments could handle
their products but that would be
a matter of individual skill rath-
or than any union order.
The two union officials were
in Chicago attending the JAW
CIO convention.
A company spokesman said
the management had been seek
ing for more than a year to elm
mate what he called a union re-
striction on production. Another
spokesman said foundry work
ers were holding back produc-
ton "to protect the piece-work
structure"
Cox, who was arraigned on
complaint of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, was held by
Commissioner E. c. Farmer in

laps Increase
Guinea Forces
Convoy Eludes
Allied Bombers

GENERAL MAC ARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS, A u stralia,
Aug. - R - The Japanese
have sent more ships down the
New Guinea coast to the Papu-
an Peninsula, presumably with
Buna area, it was reported here
today.
These ships, which eluded AL
lied bombers, were believed to
have carried only small num-
bers of men and supplies. The
original force put ashore on the
peninsula was estimated at be-
tween $500 and $500 troops.
When the Japanese made
their first landing in the Coma
Buna sector on July % the in
vasion armada included two
heavy cruisers, three destroyers
and five transports, of which
one transport was sunk and two
others hit.
SITUATION UNCHANGED
A headquarters communique
said today that the situation re-
manned unchanged at Kokoda,
about halfway across Papua to
the Allied base at Port Moresby.
Allied planes strafed positions
held by the Japanese patrols in
that sector yesterday, starting
numerous fires.
Other Allied planes raided the
Lae-Salamaua area, some $50
miles above Buna, yesterday
and hit an enemy cargo ship
which the communique said lat
er was beached and still burning
today.
A separate headquarters an
nouncement reported that a
small British trawler escaped in
an attack by submarine, the
first reported enemy submarine
activity in this region since mid
June. Two of the trawler's
crewmen were killed and four
injured.
BROUGHT TO FORE
The shipping question was
brought to the fore today by the
Melbourne Sun is an editorial
which charged there is abund-
ant evidence that in connection
with this important aspect of
the war effort a state of affairs
exists which would be discredi-
table even in time of peace"
Delays in dispstching ships,
go-slow methods in handling
cargo and. wholesale pilfering
are three evils which call for
drastic remedial action" it add
ed.
The Sun said this not only was
delaying essential supplies but
was "gravely hampering efforts
of the government to secure
more ships from United States
authorities"

ment which deteriorated under
the stress of war time maximum

Senator Guffey (D-Pa) said
he had received favorable COM
ment on such proposal and
indicated something of the ma
ture might be advanced when
the committee considers his pro-
posal to increase to 100 per cent
the House-approved 90 per cent
tax on excess corporation prof
its, with a 20 per cent rebate af-
ter the war.
Guffey said he had asked
Treasury officials to furnish the
committee with an opinion on
his proposed amendment. The
Treasury has suggested that the
80 per cent tax be retained,
with 10 per cent postwar re-
bate.
The committee heard propos-
ais yesterday from Laurence A.
Tanner, representing the Com
merce and Industry Association
of New York City, and others
for the imposition of a retail
sales tax, but Mrs. S. H. Gill
man of Irvington, N. j., speak
ing for the New Jersey consum
ers Council, commended that
such a levy would have "per-
nicious" effect on persons in low
income brackets.

Tanln,any Hall
Sphinx Dies
Christopher Sullivan
is Dead at II

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-R)-
Christopher D. Sullivan, ~, the
sphinx of Tammany Hall who in
% years as a Congressman new
er was known to make a speech,
died last night.
The big politician, whose rud-
dy face under thatch of white
hair was a familiar sight in
Washington, New York and AL
bany even if his voice was sell
dom heard, collapsed in the Sec
ond assembly district Democrat
ic clubhouse-his last stronghold
since his custer last February
from the leadership of Tam
many.
Cause of death was not an
nounced pending further exam
nation.
He had complained of feeling
ill while attending a meeting Of
district officers and died on a
couch before arrival of a doctor.
A native New Yorker, Chris
ty"-as he was known entered
the real estate business as a
young man but politics was his
prime interest. In the latter
field, his methods differed wide
ly from the run-of-the-mill poll
tician's.
Throughout his political hey
day, New York State Senator
from 1908 to 1915; U. S. Repre-
sentative from 1917 to 1910;
Tammany chieftain from 1897
until six months ago-he showed
an aversion to publicity and the
limelight.
Strictly q acknowledgements
manipulation, his modesty and
shyness on his few public ap-
pearances won him the nick
name of 1.-THE Sphinx.
He retired from Congress in
1910 to give all his attention to
Tammany, the New York county
Democratic machine for which
he had been less able to obtain
patronage in either the national
or state capitol.
Last year, with Mayor F. H. La
Guardia's reelection for a third
term, Tammany broke wide open
and three months after the cleo
ton more aggressive leaders
forced Sullivan into retirement.

hard to find 20 million Of them that

the 20 just advanced to five Central
American countries to finish the road

These countries, already closely
tied to U. S. economy, will be oil the
more SO when overland communication
is possible. The ability to truck supplies
and equipment to the Panama Canal
might save that artery in some emer-
gency when SEQ communication should
be interrupted. It's hard to see how we

And now how about the road to
Alaska? The same considerations op-

many friends. His father sent
him money along the way.
One night near FL Paso, when
the expedition was meandering

and the wagon crashed into old

new Faithful - for $45 this
time plus extensive repairs
