 KuibyShev, July 21--(UP)-One of the most moving sights in this war is the sturdy peasant women of the Volga valley, white kerchiefs about their heads and in gaily col- lored blouses and skirts, carrying big packing cases on their backs from river docks and steamship decks.
 They are only c segment of the huge mass of Soviet women who are making sacrifices to repel the German invader.
 These Russian women undoubt- edly will go down in history among history heroineS. They are setting the pace in every conceivable non- combatant activity.
 I found 1t difficult to comprehend, even when I saw 1t myself, that women are to be found stoking lo- comotives, managing and operating the Volgas innumerable oil refuel- ing barges, serving as ships of1lcers, deck hands, and stevedores.
 They use a novel harness to aid them in lifting and carrying the huge packing cases and I've seen them, in crew numbering some male deckhands, labor for six hours with only brief rest intervals. In no case did the women permit the men to outwork them.
 It is a common sight in the volga valley to see women driving horse and camel carts laden with grain. These they load and unload them selves.
 Russian men are earning a new respect for their women and all along my trip up and down the Volga I never heard 8 man speak grumbling word to the women off, cers, sailors and deckhands with whom they came in contact.
 They carry out without complain ing 8 vast anonymous enterprise wh ich they consider neither un- usual nor exceptional. The women stevedores are constantly joking, and take pride in their physical prowess.
 Seeing these women laborers, there appears no doubt that should

HIGH STANDARDS FOR ICE CREAM
Frozen Desserts Sold in Connecticut of High
 Quality

Enforcement of state standards by laboratory examinations has so improved the quality of frozen des- sertS that the public is now assured pure, clean and wholesome products, Omer o. Sieverding, chief chemist, Bureau of Laboratories, said today in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. During 1941, S67 chemical and 532 bacterial ex- arIinations were made by the bur- eau on samples collected from wholesalers and retailers by repre- sentatives of the state dairy and food commissioner and local health officers.
 According to Connecticut law, frozen desserts are classified as ice cream, frozen custard and french ice cream, ice milk, milk sherbert. Definite specifications have been set up for each of these products; ice cream to contain at least 10 per cent by weight of milk fat, IS per cent total milk solids, 1.6 pounds total food solids per gallon and not over 0.5 per cent by weight of stabi- nzer. All frozen desserts must com- ply with 8 standard covering bac- terial quality.
 To determine if these products meet the standard, complex exami- nations involving the use of valu- able laboratory equipment are nec- essary, MT. Sieverding brought out. A few years ago some of the cheap CT competitive ice creams on the market were found to contain large amounts of air and were low in food solids Now the legal require ments for total food solids per gall lon are seldom violated.

As the state Inilitias in the Rev. lution followed the guerrilla war fare tactics used at Concord and Lexington, so are the modernized versions-taught at the first Corps Area Tactical School at Concord, Mass. - being copied throughout the country. Waterbury has several trained graduates of the school.
 A constant stream of inquiries are coming to the school from State Guard officers as far away as Texas. Several states have asked permis- sion to send students. The schools limited facilities necessitate accept ing not over five from other areas for each eight-day course.

HORSE RAGING
 SHOW GOES ON
English Troops Undis. turbed By Nearness of
 Nazi HOrdes

The recent war communicate that horse racing was to be continued in Alexandria despite the nearness of Marshall Erwin Rommel's mechan- ized hordes as an evidence of the public confidence in the ability of the United Nations armed forces has been given a further impetus, according to Major Hugo Wiberg, who received word that the first Salvation Army band has been commenced in Alexandria during hoStilities.
 The information which came via the London headquarters of the Salvation Army, tells of Salvation ist members of the United Nations on duty in Egypt when on leave gather at the home of one of the Christian citizens for their rehears- als.
 Impromptu concerts are given by the band but the real speciality of the organization is the playing for the community songs. The old Sal- vation Army method of 8 cornet and drum have certainly proved their worth in Egypt. The officer in charge of the Salvation Army Red Shield work in Alexandria tells of reaching Alexandria one day, rent ing 8 thirty room house for Sol- dier's Club the next day and on the third starting up the band.
 Quoting the spirit of the men, the message continued, "They love to sing the songs of home and no song

Guerrilla Warfare
 Tactics Modernized
First Corps Area School at Concord Model for Nation;
 Methods Effective in War Sectors Today

it, they hope to get information fol the benefit of their whole regiment Judge Molcolm Hatfield, of St Joseph, Mich, expects to make val. uable use of his guerrilla warfare training in Michigan.
 The success of the school has hinged on extremely practical ant realistic instruction. The courses have been based on what the Com. mandos have learned from expert ence, from the guerrillas still fight ing on many uncharted fronts, from the Indian warfare tactics of the American plains.
 As one distinguished observer put 1t: "The school is teaching along the right lines and with the right subject matter" This came from Lieutenant Colonel Guildford Dud. ley, commander of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada who commanded British Home Guards and Regulars on the South coast of England for 19 months and he knows the practical side oi this training.
 The school was organized 1r May at the request of Major Gen. eral Sherman Miles, Commanding General of the First Corps Area by Lieutenant Colonel John K Howard, State Guard Officer O. the First Corps Area, after he ane H. Wendell Endicott of Dedhan had studied the British Home Guard system.
 During the intervening months two noted authorities on guerrilla tactics, Lieutenant H. A. Pollock former director of the British Home Guard School, and Bert "Yank' Levy, fighter in many wars, have taught classes.
 Guerrilla tactics are coming in- creasingly into use in every area overrun by the enemy. As in Spain in the mountains of the Balkans, on the vast plains of Russia, in the villages and hills of China, Burma Javo, the Philippines, in every city farm and industry in Occupied Europe, little groups of patriotic men anud women are grimly fight ing on - preparing the way foi freedom by doing, quietly ano effectively, much damage to the enemy, making his stay in theii homeland as uncofrotable as 1t car be made. Constantly they are slashing, blasting, sniping avoid. ing pitched battles, but smashing relentlessly, consistently, at every point of enemy weakness.
 All these tactics of guerrilla war fare are being taught at Concord These include delaying the enemy harassing him. making him pay a continuous toll for invasion, ther sabotaging him in every way pos. sible.
 The students are drilled in con- batting fifth column antics, in put ting omtor cars out of action, 1rl scouting and patroling, in the use of cover and concealment, in all the modern - and some not so new ways of killing a man, in may work in everything necessary to harass, delay, destroy and kill.
 The graduates are ready then to go back to their own units, to start miniature schools, to join those si- lent, determined men willing and ready to sacrifice themselves to harass, delay, undermine invasion forces.

Smash The 7th Column, :" Appalling Casualty List Credited to Nations Outstanding Public Enemy - Careless

 Campaign of Elimination.
Campaign of Elimination.

Boston, Mass, July p - A cam paign to smash the 7th column carelessness-w which robs America of more than 460,000,000 man-hours of industrial production, kills more than 102,500 Americans and injures 5000, O,000 more annually in accidents, has been launched here with the &C., claim of Americas leading newspa- per editors.
 Editors of outstanding metropoli- tan papers endorsed the plan of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company to label carelessness in industry, in homes, and on the highway the "7th Column" which kills and injures more people than all the spies and saboteurs of the Axis 5th Column and causes more confusion than all the rumors spread by the 9th Col umn," according to Bruce Black, president of the company.
 Help Country, Self
 "Thousands of American families want to help the war effort, but do not know what they can do," wired Gardner Cowles, Jr, of the Des Moines Register and Tribune. "This 7th Column campaign will help them realize one way in which they can help both their country and themselves"
 Worth Bacon, managing editor of the Winston-Salem, N. C., Journal and Sentinel wired MT. Black: Your slogan 7th Column is ex- cellent name. Eliminate it and you will have destroyed demon on the home front. More power to you in your campaign"
 From the New York Times, Editor Charles Merz wired: "At time like this your drive to enlist the peoples aid in preventing accidents caused by carelessness is of even more i'm portance than it would be in time of peace. Here is a war effort in which we can all play useful part"
 Campaigns designed to reduce accidents due to carelessness, such as that to be inaugurated by your company are most commendable," said Walter P. Jones, Editor of the McClatchy Newspapers of Califor- mia. Especially so in these times when manpower in war industries is so essential and necessary to Amer ica's war effort"
 These and similar expressions of approval from outstanding metro- politan editors were received at the Liberty Mutual home office here to- day in reply to a telegram from Mir. Black announcing the Smash the 7th Column Campaign"
 No Commercial Promotion
 The plan announced by MT. Black begins with nation wide newspa- per and magazine advertising pro- gram that will reach into every home in the country. The Liberty Mutual Advertisement sells no in- surance, but warns of the 7th Col umn and offers an illustrated, four color booklet outlining safety rules that will bring down the dreadful toll Of lost lives, time. and produc- tion.
 Simple safety rules for the home, tho plant and the highway are | graphically Illustrated. Gummed | warning stickers to be used at dan ger points around the home also will be furnished.

CITIES CHECKING
 ON KEY POSITIONS

No move has been made as yet by the U. S. Civil Service Commis- sion to determine the number of the city's key positions which have been vacated through induction or en- listment in the armed forces. Sev- eral selecated cities have been asked to submit lists, as result of a re- quest by the United States Confer ence of Mayors that the commission protect essential governmental ac- tivities from loss of personnel.
 Local firemen and policemen. and about a dozen other city employees are now serving in the armed forces. The fire board is expected to seek deferment for firemen on the ground that they are essential for protec- ton of Waterbury's defense indus tries. The two firemen which 1t lost became servicemen through en- listment.

have been prepared for distribution to industrial plants.
 America is engaged in the most bitter, brutal struggle in the his- tory of the world" said MT. Black is letter to Liberty Mutual en- ployes throughout the country. He sought their cooperation in the campaign to Smash the 7th Col llmn" because:
 If man wrecks his car, we can pay the money loss, but we can't put a new car in his garage.
 If his house burns down, we can spare him crippling loss. But we can't rebuild his home until the war Is over.
 Production Line
 "If a man is injured on the job, we can pay his hospital and doctor bills. We can make good his lost in come. But we can't fill his place on Americas production line"
 Dorothy s. Backer, publisher the New York City Post = Your attack on the "7th Column" will help great ly to dramatize our need to stop, look and listen in order to save lives; and deserves nation wide sup port.
 Arthur T. Robb, editor of the Editor and Publisher, New York City - AS one who has followed safety efforts for many years and aided them whenever possible, I take pleasure in endorsing your campaign against Carelessness as The 7th Column. Clear brains and steady hands are among the most precious assets America can have for victory.
 M. s. Sherman. editor, the Hart ford, Conn, Courant - You are quite right in designating carelessness as our "7th Column; in fact, it might be moved farther to the front. h. stance. the Normandie and the frightful toll of avoidable deaths and injuries on our highways to say nothing of the baneful effects of industrial accidents. Anything that can be done to bring the conse- quences of carelessness hobe to the public is deserving of the highest commendation, but how to do this is question that baffles ingenuity. We can perhaps do no better than to rely on the cumulative results of education, remembering that all enduring reform is a matter of slow and steady growth.
 Be Alert!
 Edwin D. Canham. managing edi- tor, the Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass. = The Christian Sci ence Monitor enthusiastically sup ports all efforts for industrial and highway safety. We know that proper vigilance will mean a vic. tory on the home front comparable to a large military victory overseas and the possibility of winning this triumph Hes in the hands Of the whole people. Mental and physical carelessness certainly constitute an column of enemy activity within our midst. We can master this attack from within by correct Ing our own thinking and renewing our alertness.

ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE GAS

Henry F. Baum. of Ashland, Ohio. would save gasoline and tires by placing a small sign beneath traffic lights giving the miles per hour for motorists to drive to reach the next light on green. For example: The average light might suggest 90 miles per hour; as traiiic became nor con- gestcd. speed would lower to IS or 20 miles per hour: and as traiilc thinned out, the speed might be ln- creased to 3b uiiles per hour.
