NAM Against
Labor Draft

NEW YORK (FP)-The Ma
tional Association of Manufactur-
ers is opposed to the enactment of
any legislation providing for the
drafting of labor.
The NAM board of directors
went on record April 4 in opposi-
ton to such measures and urged,
instead, an immediate congress
sional investigation to obtain the
true facts of the manpower short
age problem.
"There is a critical need of fac
tual information about the extent
to which,. and the areas in which
labor shortages are said to exist,
both for immediate and estimated
war production schedules" the
board asserted. "The bewildering
variety of figures and estimates
now available are confusing and
contradictory"
Another board manpower rec
ommendation declared that the
size of the nations military forces
should be determined by military
and that induction into
the army be scaled to coincide with
the ability to equip and maintain
the armed forces.

The week of April II to 16 will

In his proclamation, the fifth
calling for an annual observance
of Conservation Month he has
signed, Governor Bricker praised
the conservation education pro-
gram which is being jointly carried
on by the Ohio Division of Conser-
walton and the State Department
of Education. He urged all citizens
in every line of endeavor to "fol-
low such conservation practices as
will aid in winning an early VIC
tory and to wisely use our re-
sources that they may serve us
in the reconstruction period which
will follow"
Special programs are planned
through the week of April II to 16,
State Director of Education Ken

Commissioner Don Waters reported
that requests were coming to his
office for speakers and motion pic
lures in great numbers but that

EWiIlys Headpin Tournament Opens Toniqhi
Navy Seeks
I7-Yeor-OIds

Among the many things which
seem strange to new recruits in
the Navy, says Harold e. Milliken,
officer in charge of the Toledo re-
cruiting area, is the tradition of
singing while they march and drill.
Most young men think when they
come into the Navy that they will
soon be tough fighting men. When
they learn how much of this sing
ing business there is during their
training period, they can't quite
figure it out.
However, adds Lieutenant Milli-
ken, the wonder doesn't last long.
Any recruit who has spent a few
hours drilling to the tune Of "Here
Comes the Navy" or Anchors
Aweigh" is soon convinced that
singing is more than worth the
effort.
Welcomes 17.Year-Olds
But whether they ca nsing or
not, says Lieutenant Milliken, the
Navy still welcomes young men of
II as volunteers. These young fell
lows take to the life of the Navy
easily and quickly. Navy Trade
Schools hold forth opportunities
for invaluable training for those
who can qualify during the "boot"
indoctrination period. Likewise,
Navy pay keeps on going up in
proportion to ability. It's great
chance for young Americans to
join the greatest Navy in the his
tory of the world!
Free physical examinations are
given to all 17-year-old men who
are interested in enlisting. The
Navy Recruiting Office, at 715
Adams Street, is open each day
from s a. m. till p. m.

rangements for allocating garden
space to Local IL members who

To Arrange Flowing
Efforts are being made to have

contact him at his office Gil Huron
St., or call him at Adams 1892.
Space will be allotted on a first
come first served basis and will be
based upon the size of the families
of those who apply for the space.
Mr.. Lazette, discussing the Vic
tory Gardens, said, "This year, all
who can do so should cooperate
with the government by planting
their own gardens. This will serve
war effort, by permitting farmers
the two-fold purpose of aiding the

other important and staple foods
and at the same time increase the
amount of food available for the
Melvin Schultz, Local II presi-

Father Doyle of the Catholic Chari-
ties for the use of the land and
said, II hope that if any of the
gardeners have some surplus they
