100000 English Workers
Receive Wage Increases

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - The
American Federation of Labor monthly
survey says that in November, 1941,
the latest report, 100000 English
workers received wage increases, to-
falling about $280,OOO in weekly pay.
All wage changes in England are de-
termined by collective bargaining,
"the only democratic method of wage
adjustment" the survey comments.

Captains of the Clouds" roaring
epic of the skies produced in tech
nicolor, opened its engagement at
Warmers State theater this after
noon with James Cagney in the
leading role.
Made on location in Canada
Captains of the Clouds" has the
superb scenic background of one of
the most picturesque locales in the
Western Hemisphere. Played against
this magnificent backdrop, is the
action-packed and inspiring story of
Canada's heroes of the air in arms
against the Axis. 1t is the story of
some men who came out of the bush
country the lakes and forests of
Northern Canada, to fly against the
LuftWaffe for the Royal Canadian
Air Force.
Captains of the Clouds" has Gag
ney cast as sky riding, hi-jacking
bush pilot, q lone eagle who steals
business right out from under the
noses of the other pilots planes.
Cagney is the most individualistic
of all the pilots and finds himself
constantly IN hot water because of
his disregard of rules, and his in
sistence that a good pilot flys "by
the seat of his pants"
In disgrace he nevertheless
achieves at last his ambition to
fight his country's enemies In the
sky to the last regret of those enc
mics. interviewer with the action
drama is an unusual love story in
volving Cagney, Dennis Morgan and
lovely Brenda Marshall.
In addition to the above men
toned stars the cast boasts
such brilliant performers as Alan
Hale, George Tobias, Reginald Gar
diner and Reginald Denny, as we'll
as many officers of the Royal Can
adian Air Force with whose cooper
alton the picture was filmed.
Captains Of the Clouds" Is the
first technicolor picture for both
Cagney and Miss Marshall; the first
full-length film ever made in the
Dominion of Canada; the first pic
ture to show the celebrated Royal
Canadian Air Force in action; the
first showing American-built planes
in the war; the first big flying pic
ture since the United States entered
the war; and should be the first
picture on your must" list.
And for your further enjoyment
he management presents "All Amer
lean COED" with Frances Langford
and Johnny Downs IN featured roles.

STRAND

It's been a long time since critics
felt they could pack its special store
of superlatives and start showering
them over movie, but this they
have done after seeing Birth of the
Blues" the song studded, laugh
packed musical which opened a
four-day engagement at Warmers
Strand theater this afternoon.
With a cast topped by Bing Cros-
by, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy,
Carolyn Lee, Jack Teagarden and
Rochester, Birth of the Blues" is
all that you have been hearing
about 1t. The music which consists
of Is favorites, many of them be-
loved blues numbers, and one brand
new novelty song, is just superb.
The picture goes back to the days
when pioneering white folks first
began playing the jazz that Negroes
invented. The story takes us to the
New Orleans Of the early 1900's, pre-
senting us Bing Crosby as a blues
happy clarinetist who wants to or
ganize the hottest band in the
Southland. The tale then goes on
to relate Bing's hilarious and musi-
cal efforts after he gets his band to
get the white folks to cotton-up to
his Dixie-land jazz rhythms.
In the cavalcade of music, such
redhot numbers are heard and sung
as "St. Louis Blues" "St. James In
Urinary Blues" Memphis Blues"
and such old favorites as "By the
Light of the Silvery Moon," "Wait
Till the Sun Shines Nellie" and OF
course Birth of the Blues"
All In all Birth Of the Blues" Is
definitely q milestone In picture
making, grand, glorious triumph
In screen entertainment.
Robert Preston and Ellen Drew
are featured in the co-feature Of
the program 1.-THE Night Of January
16th."

No Loafers Listed

Eventually every man registered for
selective service will get a QUESTIONABLE
asking him what he can do. AS every
one knows the battle Of production must
be won before the Battles OF Bataan, OF
The Atlantic, OF Australia can be marked
down as victories. Therefore, the govern
ment must know what we can do. This
four-page QUESTIONABLE carries many
queries and list Of occupations from air
plane fabric worker to wire drawer. Then
there are such relatively unknown JOBS
as armorer, babbitter, core maker, dy-
manic balancer, and tube bender. It takes
all these and many more kinds OF workers
to win the war, but nowhere In the list
will you find loafer, orator, drugstore cow
boy or curbStone colonel. But there Is one
square reading "do not have a job and
am not looking for work"
This data will fill the files Of the United
States Employment Service and the Ma
tional Roster OF Scientific and Specialized
Personnel so that we know just where
we stand in regard to skilled workers and
professional people. The government now
has no power to shift workers TO Jobs
where they might be more useful although
some members Of Congress are beginning
to mention the word "compulsion'.
Naturally, most Of the people and most
Of Congress shy away from any sort OF
compulsory work service and II persua-
sion and patriotism can do the Job, there
will be no commands for a Paducah
plumber to lease home and hearth ana
pull up stakes for San Diego
But II the war goes against US, If we
begin losing the battle Of production,
If serious shortages develop In some trades
and skills, If there are too many brick
layers in Omaha and not enough in Nor
folk, then something stronger than
words may be used. The QUESTIONABLE
will be complete file on every male be-
tween 10 and 65 when completed and will
serve as an invaluable roster Of just who
can do what, how long they have been
doing 1t and where they can be found.
Compilation OF the list and Its intended
use once more define the difference be-
tween our eide and our way OF life and the
whip-cracking policies Of our foes. Here
we ask workers what they can do, and
ask them to take a job where their labor
will be OF greatest benefit in the war
effort. In the axis countries, they are
told what to do and when to do 1t. To
refuse is another way TO commit suicide.
Realizing this, our workers and profess
sional men cheerfully will do as right by
the QUESTIONABLE and its possibilities as
those fighting our bloodier battles are
doing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-27
Draft Everyone

After World War practically everyone
went around muttering that next time 1t
would be different, we wouldn't have
any confusion, no one would make a
million dollars out OF the war, everyone
would be drafted ct cetera, ct cetera.
Now 1t is revealed that Cleveland
contractor charged 5000 for airplane
starters he estimated would cost $272,
The government, meaning you taxpayers,
paid enough that woman secretary, OF
that firm got $4,000 last year. A new
employee got bonus Of $1,000 after six
weeks. Every employe got bonus And
the taxpayers footed the bill.
The government right now should say
to all Of us:
You are not going TO make million
dollars.
You are not going to get exorbitant
wages.
You are not going to profiteer on food
stuffs.
You are not going to play codeball with
civilian defense,
You are not going to hoard-Aanyt thing.
You are not going to rent-gouge.
You are not going to exhaust your
energies undermining labor.
You are not going to carp and whine,
unless you first do your share.
You are not going to dodge your full
n sasure of this fight.
Because YOU ARE GOING TO WIN
THIS WAR.
II that be dictatorship, make the most
Of it-for the duration.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-27
DECIDING Codeball

Ben Williamson OF the Cleveland Press
read that among the 35 co-ordinators OF
the Office OF Civilian Defense was a Dr..
William E. Code, co-ordinator Of codeball.
Ben set out to answer the question: what
the devil is codeball? Cleveland sporting
goods firms and recreation directors
didn't know. Sports guides didn't index
It. Finally, the files OF the city recrea-
ton department yielded the answer.
1t Is a game like handball, but the feet
must be used instead OF the hands In the
outdoor version one attempts to kick the
hall into a series of cone-shaped bowls or
holes. When are we going to quit kicking
around this life and death matter OF
civilian defense?

We're Proud to Accept

A country and its civilization may be
judged by It's prisons What sort Of Of
lenses send men to prison, how they are
treated there, and with what objective,
are a pretty good measure of clviliza-
ton.
Hitler has seen fit to sheer at the fact
that men In American prisons are making
goods for the American Army and Navy.
But we're proud of 1t, and proud OF the
fact that they have increased their pro-
duction of rubber mats brushes, brooms,
beds, steel shelving. and dozen other
items. Men sent to American prisons
remain men, yes, and they remain
Americans. Our purpose In sending them
there is not only to protect society, but
to give them a chance to rebuild their
lives on firmer foundation. We do not
send them for political heresy to rot IN
concentration camps. We are proud OF
the fact that they are being allowed to
learn skills, to contribute to common
effort. We are proud to accept that help
