Army: Keep your eyes open and
your mouth shut"
At first probably you'll be inclined
to tremble at the sight of every cor
poral who passes you ON the street.
You might even salute the first class
prlvates. Then, when the top ser
geant neglects to beat you with a
knout and rub GI" salt into the
wounds, you might want to go to the
other extreme. This way madness
lies.
A Bit of Advice.
Let an old wound-licker beg YOU.

dregs of his bitter experience. never
to walk up to a corporal you've
known for three or four days, slap
him heartily on the back and ask
him if that was him coming in drunk
at 3 o'clock this morning.
| When corporals and sergeants are
to be dealt with, always remember
this: Make friendships first and
leave the joking until later. When
it's the top sergeant, it might be best
to leave the joking permanently.
1t can be very easy to start your
military life on the wrong foot by
giving your officers and non~com-
missioned officers the impression that
you're a wise guy, a smart aleck.
Soldiers, like Senators, don't like

fact, the best thing that you can do
is to reason that you are going into
a new job The job is temporary,
but while you have it it's highly i'm
portant.
As. when you go into a new Job
in civil life, you do your damnedest
to impress your employer with your
earnestness, your diligence, your in
terest in your work. Go thou and do
likewise in the Army. AS in your
civilian job, the impression is made
in the first few weeks. You make
that impression. starting from the
very first day, by learning as quickly
as you can, by applying yourself with
energy to each task, no matter how
small or unpleasant it is. You don't
get anywhere by buying soda pop or
beer for your sergeant.

you'll mop floors, and you'll put a
high polish on the windows. You'll
wonder if you've been yanked out of
civil life for this.
All your persecution is deliberate,
calculated, systematic. 1t is collegi-
ate practice of hazing, applied to
the grim and highly important task
Of Transforming a civilian into a
soldier, boy into man. 1t is the
hardening process.
You won't get depressed; you
won't feel sorry for yourself. You'll
just get mad as hell. You'll be
breathing fire before it's over.
Believe me or not. at the end of
that minor ordeal you'll be feeling
good. You'll be full of spirit and
energy. and you will have found
yourself. You'll start to look around,
and youll see things to make you
proud. Youll find that, although
your corporalS and sergeants still toll

You'll look at the men coming in
to go through the same hardening
period and you'll look at them with

INSTALLMENT /,

II First Sergt. Clarence A. Gold
smith, back in the old battery where
I was supposed to have learned the
art Of cooking for the Army, ever
gets his hands on this it will pro-
vide him with amusement through
out long, hard winter.
When he reads that Pvt. Edward
Thomas Marion Lawton Hargrove
Assn 34ll6620, is giving advice to
prospective soldiers, his derisive
below will disturb the training pro-
gram in the next regiment.
My God!' he will roar, Look
who's learning who how to do what,
My God! The blind leading the
blind"
1t was once said. Sergt. Gold
smith, by the eminent vegetarian
George Bernard Shaw that he who
can. does; he who can't, teaches.
This, dear sergeant, is my con-
tribution to the Army and to pos
terity. Please go away and leave
lis young people to our studies.
If / were giving advice to the boys
who have already been called into
the Army and will go away in a
few days I'd sum it all up in this:
Paint the town red for the rest
of your civilian week. Pay no at
tention to the advice that is being
poured into your defenseless ears
for "a hours a day. Form an idea
of what Army life is going to be
like. Leave your mind open"
Two weeks from now you will be
thoroughly disgusted with your new
job. You will have been herded
from place to place, you will have
wandered in nakedness and bewil-
derment through miles of physical
examination. you will look upon
privacy and individuality as things
you left behind you in a golden
civilian society.
You Will Develop Hate.
Probably you will have developed
a murderous hatred for at least one
sergeant and two corporals. You
will Writhe and fume under what
you consider brutality and sadism
and you will wonder how an en-
lightened Nation can permit such
atrocity in its Army. Take it easy
brother: take it easy.
Keep this one beam of radiant
hope constantly before youl The
first three weeks are the hardest
For those first three or possibly
four weeks you will bear the great
est part of the painful process of ad-
justing yourself to an altogether
new routine. In those first three
weeks you will get almost the full
required dose of confusion and mis-
cry. You will be afraid to leave
your barracks lest the full wrath of
the War Department fall upon you
You will find yourself unbelievably
awkward and clumsy when you try
to learn the drills, and the knowl-
edge of this awkwardness will make
you even more awkward. Unless you
relax you can be very unhappy dur
ing those first three weeks.
When you are assigned to your
basic training center you'll really
get into it. You'll drill and drill.
little more each day, and when the
sergeant tries to correct or advise
you you'll want to tear his throat
out with your bare hands. You'll be
sick Of the sound of his voice be-
fore an hour has passed. The only
comfort can give you is the knowl-
edge that the poor sergeant is hav-
Ing helluva time, too. He knows

Another serious situation which we
are confronted with Is the fact that
some of our members continue to make
individual settlements at lower rates
on items that have been previously
settled on other plants at higher rates.
Such settlements are the result, ON
part of these members of their in
ability to find time to bring their prob

and advice on whatever the question
may be.
We noticed in last weeks Herald
where Local Union No. - is also con

make individual settlements These men
are Il real menace to our trades and
the only way To check them is to make
the penalty 50 high that il would be

TREND TOWARD LOWER
STATE INCOME TAXES

Chicago ILNS). - Trend Of state
personal income tax legislation this
year was, with few exceptions, toward
lower income taxes, the Federation of
Tax administrators reports. This is in
marked contrast to state tax legiSla-
ton in several other fields - tobacco
and liquor cNciSeS for eNnmple-wherc
the trend was toward more and higher
taxes.
Two StatcS-South Dakota and West
Virginia dropped out of the income
tax field altogether, West Virginia re-
pcnling it's S-year-old personal income
tax over the governors veto. Two
states, Wisconsin and Oregon, repealed
SurlaX"S on income.
Only ma ior exemption To the trend
toward lower income taxes was the
action by Deaware'S legislature in
levyiug an additional | per cent on
gross income for l943 and 1914, with
the statute allowing II credit against
gross income up to Sl5G II quarter or
S62i for any calendar years. the same
as the federal tax.

Strict Laws For
Women Workers
Conditions In Plunts Found
Better Than Those Criti-
cized By President

Working conditions for women in
New York State factories are sub
stantially as good now as they were
before the war, it was agreed last
week by representatives of industry,
labor and the Government. With its
effective strict labor laws, this State,
at least, apparently is not affected by
President RooseveltS statement that
women were being discouraged from
entering war plants by poor cafeteria
and sanitary accommodations.
Temporary diSpensationS from TN"
States labor law have been granted
to essential plants since Dec. -, 1911
by Il War Emergency DiSpcnSation
Committee of the Department of La
Dor, but careful investigation precedeS
such special treatment, which is re
considered every six months.
I'VE have in no way relaxed the
New York state Law guaranteeing
women adequate rest and sanitary
facilities" declared Mrs. Emily Sims
Marconnier, chairman of the diSpen-
Tlllon committee. lleT statement wis
seconded by \. II. llertZbergcr, acting
director of the division of inspection
of the State Department of Labor
whose IA factory inspectors this year
have covered 10000 of the largest of
the States 72,OOo factories.
Few Violations Noted
Although many plants which never
before hired women have taken ON
hundreds for continuous production on
war orders, violations of sanitary rcgu-
lationS occur only in isolated in
stances" Mr.. IiertZberger asserted.
DiSpenSatiOnS from rules regarding
