Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-With dealings
restricted because of trade unwill-
ingness to take market action under
the present Government price sta
bilization program, grain values held
steady today at levels we'll below
partly in all cases.
A few orders attributed to mills,
apparently rejecting routine flour
business, appeared in the wheat pit,
lifting quotations minor fractions at
times. Other grains held to mar
row range and the corn pit con-
tinued to absorb hedging sales in
connection with the new crop move
ment, which is having more of an
effect on the spot market than on
futures prices.
Demand for cash corn was not as
good as 1t has been recently All
grain for sale yesterday could not be
sold although buyers were In the
market for good grades of old grim,
supplies of which were limited.
Higher moisture new corn, how
ever, were quoted as much as 3
cents lower in some cases, although
distillers were reported to have taken
substantial quantities of this grain
recently. Scarcity of storage space
at industrial plants and elevators is
limiting demand, traders said.
Government figures showing the
substantial reduction in ever-normal
granary corn stocks in recent months
attracted attention. Granary stocks
have been cut to about 165, 900, 900
bushels, about half the volume on
April l and 1865 100000 bushels less
than the amount on hand early in
1941 when increased demand de-
veloped for livestock feed and in
dustrial requirements associated with
the war. Present granary stocks in
clude about $4,000 900 bushels owned
by the Government, with the re-
mainder under loans from crops of
! the last five seasons.

needs or be adapted to fill them.
 "on-the-job" training was stressed particularly by Corporal Armstrong "JuSt because the oil burner service man or the gas meter repairman has never seen an airplane motor doesn't mean he can't be turned into a f1rst-rate airplane mechanic in short time. He'll be taught on the job, right on the hangar line. His knowledge of tools and motors will be adapted by skilled teachers to the tools and motors he'll work with in the air forces.
 "Of course, if he's an electrician, radio mechanic, cable splicer, tele- graph or radio operator, linema1, or engineer, we'll put him right into the Signal Corps. It's completely train ed men like that we need most. In the Air Forces and Ordnance De- partment, too, we want men who al- ready know specific job. Specialists are likely to win quick promotions. It is possible to earn as high as $138 a month in addition to other allow ances such as SIS for rations, $28 or more for men with dependents, and an additional 50 per cent of base pay for Air Forces men on flying pay.
 Don't forget" Corporal Arm strong emphasized, "the Army is al- lowing men who work with hand or machine tools to enlist directly for their branch of service. That means they can go right into the Air Fore es, the Signal Corps, or the Ord nance Department. It's great op- portunity for men to keep doing the work they have always done, and to fight for their country with the tools they are working with"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-21

Behind the quiet front of Main Street, U. s. A., behind the shop doors of jewellers, locksmiths, clock makers, electricians, camera repair men, mechanics, and opticians, lies a striking power that may go far to win this war. The skills of thou sands of men who work with hand and machine tools are needed dur ing the coming crucial months by the Army Air Forces, the Signal Corps and the Ordnance Depart ment.
 "If they work with tools, they can help keep the Flying Fortresses over Germany and Japan" Corporal Armstrong, local Army recruiter stated today. '"Tools can keep the guns. firing. They can get the mes- sage through-vital Signal Corps messages the accuracy of which may win or lose battles.
 Here in Waterbury, know many men working with tools who have often asked me what they person ally can do to win the war. They want to know the most they can do, and in most cases this means they want to put their civilian skills and training to work for the Army I'd like to tell these men that their skills-no matter how removed they may seem from planes and guns and tanks-can do an enormous job in the Army. Just for example oil burner servicemen and gas meter repairmen are wanted by the air forces. The signal corps needs metermen and switchmen. The ordnance department wants cam era repairmen and opticians. Many other skills which may not seem tc be of use to the Army can fill vita

UNITED EFFORT
 GREATEST NEED

United effort, national and in- ternational unity, constitute the need of the hour and the hope of the future" Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregation al church, stated in his sermon on Together We Stand" yesterday morning. Speaking of the impor- tance of the word Together" he quoted from the Scriptures: For we are laborers together with God"
 we need that primary faith that we are not alone, that the spirit of Christ works in and through us, and that we are laborers and build CTS together with God" he stated. Broad statesmanship is necessary to secure for all people the freedom and security due them, he said, in holding that an Anglo-American al- liance alone can not create satis- factory life.
