q AVIATION TRAINING
CENTERS In MONTANA

MISSOOULA-Four civil aeronau
tics administration war training serv-
ice centers in Montana are currently
training approximately LOO army
navy and service pilots, the civil aero
nautics administration in Washington,
D. c., has announced.
Included in the list of 400 training
centers throughout the United tSates
are the Johnson flying service at Mis-
soula, the Morrison flying service at
Helena, the ellis flying service at Bill
lings, and the Lynch flying service at
Bozeman.
Since the beginning of the program
under CAA in 1889, three classes of
men have been trained in Missoula,

sity co-ordinator, said. From 1889 to
July, 1912, civilians were trained
From July until the arrival of the
army air force college training de-

THE NURSE
AT HOME

Editors Note: This is the first
in series of ten articles on Home
Nursing prepared by the Public In
formation Service of the American
Red Cross. For complete details
about the standard course, inquire
of your local Red Cross chapter)
Never before has the adage about
an ounce of prevention been truer
than now Many sections of the coun-
try are almost devoid of medical serv-
ice, and the shortage will grow as
the armed forces increase. The Amer
lean Red Cross is now conducting a
recruitment program to enlist $4,000
graduate nurses for the Army and
Navy Nurse Corps this year. This
means further drain on the supply
of nurses. Wives and mothers of the
country can and must learn to carry
much of the home load.
To help these wives and mothers
meet their problems, the Red Cross
is accelerating it's program in home
nursing. Courses are being offered
by thousands of chapters.
The Red Cross Home Nursing course
originated in 1908 with Miss Mabel
Boardman, then, as now, secretary of
the American National Red Cross.
The first textbook, from which the
present one stemmed, was written by
Miss Jane Delano, the first director
of Red Cross Nursing, in collabora-
ton with the chief of the Army
Nurses Corps and came into use just
as the first World War brought its
great demand for knowledge in pre-
vention of disease and home care of
the sick.
The articles we are presenting can
not be considered a substitute for
class work, in which both discussion
and actual practice in bedside care
AXE place. Nor can they more than
lint at the good to be gained from
he textbook itself. We hope, how
ever, that they will be of interest and
lelp to our readers.
(The second in the series entitled,
Your Medicine Cabinet" will appear
lext week.

RESOLUTIONS

! make it impossible for workers tt
be able to shop and to enjoy rec
| reation on their off hours.
i. Bad safety and sanitary conditions
which cost a reported 100000 man
| days of work lost due to accidents
and deaths in industry in 1941.
j. The fatigue factor which is becom-
ing increasingly more important as
the length of the work week con-
tinues.
k. Shortages of material and boarding
of labor which results in faulty al
locations and much idleness on the
job and which are the cause of mil
lions of lost man hours.
Now Therefore Be 1t Resolved that:
1.-The Executive Board of the Mon
tana State Industrial Union Council
commends those of our local unions
which already have embarked on cam
paigns to cut down absenteeism thru
education and discipline.
2. Declare itself in favor of elimi-
mating all of the so-called hold back
penalties ordered last October by the
War Labor Board. We commend the
action of the Nonferrous Metals Com
mission in eliminating all of such hold
back penalties.
g. Approved the position of the CLIO
which has outlined a basic cure for
ie., overall central plan
ming of war production as provided
in the framework of the Tolan-Pepper-
Kilgore bill.
4. Condemns such legislation as the
Johnson work or fight" bill which
ignores the basic causes of absentee
ism and puts the major share of the
blame on the workers.
5. Recommends a revival of activi-
ties on the part of all local unions
TO establish labor-management COM
nittees in order to tackle the prob
ems of absenteeism and that such
committee discuss, and with view
oward their elimination, such causes

Poll Tax Control of
Congressional
Committees

! Because of the small electorates
which they can easily control, the
same poll takers come back to con
gress year after year and decade after
decade.
Because of the undemocratic prin
ciple of seniority whereby the con
gressmen with the longest tenure be
come committee chairmen, the poll
takers exercise vast control over the
committees of the house and the sen.
ate. AS of March, 1943, for example,
of the II major committees of the
house, poll tax members held the fol
lowing powerful positions as chairman
or ranking member:
Chairman or Ranking Member:
ACCOUNTS
Patton of Texas.
AGRICULTURE
Fulmer of South Carolina, chairman.
APPROPRIATIONS
Woodrum of Virginia.
BANKING AND CURRENCY
Steagall of Alabama, chairman
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Johnson,L L. A., of Texas.
JUDICIARY
Summers of Texas, chairman
LABOR
Ramspeck of Georgia
MERCHANT MARINE
Bland of Virginia, chairman; Ram
sneck of Georpia
MILITARY AFFAIRS
Thomson of Texas.
NAVAL AFFAIRS
Vinson of Georgia, chairman; Drew
ry of Virginia.
RULES
Cali poll takers on powerful rules
committee are listed. Cox of Georgia,
Smith of Virginia, Dies of Texas, Col
mer of Mississippi
Thus IA of the "a most important
positions in the house of
representatives are held by poll tax
ers. The Representatives of poll
tax states, therefore, have major
voice in the control of legislation af-
fecting all of the 48 states.

RESOLUTION ON ABSENTEEISM
Whereas: l. Production of vital wal
materials must be increased steadily
2. One of the war time problems af
fecting peak production is absentee
ism
3. Absenteeism has become the
newest anti-labor bogeyman brought
forward by the open-shoppers and
other reactionaries to bolster their
arguments for legislation to hamstring
labor unions.
4. War workers are being accused
by the labor haters of inexcusably alb
senting themselves from their jobs
and causing a consequent decline in
production.
5. All analyses by competent indus
trial and labor economists have shown
that he majority of workers absences
are caused by reasons beyond their
control, among these reasons being:
a. The unwillingness of most employ
ers to help establish joint labor
management committees in their
plants and their failure to cooper
ate with these committees when
established to assure their proper
functioning in the interest of the
war effort.
b. A general lack of overall central
planning for war mobilization.
C. A lack of available housing facili-
ties in many communities which
separates families and add home
sickness to the many reasons why
workers absent themselves from
their jobs.
d. Transportation and tire rationing
difficulties which make it difficult
for workers to be on the job day
after day.
e. Illness which causes an estimated
half-billion man-days per year to be
lost in American industry and which
accounts for almost 500 of the total
amount of absenteeism in industry |
f. Lack of child care facilities, which |
causes many mothers to miss work. |
6. Deficient diets and improper foods |
which contribute to illness, and ac-
cidents, and therefore absenteeism |
h. Failure of industrial communities |
to organize their social and COM
mercial schedules and therefore

Corn EarwOrm

Sweet corn very often has worm in
earworm. In addition to the corn ear
worm will be found several small brown
beetles, which are scavenger beetles
that feed on the excretia of the corn
earworm. The tips of the ears of the
corn should be cut off with shears
about to days after pollination
Pollination usually takes place about
the time the silks begin to turn brown.
In cutting off the tips, this not only
removes the corn earworm, but also the
scavenger beetle

mature fowl; not more than 400 chicks
preferably not more than 300-in one

in laying quarters; use suitable litter
for brooding chicks and for laying hens;
protect young and old stock against var
mints; Gull out low producers through

Buy only disease-free cnicks or ma.
