SURVEY OF NATIONS
TEACHER SHORTAGE
NOW in PROGRESS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) The
u. S. Office of Education is now COM
pleting survey to measure the ex
tent and nature of the teacher short
age which many sections of the
United States have reported, John W.
Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of
Education, announces.
A QUESTIONABLE now being distrib-
uted to 5000 school superintendents
and 1900 college presidents in the
country attempts to discover the
number of positions vacant on Oct.
Is in the teaching of critical subjects
from agriculture to medicine.
Higher salaries have attracted teach
ers to seek work in war industries,
and the armed services have drawn
many into the ranks.
Aside from determining the actual
number of teacher positions open in
the country, the survey seeks to un-
cover the reasons for vacancies, meth
DDS being used to meet the shortages,
and possible reasons for schools in
abilities to fill positions.
Tabulation of the data received will
take place as soon as the question
naires are returned. Findings will be
published as they are analyzed.

WOll Praises Women
In ORGANIZED Labor

New York Women must be
accorded an Integral and articulate
part" in organized labor, declared
Matthew Woll, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, in an
address at the Women's International
Exposition in Madison Square Gar
den.

900 men and women of the trade
uion movement, he could attest to the
marvellous adaptability of the women
of labor"

movement" he declared, estimating
that almost 3,5OO,0OO women belong to
labor unions today.
The AFL has one of the outstanding
exhibits at the exposition, depicting
the contributions of organized labor
to the American way Of life and the
vital role war workers, especially
women workers, are playing in the
war production program.

END ship CONTRACT
WITH MAINE FIRM,
in EXCESS PROFITS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). =
Charging that the South Portland
Maine, Shipbuilding Corporation is
making "exhorbitant" profits on con-
tracts for Liberty ships, two congress
sional committees have urged that the
Maritime Commission cancel or re-
negotiate the contracts.
The recommendations were made
by the special war investigation COM
mittee headed by Senator Harry Tru-
man of Missouri, and special House
subcommittee appointed to study con-
ditions at the Maine yard as well as
the commissions order revoking the
Liberty ship contract of Andrew j.
Higgins, New Orleans boat builder.
Truman's committee said nation
wide survey indicated the South Port
land yard chad the highest number of
man-hours per ship and the greatest
dollar cost per ship
Commission Action Urged
1t said the Maritime Commission
SHOULD consider whether it should not
cancel the contract and enter into a
new contract with more competent
management"
The committee also called for the
dismissal of Frank Wall as South
Portland representative of the Mari
time Commission for entering into
contract with Kenneth Burr, local
trucker, which assertedly enabled the
latter to enjoy an "unconscionable
profit"
The House committee said the yard
which holds plus-fxed-fee con-
tracts for sc Liberty ships, is ''receiv-
ing a fee for the trouble of incorpo-
rating company, choosing a name
for that company, holding an occa-
sional directors meeting and dele
eating the performance of it's contract
duties" Thus far, it reported, the
firm has been paid fees amounting to
s5,040,OOO.

LUMBER WORKERS
FRONT Line"
FIGHTERS, OFFICIALS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) The
United States Army will use more
lumber than steel in the coming year,
Undersecretary of War Robert p
Patterson said as he told the men in
the Pacific Northwest's logging camps
and sawmills that they "can render
no greater service to the cause of
victory than to give US the wood we
must have-and give it to us quickly"
Lumber is seeing action with
Americas Army of four million at
every corner of the globe" Patterson
declared.
Lumber comes close to the heart
of our whole war program. There
are 1,2O0 different items of military
and naval equipment that can use
lumber Every one of these items has
its part in fighting and winning this
war. Each day we find new import
ant ways to use wood in our weapons. :"
One hundred and twenty-five mil
lion tons of wood will be used by the
war program in the next II months,
Patterson said This is 25 percent
greater than the tonnage of steel to
be used.
He said the Army regards the men
in the woods and mills as front line
fighters in this war"
"How much they produce will have
great deal to do with determining
how quickly we will win or whether
we will win at ALL" he added.

ARMY, NAVY HEADS
ASK WAR WORKERS
TO STOP ENLISTING

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) The
Army and Navy want aircraft ship
yard and other war production work
ers to remain on the job rather than
enlist.
Emphasizing the vital Importance
of production, Secretary Stimson of
the War Department and Secretary
Knox of the Navy Department, said in
joint appeal:
During the past months a
large number of men employed in
aircraft industries, shipyards and
other war plants have resigned
their position in order to enlist in
the Army or Navy. The patrio-
tic spirit which has promoted
such action is in accordance with
the high traditions established in
the previous wars which our
country has fought.
However, in the pres sent
worldwide struggle the task of
maintaining an increasing flow of
the tools with which we fight is
as important as that of effectively
using those tools in battle.
"YOu men who are engaged in
this vital work should remember
that your government, and your
fellow citizens, are clear in their
convictions that you are doing
your full duty in staying at your
present posts unless and until you
are called or until your services
can be spared"

More Than Enough Received

at is clear to your committee that
to continue in force the existing con-
tracts with South Portland Ship
would be to throw away millions of
dollars needlessly," he report stated.
South Portland Ship already has re-
ceived more than enough"
1t also urged immediate utilization
of the unfinished Higgins New
Orleans shipyards to prevent "un-
necessary loss to the Government"
Higgins has announced he has con-
tracted with the armed forces to build
large cargo planes, but there has been
no official combinations.

TO HIS COMMANDING
OFFICER
(From the New York Times)

Forgive him, sir, if he is slow to
learn;
You see, all wars seemed useless in
his eyes.
But would have you know none must
despise
His weakened will! 1t takes much
time to turn
Away the heart when there is dream
and joy
In merely living on this peaceful hill,
Where men are kind, and taught to
speak no i'll.
And so ! ask, be patient with my boy!
For he has vigor that is sleeping
there,
And this, | think, is how | let him go.
Had | not heard of strength that
brave men wear?
| looked into his eyes and found it so,
A shining thing that bade me not to
weep,
A sort of comfort, sir, that mothers
keep!

Butler Farmers Favor
Central Standard Time

Butler county farmers, members
of the Grange, are on record as favor
ing return to central standard time
in Ohio. Under state laws, adopted
number of years ago, the state has
been on eastern standard time, but the
advent of the war, advanced all clocks
another hour, so the farmers feel we
are now two hours ahead of the time
they had 20 years ago.
There is no objection, however, to
the war measure, but the farmers be-
lieve it would be better for them to
return to Central Standard time since
daylight does not come at this season
until near a. m.

Gov.-elect Edward Martin, Repub-
lican, in the recent election He said
he would appeal to the courts against

trary to the will of the central body.
A week before the Nov. 3 election

board and the delegates had endorsed
the Democratic candidate for Cover

SAYS
About Fuses

Tampering with your fuses comes in
the same category as hugging the
wrong curves when you are motoring
with a cute redhead. You may get
away with it for a while, but eventually
your equipment will land in the junk
pile or hospital.
Fuses of the correct size are required
by the National Electric Code mot to
satisfy the whims of some swivel chair
executive) as a well founded and nee
essary protection for your electric wir-
ing and certain equipment. Fuses alone
win not protect motors from turnout.
Motor protection will be covered in
future articles. Replacement of a
blown fuse with anything but a fuse
of proper size, creates a hazard.
A fuse blown by slip of screw
driver while doing a "hot" Job or by
a complete electrical failure of motor
or other equipment Is usually replaced
by fuse of the proper size If you
are lucky enough to have one around.
Fuses that blow when motors are
started annoy many operators so they
remedy the situation by "slugging'
to cover either "haywire" or work

fuse links, or other metal objects in
place Of the proper fuse. Montana
Kilowatt has seen some high class
smuggling" jobs along with the prolific
haywire jobs, but they all defeat the
valuable function of a fuse.
Perhaps the most puzzling to you,
are the fuses that blow for no reason
at all. Dirty or oxidized contacts be-
tween the fuses and the clips which
hold them are the usual cause. Bad
contacts cause heat, and heat blows
the fuse.
Now is the time to systematically
check the fuses in all of your switches
and fuse boxes. Throw out the fancy
assortment of "slugs," clean all con-
facts with fine sandpaper, install fuses
Of proper size, and have plenty Of ex-
ira fuses on hand for emergencies.
A copy of the National Electric Code
fusing tables and the mini
mum requirements for your electrical
installation, may be obtained without
charge upon request to Montana Kilo-
watt. If you are having fuse troubles,
,end your problem in to Montana
