WOMEN NEEDED FOR
WAR. TIME JOBS

Now is the time for many indus
tries to start training programs fol
the thousands of women whC
shortly will be called upon to fl
defense jobs, according to H. L
MacAskie, director of cooperative
training, International Correspond
ence Schools. There are about s.
100000 women between the ages oi
Is and 35 who can be trained fol
inspection, assembling, drafting
and other semi-skilled jobs.
"If we build an armed force oi
100000 men by the end of 1943,
said Mr.. MacAskie, 1--WE shall need
an Industrial army on war work
alone of 23,5O0,OO0 workers, and
that is more than double the aver
age employment in all the manu-
featuring industries"
Quoting the latest figures Of the
National Industrial Conference
Board, Mr.. MacAskie said the Uni
ted States is faced with a labor
deficit Of nearly 100000 workers
by the end of 1913. And by that
time the nations total labor force"
of 55,000,000 will have been stretch
ed 70 the breaking point.
Reliable authorities have said
that the registration and eventual
drafting of women for war work is
scheduled for the immediate future.
Brigadier General Lewis B. Her.
shey, director of Selective Service,
advised that industrial MANAGE
ment should begin now to train
older men, handicapped people and
women. Train them" he said,
''for every sort of work for which
you may find them adaptable"
Women in increasing numbers
are being used in aircraft plants
and various other vital defense in
dustries. Many companies are
training them to fill important jobs
SO that men with greater skill amay
be shifted to higher bracket posi-
tions. This practice should be
more widely adopted, and at once,
the school official said. Il.
1t is not enough to hire women
for the carrying out of simple
tasks, they must be trained to take
the places of some of the men re-
quired for the armed forces.
The best training, according to
defense officials, educators, pro-
gressive labor leaders, and man
agement men, is training on the
job and in the plant.
Apprentice training almost came
to a halt during the depression de-
cade. Less than seven months ago
it was estimated that some 125,000
men apprentices were being train
ed, and that more than 100000
men had received pre-employment
and "refresher" courses. 1t is fair
to estimate that the figures have
more than doubled since that time.
However, it is still too little and
management must plan to train
thousands of women if the job
confronting the nation is to be
completed in time.

A WAR REPORT FROM
WASHINGTON
By J. E. JONES

Early in, February the British Par.
Lament gave Prime Minister Winston
Churchill a vote of confidence by ar
almost unanimous majority; and before
the month was little more than hall
out his leadership was again challeng-
ed. Under the British system the head
of the Government may be thrown on
on a days notice from Parliament.
The President of the United State.
is chosen for four years, and the elec-
tons, and voters control that program
in our Democracy. Since we have en-
tered the war the position of the Pres
ident has been strengthened day by day
and week by week.
When you consider that Roosevelt
and Churchill are avowed comrades
and working in entire agreement it is
little difficult to understand why
England is aiming such bitter criticism
at Churchill, while the United States
follows and generally approves the
leadership of President Roosevelt. If
one is right, they must both be right.
If one is wrong, they must both be
wrong.
In the first World War the political
leaders of the "Democracies" called
themselves "Allies" and they all stuck
together. 1t is a matter of history that
they didn't come out very well in the
end. General Pershing, the Worlds
greatest military leader, Withdrew Am
erican troops from Allied control, and
marched his forces to battle and won
the war.
When the politicians and diplomats
went into conference at Versailles they
made peace treaty that failed to pre-
serve peace. They scuttled the Ameri-
can President. There are millions of
people in the United States living today
who still believe that Woodrow Wilson
was about the only man at the peace
table who honestly supported Demo-
cracy.
Are we back where we left off in
1919? The Nations on the Western
Hemisphere are Omitted Nations" but
they were not united in the First World
War. The "United Nations" headed by
the United States and Britain are ac-
cepted as genuine front for Demo-
cracy.
Churchill has to fight constantly to
maintain his leadership. President
Roosevelt is definitely accepted as Am
erica's political and military leader.
The American people respectfully diff
fer on most of his policies, and he is
being criticized right now because of
a lack of action by the Pacific part of
our alleged "two-ocean-navy," and air
forces. The Philippines, Hawaii and
other regions under the control of the
United States have been undefended.
That is the basic situation which |
have tried to summarize in this cor
respondence to the MILFORD CHRONICLE,
without dragging in heated differences
of opinion, pro and con, that are being
aired on Capitol Hill. 1t is, at least,
comforting to report that practically all
of the s33 members of the two branches
of Congress are confident that the Uni
ted States will win our war in the
Pacific. But none of them seem. to know
how-any more than you and |.

DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS

American oil companies are as
quick-On-the-trigger as they <are
big in size, and all-important. They
meet all the issues and challenges.
Several months ago there was
supposed to be an ''oil shortage" :"
But the oil-men with the coopera-
tion of the railroads filled all the
gasoline tanks in the country so
fast that the people of the country
haven't yet found out what that oil
scare was all about.
The daily reports of sinkings of
tankers by enemy submarines. ex-
plain why there appears to be
shortage of gasoline in sight. To
prevent it the big boys in the
petroleum game have arranged a
pool" of oil from Eastern tankers
and if one company runs short it
will take all the oil needed from a
competitor and charge it, up to
public service.
The petroleum coordinator esti-
mates a voluntary curtailment of
1870 in the consumption of gasoline
along the Atlantic seaboard. The
oil companies appreciate the ges-
ture and consider it IAN ounce of
prevention that is worth a pound
of cure"
In the meanwhile, it is important
news that a new 1,261-mile planta-
tion pipe line has been completed
and put into operation at a cost of
20 million dollars, in the last seven
months, by the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, Standard Oil
Company of Kentucky and the Shell
Oil Company. The long line of
steel crosses five states-Mississip-
pi, Alabama, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and North Carolina. The new
pipe line is the Southland's newest
fuel artery. and opens another
channel into an important defense
area at an opportune moment.
The oil industry has never let
American service tanks run dry.
and it's dollars-to-doughnuts that
they will meet all demands during
the war.
There are plenty of dangers to
worry about without dipping up oil
shortages.

Following the seating of the new

briefly and also Johnny Jester, he
being a member of Brother Halls
staff. It seems each installation a
different member of the staff does
the speech making for the the
others and Milford happened to be
Johnny's turn. He did a good job.
Past Grand Master Clarence Jes-
ter complimented Brother Hall for
his presentation of the work as did
also Brothers William Sipple, Sr.,
Major James Cannon and Wallace
McFaul. The remarks were very
pleasing to Brother Hall, am
sure, and he deserved every one of
them. He has made a good deputy
and we should like to see him go
far in this work. He would make a
very good grand master and Crystal
Fount would be very honored to
have that happen.

Our newly installed Noble Grand
seemed just a wee bit nervous when
he first took over his duties, but
he soon had everything under con-

give him their support and help
him to have a successful term.
