Why One Boy Left the Farm

Why One Boy Left the Farm
I left by dad, him farm and
pillow
Because my calf became his
I left my dad, twas wrong of
course
Because my colt became his
I left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his
sheep.
I dropped my hoe and stuck my
fork
Because my pig became his
pork.
The garden stuff I made to
grow
Was his to sell, mine to hoe.
Why the Other One Didn't
With my dad and me it's half'n
half.
The COW I own was once his
calf.
No town for me I will not bolt,
Because my horse was once his
colt.
I'm going to stick right where
I am
Because my sheep was once his
lamb.
I'll stay with dad-he gets my
vote

Vacations Are
OkGy, Says Nelson

In response to numerous inquire!
from industry and from labor, Chair
man Donald M. Nelson of the War
Production Board set forth the off
cial War Production Board policy to
vacations in wartime. 1t follows:
Experience here and abroad is in
dicating that the worker, even when
stimulated by the urgency Of the Al
lied war situation, cannot work long
hours and maintain peak output in
definitely. We know that he benefits
IN peacetime from an annual vacation.
After the extensive overtime and the
added emotional strain of the war eff
fort, we can be sure some rest period
this year is going to prove doubly
effective in the restoration of his
energy and determination.
Il am depending upon American in
dustry to embrace the vacation oppor-
tunity, and solve its accompanying
problem, In a way that will not let
our current output suffer and yet will
fortify our working force for the still
greater accomplishments the presi-
dents program demands. Under no
can the desire or need
for vacations be permitted to excuse
any shutdown of any department of
any war production plant"
