know they will be in war service
soon. Most of these men are mar
ried, with kids to look after. But in
the grim game ahead of us they are
all looking forward to doing their
full share.
I'm the second place, they all have
more than a few pals now in some
active branch of war service. They
know the sacrifices these men have
had to make. They know the harder
row they have had to face. And
so their pride has made them stick
closer to simpler living and the way
of life that would leave them ready
when needed.

'Tve had Iinemen," Curly says,
"whO would report at ESQ pounds.
These men now come in at 23O or
225. They are ready to go. Others
who were from 10 to 20 pounds over
weight in other seasons, reported at
about the same weight they knew
after a hard year last winter.
Practically all of these men have
been keeping in shape for months.
Maybe that isn't much to ask, but
at least it is something. 1t may be
more than many others are doing
who haven't been called.
"This is all a new sign of the
times" Lambeau continued "It
means we are going to have from
now on far better conditioned set
of men. 1t means that millions of
us realize the old, soft days are over.
1t means a big jump in national
fitness. And I think we've needed
this lesson.
Life, as we knew it, had been
pleasant. But has it been physical
ly helpful? Haven't we had too
many of our people who led soft
lives, physically, who took poor care
of their bodies? Who drank too
much? Who ate too much? Who
took little exercise? And so died
well before their due time? I think
so. So do most of the coaches and
trainers who have seen men report
from 20 to 40 pounds above the
weight they should carry. And this
goes for almost every part of our
people.
Il NelU Age
with the expected exceptions"
Curly carried on, eve are coming
into a new physical age for the
young and the middle aged-even
for those past go.
''They all read about and know
about the rigorous training of the
Commands, the Naval Cadets, the
Parachutists, the marines, the SOL
diers and sailors.
Here we have a war that really
means the survival of the fitteSt.
Fittest, of course, means brain and
spirit, as well as body. But please
don't forget the big part that phys
ical fitness plays in stamina and en-
durance, especially.
"This is why I still insist this
country needs all the competitive
sport it can get. And that is why
I know that football plays, and can
play, big part in this program.
Football means physical fitness,
body contact, alertness, spirit, sac
riflce, team play, and the ability to
carry on when you are either hurt

Next Wednesday

Detroit will blackout for 10
minutes next Wednesday night,
and IL will be the blacklist black
out yet, with most, if not all,
war plants participating.
This ives revealed today by a
letter okaying a tri-county black
out from Maj. Gen. II. S. Aurand,
commandment OF the Sixth Service
COMMAND to Mayor Jeffries.
The blackout will run from
p. m. to $40. with the sirens
bowling the alert at 8:57. 1t will
embrace Oakland and Macomh
counties as well as Wayne.
In approving ii. General Aurand
stipulated that participation in il
by a war plant must not cause
any serious interruption to pro-
duction."

Detroit war workers must forgo

said in Washington today.
Stressing the fact that 100000
licenses have been issued
in Michigan. the war manpower
said:
"It has been estimated that
between 5000, 900 and 100000
man hours will be lost In
Michigan alone.
"Five plants there have re-
ported that so per cent Of their
employees are going hunting"
Late war bulletins from
Africa leave no doubt I'm any
ones mind that our war output
must not be allowed TO slamken.
We must all forget eur personal
desires and concentrate on build
ing the planes, tanks, ships and
guns that our fighting men
need so urgently.
Every worker should make
sure, before he goes, that his
absence will not hamper pro-
duction."

three other StlplatlonS were:
AL vital installations shall
be adequately protected from sabo-
tage.
Public utilities shall ade-
lquately plan for the sudden
changes in loads.
3-All plants except those ex-
empted will blackout at the alert
ing signal. Each plant will re-
main BACKED out as long as is
determined possible. Participation
for the full period. however, is
strongly urged wherever consist
ent with these qualifications.
ALL PLANTS AFFECTED
Frank M. McLaury, Detroit's
OCD director, said he interpreted
this 10 mean that all plants would
blackout, except such factories as
metal treaters, which will not ex-
tinguish the furnaces that take
hours or days to reheat. Such
plants must douse or curtain their
regular illumination, however.
Also exempted are airway bea-
cons, vital post office lights, ex-
|cavation lights. railroad signals,
navigation signals and lights vital
to safety and transportation.
This Will be our first oppor-
tunity to see how well the plants
have arranged for backing out,
and we'd like them all TO par
ticipate this time" McLaury
said. Factories showing illum-
nation without good reason will
be ticketed by air raid wardens."
CONFERENCE PLANNED
McLaury planned to confer with
army and navy ordnance officials
here 10 ask their cooperation in
seeing that the blaekout is OBJ

TRADE
WINDS"
Nv SCHNEIDER

NEW YORK Union officials
know that corporate executives
are of the belief that if they don't
pay higher wages to workers, the
government will get the money in
taxes. This attitude accounts for
the new wage-boost demands in
the steel and automobile industries.
Not much dispute is expected.
The treasury department, how
ever, has the largest stake in the
wage-raise program. One large
corporation pays more than the
combined tax payments of many
thousands of wage-earners. Higher
wages mean higher operating costs
which spells out less corporate
taxes to Secretary Morgenthau.
POLITICS Come what may,
tradition holds sway-in the great
game of politics. Private advices
are that congress Intentionally re-
jected wage control in the price
control act because this is an cleo
ton year; and, for that same rea-
son there will not be any anti
strike legislation despite ballyhoo
from Washington.
SMALLER PROFITS Because
wars always come to an end, post
war goodwill is the long-term OBJ
jective of the automobile indus
try. Not one manufacturer cares
to chance the name of his organ
ization being linked, in later years,
with the vile term of "war-prof-
iteer." For that reason no effort
will be made to net large profits
on armament orders. Consequent
ly, ii is safe to assume that auto
company profits during the period
Of war will run under, and well
under, those reported for 1e41.
RAIL PRIORITIES-while it is
true that railroads in 1941 han
died without car shortage or con-
gestion the largest volume of
freight traffic on record, all had
best heed the warning of Defense
Transportation Director Joseph B.
Eastman that rail traffic priori-
ties are likely late this year as

pands.
Mr.. Eastman, who knows the
railroad industry as well as any
leader of that industry. bases his
warning on these factors: There
will be continual increasing
