The end Of the school year Is

aged somehow during the winter
with friends, neighbors and rela-
tives keeping an eye on the young
sters after school. But make-shift
arrangements like that won't do at
all for the two and a half month
summer school vacation.
This Is o problem In every
community where women are
working. It's a problem which
should be tackled right now be-
cause in less than three months
school will be out.
The School Children and War"
series Of leaflets issued by the u.
S. Office of Education has some
practical suggestions on how to get
community action. In Leaflet No.

they call attention vividly to the
need for group care all day. every
day, winter and summer, to safe

Crisis In Child Care
Seen For Summer

tell that they have children need
Ing care because the women are
afraid Of losing their Jobs.
When Ford started hiring women
for Willow Run, for instance, two
of the first four women to apply
admitted they had children. They
were sent right home. After that
every woman who applied said that
she was childless.
PLANT SURVEYS BAD
That's why surveys in industrial
plants don't reveal much need for
child care. A survey conducted
through the school might bring
much better results. But the ques-
tionnaire suggested by the Office
of Education asks where the
mother works. That question
should be omitted because it's
likely to make her afraid for her
job.
The summer care problem is just
part Of the gigantic child care
problem we face. 1t gives US an
opportunity to dramatize the need
and focus attention on the urgency.
The Office Of Defense Health
and Welfare Services estimates
that $1,000 children will need
care In the 10S cities where the
Manpower Commission expects to
conduct intensive campaigns for
recruitment Of women before
July /, 1943. $50 of those chill
dren will be of school age and
In need Of a constructive summer
program.
The working mothers themselves
through their unions, and their
allies the women in the auxiliaries,
must take the lead in forcing COM
munity action on this problem.

Short Of Butter? Here's
A Way TO Stretch II!
BY SUNNY FRESHMAN

Were you caught short with the
freeze on butter and shortening?
Are you wondering how to stretch
your family butter ration? Here
Is one way to turn that last quar-
ter pound Of butter into half a
pound. This recipe was tested and
approved by the General Electric
Consumers Institute.

until firm.
There are ways to stretch
shortening, II you cut the fat
trimmings from uncooked meat
and poultry and use the drip
pings from cooked meat and
poultry. To make drippings out
of the uncooked fat, cut the fat
into small pieces. Put In o hot
skillet over q low flame with q
little bit Of water. Let simmer
until the pieces Of fat curl up and
become brown. Strain the fat
into q glass jar. Cool. cover and
put In frigidaire.
Save all fat and gravies from
cooked meats. Use In stews and
in soups. To remove any odors and
particles from any fat that has
been used for frying. fry a few
thick slices Of raw potato in the
hot fat for a few minutes until
brown and well done. Strain
through muslin over a glass Jar,
and when cold, cover. This way fat
may be used many times for frying,
Bacon fat, for example. will not
taste like bacon when clarified this
way.

which attempted to hold retail
prices to whatever levels obtained
In the various stores In March
1912. the Price Department Of OPA
has sought to work out a program
Of specific dollars and cents prices
either on a national basis. or on a
local community basis. Dollars and
cents prices are easy to enforce.
But the job Of working out dollars
and cents prices involves a lot of
detail and progress has been slow.
In the food field. dollars and
cents prices have so far been an
nounced nationally for pork prod
ucts and will shortly be announced
for other meat products. They
have also been announced on a
local community basis for eggs and
butter.
For the great bulk of foods, the
consumers were promised dollars
and cents prices by way of new
food pricing regulation. The regu-
lation, 1t was explained, would fix
retailers and wholesalers percent
age mark-ups or margins, and these
margins would be quickly trans
lated into dollars and cents prices
at the community level.
It Is now learned that the In
ner clique in the Brown regime
has quietly shelved the idea of
dollars and cents prices Except
for meats and the few other
prices already announced) and
has so framed the new food regu-
lation as to make IL practically
impossible ever to develop dol
lars and cents prices out Of It.
Even clearer Is the surrender Of
OPA to trade pressure in the case
of grade labelling. On February 26
lin the one fortnight statement
that he has made since he took
office-Price Administrator Brown
announced that the OPA would go
ahead with its plans for grade la
belling on the 1943 pack of canned
fruits and vegetables. This was
being done, he explained. in order
to protect the public in the ration
ing Of these foods (if everyone Is
to be limited to three cans of beans
a month, you want to make sure
that the cans are all beans and not
mostly water), and also In order
to be able to carry out the OPA's
program of dollars and cents
prices. Without grade labelling,
proper price ceilings are not only
difficult to establish. but once es-
tablished they are easily evaded
by the introduction Of new brands
Ito which old ceilings don't apply.
The CIO news., 1943-03-29

There seems to be q tendency
either to surrender positions to the
enemy without putting up any con-
test or else to wage sham battles
without the intention Of winning.
When Prentiss Brown took Of
flee I'm January, his first words
were that the cost Of living was
bound to rise at the rate OF one
half Of one per cent o month.
Labor and consumer groups
saw in this an invitation to mer-
chants to raise their prices with
out objection from OPA. With
everybody starting to raise prices,
the retreat from price control
would quickly become o disor-
derly rout.
In reply 10 protests, Mr.. Brown
later explained that people were
drawing incorrect conclusions from
his words, and asserted that he
would enforce price control to the
limit Of his authority. This seemed
reassuring until a deluge of state
ments started to issue from OPA
about the new policy Of voluntary
enforcement" of price and ration
Ing regulations.
SIGNIFICANT TOUCH
Last week Brown repeated his
original statement that the cost Of
living was bound to go up at the
rate of a half percent a month.
The AP report of his speech added
this significant touch:
"He said that the OPA was hope
full Of staying within that figure
but contended that In any case "a
further rise in wages beyond the
Little Steel formula would be dam
gerous."
In other words, no matter what
happens to prices. wages must not
be raised!
On the same day that Brown
announced this wage-price policy,
OPA Publicity Director Lou
Max0n told the National Associa-
tion Of Better Business Bureaus
that the OPA had taken of "the
boxing gloves and put away the
police whistle as an enforcement
weapon" and had adopted o hu-
manixation policy Of seeking pub
lie cooperation for price control
and ratloning. The Brown and
Max0n statements fit together
like hand and glove: II you are
going to let prices rise, you OBJ
vlously don't need o police
whistle.

Someone once said, Many men
who forged their way to the front

getting at is this: There are GER

seem to forget that as members,
stewards or committeeman Of these
units, it is their duty to help main
tain and protect the interests OF
their fellow workers under the ju-
risdiction Of their respective units.
A lot of them are known as dues
paying members because Of the fact
that they partake Of no activities
whatsoever within their union. They
are ever ready TO jump into the
boss britches without stopping to
realize that the seniority they
possess is being maintained solely
because of their union, and thereby
placing some of them in the ad-
vanced positions they now hold.
To these people we would like to
say, don't use the war as a stink
slip or camouflage for your real
reason-that of feathering your
own nests and endeavoring 20
ascend a rung or two on the So
called ladder of success.
We won't emit any claims that
such people will end up in the pen;
but we can pan them so as to make
known their traits, and perhaps
make them very uncomfortable in
the eyes Of their friends (if they
have any).
You can't serve two masters and
serve them well, so take heed and
watch your business. Get off the
fence, because some day you may
be appealing to some member of
your unit body to settle your gripe.
