Industry And Education

Almost daily comes the news of the
far-reaching effect that American indus
try has on other phases of national life.
Typical is the news that some seventy
faculty members of midwestern high
schools have begun an eight-week training
course at the Apprentice Training School
of large Detroit war plant All of these
educators are working for Masters or Doc
tors degrees at nearby universities and
they will receive full college credit for
their work at the training school,
Their course at the plant will include
forty hours week of actual machine-shop
work, and daily conferences on various
phases of industrial management and op-
Grafton, including problems of personnel,
social service, employment, labor relations,
and others. .-,..;
These educators are the ones who will
train the nations youth, far larger per-
centage of whom are going into industrial
work than ever before 1t is an excellent
idea that these so-called jewellers of the
ivory tower" meet with industry, and un-
derstand it's problems so that industry's fu-
ture recruits may be better prepared for
their work.

Starting Point OF
RecOnversiOn

On the day the war ends the time for
shakespeare postwar planning will have
run out. The time for action will have ar
rived. The responsibility of maintaining
employment and stability will fall on the
shoulders of hundreds Of industries, and
literally millions of individual enterprises
Between the American people and the
glittering new world that has been dangled
before their eyes, stand a lot of tough
problems to be solved by the ingenuity of
practical business men. Before any of the
products of industry, for example, can ac-
tually reach the public, they must first be
bought and distributed throughout the
land by thousands of retail merchants
Until the retailers place the orders, goods
cannot be produced. Upon the ability of
the distribution industry to foresee and
meet consumer demands, rests at least par
TALLY the fate of immediate postwar plan
ming.
Godfrey M. Lebhar, editor of Chain
Store Age, observes that only by keeping
the wheels of production turning on a
NoPoSAIJ OooAo NoAA J1A4C1C NC 411oA11-
tanned and economic unsettlement averted
He emphasizes that "The chains and other
large scale distributors can make most
valuable contribution to the nationwide
postwar planning effort by the relatively
simple course of placing orders now for
postwar delivery The placing of SUBJ
stantial orders now will give manufacture
ers firmer basis for their postwar plan
ming"
The dangers of forcing retailers to op-
crate subject to regulations that threaten
their existence, are becoming increasingly
evident Every retailer in this country
will be directly needed to help reestablish
normal civilian life after the war. Mass
production will be the starting point of
reconversion. If this fact is ever forgotten,
dreams of great production will remain
just that-dreams.

Fire Prevention

In these days when wholesale destruc-
ton is the keynote of human existence, it
is refreshing to be reminded that at least
one field of endeavor is dedicated to pre-
serving instead of destroying life and prop
erty That field is fire insurance. Hun
dreds of capital stock fire insurance COM
panies have for many years carried on eff
fective, far reaching fire prevention meas
ures
There is no way of accurately re-
cording the billions of dollars of property
and countless thousands of lives saved by
their efforts. That they have been ire
mendous is evident from the steady decline
in the cost of fire insurance.

Women Wanted

MANY women find it difficult to think
they are playing an important role in the
war if they accept job as waitress, or
telephone operator or a clerk in store
There has been so much to do made over
lady riveters, welders and machine opera
tors that doing normal type of job seems
almost unpatriotic.
We suppose there is sort of patriotic
glamor for woman in putting on pair
of overalls and having hand in the max
ing of bomber or a gun, but our country
would practically stop running ii women
insisted on doing that type of work to the
exclusion of other business.
The campaign now being carried on to
persuade women who are not working to
'get war job" doesn't stress production
of war materials because the officials of
that group realize the need for women in
all other types of work if our distribution
and our civilian businesses are going to be
continued.
To judge the importance of a war job,
a woman should ask herself if the work is
essential. But she should be sure to in
clude as essential all of the countless jobs
which serve an important civilian need

DIR. G.. P. COWARD
WRITES FROM PRISON

Continued from Page One)
Japanese invaded the Philippine
islands, the date of the card was
not given.
The last letter received from
DR.. Coward by his wife was dat
ed February Is, 1912. All efforts
to get mail to him have failed, as
many as "a letters have been re-
turned at one time.
When DR.. Coward was taken
prisoner, he held the rank of It.
Colonel, and had been in the
Philippine islands since the lat
ter part of December, 1941. He
was sent there with a regiment of
the National Guard from New
Mexico, with which he had been
attached for several years, being
one of the senior officers. This
group was a part of the 200th
Coast Artillery.
People OF AShe county and all
loyal Americans should honor
and commend DR.. Coward for his
loyalty and the friendship to his
men and to his country, as he
was given the choice to stay at
home with his family and friends
or 60 with his comrades on this
desperate mission. He said, II
will go; I shall not fail my men,"
DR.. Coward, who is a native of
Ashe county, has many friends
and relatives in the county who
will be interested in hearing from
him.
"Dr. edwards heroic action
should be an added inspiration to
buy more war bonds and help to
end this war and to free our pris-
oners," a member of the bond
committee, declared.

More Doctors In Uniform

Representatives of the medical profess
sion in conference with military authori-
ties, have announced that 5000 more doc
tors are needed in the immediate future to
serve the armed forces. The American
Medical Journal in explanation of the de-
mand for more doctors, says: GAS the war
continues and intensifies, new needs for
the services of the medical profession be-
come apparent. An army in motion and
one engaged in the kind of aggressive COM
bat that now concerns our armed forces
needs physicians in even greater numbers
than have heretofore been demanded
Many thousands of informed aliens and
prisoners are now the burden of the United
States and must be given medical care"
1t is up to civilians more than ever be-
fore to cooperate with the remaining med
ical men to the end that everyone will re-
ceive the best that can be given to them
under the circumstances. If this co-opera-
ton is given there need be little hardship
Remember, if you want to consult your
doctor-first do it by telephone, and fol-
low his advice to the letter:

Shakespeare Regulation

Several years ago Senator McCarran, of
Nevada, said of the rapidly growing avia-
ton industry: II believe, if not now, very
shortly, in. this science and in this industry
we will come to point where we must
forget state lines"
He was referring principally to the op-
Grafton of commercial airlines. He was one
of the first to realize the potential diff
culties of local regulation over this form
of carrier. Modern air transportation cross
es entire states in a matter of minutes If
each state sought to invoke its own rules
for airline operation, the result would be
chaos
A bill is now being drawn in the
House of Representatives which incorpor-
ates points for which the Senator has been
working for years: first, the restoration of
complete independence for the admins

PRIEST LECTURES
ON CHURCH, LABOR
History of Movement De-
scribed By Father Dom
nelly Before Women

"The Church ana Labor" has the
subject of a talk given yesterday
afternoon by Rev. Joseph F. Dom
nelly. assistant at st. Thomas
church. and Diocesan Director OF
Labor Schools, at the monthly open
meeting of the Waterbury Councll
of Catholic Women. Mrs. Frank
Kenney, council progra mchairman'
introduced Miss Mary Hennessy'
chairman of Industrial Relations
committee of the council who took
charge OF yesterdays program ana
who spoke briefly on labor problems
and then presented Father Donnelly.
Father Donnelly explained why
the church "butted in, as he called
1t, and why 1t was SO vitality inter-
ested in the question OF labor. The
idea, he said, that morality and
business should be separted was err
roneous. He outlined abuses OF
capitalism; but also denounced
racketeering in labor. He traced
briefly the history Of labor move
ment down through history, men
tioning the flourishing Guild organ
izations Of the middle ages, which
followed by period Of horrible
conditions for the laboring classes
The encyclical on labor OF Pope
Leo XII was one of the first great
documents outlining the rights OF
the laboring man, he explained,
brought up to date by the subsequent
encyclical, reconstruction o fthe
Social Order Of Plus XI. Labor
builds on huge foundation, he said,
concluding his talk with remarks OIL
the present crisis through which we
are passing.
A brief talk was given by Mrs.
John Gilmartin, chairman for civil
ian defense, on the need OF leaders
for Girl Scout activities. She brlet-
ly outlined the history Of the scouts
and their important work and asked
through the council for leaders, Miss
Agnes Fitzpatrick, chairman OF the
council, presided at the meeting.
Rev. Eugene P. Cryne represented
the Diocesan Bureau.
At q meeting fthe executive
board preceding the open, meeting
1t was voted to introduce a calen-
dar Of Catholic activities which
would be located at the Diocesan Blu
reau, Sc Church street, Miss Mar
garet Fraugeau Of the Franciscan
Mission Club, to be chairman Tor
this service. The idea would be to
contact Catholic groups who would
In turn list their events at the Blu
reau to avoid interference In dates.
1t was voted to pledge sum 10
the Red Cross War Fund Drive. An
nouncement was made OF scholar
ship examinations In June for social
service courses, these to be held IN

Sunday afternoon, May 2, was the
date chosen for the inauguration OF
