This is a story about an Owens-Corning Fiber
glas corporation empoye who bought a radio last
January As a result of this purchase, hobby of
long standing was brought to the fore, and great
things have been accomplished since. The follow
ing story was published in a recent issue of Fiber
glas Yarns official employe publication OF the
Newark plant:
Lowell Peltier, Service Department, is our hero
in this story. Last January he purchased a radio.
The tone was beautiful but the case IN which the
works were housed definitely did not meet with
either Mrs. Peltiers or his approval
Hating to part with the brilliant tone, but still
not satisfied with the outside appearance, they had
to reach a decision Like flash it came to Low

his own taste. The other would be sent back, then
he would have the tone as we'll as the outward APP

Perfect Men For
Submarine Duty

When the recruits are given
their final examination at the
Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton, the physicians are particu-
larly alert to discover men who
are suitable or not suitable for
submarine duty.
Only men who are physically
perfect are put in submarines.
The reason is clear enough. The
crew lives in narrow quarters.
A sick man could not be replac-
ed except by returning to port.
No medical officer is aboard.
Each man has specific duties and
his services are required for the
operation of the ship.
Even so trivial an ailment as
chronic bad breath will bar a
man.
For instance, a doctor looked
at the tonsils of a short lean lad
of II.
''No good for submarine" said
the doctor.
'That's just where l wanted
to CO." said the boy, sadly.

trying, anyhow.
SO the decision was reached. He going to
make his cabinet. The next problem con-
fronting the Pelters was to decide what kind of a
housing would satisfy them both.
After looking at various pictures of radios,
they agreed on the model they wanted. 1t was to
be Of modern design, in natural American birch,
sometime referred to as bleached birch.
So he started to work in his basement. The
only time he had to put on this was in his spare
hours, such after work and on Saturdays and
Sundays. He had no power tools, only plane, a
saw bit, screwdriver, and knife.
This did not deter him, however. He would
rush home from work and retire to his basement.
His wife very little of him those first few
daYs.

Making a Success of a Hobby. y.

In less than three weeks his cabinet was COM
pleted, and was prominent part of their living
room. They were both satisfied. Now they had
what they wanted.
There was only one fault with the whole
scheme. The radio Just did not match the rest OF
the furniture. Another decision must be
reached. Mrs Peltier did not take long to
vince Lowell it necessary to build more blonde
furniture SO he started in again.
This time it was two tier table, which
completed in few nights. similar one follow
ed, so one could be placed at each end of the dav-
enport 1t seemed it took less time to build each
article.
He was now involved with his hobby seriously.
He began to make plans for other pieces of furni-
ture to build
Since this idea occurred to him he has built
two book cases, corner table, cocktail table, 3
lamp bases, bed, dresser, and a night stand all
pictured here. His future plans call for dining
room suite, desk, ottoman, and another bedroom

suite. His home will then be completely equipped
with his own handmade furniture.
A short time ago, he decided he could save
time and improve his work by adding some power
tools. He now has table saw, lathe, and power
sander.
The only pieces in which these tools used
is the table and cocktail table All the rest
were completed with only his saw, knife, etc.
The majority of his patterns have been created
by himself, the rest are copied from famous lines.
He does not work from blue prints but draws
rough sketch of what he want to accomplish
Yes, great things have been accomplished since
Lowell bought that radio last January. This hob
by has proved mighty beneficial to him. To say
his house is beautifully furnished would be putting
it mildly. 1t must be gratifying for him to look
at his radio, end tables bedroom suite, book cases,

A story of women standing in long

children unable to get hospital at
tention and Of shortages of ply
sicians in nearly every section of the
country was told to a Senate Labor
Subcommittee today.
DR.. Martha Elliott, associate chief
of the Labor Departments Chill
dren's Division, declared the situa-
ton had become so acute that it
was imperative to halt the exodus
of pediatricians and obstetricians
from civilian to military service.
At Bremerton, Wash. she testi-
fed. women reporting to ply
sicians' Offices for prenatal care
are required to wait as long as
four and five hours and upon being
seen are asked to report back at
three month intervals"
In Lewiston, Me, DR.. Elliott said
the only pediatrician has entered
the military service, resulting in
the discontinuance of the clinic for
children with heart disease"
"The only orthopedic surgeon in
Vermont has left for the armed
forces. which means that all Grip
pied children in Vermont will have
to be sent out of the State for treat
ment."
She recommended a Federal
agency with overall authority to
redistrihute the services of ply

supervision, caused no surprise at

The negotiations of 1t. Gen
Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander

Darlan were regarded as a mill
tary expedient and not as a per-
manent diplomatic settlement.

half times greater than this year.
Items involved include cheese. but
ter, dried and evaporated milk.
Supplies for Children.
Mr.. Wickard was said to believe
that civilian consumption of cheese
might have to be reduced as much
as 40 per cent from this years
level.
.Rationing of fluid milk in areas
OF short supplies would be designed
to assure ample supplies for chill
dren, expectant mothers and inva-
lids. The forthcoming coffee ration
ing program is expected by the Sec
retary to result in greater demand
for milk as drink.
Mr.. Wickard reported yesterday
that 1943 overall. food for-war pro-
duction goals would be announced
lin a few days" and disclosed that
preliminary arrangements had been
made for discussing the program
with the Nations farmers in the
near future.
He wrote Chairman Fulmer of
the House Agriculture Committee
that the department had made ar
rangements for four regional meet
ings, starting November 80. which
would be followed by State and
county conferences to explain de-
tails OF the program.
New Demands for Food.
I'VE know" the Secretary wrote,
how important it is for farmers to
have as much advance notice as pos
sible of the kinds and amounts of
farm products that will be needed
next year to provide for our military
forces, our civilian population and
our lease-lend operations"
But, he added, the plans must be
based on the constantly changing
situation here and abroad and said,
For example, the opening of the
second front in Africa will increase
the demands on us for food, as it is
of paramount Importance to our
war effort that populations of re-
occupied countries be fed
His letter followed one from Mr..
Fulmer, saying that MANY farmers
are now folding up because they
are unable to get any information
as to just what they may expect
and are unable to make any con-
tracts with share croppers and wage
earners because they do not know
anything about the l943 program"

Post for DurIun Smart Move,
Former French Officer Saws

Of all the armed forces in France,
and the soldiers of North Africa are
accustomed to his orders.
Vichy, in 1t. Harlepp's opinion,
was never despised by the majority
of Frenchmen as most Americans
thought. Instead, he said, the
French, influenced by Vichy radio
and newspapers, were made to be-
ieve that Vichy was the sest-ther
only-hope of survival.
The designation of Admiral Dar-
Ian as North African leader was also
wise. he said, in that the natives
would not have understood the i'm
position of British and American
rule in Africa. They are loyal to
the French, who after years of ex-
perience know how to administer
the colonies, he added.
1t. Harlepp served in a North
African regiment in 1899, and has
visited the Algiers, Casablanca,
Oran and Martinique as recently as
