Merchant Seurnen
To Be Listed On
Community Rolls
Land Makes Appeal In Per.
sonul Letter to Cover
nors Of 48 States

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-Gover-
n0rs all over the nation are pledging
wholehearted support to an appeal by
Admiral Emory s. Land War Ship
ping Administrator, to give merchant
Seamen place of equality with other
members of the armed forces on town
and community honor rolls, the War
Shipping Administration said.
Admiral Land made his appeal in
personal letters to Governors of the 4S
states and to governor generals of
United States Territories and Posses
from families and friends of merchant
seamen who say that in many com
munities they are not counted among
the nations war heroes.
Land pointed out that Congress has
officially recognized the outstanding
services of these men by providing
medals for distinguished service and
other honor award. He also called
attention to a declaration by President
Roosevelt that the work Of our mer-
chant Seamen is Just as important TO
our ultimate victory as the men in the
armed forces That theirs is Il most
dangerous job, Admiral Land declared,
is attested by the grim toll of their
lost and injured
This is a War of Transportation,
these men are doing Il big jOb-a tough
JOHN keeping open the vital lifeline
between our industrial front and our
battle fronts. Without it we could
never hope for Victory" Land said.
Responding quickly to his appeal,
governors are taking action by calling
the attention of communities in their
states to the role merchant seamen are
playing. Many have notified the War
Shipping Administration that they are
preparing proclamatiOns and others
are calling press conferences

FIND OUT!
By RUTH TAYLOR

As we celebrate the four hundred
and fftieth anniversary Of Columbus
epoch making voyage 10 the Americas,
we must stop and consider what it
means to MS. First, Of course. II marks
the beginnings of the country we hold
dear. But It Is not that which Is Of
greatest significance Nearly five hun
dred years before Columbus, the
Norsemen had been here, and other
explorers would have come-fOr the
taking of COnstantinople by the Turks
had shut off the overland route to the
new courses and new ways of thought.
The voyage Of Columbus teaches Us
the value of applied curiosity. Along
the wharfs of Genoa. among the BLACK
bearded seafaring men, Columbus had
heard strange tales Of land beyond the
Ocean-Of ships that, blown from their
courses, had sighted great capes and
verdant islands. He heard the half
whispered theory that the earth was
not fiat as the scholars In their shell
tered lives had decreed, that it was
round. From these tales and whispers
he evolved his own idea - that tn.
lands We're really The Indies. And he
had to find out.
The path was long and hard-and
seemingly hOpeless-all the way from
the incOnspicuous life Of traders son
in Genoa to the post of Lord High
Admiral Of Spain. He was jeered at
and Knocked, and scorned. Every path
that he followed ended in stone wall
of failure-but each time he started
all over again, determined to find out
At last the way was opened. And wheI
it was, he was ready for his OppOrtun
ity - equipped mentally to carry i,
through
That is the lesson in Columbus voy
age The power to find out. the willing
ness to see, plus the ability to keep on
is the real secret of success. The great
est advantage in education is that il
teaches us how to find out how to study
and how to learn.
There may not be new continents tc
| diScover-but there are opportunities
equally as great before those who have
eager minds. There are no heights tC
which the man with AN ideal may not
climb-nO oceans of ignorance he ma!
not cross to find the unknown treasure
he seeks. Each man is potential
| Columbus and whether he voyages
into unknown seas depends upon how
great is his determination to find out

Industrial Conversion Plans
Held Postwar Necessity

Boston ULNS). - Advocating plan,
ming to deal with postwar problems
the American Federation of Labor
executive council reported to the fed
eratiOn's convention here:
Life after the armistice will pro
coed from where it is without abrupt
or radical changes. In this country, the
important thing is to have ready plans
for industrial conversion with definite
provisions for carrying them out.
THE two basic undertakings are for
industries to convert to peacetime pro
ductiOn and for workers to find jobs
in these peacetime industries. There
will be involved the largest change
over ever experienced in this country
which must be effected with the least
possible longtime unemployment SO
that we may do the least damage to
our citizens. Private industries must
plan and capital be ready to make the
conversion.
There must be national employ
ment service ready and equipped to
cooperate with unions and manage
ments to get workers fitted into suit
able jobs with the least bungling pos
Sible. To tide workers over the inter
walls between jobs and emergencies that
interfere with work there must be an
adequate social insurance system to
protect workers against the needless
decentralization of relief and unemploy-
ment without income"

WOMEN

WOMEN
Because of defense job or lack of
the usual help in the home most women
are buster than ever this year and will
have less time to think about or do
Christmas shopping. Therefore one
hears much talk now where women
are gathered in groups about doing
their Christmas buying now.
If you can squeeze in the time and
have the ingenuity you can make
mank things at home much nicer and
cheaper than ready made. Haunting
the needlework counters on your lunch
hour will prove profitable later Many
inexpensive items can be made to look
many times their cost by adding few
simple stitches of embroidery, Il mono
gram, or Il hand turned hem.
Adorable baby things can be pur-
chased to which can be added hand
crocheted edge, a simple applique or a
dainty flower spray. Envelopes contain
ing all the pieces yarn and pattern for
and dolls children love so dearly can
be purchased at such Il low cost COM
pared to the finished stuffed product.
For the homemaker, luncheon mats
and napkins may be cut from butcher
linen and frnged or bound or mono
grained. Mats save much laundry work
where the maid problem must be con-
sdered.
Pert kitchen curtains may be made
of those colorful hand blocked towels
by splitting the towel lengthwise, get
ting one pair from one towel.
\ bride would love a gift of a pair
of sheets or cases with her monogram
hand done. or with hand crocheted
edge. Thin silk or rayOn blanket covers
bound in groSgrain ribbon, with ribbon
monOgramS are indeed Il sluXury and
inexpensive and simple to make at
home.
Aprons, more in use than ever can
be purchased all finished with the eX-
ception of adding an appliqued pocket
in the form of Il vegetable fruit or
flower.
Children love ducks or rabbits ap-
pliqued on their clothes. The young
lady of the family would love a hand
knit evening sweater as featured in the
current magazine MademOselle.
The list is unending-you'll surprise
yourself with some of the unusual
things you can make so easily for gifts.
