WHAT ARE THE WAVES
AND THE SPARS?

The WAVES is an organization
of women whose job is to replace
Navy men at shore stations. The
SPARS is an organization of wo-
men whose job is to replace Coast
Guard men at shore stations. AS
member of the WAVES or
SPARS, you can wear the same
Navy blue, win the same ratings
and earn the same pay as Amer
ica's finest fighting men.
You'll hold the same shore
jobs that are now filled by men.
at Navy and Coast Guard bases
throughout the continental United
States WAVES and SPARS do
all types of office work. They al
so are needed to fill jobs in ra-
dio, communications, storekeep-
ing. Some are needed for impor-
tant posts in mechanics and avia-
ton ground work. as machinists,
for example, or as operators of the
Link Trainer, that amazing device
which teaches future Navy pilots
the principles of flying. Other
women are needed for various
technical positions.

REGARDING RENTS

EQltor Inc Citizen:
It seems to me that your edi-
torial, Question of Live or Die, y
makes a mountain out of mole
hill, as there are probably very
few cases of withdrawal of houses
from the market and many of those
are for reasons other than low
rents even though that may be
given - for instance, job in the
Navy Yard at 500 a week, net
There are two sources of dis
satisfaction with rent control
here FIRST, rents on places rent
ed October, 1941, are ceiling
rents" and the Rent Board has
no jurisdiction; while most land
lords would be satisfied with them
if ''times were normal" they are
dissatisfied now because times
are not normal and far from it;
They pay more taxes, more for
maintenance and repairs and in
finitely more for general living eX-
penses. On the other hand. the
tenant is getting two to three
times as much in wages as he
could or did in October, 1941. AL
so, due to rapidly changing con-
ditions in the summer and fall of
1871 all rents did not adjust them
selves to a parity, with the result
that the early ''profiteer" who
started to raise his rents prior to
October 1941 is now getting much
more than the decent landlord
and the Rent Board has no juris-
diction. SECONDLY, rents on ac-
commodations provided for Oct
ober, 1941, are set by the Rent
Board and on what is known as d
Comparable" basis. Here there is
dissatisfaction because the Board
is cutting those rents way below
what the landlord had expected
to get when he made his invest
ment.
What is needed is an "Equaliza-
ton Board" to adjust rents so
that they bear a decent relation
one to the other and also to the
present cost of living and to the
present income of the tenants. AS it
is now, Uncle Sam is arbitrarily
taking away from one class-land-
lords-to give to another class
tenants-and the landlords don't
like it. 1t does not add anything
to the housing accommodations
and indeed tends to prevent their
increase. Strangely enough Uncle
Sam does not believe in his own
medicine - he raises rents in his
own Housing Projects. s" ~
Very Truly yours.

IL or cooperation.
And that is the reason why our
tasks - w n tever they may
comprise - should be done with
as much painstaking as is exhib-
tied by your men who do the
fighting. Every job, drafted moth
ers, should be effected with their
same spirit of giving, of sacrific-
ing, of cooperating, and not with
the selfish motive of solely receiv
ing. In time of war, financial
gains should take second position
in the heart; that is, if we hope
to help your men win this grim
conflict.
Of course, it must be owned
that wage earners should receive
a pay. check which meets the re-
quirements of our rising costs of
l. living. Yet, to put that pay check
first and the quality of work last
is the best way to lose a war. AS
you know so we'll, to win a war
we must put country before any
selfish aim; we must work and
pull together in every essential
and less essential avenue on the
fronts of home. Only by uniting
our working capacities can we
give your men in uniform, not
only the supplies, but the support
they need to win the war. And this
means that we must exert the
same effort in our jobs today, as
we did in time of peace, when pay
checks had to be earned to retain
those jobs. But at this grave hour
when your fighting men are work
ing hard at their fighting jobs, too
many - who engage in work they
may consider of small value to
our war machine show little
effort in their work. AS the armed
forces are inceasing, they realize
that civilian workers are badly
needed. Thus they often take ad-
vantage of that situation, and re-
fuse to embrace the spirit of CO.
operation which is required even
in the so-called essential posts
They disregard the fact that every
job on the home front has its
place in keeping civilian life alert
for our war machine.
