BUILDING THE
PRODUCTION ARMY

One of the less talked about but
vitality important war activities OF
industry has come to the fore with
the announcement of the General
Motors Institute that it will start
mid-year classes again this year in
cooperative engineering, following
the precedent it set last year with
such effective results.
We are coming to know well the
amazing record of American indus
try in pouring staggering quanti-
ties of war materials into the
breach in democracy's defenses.
Production statistics from Detroit,
reports of lend-lease shipments to
England and Russia, the story of
how the arrival of late-model tanks
and tank destrOyers turned the tide
of battle in the desert sands before
Cairo-all these have helped to
change our desperate anxiety and
questioning attitude to reinsurance
and pride in the nations productive
power and have helped our military
leaders to turn from rear guard
actions to planning offensives. We
have seen, too. in these reports in
the constantly increasing hiring
of women, in the talk of a man
power shortage the evidence of
unprecedented employment by the
industries involved in war produc-
tiOn.
But we seem to take for granted
that important bridge over the gap
between new employe and a
trained worker. The gap is even
wider than normal where war pro-
duction is concerned, because in
many cases greater skill is re-
quired and even experienced peace
time workers have to be retrained.
Industry has had to carry on that
training as it has expanded its pro-
ductiOn schedule.
The General Motors Institute is
an outstanding example of how this
training goes forward. The Insti-
tute. working around the cleck,"
trained $4,000 men and women en-
ployes of the company during 1912. /
The cOmpany's 104 plants over the
country are training thousands of
employees each week through the (
Institutes central and field pro- !
grams. Hundreds of men in the I
armed services also are being !
trained by the Institute as in
structOrs and for other technical /.
responsibilities. The training pro-
gram is continually being ex-
panded and streamlined for greater
and last year the
Institute started mid-year classes
to expedite this bread program.
Besides the thousands of adult
new workers being trained and
veteran workers being retrained
through the year. these mid-year
classes are drawing many gradual
ing high school students and SEN
iors with sufficient credits. Many
Of the students of the cooperative
courses at the Institute
are enrolled in the Army and Navy
Reserve as part of the nationwide
collegiate training program. and
when graduated are eagerly sought
by the armed forces.
Building this great production )
army. which il the case of General
Motors is we'll past the 100000
mark. as well as training techni-
.ians and instructors for the fight
ing forces. is such large-scale
operation and such a remarkable
achievement that it provides a
worthy parallel to the company's
'ecord- breaking production.

FARMERS GIVEN MORE
PROTECTION BY NEW
SEED LEGISLATION
(continued from First Pagel

hN"'N'''NN-
any mixtures of such seeds.
Vegetable seeds are included il
the revised law and will be re.
quircd to meet certain termination
standards or should they be below
these standards they must be sc
marked and labeled with the per-
centage Of termination. These
standards will be announced later
by the State Board of Agriculture
Individuals or firms trucking
seed from one part of the state To
another for sale as planting seed
must attach labels giving the an
alysis. All seed for planting pur-
poses offered for sale at auctions.
baZaarS. sales stables. etc. must
carry analysis tags Seed entering
the state. that has been produced
by farmers outside Of the state
must comply with the federal seed
act as well as the Delaware Seed
Law. These TWO laws are in con-
rormity with each other,
There is nothing in the act TO
prevent one farmer from selling to
another farmer such seeds as are
grown on his own farm. provided
he does not advertise the sale of
the seed in the local papers or move
the seed from the farm by COM
mon carrier
Farmers wishing TO sell seed for
planting purposes at auction. ba
zaars. sales stables. etc. or wish TO
advertise seed for sale in local pa
pers. should send samples for test
inc purposes 10 the State Seed
Laboratory at Dover Seed should be
sent at least two weeks before Of
iering or advertising il for sale.
This will give the laboratory suffi-
cient time to make the analysis on
most kinds of seed. All tests are
made free of charge to any individ-
ual within the state and farmers
samples have preference at all
times.
Seed containing over 3 per cent
weed seed cannot be sold and les
pedeza seed containing over 500
dodder per pound must he labelled
with a red tag and marked Low
Grade Seed with the number of
dOdder it contains.
All seed handled by dealers must
be tagged and it will he unlawful
for any person TO sell or offer for
sale seed having over nine month
old examination test date. Dealers
must keep a closer check on their
carry over and have retests made
after the nine month period. These
retests will he made free of charge.
The penalties for failure to COM
ply with the law are, not more than
one hundred dollars for the first
offense and $3.50 for each subse-
quent similar offense. and the seed
is subject to seizure.
The use of good quality seed is
a vitality important factor in any
farm production program. The CO.
operation of the farmers and reli-
able seed men in enforcing hte
seed law is necessary and worth
while. Should any one offer to sell
seed not properly tagged the facts
should be reported promptly to the
State Board of Agriculture.
Pamphlets containing the new
seed law will be printed and dis
Any person desiring one
should contact the State Board of
An announcement as
to the effective date of enforcement
will be made in the near future.

Sportsmonship

Now that the football season has come to
close it is fitting that tribute should be paid to
the fine craftsmanship that has been exhibited
Wells Field by players, coaches, and spec
tators throughout hard fought and tumultuous
series.
Football, like much of warfare, is character
lied by much bodily contact and inside stuff. :"
In the actual mitigating of the battlefield where
the struggle is to the DEATH there is little or no
room for courtesy, and much must be done
that under the rules and customs of peace and
civil relationship would be called dirty All
the more congratulations in order, then,
that in the very midst of preparation for com
bat can still fight on the football field
with all the fierceness of which they are cap
able and yet in all good sportsmanship.
Much praise is due, too, to the staff and
personnel of the 92nd Infantry Division who
have agreed, for the sake of the game and
of camp activity, to allow their Special Units
team, which has already won the series cham
pionship undefeated, to engage in today's
ond and post-season set-to with Sou. A fine
and sportsmanlike act that deserves a big
hand. May the better team win!

Editorial
Public Hero and Good Soldier

Joe Louis did it again No, he didn't win
any new fistic laurels during his recent three
day trip to Fort Huachuca; but he proved again
and conclusively-that he has what it takes
to remain a top-ranking public hero
The same traits that made "Deadpan' Joe
a national hero will keep him one-his disarn-
ing simplicity, his sincerity his open-hearted-
ness and fair-mndedness, his loyalty. Above
all, however, it is another quality that will keep
him atop the pedestal that heroworshipping
Americans have erected for him. 1t is an ex-'
emplifcation of something inherent and intan-
gible that can be described best by the term
manHness. This quality, above all, endeared
Joe to Fort Huachucans on his second visit to
the desert fortress.
1t is quality that enables him to hold no
grudges, yet expect no particular favors for
himself because of past achievements or past
honors. 1t is quality that made him on one
occasion tacitly ask the same treatment of his
enlisted colleagues as was accorded him. 1t
is quality that months of travel by plane and
train and one-night pugilistic demonstrations
would not take the edge off,
Moreover, this manness of Sgt Joe Louis
Barrows is something that undoubtedly con-
tributed to the surprise that many of his listen
ers received upon hearing him speak last Fri
day afternoon in the Field House. He was a

It's the sort that will keep him hero of

By THELMA THURSTON GORHAM
For beauties that many men with eyes cannot see
We pray, Lord, let us ever thankful be;
For blessings of life and love unnumbered,
And food for which well-fed men have hungered
For safety of our shores,
And bounty of stores,
For health and hope in times like these
We pray, Lord, make ever thankful, please
For bright dreams of freedom-loving men
We pray, Lord make ever thankful when
A blow is struck and tyranny tumbles
From its niche, beaten by the hosts it humbles;
For awakened world
For brotherhood unfurld
Like pennant pointing to future happiness
We are grateful Lord, and pray in thankfulness.

Something About
Thanksgiving

Why should we set aside one day, out of the
year. on which to be thankful to God, when
we enjoy his blessings every day? We really
have many things to be thankful for,
in time of war, that, if we took one day upon
which to be thankful for each in turn, year
would be required to cover even the most i'm
portant blessings. How then have we reduced
thankfulness to one day, to part of
day?
How, too, have we become such polite"
nation that we do not fully understand the
meaning of the term? We have false po-
lteness. We find it a regulation of the bust
ness world to say Thank you for things that
receive even when-we have earned them
paid for them directly or by taxation. In fact,
say Thank you" when we do not mean it,
really, but merely want to be polite.
But for the wonderful blessings from God
that we get every minute, hour, day, week,
month, and year-do we say Thank you for
these? No! But these are the things for which
should really be thankful, for we have paid
nothing for them.
1t is true that we are in crisis and that we
are undergoing hardships to which are not
accustomed. But even as soldiers we have
multiple blessings to be thankful for.
First of all for life, consciousness. and the
power to think and do when many hundreds
of thousands have perished. Thousands of us
did not appreciate even the freedom to go
where we wished and do as we wished until we
became soldiers. We must not now forget the
many of us who are still alive-and our country
winning on all fronts.
We have good food, enough of it, and the
best of equipment. Even our families are be-
ing paid serve our country. And our
hardships, if properly considered, are valued
lessons and training that many others in the
world would be glad to have.
So suppose start now being thankful each
day for what we have and not worrying our
selves unduly over what we do not have or
what may happen. Let us look to the future,
determined to play our part in this struggle,
whatever it may be. and for the present be
thankful every day, every hour, every minute,
and more blessings will be showered upon us
by Almighty God.
