has happened to all you supposed
to be Junior Saxons of Colum-
bus? Cards were sent to each and
every one of you about our meet
ing last Thursday. Out of pos
sible 50, there were only nine

any wonder why ours truly

] do? I promise that this will be
the last time anything is said
about poor cooperation and at
tendance amongst all you Jrs.
Why not come to the meetings
and give your local members, as
we'll as the others, the impression
that you are a good Junior Sax
on? Also come down and hear
for yourself how the, club is do
ing and how much we have gain
ed within the last year.
Notice to all Columbus

please contact Mary Burkley at
Fa. 1888. She will have all the

NEWS
BY Marie Raidel

Youngstown, O., Dec. IL -
Last week end was very busy
one for two of our club officers,
Eleanor Rauch and Sophie Theis
they bought and wrapped Xmas
gifts and sent them to the boys
in service. We hope these gifts
will make them as happy as the
two girls who wrapped them. In
behalf of the club | wish to thank
them for their splendid work.
Last week we had the pleasure
of seeing End Lieut.. Sue Boehm
at home again.
We have also received news
about promotions OF some of our
boys. Carl Nemenz and Rob.
Bauman have been promoted to
Corporal. George Kascher of the
Marines has been made Sergeant
John Fai> has become a End
Lieut.. in the Army. Lots of luck
to all our boys we certainly can
be proud of them.
Pvt. Bill Doerling sends his
best regards to all his friends. He
has just recuperated from an
operation. The club wishes him
the best of luck and health.
New Years Eve Dance
This year again the Juniors
and Mems Singing Club are hold
ing the annual New Years Eve
dance at the club. I'm sure our
boys would not want the ones at
home to sit around New Years
Eve and not enjoy themselves.
Besides some of the boys will be
home then and we would like to
show them good time. So come
on young and old plan to spend
New Years Eve at the Sachsen-
helm. To all the Juniors from
out of town how about going
easy on that gas so that you can
help us celebrate New Years Eve
1t would be swell to see some OF
those very familiar faces from
out of town. How about it?
A good orchestra is being
booked for that evening. A delic-
ious meal will be served at mid
night by the ladies of the Ladies
Singing Club.
Meeting Notes
Members are asked to come
to the club on Thursday nights,
We have some suggestions to
bring up to help better the club.
Officers of the club are request
ed to attend. Final arrangements
for the New Years Eve Dance
must be made also. Members are
also asked to pay their dues.

THERE is strong feeling that
l. centralized control of man
power will not solve the production
problem. Men and women are not
like the parts of the machines they
make, easily interchangeable. Abil-
ity varies and it takes time to train
new workers, and old workers to
new jobs.
Women are becoming increasingly
a part OF production. They are
quicker to see flaws and have an
almost infinite patience and tire
lessness. They deserve great credit
for their magnificent response to the
country's need OF them.

1t is constantly being brought

a result the ODT announced that

the fact that he does not anticipate

will start with a small staff and ex-

What the general public does not
know regarding Mr.. Lehman is that
he has had considerable experience
