AGENCIES FACING
STAFF TURNOVER
More Help Needed in VINO
Office, Less in OPA
Headquarters

Turn-overs In stats Of ocal gov
eminent agencies appear In store,
with increases IN personnel at the
War MRnpower Commission office
and u. s. Employment Service and
decreases at the OpA rent admins
tration office. Expansion Of duties
in the labor offices and decline Of
activity in rent administration have
been noted for sometime, and re-
distribution Of funds for administra-
tive purposes with subsequent
changes In staffs Is expected In the
near future.
Several weeks ago the U. s. Civil
Service Commission put out q call
for q manpower consultant in the
Waterbury area, and with employee
utilization Investigations already in
progress here an appointment Is exc
pected to be made shortly. An addi-
tional secretarial assistant, Miss
Ruth Wastlauswas Of Oakville, was
recently assigned to the office Of
Mrs. Mary NJ. Dewey, VINO area
director, who had previously been
assisted only by one worker, Miss
Beatrice Fogel. With activity at
the office steadily increasing due to
new regulations and controls over
labor, some observers predict fur
ther additions may yet be made to
the staff.
Although the USES personnel has
not yet been changed despite the
assignment Of additional duties, need
Of q larger force after Oct. is is
expected to result In changes. The
service will be the exclusive agency
for placing workers In accordance
with orders issued from Washing
ton, and more than q so per cent In
crease In business is expected when
factories are forced to abandon their
individual hiring work.
Although no official report has
been made as yet, It Is believed At
torney Sidney CasSel, on the legal
staff Of the OPA rent office, will
be dropped along with q real estate
appraiser, Frank Carroll, and two
clerks. The budget is reported to
have been cut from $4,000 to $12,-
$50 and layoffs planned accordingly
Several investigators and lawyers
recently terminated their services
and the staff at the present time is
already about half the original
force.
It Is believed lawyer from CEN
trail quarters win give legal service
to the local rent area. With the
rent program said to be well un-
der control here, the enforcement
duties have regularly been decreased
and the need OF O large staff no
longer exists, 1t is reported.

Jitters Grow
In Germany

London, Oct. 4-(UP)-Hintino
at growing Nazi fears Of a home
front collapse such as that in i9is
DR.. Joseph Goebbels, German pro-
paganda minister, told the German
people IN radio broadcast yester-
DAY that anyone attempting ito
undermine belief IN victory would
be decapitated.
In an'address marking the annual
harvest festival ct the Berlin sports
palast. 0oebbels said that SERIOUS
setbacks In the future must be ex-
pected. that the road to victory ran
through 70 deep valley Of suffering
and pain" and that the life OF the
whole German nation was in the
balance.
He also asserted, however, that
German defeatists were quite
isolated individuals" that Allied air
raids had not damaged production
seriously, that Nazi scientists con-
stantly were developing new air and
submarine weapons and that the
defGnses Of Europe still were strong
and secure.

It's one way to learn geography
and not the happiest way. But at least
it sinks in.
Thousand Of American families will
remember about the plains of Rome
because American boys are dying
there.
And Tarawa-whoever heard of
the place until American forces rolled
up that awesome total of losses! But
Tawara isn't likely to be forgotten
for long time.
Tarawa, Teheran, Stalingrad, For
mosa, the Burma Road, Chungking,
Guadalcanal
Some of them rough, with square
corners; some of them rounded and
musical, like the Spanish names in
Florida and California and the Indian
names in Wisconsin.
But, ladies and gentlemen, names
you will remember all your lives!
Today these places names are set
out for US by the great doings of war.
They are names dragged out of OBJ
scurity by the massive array of fight
ing forces, or by the conferences of
heads of state busy with the affairs of
war.
Tomorrow they will get another
kind of fame, or whatever it may be,
by the facts that surround the ending
of the war-of one of the wars.
And later on, the ending of the
other war. For we fight two wars at
once and they will not end at the same
time.
The conferences thus far held do
not make clear what fates may be in
store for some of the lands of which

Out of all the news about battles
and international conferences, the
school kids must be learning a lot of
geography.
Today world geography goes with
the days news and there's no escape.
For the kids who can't read, there's
the radio.
News the other day gave everyone
an education all over again on what
parts of the earth go to make up the
japanese Empire.
When it came out of Cairo (Which
radio announcers variously call Kayro
and Kyro) that the Jap Empire is TO
be stripped down to it's island size,
as it was when American warships
for the first time scared the hell out
of the nips, lot of half forgotten
names came into the geographical
picture.
Japan is going to be forced to give
up all the conquered lands-and what
a list when you get it all down! And
those names will bob up again and
again, SO that most everyone can pass
an examination with grades of at least
80. Finally they will bob up when the
peace treaty-if it is a treaty-is
drawn for signing.

Charles Raps, Camden Boy.
With Infantry Band on
South Pacific Island

The Cincinnati Enquirer Sunday
carried group picture of the mem
bers of the 147th Infantry Band, in
cluding Charles Raps, Camden boy, a
member of the band since he entered
the services early in 1941. The band
is at present stationed on a rest
island in the South Pacific.
Charles, now Corporal Raps, was
assistant postmaster in the Camden
office when he left on January 18,
1941, with a group of thirty Preble
County young men. He was imme-
diately sent to Camp Shelby, Miss.
Corporal Raps is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adam Raps who have since
moved from Camden to Hamilton.

ever terrible that may sound-to set
final course everywhere toward
freedom.
The world hopes for a peace that
will last-and there are good signs
that it may work out SO, But we
would be foolish indeed if we were to
blind ourselves to the fact that evil
and greed die hard and that treaties
are not always kept,
Some of this sinks into US as we
learn geography through war.
AS the United Nations fight hard to
win, so will they have to think hard
and plan mighty we'll for the struc-
ture and the vigilance that will open
for keeps the road to freedom for
battered and hungry world humanity.
