 From there on, the pamphlet gets down to cases. Carpenters, plumb CTS and electricians can teach night training courses. Painters can go in for camouflage. There are jobs for truck, bus and taxi drivers, for miners, gardeners, butchers, bakers and wholesalers; for accountants, stenographers and clerks; for bank CTS. domestic help and barbers; for doctors, lawyers, nurses, preachers, librarians, musicians, architects, press agents, and newspaper men.
 There are chapters on What Men and Women on the Farm Can Do";; the contribution that can be made by boys and girls of school age; and, of course, a tabulation of voluntary civilian defense oppor- tunities.
 While it is strictly a words -of- one e-syllable pamphlet, it has an appendix that suggests scores of books and material for further guid- ance. There isn't a book or bro- chure in the whole list that can't be obtained free and the subjects cover the alphabet from Agriculture to War Savings Bonds.
 OCD Director James M. Landis sums up the situation thusly: "Ev- cry man, women and child in Am erica has weapons for beating the Axis. You don't even need spare time to get into this war. Our weapons are all around us-in our homes and offices, schools and clubs"

 Landis has disclosed the Red Cross has rejected baseball's offer to share in series receipts and as a result the entire sum will go to the United Service Organizations.
 Under the original world series cash splitup announced by Landis on August 27 a major share of re- ceipts would have been divided be- tween the Red Cross and the U. s. O. The Red Cross, however, does not normally participate in benefits where it shares the income with any other group.
 May Get S679,000
 Hence the U. s. o. will receive an estimated $357,544 if the series goes four games, $518,275 if the series goes six games, and $679.006 if it goes the seven-game limit.

 Along the Bering Sea coast the storm consisted of heavy rains and tornadic winds. sa sN
 The winds whipped the surf right up to the edge of Nome, tearing out the rear end of one hotel and ruining part of a restaurant and bakery.
 Easements were flooded.
 Some of the prisoners were re- moved from the city jail.
 For a time the Nome authorities feared, as the storm ragged, that damage would reach the disastrous proportions of the storm of 1913 which ruined most of the town but the wind finally died down after eight hours and the surf gradually receded.

Boston Tea Purty

So long as residents of the District
of Columbia are denied the political
and fiscal equity enjoyed by their
neighbors throughout the Nation, it
is logical that the anniversary of the
Boston Tea Party, December 16, 1773,
should be a subject of special sig
