Worker Invents
SSH Drill Tool

Ira Green. employe of the Pom
tiac Motor division of General
Motors, tinkered at home for
months trying to beat a problem
Finally he made a suggestion that
a small hand-powered drill be used
in an operation which had often
resulted in broken tools and re-
jected parts.
Green then presented his own
invention, tool which is bound
with emery cloth and placed in
the drill, Cleaning holes in this
particular part once required the
fun time of one man on each shift.
Now, however, all the work is
done by a single man on the day
shift. Reflections are down. too.
And War Worker Green is richer
by $751;.

As a result Of this training they
are now welded together into an

War Production News
Nelson Asks
Brief Vacation
To War Workers

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UP)
War Production Board Chair
man Donald NJ Nelson today had
recommended the granting Of
10 industrial workers
this year but suggested that they
be briefer than usual.
He said experience has shown
that production is increased if the
workers can restore their ener-
gies through periods of physical
and mental rest, change and re-
taxation. -
Nelson emphasized that there
must be no shutdown OF any de-
partment of a war plant because
of the vacation schedule II the
shutdown would curtall production.
Wartime vacations must he
planned so as To avoid interrupt
ton OF working schedules, he
said. Management and labor
can and should plan the release
OF workers for vacations by
working ahead I'm some depart
ments, by arranging for stag
gered vacation schedules, by
training substitutes and, where
necessary, by working additional
overtime -.
THE wartime vacation will
probably be briefer than usual;
1t should involve little or no
travel. and where possible it
should be used for the perform
ance of such duties as otherwise
would require the worker to
take time off during a regular
work week. But even under such
limitations the vacation can
help war production by enabling
the worker to return to his Job
with renewed streng and
energy"

even went out of hss way to block their matches. Small clubs, the in- cubators of boxing, go out with the big ones.
 Managers have outsmarted them- selves, too. Handlers of preliminary boys have in later years demanded what famous fighters once were paid.
 That is another reason why the flood of talent will be welcome fol. lowing the war. Youngsters eager to make names for themselves won't bubble about terms and one pro- n1oter will not be able to accom-. modate all of them.
 ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES
 A tip for the USO. Give the boys boxing equipment and less show business and dancing. Give them the equipment and they'll entertain themselves.
 Pay boys who box for the enter. tainment of thousands, as the Knights of Columbus did in France and Germany during and after World War I. We gave them 200 francs for four rounds, as many as 800 for 10.
 Because we gave the men the real thing, we played to tremendous crowds outdoors. packed IS and 20,. 900 into hangars and packed halls in Occupied Germany.
 The Germans, who knew nothing of boxing then, would stand in the background, and say: Look at them: The war is over and they're still fighting"
 There were lifting weights in every German beer garden, and our kids would stand around there, and re- mark: Look at those crazy Heinies breaking their backs"

The Chicago Blackhawks meet the Redwings at Detroit and the New York Rangers battle the Cana diens at Montreal Thursday night in two National Hockey league games that will decide the last qual- ifier for the Stanley cup playoffs.
 Chicago. seeking it's first win on Detroit ice in three years, needs a victory to take the fourth playon spot. Detroit. Boston and Toronto have qualified already.
 The Blackhawks hold e one point advantage over the Cana dians. Should the Blackhawks either lose or tie, Montreal could take the playon berth with a win ocver the Rangers. In event of a Montreal win and Chicago tie, the Canadiens would get the berth be- cause they have won more games.
 Should both teams lose. the Blackhawks would slip in. But in event of a Canadien tie and a Chi- cago loss, Montreal would be awarded the berth. again because 1t won the most games.

 But when Pete Bohler can't re- member a particular fact. he hunts through one of the most complete sets of record books ever assembled until he bobs up with the answer.

 "On Sept. i3. 1883, pitching for Cleveland in the National League Daley defeated Philadelphia, leo, without allowing a hit. Frank Ban- croft was the Cleveland manager.
 "On July ., 1884, with Chicago Of the Union Association, a major league, Daley struck out l0 Boston players in nine innings to equal the record of Charley Sweeney of Provi- dence, who set the pace a month earlier.
