Migratory Workers
Must Have Statement
From Local Office

In an effort to lessen the diff
culties that workers are encountering
when they leave this county to seek
employment in industrial and war
areas, Milburn W. Mann, in charge of
the Oakland L. s. Employment office,
urged that they secure a statement Of
availability from the local office Of
the war manpower commission.
He said that many leave here with
out such a statement and then cannot
be given employment.
One of the provisions of the EN-
ploymcnt Sterilization program is that
persons migrating to other localities
must have that statement from their
local employment office before they
can be employed in that locality. He
pointed out that individuals would
save themselves much worry and loss
Of time by applying here before they
left.
Mr.. Mama attended a meeting of
employers in essential industries and
representatives Of the War Man
power commission, held in Thomas,
W. Va, last Wednesday, for the pur-
pose Of discussing the employment
sterilization program for this area.
Stradcr Phares, USES. manager;
Howard Dudley, interviewer at Elk

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-21

m THE world of fashion where
feminine foibles do more to
dictate the modes of the
moment than anything else, it is
rare indeed for a style to pop
up that actually combines chic
smartness with practicability.
But the new "blackout MILL
merry" does that very thing.
The credit for thinking up the
latest fashion in feminine head
gear goes to hat stylist Lilly
Dache who devised four of the
pert top-pieces pictured here.
The practical purpose of the new
after-dark bonnets is to make
the wearer clearly visible on
our dimmed-out streets.
The executives of the Office of
Civilian Defense have long been
asking people to wear white
arm-bahds, or some similar dis
tinguishing mark, when ventur-
ing out on the darkened high
ways of our coastal cities That's
-bceausc anyone wearing dark
clothes is practically invisible to
motorists driving with dimmed
headlights and may be killed.
With this in mind Designer
Dache created her bonnets for
Frightening the blackout hats
that glisten in the dark like high
way reflectors. Combination
white cuffs to go with the smart
chapeaux add an additional touch
of style - and safety.
AS the pictures show, these
creations can be made from
practically any material. The
four reproduced here have been
fashioned of white satin, embroi-
derry and sequins. Black feathers,
wells, ribbons and felt bows have
been used for trim.
The hats, all made for wear
with dark and contrasting

Dull Honeymoons
For War Brides

THAT old wheeze about the
couple who couldn't decide
where to spend their honey
moon and wound up their first
argument by going off to sepa-
rate places is no longer funny
at least not 10 a good many
American brides who are spend
ing their honeymoons today away
from their grooms.
There were more marriages
and less honeymoons last year
than ever before in the United
States. Weddings reached an all
time high of 100000. In most
Of these weddings, the groom
wore a uniform.
The men were lucky indeed if
they got a few days leave in
which TO get married much less
time in which to slip away on
honeymoon.
War wives, trying TO be near
their husbands, are providing
Uncle Sam with a big headache
All too often the war boom towns
TO which the brides move are
already overlooking and the girls
are lucky II they can find a small
furnished room.
Military duties usually tie the
new husband down so he can't
spend much time with his wife
At best these camp honey
moons arc dull and unsatisfying
affairs In many American cities
however civic, church, and war
service groups such as the USO.
are trying their best TO help war
time brides make the best of
circumstances.
