# IFS Headaches

Doctors Are Accused
of Playing Ball With
Rest-Seekins Girls
BY JACK CRELLIN
Detroit Times Labor Editor


Absenteeism among women war
workers. due to illness, is increas-
ing at an alarming rate and con-
stitutes real threat to produc-
ton, John l.. Lovett. general
manager of the Michigan Manu-
facturers Association. said today.
And Lovett. whose job 1t is to
see that the wheels of production
keep turning, is somewhat skepti-
cal about the headaches" OF the
ladies.
With some of the men it's hang
overs, he said, but in the case Of
many of the girls its hanging out

Checks show" he stated,
''that usually about 2 per cent
of the men stay of work on
Monday due TO- those Monday

DOING HOUSEWORKf
"But with the women it's DIFF
ferent. We find that they are In
clined to be absent on Tuesday,
Wednesday or Thursday, and In
much larger numbers than the
men.
II suspect they are doing the
housework."
Lovett has appealed his case to
the doctors.
| He recently addressed a letter
to James A. Bechtel. executive
secretary of the Wayne County
Medical Society, in which he
stated:
"Absenteeism, especially among
women, Is tremendously high In
some plants.
BLAMES PHYSICIANS
"And it is reported that some
physicians are cooperating with
the employees In promoting alb
senteeism rather than keeping
the employees on production.
''One plant reports as high ~
4 20 per cent, every day, Of its
women employees being absent
!, on excuses furnished by physi-
clans who say that the employees
need rest or are suffering from
some temporary ailment. A
little superficial checking has
revealed that in some cases nj
least the physicians dia gnosls
was not justified.

sicianS may want To COOPERATE

TAX REFORMS

When we wrote about "tax re-
forms" in the good-old-days it was
taken for granted that the news
would explain how the taxpaying
masses would share in programs
that reduced taxes. But, in the Book
of Genesis it is recorded: Joseph
made it a law over the land of
Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh
should have the fifth part" of the
proceeds.
The programs suggested by those
who now direct the affairs of Gov
eminent indicate that Congress is
engaged in making laws that may
be similar to those in the land of
Egypt. Taxes are being levied for
wars, and for a distribution of the
collections among nations besides
our own, throughout the World.
Tax reform at the present time
is hot-potato in the Senate. A
$100-slash in indiviual allowance
for dependents is considered. Anoth-
er ''tax reform" would slash the
existing $1,5O0 exemption for mar
ried persons to $1,000, and cut
exemptions for single persons from
$3.50 to $500.
Sherman said mouthful about
war. So did Cicero, who said, in IS
B. c.: 'The aim of war is to be
able to live unhurt in peace"

so Frozen Food Plants
Being Built Every Month

There are something like 1000 fro
zen food locker plants in America
and they are being built at the rate
of more than so a month.
A frozen food locker plant does
much more than keep food in cold
storage, although it does that too. In
it meat, fruit and vegetables are
processed, chilled and then put away
in individual compartments usually
rented by individual families at so
much month, just as the use of
safe deposit box would be rented
from a bank.
The smallest of such plants have
300 lockers, each with about six Gu
bic feet of space and the larger COM
munity ice boxes have many times
that number of compartments. Thou
sands of American families are find
ing it economical to rent lockers in
which they can keep supplies of their
favorite foods-usually bought at the
best market price-on tap for future
use.
Such family might, for example,
buy a whole lamb. At the frozen
locker plant, butchers would convert
the carcass into Commercial cuts"
-loins, legs, steaks and chops, after
the meat had been cooled to 80 de-
grees.
Then these pieces Of meat, ready
for family use, are wrapped in mois-
ture-proof paper and frozen quickly
at a temperature ranging between
20 and 30 degrees below zero. Then
it is tucked away in the fannily's
locker with all its freshness and food
value captured until such time as
the owners are ready to serve the
meat on their table.

Lydia of Honolulu Was
A Liluokalani Lyricist

j Lydia Kamekeha Liluokalapi
, (1838-1917), last reigning queen of
J the Hawaiian islands, was born in
Honolulu. In 1891, upon the death
of her brother, King Kalakaua, who
had appointed her regent during his
last visit to the United States, she
assembled to the throne. In that year
her husband, John o. Dominis, a ma
tive of Boston who became governor
of Aohu, died and the queen, follow
ing the advice of counselors, endeav-
ored to substitute reactionary con-
stitution for the one in effect. This
substitute constitution, which dis
eliminated against the white resi-
dents, aroused great opposition and
in 1893 she was deposed and pro-
visional government, which later be-
came a republic, was set up. An
unsuccessful attempt to regain the
throne was made in 1894.
The former queen visited this
country to plead her cause and in
1908 made a claim against the Unit
ed States government for $3.50, 900.
The court decided against her, but
later she was granted pension by
the Hawaiian legislature. For sew
eral years she lived in California,
later visiting Hawaii.
She wrote many beautiful songs Of
which Aloha De Farewell to Thee)
probably is the best known.

FARMERS HAVE COME THRU
WITH WAR TIME PRODUCTION

Farmers have come through with
flying colors on their wartime pro-
daction goals, P. c. Turner, presi-
ent of the Interstate Farmers Coun-
Gil, said recently.
Indications now point to total
U. S. food production this year of
about 10 per cent more than for
1941 and rs pc rcent more than for
the five year average from 1884
49," said Mr.. Turner, pointing out
that this record production was
being turned in with only about rs
per cent of the man power available
last year.
1.-THE government, said Mr..
Turner, asked for SO, 100000 hogs,
an increase of IA per cent over last
year. Farmers are coming through
with los, 100000. The government
asked for 1876, 000,0OO,0 pounds
of milk, an increase of eight per
cent over 1941. Farmers are coming
through with 1870, O00,O00,0O0 lbs.
The government asked for 50,000,-
100000 eggs and up to July farmers
had turned in 236, 600,000,000 or
two-thirds of the years task.
"This increase was accomplished
by farmers working from II to IA
hours a day, with the help of farm
women and children, and through
the exchange of work and equipment
and otherwise cooperating with
their neighbors."
