strange, an almost overpowering

President of the United Automo-
bile Workers Union, and that of
Phillip Murray, President of the
CLIO, which was read by one of the
national officers because labor de-
velopments had kept Mr.. Murray in
Washington at the request of
President Roosevelt.
Another impressive moment
came when Congressman Will Rog-
ers, Jr., the son of the late great
actor-humorist, presented the
Spingarn Medal to Judge VIM. H.
HASTE, former Civilian Aide to the
Secretary of War for having rem
dered the most distinguished serv-
ice to his race during 1912.
THINK, ASIDE from the fact
that the delegates held the hope
that the conference will make a
much-needed contribution to ma
tional unity, Detroit was fortunate
that the conference convened here
at such time. On the day the
delegates arrived, $4,000 white
workers struck in the Packard
Plant, refusing to work beside Ne
gro workers who had been upgrad-
ed to skilled jobs. The work of
Walter White, r. j. Thomas and
white and Negro labor, civic and
church leaders, in Immediately un-
covering and publicly pointing out
by name the presence of Axis
agents using the racial issue to
stop or slow down work in the
heart of the arsenal of democ-
racy," thus preventing what might
have been serious racial disturb
ance, was distinct contribution
to Detroit and to the National War
Effort.

and to provide milk and graham
crackers for the lunch period was
raised at community party that was
enthusiastically supported.
The nursery school was conducted
in a small church school, the appear
ance of which was reminiscent of the
little red school house. The session
lasted for three weeks from 900 to
11:30 each day. Sixteen pupils were
enrolled with an average daily at
tendance of fourteen. The program
was set up as follows:
9:00-9:15, opening exercises; 9:15-
$50, health; 9:30-9:45, games; 9:45-
1000, nature study; 1000 1920, lunch,
rest, toilet; 10:20-10:35, music; 1885
11:OO literature; 11:OO-11:30, free per-
iod.
AS sample of the things taught
the following topics were covered
during the health period:
Cleanliness, exercise and fresh air,
illness, posture, milk, safety lesson,
sleep and rest, germs, teeth, the hair,
cheerfulness, food, table manners,
eyes, ears, nose, throat.
That the school was success was
shown by the enthusiastic responses
brought home by the children in the
way of health habits, stories and
songs. All of these pre-school chill
dren now eagerly anticipate the be-
ginning of actual school next year
in the first grade. The final meas
ure as to what this school contributed
to the development of these children
will be shown next year when COM
parison is made with those who die
not have the nursery school exper.

Value OF Nursery
School Recognized

The benefits and contributions
to child's welfare by nursery
school of the type sponsored at
Askov last summer by the Thurs
day Study club were brought
out in an article in the current
issue of the Minnesota Journal of
Education.
Written by Kenneth E. Ander-
son, superintendent of the Askov
schools, it also gives the daily
program and partial list of the
topics covered during the health
period. The article follows:
With curtailed budgets and the en-
phasis being largely placed on high
school courses related to the wal
effort, many schools and commun.
tiles have found and will find it nee.
essary to eliminate the nursery schoo
or kindergarten school as we have
known it. Many communities have
never had a nursery school. Askov i!
one of these communities. The Study
club of Askov composed largely O
mothers having children of pre-.
school age decided to do something
about it. Many of these mothers hae
been teachers or had had some teach
er training. These women got to-
gether and constructed a course o
study on a pre-school level. Thos'
mothers who had taught togethel
with those who had not volunteered t

stack and tamped it full of hay, took
it back to the house, took the front
two lids off the cook stove, placed
the hay burner upside down on the
stove and lit it. AS the hay burned
you would strike the side of the
burner and the hay would drop
down. A burner full of hay would
last two or three hours. There was
plenty of hay, dirt, SCOT and smoke
to contend with.
Buffalo Chips for Fuel.
Or did you go out to the hay stack
and twist hay into figure of eight
bales or twists and place them in the
stove as you would handle wood
nowadays? A,couple loads of hay
would last all winter. Or did you
ever burn buffalo chips, gather them
up by the wagon load and store them
in dry place for winter use. 1t
was fairly good fuel but did not have
very pleasant odor The chips were
especially valuable where other fuel
was scarce, with no timber for miles.
Yet, those were the real pioneer
days Now the cars, the trains and
the planes, and all the modern ma
chinery and equipment, makes life
much easier. The early settlers lives
were full of hardships but they blazed
the trail to modern progress.

News Of Connecticut

Stamford, Conn, July 13-UP)- Connecticut's meat supplies are in- sufficient to cover 50 per cent of the consumer rationing allotments, and the situation will be worse during the next two weeks, State Food Dis tribution Administrator Fitch L.. Brennan told meeting of slaught- erers last night.
 Brennan said the worst situation was at New London where supplies were at a vanishing point, and that at Hartford restaurants might be forced to close two days week, in- stead of one.
 T can't see any immediate re- lief" he said. "It will imorpve sometime, but can't predict when" Brennan said he was endeavoring to have Connecticut placed in the war emergency class in order to ob- tain higher allocation of meat.
 Hartford, Conn.,, July 13-UP) The banana distributors of Con- necticut, Inc, was forbidden by federal restraining order today to make sales to retailers dependent upon the purchase of other com modities.
 The order was issued by U. s. District Court Judge J. Joseph Smith on complaint of the OPA, which called the action the first step 'in a campaign to wipe out a dangerous price -gouging practice"
 The company was the first fruit distributor in the state to be en- joined from maintaining so-called tying agreements which virtually compelled retailers to take com modities they didn't need in order to obtain essentials.
 Stonington, Conn.,, July 13.-tUP) -Sixty-one boats of the Eastern Fishremen's Association were tied up at their Wharves at Stonington, Mystic and Block Island today in protest of the four cents pound ceiling price which the OPA puts into effect today.
 Capt. John Smith, president of the association, said Fishermen couldn't make profit under this ceiling. He said Stonington normal ly sent 200 tons of fish daily to New York, principally founders and had dock.
 Smith said he intended going to Washington to protest the ceiling but returned when New York whole salers told him the OPA's attitude was they didn't need any help from the fishermen and were perfectly capable of setting prices them selves"
 Smith said the fleet would remain idle until the OPA adjusted the prices to give the fishermen de cent" profit.
 Hartford, Conn.,, Juyl 13.-(UP) Gov. Baldwin said today he planned to attend the meeting of the eastern division of the Repub- lican Post-War Policy Association in New York next Monday, along with other state Republican lead CTS.
