A Rude Awakening

Frank is a nice chap. He doesn't
drink, rarely smokes, land has no par
ticular vices except Partially for
chocolate ice cream sodas Like most
Americans between Is and 38, Frank is
in the service, and has been training now
for about three months. A short time
ago, he arrived home on his first leave,
feeling like a fifth-grader who had
skipped class to 60 fishing on the first
day of summer. He had a girl, and was
anxious to see her, to make up for lost
time, to get in some dancing and some
cokes before getting back to the grind.
He was allowed the usual IS gallons OF
"furloug.l gas" to make his stay at home
little more enjoyable-or so he thought.
Well, Frank was eager to take his girl
to one of the better dining and dancing
places, just outside the city and have
some fun Someone remarked jokingly,
that he couldn't do that sort of thing
any more, because that was pleasure
driving and out for the duration. This
was good joke, but Frank was serious
Young fellow who was anxious to do the
right thing, so he thought about the
driving ban, and the more he considered
it, the more he felt he should investigate
and find out if his evening of fun was
against the law. He called the director
Of the local rationing board and asked
about the proposed trip. Sure he could
go If he wanted to-, the director told him,
but if he were picked up, he would have
to take the consequences. The director
pointed out that he could not be the final
Judge of the matter. He was merely en-
forcing the rules which came to him from
the state office.
Now Frank was nobody's fool. He had
worked four hard years for college de-
gree, and had picked up a lot of the
solid stuff that goes with it. So he
began wondering why in the world any
one should give him Is gallons of fur
Tough gas if he couldn't use it. Why did
they keep telling him to work like dog
while at camp, and then relax completely
when he got home, if they are going to
pull something like this? Why was he
giving his all and getting nothing, when
so many were giving nothing and get
ting gas to waste? There were lot OF
why's, but they all added up to one
thing. Despite all he had heard on the
radio and read in the papers, the service
man was still persona non grata" as far
as consideration went.
Frank didn't take his girl out to din
ner, he didn't even drive his car out OF
the garage. He obeyed the rules. But
he went back to camp with funny feel
ing in his heart that maybe this 100 per
cent cooperation in this war was just
good slogan that managed to fool most
of the people most of the time.

HOw's the Coal Pile?

That may be the query two years hence
if the General Assembly sees any merit in
the proposal of Senator Joseph ]. Tooher
of Stamford. This Democratic member
of the Senate thinks that we ought to
guard against coal famine in the next
two years. He suggests that the state
creates $10,000,000 coal pile to be ad-
miniStered for those in need of coal by
special commission.
The only drawback lies in the fact
that the state commission might find
It bit difficult to handle such large
consignment of coal as is required for
the homes of this state. And there's
always the thought that if it created a
coal-pile, why not an oil we'll or two.
After all, everyone isn't going to be able
to convert to coal and somebody will be
still demanding fuel oil now and then.
So the state can't really afford to dis
eliminate in the handling of fuels.
And we wouldn't be surprised If there
might not be understandable objections
from the hundreds Of coal dealers
throughout the state. After all, they may
figure that they've been handling the
business of supplying homes with coal
for years, so why should there be any
changes right now, even though it's hard
to get deliveries. Putting the state into
the coal business might be only an
opening wedge to setting it up as a pur--
veyor of many other commodities hard
hit by the war. And that would just about
kill off free enterprise, initiative, etc.

This country is manufacturing enough
small arms ammunition each month to
fire 83 rounds at every individual SOL
dier in the Axis armies, reports the War
Department. That is good. We are
looking forward to the day when few
months supply can be utilized in that
very way. Those in munitions plants
who are doing somewhat circuitous rou-
tine work should bear this in mind. The
small thing they are working on will be
something worth while when completed

Reluctant Women

Various surveys agree that American
women show little enthusiasm for war
work, either in factories or in voluntary
war services, and suggest that intelligent
recruitment methods will have to be
adopted if the majority of women are to
be interested. The number of women in
war industry has reached 1900, 900, but
the National Industrial Conference Board
reports that employers find that most
T70men feel no personal urge to go to
'scTk in factories. There is no social pres

We try to acquaint ourselves with the
data sent out by the Office OF Civilian
Defense; to study it intelligently. With
new ideas and systems developing from
day to day sometimes it is difficult. The
civilian war services are fourteen in num-
Der as itemized by the OCD office and
they are part of what is called the Block
Plan. And there are two major branches
of local defense: civilian protection and
civilian war services. Under the Block
Plan it is aimed to have total coverage
of all households. If you are contacted
from time to time and literature delivered
to you it is your duty to follow instruc-
tons to the best of your ability. In all
defense activities for those at home, the
best advice is to follow instructions in
your daily newspapers and to heed orders
issued by those in charge of activities.

Whitney Warren, Architect

Whitney Warren was practical in his
architectural designing. One of our
great men in the field of architecture, he
believed in following modern trends; that
architecture should advance to meet adj
vancing trends in engineering. Born in
New York City Mr.. Warren also died in
that city which bears the imprint OF
many of his designs.
The name Whitney Warren suggests
Immediately to us the Grand Central Sta
ton in New York, several big, large rail-
roads, some of New York's best known
Metropolitan hotels, and last but not
least his rebuilding of the Louvain Ii
brary destroyed in World War I.
One thing that always disturbed him
was the lack of promenades in New York
City. He favored the French type OF
thoroughfare. It will be remembered he
engaged in a somewhat lengthy contro-
versy over the Latin inscription on the
facade of the restored Belgian library
Concerning his decided liking for broader
avenues he once said apropos of the
promenade plan for New York City: If
1 had my way would work a revolution
in the whole district that borders on
Fifty-Ninth Street by tearing down ex-
listing structures along it from Queens
borough Bridge and westward from
Columbus Circle to the Hudson"

quite dependent upon improved public
relations. Too many women assume that
the civilian defense jobs are all filled.
Too few, apparently, know that there is
part-time volunteer work which could
be fitted into their home and child-care
programs. American women are not
slackers. They merely have not been
impressed with the extent of the need
and of the opportunity. That is fault of
government which can and should be
remedied.

One handicap has been the diff
ficulty, so far, Of doing damage to
Nazi submarine yards. Hitler has
taken such careful precautions to
house his construction yards I'M
der heavy concrete sheds that he
must have planned long ago to
make the submarine his chief
weapon in his effort to prevent an
Allied victory.
These massive concrete tunnels,
not only are well camouflaged, but
are so heavily built that Allied
bombs can do little damage. Thus
submarine construction can pro-
coed without interruption during
air raids.
Meanwhile, Hitler is concentrat-
ing materials, labor and every
thing he has on launching sub
marines at terrific speed. In
contrast, the U. s. Navy has
moved with snail-like pace In
building escort ships to combat
submarines.
ARCHITECT GIBBS TO RESCUE
At first the Admirals were too
intent on building big battleships
to pay much attention to escort.
Then steel became scarce and 1t
was matter of choosing between
heavy ships for offensive war, or
light ships to defend against sub
marines. This was a hard de-
cision. "A.
In addition, the Navy had about
nine different types of escort ves-'
sells on paper, and the admirals
had difficulty making up their
minds which were the best. An
escort vessel is light, fast, more
thinly armored than a destroyer,
but must be capable of cruising
long distances. 1t is not an easy
ship to design.
Finally, Charles Wilson, WPB
production dynamo, was brought
to washington partly to speed
escort vessels. But this was only
last August. Wilson, to help
the Navy make up its mind,
brought william F. Gibbs, Of
the the famous naval architec-
tural firm Of Gibbs and Cox,
to Washington.
Gibbs has now recommended a
design not unlike the British cor
vette, another name for an escort
