NEW HIRING POLICIES

An aggressive campaign should
be undertaken TO make hiring
policies conform TO manpower
policy. If legislation is needed,
the subcommittee would urge
control of hiring policy, rather
than coercion OF the individual

ployers in noneSSential indus

and replace men with women,

persons should be relaxed.
The committee concluded:
"a preliminary draft Of this
report was submitted to the
President several weeks ago, for
his consideration and any COM
ment he might care to make.

"The subcommittee Is happy
TO note that some of its recon-

Let us restore to social inter-

without which liberty and even life

let us reflect that, having banished

so long bled and suffered, we have
yet gained little if we countenance
a political intolerance as despotic,
as wicked, and capable of as bitter
and bloody persecutions.-Thom-

Privates Billy Conn and Joe Louis
world apart in speed and skill. The
contrast was case of the rapier
and the falling redwood.
How Conn will make out in his
second visit is something you'll be
hearing about through many weeks
ahead-until Conn and Louis supply
the answer. Whatever happens then,
it will be much more active eve
ming than Simon could offer.
There will be 30 pounds less target
and far greater elusiveness in front
of the Louis barrage. And a far
better fighter.
Early Debating
In the course of the next two or
three months army life and army
food will add several pounds to the
present weight of both men. At
least, it usually does, except in the
case of the overfat.
Conn can stand additional weight
better than Louis can. Joe looked
physically perfect at 207, so far as
hand speed and power go. His mis-
takes were due to an overeagerness
that upset part of his timing. Just
how much speed he will lose at 212
or 215 is guess that belongs to
the future.
Conn could stand an extra five or
six pounds, without speed cost. APP
pearing for a minute or so in the
ring just before last Fridays fight,
Private Bill in his uniform looked to
be thinner than half toothpick.
Conn still believes the best punch
he landed in his first Louis fight
was the blow that cost him the
scrap.
"When I nailed Joe near the end
of the twelfth round" he said again,
"I knew I had hurt him. I knew
he was tired. 1t was the best punch
! had planted in the fight. Right
there is where I made my mistake.
I decided to get tough instead of
getting smart. l honestly thought I
could knock him out"
These are merely some of the
angles that will come up when the
two famous army privates meet
again.
PoUer Us. Speed
Hard punchers always have had
their main trouble tangling up with
speed or better boxing skill.
You may recall the fact that in
their 20 rounds Jack Dempsey could
win only something like two rounds
against Gene Tunney. Jack had IS
rounds in which to draw a bead on
Tunney and Tom Gibbons with only
one knockdown. And Harry Greb
was green mamba against the big
fellows, as long as he had two eyes.
Joe Louis had far more trouble
with Billy Conn than he ever had
against the mammoths and the
mastodons. 1t took him 81 rounds,
or Whereabouts, to leave Bob Pastor
flattened in the pleasant meadows.
There is no intention here to sug-
gest this far in advance that Conn
has an even chance to win. But
there are at least the possibilities of
another big-time thriller, especially
when it is private soldier against
private soldier for the largest re-
lief gate any single contest has yet
offered.
Louis and Conn are sure to be
sports major party for 1942-first,
as spectacle; second, as the more
important contribution to the gen.
eral good of a much tougher and a
much bigger game-the matter of
needed relief.

Contract Awarded
For Hospital
AT ElktOn

Construction work on the new
Union Hospital, to be erected in
Elkton, is expected to begin at once.
The board of managers has award
ed the contract to j. G. Dove of An
napolis, Md. There were two other
bidders. The actual cost for the new
institution will be about $25S,00O.
On account of the scarcity of steel
for building purposes, several items
in the plans will be postponed to
such time when it will be possible
to add them. The new building will
be two stories in height. and con-
tain about rs beds, besides quarters
usually attached to an up-to-date
hospital.
The Federal Work Administration
some time ago made substantial

the new institution, which will be
located on the north section of the

raise funds for the new hospital was
held last summer, resulting in about
$4,000 being raised.

Plant, Chickens
And Turkeys

The large, modernly equipped

farm of G. w. Snyder, near Oak
wood, was totally destroyed by fire
on Friday morning last, together
with hundreds of chicks, a large
number of young turkeys, about
500 laying hens, feed, etc.
Rising Sun flremen received call
about nine o'clock and responded
quickly. Someone also called the OK

through Rising Sun with a piece of
equipment few minutes later.
The firemen prevented the flames
from spreading to other nearby
buildings, but the large chicken
house and its entire contents were
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
fully $4,000.
