"ABSENTEEISM" IS
PROBLEM LOCALLY
Efforts Being Made to Cut
Down Number of
Hours Lost

"Absenteeism," a word that has
been added to the dictionary since
the beginning Of the war, is causing
great concern in this area, accord
ing to reports received from EN-.
ployerS and those associated with
labor organizations.
While production schedules have
not been seriously handicapped be-
cause Of failure of men and women
war workers to make full time, the
fact remains, however, that should
"absenteeism" increase, production
Will be lowered.
Various methods, all tending TO
cut down the number of man hours
lost, have been tried and are being
tried. Some of these progI ans
have been successful while others
have contributed little to the eff
fort. However, employers con-
tinue to try out various ideas in
their effort to have their plants
fully manned each day Of the
month.
Hagerstown is not alone in this
problem. From many industrial
sections of the country come SINH
lar reports and as yet no one has
been able to suggest a definite plan
to solve the problem.
While many workers in local
plants are taking their jobs lightly
and making little effort to be on
the job every day, larger number,
fortunately, are taking the opposite
attitude toward the Importance of
making every hour count. Several
hundred men and women. it is es-
timated, are able to boast a 100
per cent work attendance during
the past II months and they are to
be highly commended for their eff
forts.

MARyLA AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26. -
Maryland Freshman Congressman
H. Street, Baldwin, Baltimore
County, certainly got himself in
dutch with Speaker Rayburn, Ma
jOrity House Leader John McCor-
mack and other Congressional
leaders, when he barged into the
farm debate the other day with his
maiden speech.
Of course, Baldwin did garner
for himself a crop of sensational
headlines and the plaudits of such
anti-DemOcratic foes as bitterender
John Taber of New York, ranking
COP member of the Appropriation
committee. In fact, all of the Re-
publicans applauded.
However, to Sam Rayburn and
others who have to make the Dem
ocratic majority in Congress work,
Baldwin branded himself as pretty
much Of rank outsider, His
name from now on will be on the
Administration black list as far as
favOrs for his constituents are con-
cerned. Rayburn and Mccormack
are anything but radical New Deal
erS. They are conservative middle
of-the-roaders. But they believe in
party loyalty, especially when it
comes to essential measures such
as the increase of agricultural pro-
duction to relax the food crisis.
Sentiment among the Republi-

DUG-OUT is POPULAR

Williamsport's service mems
newspaper, "The Dug-Out" is PROV
in tremendously popular with men
in the armed forces and hundreds
of copies are being mailed to them
each month. The publication is de-
voted exclusively to news of the
home town and contains letters
from the boys who left Williams
port to serve their country.

which also limited the height of
heels on Women's shoes, and re-
stricted colors to four-black, army
russet, white and town brown.
Some shoes will be discontinued
They include mems patent leather
mems sandals, mems and women's
metal spiked golf shoes and wo-
mems formal evening slippers.
Heavy leather may be used only
for making work shoes, cowboy
utility boots and lined police shoes.
Nurses Should Register
Every graduate nurse in the
country is urged to register with
the Nursing, Health and Medical
Committee, Office of Defense Health
and Welfare Services of the Fed
eral Security Agency. Fifty per
cent have already returned their
cards, according to the War Man
power Commission, but the need
is urgent because nursing units
will be formed on a voluntary basis
as fast as possible.
1942 Onion Sets
Temporary sixty day ceilings
have been placed on the 1912 crop
of onion sets by OPA, at the high
est levels at which sales were
made by growers or merchandisers
during the five days between Feb
Truary 10 and IA, 1943. Both com
mercial growers and victory gar,
deners" will benefit by the regula-
ton. The new ceilings reflect an
average price to the grower of
about S. a bushel and are more
than double the price paid during
the 1937-1941 seasons.
Foreign Crop Situation
Despite strict rationing in Swe-
den, potatoes will be very scarce
by spring. Weekly quota is seven
pounds per person but will be less.

French wheat crop was below
average this year and II months
supply must be stretched over IA
months. Food shortage has caus-
ed increase in tuberculosis. scab-

cupied France, says the French
Nazi newspaper "L'Oeuvre."
In Poland, Nazi Governor-Gener-
al has decreed that "the entire
village community will be respon-
sible for agricultural production
This is a move to obtain a secure
hold on the entire agriculture" Of
that distressed country, a Warsaw
radio announcement said.
Appropriations
The House has passed the first
appropriation bill of the new Con-
gress, carrying $g99,724,465 for
treasury and SS99116,495 for post
office appropriations during the
fiscal year 1914.
Retail Sales
Total retail sales in 1912 reached
the record total of $56,3S2,0 100000
which was an increase of four per
cent over 1941. Sales at retail in
1912 were 45 per cent higher than
in the 1935-1939 base period.
Trend of Food Prices
Prices of foods under OPA con-
troll since May rose 6 per cent
from December Is to January II

SERVICE DANCE MONDAY

The Service Mems Benefit will
hold dance at the Y on Monday
night, in addition to the regularly
scheduled dance on Saturday. For
several months past, new sched-
ules instituted in nearby camps
permit 4S-hour leave every eight
days for many Of the soldiers, a
majority of whom come to Hagers-
town. The dances are being ar
ranged for the service men and
will continue to be staged each
week providing the attendance war

Many Jobs are War Jobs


Many Jobs are War Jobs
Such essential civilian activities
as agriculture. food processing,
mining, textiles, transportation,
communications, heating, power
and educational services are war
jobs" says the War Manpower
Commission. People must be hous-
ed and fed and clothed in wartime
as well as in peace, and essential
civilian workers are on an equal
plane with workers in basic war in
dustries.
Dangerous to Transfer Food
Transferring food from CONNER
cial cans into glass jars is danger
Gus and may result in fatal food
poisoning. Housewives are warned
by the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture against the practice.
House Investigations
The Federal House Of Represen-
tatives has voted to continue the
Dies Committees investigation of
Un-American activities for another
year. The House also passed a
resolution creating a 7-man com
mittee to investigate Government
agencies and departments to de-
termine whether any action is be-
yond the authority granted by Con-
gress or Executive Order, or VIC
lates the constitutional rights of
citizens, or inflicts penalties for

Order" during which he delivered
his violent diatribe against farm
RECOMMENDATION, farm subsidies and
farm lobbies. His speech was
plenty germaine to agriculture,
though his amendment was held
not to be germaine to the subject
under discussion, namely the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act.
Baldwin apologized to the chair
man Of the Agricultural Committee
for not consulting him before his
sudden intrusion, and said that per-
haps his amendment was not ger
maine. By this time, Republican
ears were pricked up and Demo-
Gratis were calling points of order
and asking the gentleman to yield
In the congressional cloakrooms.
Maryland crOnies are wondering if

by his forthcoming ambition to sit
in the Governors chair in AnnapO-

can side of the House, however,
was that Baldwin had engineered
very smart piece Of grandstand-
ing. Most maiden speeches by
freshmen congressman are i'll
conceived brain-children, clumsily
delivered after weeks 70 laborious
preparation. Everyone gathers
for the event like so many internes
hunched up at a clinic to watch
with cynical eyes an OratOrical
performance as old as obstetrics
itself.
SMART PARLIAMENTARIAN
However, the New Congressional
freshman from Maryland delivered
his maiden speech without benefit
of rehearsal and with considerable
parliamentary acumen. He gained
the floor by tossing an amendment
into the debate on an Administra-
ton Bill calling for incentive pay
ments to encourage the production
Of certain farm products essential
to the war. Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wickard had conceived the
Bill in order to aid the tagging
food program which this week is
revealed to be much more serious
than the public, and apparently
Congressman Baldwin, realized.
Baldwin retained the floor for
ten minutes by calling for a

AS time went on, all these
things changed. New inventions
eliminated a lot of that hard
work and machines laid road sur
faces is less than half the time;
automobiles breezed over the
streets and highways and the
State took over the old turn
pixies and assumed responsible
ity. The towns also got awake
and began to take pride in their
thoroughfares.
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-02-26

History does not record the
condition of these roads, but it's
safe to assume that they were
kept in fairly good condition. Of
course, there were no road build
ing machines in those early days
and all the repair jobs were done
by swinging picks, waving SHOW
els, and just plain everyday
hard work.
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-02-26

Farmers, living near town, are
also watching their cattle closely.
Not so long ago calf ran out of
a barn and headed toward this
weIl-managed municipality, and
the farmer searched for his
property for three days. A night
worker in local war production
plant discovered the animal, half
starved, in big hole on North
Potomac street. A guy can't be
too careful in these days Of meat

In those days, Grandpap sport

He probably was one of the turn

roads were built and maintained
by private companies and

HagerstoWn streets, in their
present condition, serve USE
full purpose, however. A young
mother mentioned to me recently
that when her 3-months-oId off
spring is troubled with Cramps"
instead of using the old-fashioned
method of humping the brat on
the back to make him burp, she
simply takes him for a ride in
her car. The results are ex-
tremely satisfactory, she report

AS I've said before, history re-
peats itself, and if you don't think
so, take a gander at the streets
here in the old home town. A
few days ago a volunteer fire
man was thrown from a fire
truck when the machine struck
a hole in the street. The re-
markabIe thing about that is the
fact that the truck managed to
