A conceited gangster had been
slapped into Jail for a term Of
20 years. The gangster would
spend his time standing behind
the bars OF his cell and gazing
into the corridor. Whenever a
guard or visitor passed by, the
inmate would never look the
party in the eye. He would in
variably turn his head TO one
side.
'What'sa idea Of turnin' yopy
head when anybody passes? %
sneered the guard. "Are You
finally ashamed Of all the crimes
you've done"
The concefted gangStcr kept
his face turned.

CIoims Diminish

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 4.-Fewer
claims for workmen's compensa.
tions were received by the Ohio
Industrial Commission during Oc-
tober than in the corresponding
month of 1941, marking the first
decline in this comparative respect
since April, 1889, Chairman Will
T. Blake reported today.
Another feature of the October
report of the Industrial Commits
sion was the disclosure that
the balance in the workmen's COM
pensation fund totalled $100,493,-
516.52, highest in its history, at
the close of business October 81.
OF the total number of claims
received last month, 24,838 were
for payment of medical expenses
only, involving injuries causing
non-compensable work loss of
seven or less days.
Also included in the total were
81 death claims, fifteen more than
were received by the Commission
in September, Chairman Blake's
report revealed.

Is this the sort of thing fighting for and for
which sending young into the ends of the

of the anpo tax bill voted send boys into the fight
that the four freedoms might live and that others might

Selected Editorial
Taken from the Progressive, Madison, Wis.
Back Of A New Record

There still too many big business executives who
regard with horror the idea of workers councils parcpat-
ing in production planning They cling to this attitude des
pe the fact Frank Hanghen has pointed in recent
articles in The Progressive that the plan has had oustand
ing in England
Last week Henry j. Kaiser the mad-man of West Coast
shipbuding, smashed another record In exactly 11112
hours after laying the keel for another Liberty ship the
Kaiser yards sent the Robert E. Peary down the way,
shaerng the previous Kaiser record of 10 days by 128
hours From now Kaisers shpbulding records,
measured by months then weeks then by days will
be measured by hours.
This new record the Kaiser company announced, was
made possible by shortcuts and peedup devices deve
oped through suggestions of the who were doing the
work the job.
Perhaps few more records like this may make some
hardcrusted ycoons wonder whether Kaiser hasn't got
something in his strict closed shop policy prepaid health
insurance and his general nsistence that workers are
something more than element to be figured with other
costs and depreciation.

Praises Labor
By wilson

American labor KNOWS that
winning this war is the only sure
way to preserve our social gains, F"
Under Secretary of War Robert E.
Patterson declared in a radio
broadcast on the fourth anniversary
of the enactment of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
Labor, Mr.. Patterson said, has
pitched in magnificently in its
mansize job of applying our sol
diers and sailors with the weapons
to defeat our enemies.
American labor is now engaged
in proving to the world that free
labor can out-produce slave labor
every time, and make no mistake
about it, that proof will be one of
the outstanding achievements of
this war and will be recorded later
in history as one of the causes of
the dictators' downfall"

HOlU To Make
Your Tires Last

/. Drive only when absolutely
necessary.
Stop all pleasure driving. Ride
less; walk more. Use the bus or
street car. Remember, this is war.
Ask yourself when you get into
your car: 'Is this trip really nee
essary?"
2. Keep under 80 miles per hour.
Keep under 30 if you can. The
normal life of a tire is double
when the average speed is cut
from 40 to 20. When someone
passes you on the highway at more
than 35 miles per hour, blow your
horn at him--3 shorts and one long
blast is the V for victory signal.
3. Keep your tires properly in
flated. Check your tire pressure
weekly. One pound of under in
flation, if continued for the life
Of the tire, will cut 800 miles from
its mileage. Start, stop, and turn
slowly. Don't scrape against the
curb and avoid bad roads if pos
sible.
4. Have your tires inspected reg
ularly. Remove bits of glass,
stones, tacks, etc, from the tread.
Repair injuries at once. Keep
wheels aligned. Keep brakes equal
lied and check them periodically.
5. Share your car with others.
Cooperate with your shop trans
portation committee in sharing
the ride with your fellow-workman.
Form a car-sharing club, with a
different member driving each
week. Team up with your neigh
bors to make shopping trips.

Wishes Us Well

Dear Sir:
As you embark upon the venture
of launching new publication, |
extend to you the sincere wishes of
the Council of Churches that your
enterprise may be fruitful in rem
dering an important service to To-
ledo.
1t was great American, Daniel
Webster, who said:
Labor is one of the great ele-
ments of society-the great SUBJ
stantial interest on which we all
stand. Not feudal service, or predial
toll, or the irksome drudgery by
one race of mankind subjected, on
account of their color, to aonther;
but thinking and acting for itself,
earning its own wages, accumulat-
ing those wages into capital, edu-
eating childhood, maintaining wor-
ship, claiming the right of the cleo
tive franchise, and helping to up
hold the great fabric of the State
that is American labor"
These principles can continue to
make American labor unique in the
society of nations, races, and
creeds, and / am convinced that
your present undertaking will con-
tribute greatly toward this end.
Sincerely yours,
Austin R. Siebens, 4
Executive Secretary,
The Toledo Council of Churches.

The Workers
Health
BY DIR. A. p. HANCUFF

AT the request of the JOUR-
NAILS managing editor, Oliver J.
Pecord, the Academy of Medicine
of Toledo and Lucas County has
outlined series of articles deal
ing with the workers health and
allied subjects.
According to present plans, these
articles will appear on the average
of one each month. 1t was hoped
at first that one might appear
each week, but due to the large
number of doctors who have Joined
the armed forces and the subse-
quent reduction of available physi-
clans to prepare the articles, it was
deemed best to adhere to the
monty plan.
We have chosen a number of
varied but related subjects which
should be of vital interest to the
worker. 1t is not our intention to
present obscure medical conditions
or to dwell or diagnosis and treat
ment of disease. Rather do we
hope to offer such matters as occu-
pational health hazards, rules per
tanning to rest and diet, the role
of focal infection in disease and
other similar subjects.
The object of the presentation
is to assist the workers in guard
ing his health and safety, not only
for the sake of himself and his
family but also that the war effort
may be better served by virtue of
his uninterrupted employment. To
comply with the governments re-
quest for full production, any
which increase and sup
port available civilian manpower
are worthy of more than passing
notice.
1t is in this spirit that the
Academy of Medicine has agreed |
to supply the articles under dis
cussion and it is our hope as we'll
as that of your own organization
that they will fill the need for
which they are intended.
The first subject to appear in
this space in the December 25th
issue will be, proper Rest AS A
Vital War Weapon" You have
doubtless read and heard much to
.he effect that work, work and
more work is essential to the win
ling of the war. That statement
needs no establishment or proof.
And while it is taken for granted
hat effort to be effective must be
balanced by rest, it is surprising
low many of us, doctors in
'ludedD, underestimate the amount
md type of rest necessary to make
,ur tasks compatible with good
health.
Don't fail to read this and the
ollowing articles. You will find
hem full of common sense and
suggestions which, if
leeded, will materially help you,
our family and your Uncle Sam.
Never lose sight Of the fact that
uring times such as these it is
'atriotic to stay well.

HITLER TAKES OVER

n LEN Il n N ED Wv EN-
Repercussions Of the North Afri-
can campaign have come rapidly in
the usual Hitlerian manner.
In his best vein of deceit, Hitler
first took over Unoccupied France,
giving his solemn promise that the
French fleet at Toulon would not
be disturbed by his military.
Hitler's public career, from the
time he first sought power by and
through his Nazi party down to
the present has been a litany of
lies and broken promises. No one
was unduly surprised when, using
his time-worn formula Of claiming
to beat his enemies to the punch,
he slipped into Toulon and at
tempted, in vain, to take over the
French fleet lying there.
NO CHANGE
Had Hitler succeeded in taking
over the French fleet, he would be
in much better position than be-
fore. On the other hand, neither
he nor the United Nations have
gained or lost more than they had
previous to the Toulon fleets sui
eide.
Matters remain approximately
as they were before the French
fleet is out of the picture, and no
body, neither Hitler nor the United
Nations will need worry or plot
about something which is non-ex-
istent.
With the French fleet practically
entirely out of the picture, it ap-
pears that the war will go on as
before and be determined in its
final phases by factors now in the
making.
END OF AXIS
Without attempting to qualify
as an armchair strategist, it sug-
gets itself that the Axis will meet
its final defeat in one of several
ways.
Italy seems to be about at the
end of her string, and with Musso-
lini about completely discredited,
any sustained mass bombing of
Italy should see that unhappy
country making a separate peace.
What the effect of an Italian
surrender would have upon Ger
many is problematic, yet, even in
the face of strictest Nazi censor
ship, there must be a grapevine in
Germany which acquaints the peo-
pie with some of the things that
are taking place.
On the other side of the picture,
the increased pressure which Rus
sia is applying to the German
army on the eastern front, coupled |
with a constant invasion threat
from the north Atlantic to the un-
ierpart of the continent must con-
stitute menace and worry to Hit
er.
Should it so happen that major
military disaster overtake Hitler
coupled with the possible defeat or
of Italy, it could very
we'll happen that he would have
lis power wrested from him and
he Germans seek peace without
undergoing a major military cam
,aign on their own land.
As matters now stand, and in
pite of all warnings to look for
ward to long war, the handwrit-
ng seems to be appearing on Hit
er's wall
