girl from the Go shipbuilders
named Ruth Meyers.

in the game.
Kaiser deals with labor in

saves him the detail work OF
negotiating with all those indl-

he made a closed shop contract
with the AFL crowd for his
Portland, Ore, yard when there
were only II shipbuilders at
work.
Miss Meyers says there were
only &c, but we won't bubble
about II men.

TO THE EDITOR:
uURRAH for Claude F. My
IL crs, whose article in your
paper asked the public not TO
forget the grand work our
nurses are doing in this war. as
we'll as the WACs, WAVES and
women defense plant workers.
So many times / have noticed
that the WACs. WAVES and
SPARS are mentioned as taking
such a great part in this mans
war" but our nurses who do
so much TO alleviate the suffer-
ing of our wounded boys seem
10 be forgotten.
They work side by side with
the doctors and should be given
a little more consideration and
credit for their part in this war,
as well as easing the physical
suffering of the civilians. ~

II is a splendid thing to try TO remedy the
so-called juvenile delinquency. 1t is all right TO
ask as one part of that remedy more playground
facilities in the backyard neighborhoods in cities
However you cannot cure situation that is
typifed by the cases cited here by gentle taps on
the wrist and coddlinC.
Young America has got to learn that in this
life everybody has to do something that he does
not want 10 do. and that the things that are
really worth doing and accomplishing, are the
things that are hard 10 do and hard TO accom-
plish.
We need remedy which is directed at
youthful human nature is designed TO arouse
Just ambition on the part of that young human
nature, and is composed In part OF understanding
and in part OF blood and iron and discipline.
In my opinion, although youth delinquency
is unfortunately growing very much in percent
age, the actual number of youths going wrong
is still very small fraction of the total OF our
young folks.

OF course l knew it wasn't a coin,
but it might be a medal, or some
thing of the sort, so l got the idea
of taking it to a cousin of mine who
collects such things. 1t didn't mean
a thing to Greg, but it wasn't
medal; he was sure of that much.
And then he got an idea; remem-
bered something he'd seen.
"He phoned a friend of his who
collects pewter. We clicked right
