To millions of Americans, Thanksgiving Day has al- been day of great feasng The feastng is usually accompanied by minor of dyspepsia and short walk around the block. Seriously, millions of Americans Thanksgiving Day in 1943 must much than this to you.
 You have stayed at home in the mountains where poplars the dark brown earth. Where waterfalls spill cool and black the hoowed rock. You still walking in the parks where dusk stretches in the shaggy trees and slips noseessy into the grass You have stayed the plains where maizecoored wheat is pale against the deep blue sky Where yellow piled high the bangboard of the huskers You have stayed in the quiet little town where when fas your house is safely buttoned up. Yes have stayed in the cities where the weddngcake architecture of sky-scrapers only gradually worn smooth by the dripping rains.
 The saor the soldier the marine they have all gone to Each of them planning to return. To return to the land they cherish to the land they left to defend Because they went away the mountains the pains the villages and the cities have not been bghted by the hor of Your villages their villages. Your mountains their mountains.
 There isn't time to celebrate in the good fashioned way. Right there isn't time to relax No holiday have full significance while single American boy dying the field of battle.
 Therefore in the Electric Boat along with millions of other Americans-let pledge ourselves for than a day of feasting Thanksgiving in 1943.
 We here in the mountains, the villages the cities and the plains Let work harder to bring back fighting to these places where they rghtfully belong.

Hitler To You

Hines to Ex-Paperhanger) Oh, MT. Schikelgruber, tell us What were your designs When you were paper-hanging? Were they geographical lines, Or were they birds and flowers And waterfalls and trees, Or lazy boats calm sailing
 On quiet summer seas? Oh, MT Schikelgruber,
 You thought you knew bit About designs and trimmings But your pieces didn't fit. You climbed high on your ladder, But the thing began to sway, And the border you were pressing Seemed to go the other way. Each measurement you jotted
 down,
 That looked so perfect then, You measured with a calendar, But later on - with MEN. You planned to move to Stalingrad With new designs in view; You thought to paste the Russians, But, instead, they're pasting you. Oh, MT. Schikelgruber,
 Ere your ladder starts to fall You should have paused a bit to
 read
 Handwriting on the wall.

Daddy, in short, has gone to war. Now you may have judged, from
 this rhyming gripe, That Mama's strictly the cynical
 type. Still, it's nice to know, in the mid
 night drear, When the mortgage stalks, and the
 taxes leer, And insurance premiums fill with
 dread The comfort small of my lonely
 bed, That out where the going's really
 tough, When the Axis boys get playing
 rough Each suffering, wounded, Ameri-
 can lad Is getting the best, from men like
 dad.

Dear EditGr:
 I am a decent, happy, young married man with a wonderful wife. I am a defense employee and work with hundreds of wom- en whom the men call she wolves" These girls are suppos- edly working for Uncle Sam's vi- tai war industry, but it looks to me as if their chief business is the pursuit of men. They ask men for dates, offer to pay the bills, and make men handsome presents. And whether a man is married or not does not make the slightest difference to them. These girls have no respect for marriage, or any of the conventions, or what we call the decencies of life. They don't wait for men to pursue them. They take the initiative
 Of course, there are many fine, good women working in defense plants, but there are so many of these "she-wolves" that I wonder what the world is coming to?

were the tree ferns. They had woody
trunks, and sometimes measured
scores of feet from the ground to
the top.
There were, of course, no people
around to measure the tree ferns
or anything else. People did not
live on earth during the age Of
ferns.
To find out the size, we must
depend on tree fossils which have
come down to us. These fossils
show us tree ferns and other kinds
Of trees as we'll.
One fossil tree trunk III feet
long was found in a coal mine in
England. The full height OF that
tree has been estimated at 1855 feet,
about the same as the height Of an
History building. 4r.s
Sometimes the age of ferns Is
called the "Carboniferous Age" It
was a period when vast beds Of coal
making plants were laid down.
The story Of coal is long one,
and we have little space for it to-
day. Let us simply note that leaves,
twigs and ferns are among the
things which were pressed down,
and after vast ages they were to
become coal. Coal contains carbon,
and that explains the "Carbonifer-
GUS" name.
In the age Of ferns, animals Of
various kinds were moving from
water to land. Such animals had
lungs, and could live by breathing
air. Their young, however, needed
water for life, since they breathed
through gills.
Frogs of the modern age are ami
mails like that. Their young are
called "tadpoles," and die if they
are kept out Of water very long.
Full-grown frogs, on the other hand,
are at home In the air. IL
Some animals Of that time were
far larger than frogs. In some
cases they were as large as mod
ern crocodiles and alligators.

In match point scoring q small
difference in actual points may
mean q big difference in match
points. At rubber bridge, when the
opponents reached six spades, South
would probably let them alone, be-
cause he could hope to save very
little by sacrificing at seven dia-
monds. But in match point dupli-
cate. that very little" might be
very important. Making six spades
would give the opponents $50 points
and probably the most South
could be set at seven diamonds
would be 90O-down five without
counting on partner for a single
trick.
But that was just the trouble.
South went down only four-700
points instead Of the 900 he had
flgured-because North did have a
trick, the heart king. Unfortu-
nately 1t was trick which also
would have come home against the
six-spade contract, and, added to
South's spade king, it would have
set the opponents in their slam.
Instead of being glad that he was
set a trick less than he had ex-
pected this poor South lost out be-
cause that one trick meant that
the oponents' slam bid would not
have brought them the $50 points
against which South's sacrifice had
been calculated.

though he was tossed into Pacific
waters while she was thousands
of miles away In a tube room
of the Firestone Tire g. Rubber
Company Of Akron, ohio
In one of the wars amazing

helped to make a Firestone life

BOWLING
SOF'TBALL

We are still not sure of the
softball situation. The locals are
reluctant to sponsor teams IN these
unsettled times, and in one case
where the local is willing to 60
ahead, it seems that not enough
players are interested to make the
effort worth while. At the present
time we have four teams ready to
20, however the Athletic Council
does not wish to have a league
unless at least six teams are avail
able. Every effort will be made
to get the other two necessary
teams, If not, a softban league
within the CLIO is doomed for the
duration. I'll tell you all about it
the next time.

The CLIO Bowling League is fin
ished, the final games having been
| played on the night of April q.
The JAW Local CAB team ran
away with the first-place honors,
holding a Is game lead at the
final check. Amalgamated Local
763 finished in second place, as
they led the Delco Local 755 boys
by the slender margin of a single
game.
Frigidaire Local 8O1 ended in the
cleanup spot, although towards
the finish these fellows were
showing some really good bowling.
F~rigidaire's troubles all came at
the beginning of the season when
they got away to a very bad start,
but in the middle of the season
the boys settled down. IF they
could have bowled as well at the
beginning as at the finish our
bowling league might have been
a different story.
The Local 76S team was hit by
the war more than any of the other
teams, with only two of the orig
inal six members being in on the
finish. In our next issue, we will
print the list of the leading prize
winners.
