their own f1rst-hand knowledge
and experience, to safeguard the
well-being, health and strength OF
their successors in arms.
During the last twelve months,
the committee has supplied some
eighteen hundred men at a cost
Of some fourteen hundred dollars.
The rapidly increasing number
Of departures will require at least

No appeal can take higher place
with us. These are our very own
men and boys. Our prompt and
generous response will encourage
and inspire them as they go forth
to protect our hearths and homes.
So far, this work has been car
ried on by this committee, repre-
senting various veterans organi-
zations and certain community
clubs. The time now has come
for all patriotic, community and
service clubs to join in this COM
munity duty.
Accordingly, your direct and
specific aid and cooperation are
requested. Your organization may
help:
1. BY sending a direct money
contribution to Lewis s. Reed,

NEGATIVE SIDE
WINS DECISION
CYO Speakers Debate on
Abolition Of NYA, CCC
Agencies

Spirited arguments for and
against the abolition Of the NXA
and the CCC were heard last even
ing as st. Margaret's and ST. Lucy's
g. Y. o. teams participated in one
of the most interesting debates Of
the current series under the aus
pices OF the knights Of Columbus.
st. Margaret's, speakers contend
ed that both federal agencies were
organized to furnish employment
during the economic depression, but
in view Of the present war elner-
gellcy both should be abolished as
unnecessary expense to the tax
payers of the United States. They
have fulfilled their detectives, they
contended, and should no longer be
financed for the benefit Of high
salaried political favorites. 1t was
charged that the government was
training men for factories whose
executives were making millions of
dollars in profits. They should bear
the burden of expense.
The negative side, St. Lucy's,
argued that both agencies were pro-
viding assistance to the country in
the present war emergency, were
actually engaged in wartime pro-
duction and in addition to sustain
ing the morale of the youth of the
nation were preparing them for
bigger responsibilities as producers,
as citizens. as soldiers. Products
made by local NYA workers were
exhibited to support the young
speakers contention that federal
funds were being spent here for
greatly needed accessories.
The negative side was given the
decision of the judges, who included
Miss Emelyn Barrett, librarian of
Bronson Library; DR.. Francis p.
Barnes, commissioner of the board
of education, and Prosecuting At
torney Frederick w. Palomba. VIII
liam #. harrington offlciated as
moderator. st. Lucy's speakers were: :
Leo Conrad, Charles Rinaldi, Anna
Gallo and Alex Mole. st. Margaret's
orators were Laura McHale, Dor
othy McVerry, Lillian Hamilton and
Agnes Bollard.
The next debate on Thursday
evening, April 30th, will be staged
by teams representing st. Michael's
and SITS. Peter and Paul'S parishes.

Nearly 40 women from Washing
ton and vicinity are we'll on their
way toward proficiency in eXacting
tasks in the machine shop OF the
David w. Taylor Model Basin at
Carderock, Nd, the Navy revealed
yesterday.
Although most of them have had
less than months training. tneS
are doing jobs normally filled by
regular apprentices with more than
A years training. They are thus
releasing other ordnance workers
for the armed services.
In obtaining the women. the Navy
turned first to the wives and rela-
tives of its male employees. So far
the women are learning tool room
procedure, milling machine opera
tions and instrument production,
under the tutelage Of James r. Nc
Rae and his staff Of skilled ma
chinists. They are learning model
making in the model room. which
looks like a playland paradise. Su-
pervising Modelmaker Dana L. Fer
nald is in charge Of the work there.
Expressing pride in his new women
workers, Mr.. McRae explained that
since the basin deals almost exclu-
sively with experimental material.
no two operations are exactly alike.
and almost every piece produced is
different from the others.
Mr.. McRae also emphasized the

patriotism of the women, most Of
whom do their housework in the
evenings after their days at the
basin. One women signed papers
last week to release her husband to
join the Army, leaving her with
three small children to care for in
addition to her work at Carderock

picture has not been neglected by
the Navy. however. and a day nurs-
cry has been established in a nearby
church. 1t is operated by the wife
of Taylor basin executive, herself
a graduate nurse. who picked this
method of releasing women for war
work-that they may release men
for combat.
Work in the model room is divided
into two phases-the construction
of wooden drafting room models for
architects and the building of
teacher attack models" Of ships
of the various nations to be sent
to training schools, shore stations
and the fleet. Study of these leads
to faster and easier Identification OF
enemy and friendly ships at sea.
Women have taken to this work

Mr.. McRae said he did not see any
reason why they could not progress

over most Of the machine work. un-
