TROM the very first days of the oc-
i cupation of Poland the German
authorities have relentlessly pursued
policy aiming to destroy the Polish
brain workers, both as individuals and
as a class. The physical and moral
prosecutions have been carried on with
systematic ruthlessness.
Thousands of people have been ex-
ecuted, thousands sent to prisons and
concentration camps. The closing of
universities, colleges, and high schools
doomed the Polish teachers and sci
entists to starvation. Intellectuals of
the incorporated areas" have been
driven from their homes.
At the same time, the Nazis con-
stantly speak of the inferiority and
uselessness of the Polish intelligentsia.
They repeat that the Poles are an in
ferior race and have no need of in
tellectuals. The blame for Poland's
anti Herman attitude is also placed on
the Polish intelligentsia which, accord
ing to them, has been polluted by the
infiltration of Jewish influences.
The motives of the German policy
are obvious. The Nazis fully realize
that in Poland the intellectuals as a
class are more important and inf1u-
entail than the intellectuals of West
tern European countries which are
economically and socially more ad-
vanced. AS in many countries where
class divisions are less rigid and the
entire social structure is more fluid
the intellectuals in Poland form dis
tinct class, intensely conscious of its
social and political significance, of its
historic and cultural mission.
To destroy the intelligentsia there
fore means to destroy a historically
vital class, class which embodies the
political consciousness of the nation
which supplies it with leadership in
many fields.

After-school and Saturday work in
stores and other business houses is

of part-time employees whose services
are covered by the Social Security Act.
All such workers must have account
numbers.
You may get record showing how
much money is now credited to your
social security account. AS this rec
ord is the basis of future benefits you
or your survivors may receive in years
to come, it is important that you
make sure you have received all the
credits to which you are entitled under
this plan Post cards which are used
to request these wage statements may
be obtained by writing to or calling
S. E. Stratton, manager, social Sc
curity office, in Hamilton, Ohio. The

fense Jobs" which will be furnished
| free upon request.
Married women who are returning
to work in war employment may OBJ
tain new social security cards bearing
their married names, if their original
cards were issued in the maiden names
of such individuals. The new cards
will bear the married name but will
have the same number as the original
card. Applications for cards showing
change of name may be obtained by
writing the Hamilton, Ohio, field office
There are no age limits for coverage
under the old-age and survivors in
surance program, which is part of the
social security plan Workers over 65,
as we'll as young folks under voting
age, must have social security account
numbers and their wages are subject
to old-age insurance taxes, if they are
employed in commerce or industry
Keep this in mind if you take a new
job, and obtain your social security
account card from the Hamilton, Ohio,
field office of the Bureau of Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance. Your local
postmaster will give you an applica-
tion and will tell you where to send it.

In these days of small homes and
apartments, one of the most press
ing problems is that of adequate
storage space The spacious closets
and atticS of yesterday have been
curtailed. Therefore the home
maker must find some substitute
for storage space, for there seem
to be just as many things to put
away as there were in the past.
The contemporary designer has
come to the rescue with the de-
velopment of the blanket chest,
really nothing more or less than a
modernized version of the old hope
or dover chest.
Pictured above are two blanket
chests, one of modern design, the
other in the 18th century English
style. From them 1t can readily be
seen how the old, low hope chest
has beer placed above a drawer and
is so designed that the chest has
the appearance of having three
drawers when closed, while it really

AnSWer-that condition is known
as eff1orescence, and is very COM

due to rain which soaks into the
bricks and dissolves the mineral
salts in the mortar. The solution
comes to the surface, where the
salts remain as white crust when
the water evaporates. In your case
it is probably due to moisture ab-
sorbed by the bricks from the base
ment air. A coat of waterproofine
on the inside surface of the brick
wall should stop it.
