surplus of American labor avail
able for farm work in this area.
Sixty Italians from the internment
camp at Sardis, Mississippi, have been
employed for the past week on the
plantation of Il. ]. Mullens Jr. near
Clarksdale chopping cotton.
We have reliable information that
ployed workers in the town of Clarks-
dale at wages of $500 per 14-hour
day when other planters were offer
ing $3.50 to $500 for 10 hours work.
Naturally these workers refused to
accept employment at less than the
prevailing wage. Mr.. Mullens then
made application for use of war pris-
oners and is paying the government
soc per day plus Csc per day for their
board or a total of $1.45.
1t is our understanding that other
delta plantation owners plan to re-
quest the government to permit pris-
oners of war to be used to pick the
1943 crop.
1t should be understood that our
organization has no objection to the
use of prisoners of war ON farms pro-
vided there is an acute shortage of
labor for harvesting perishable food
crops and that our government re-
ceives pay for such labor equal to the
prevailing rates being paid Americans.
We trust that you will see to it that
in the future prisoners of war are not
used anywhere in the United States
to beat down wages and other condi-
tons of employment of American
farm workers.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) H. l.. MITCHELL,
General Secretary.

Women Are Expert
At Many Farm Jobs:
100000 Needed

cation period, or full-time to helping
on farm anyone who can aid

Gus about working hard to help win
the war on the home front I. is ur-

About 100000 women are expected

10000 women will be enrolled in the
Women's Land Army, helping out on

| 8 Million Workers Gone
Since the start of the national de-
Tense program in 1910 nearly million
persons of working age have left agri-
culture. A critical shortage of farm
workers threatens crop production
when farmers have been asked to
grow the biggest food supply in his
tory Farmers need every part-time
or full-time worker they can get
There are many farm jobs which
city and town women. can do and do
WELL with very little training. In the
home vegetable garden, inexperienced
workers can soon learn to prepare
soil, plant seed and do necessary
wedding and hoeing. When vegeta-
bles are ripe, there is picking, pack
ing, and sometimes grading to be
done.
Poultry Farm Jobs
On poultry farms there are many
routine chores which are easily
learned and performed-feed and
watering the birds, gathering, can
ding, Grating, and grading eggs. Egg
records must be kept, the incubator
and brooder looked after, and chick
ems prepared for market-all these
jobs can be done by women and girls
In the orchard and vineyard women
can drive the spray truck, help in
pruning trees, pick and grade fruit,
pack it in boxes or barrels, and truck
it to market. In the fields women
become expert at handling such ma
chinery as harrows, disks, fertilizer
spreaders, moving machines, rakes,
or hay leaders.
Need Housekeepers Too
Women who are keeping house now |
can be of invaluable service in the |
farm home. Volunteers for work in |
farm homes can do much for the |
war program by releasing an expert |
enced farm woman for work in the |
field This is familiar work-taking
care of children, cooking meals, clean
ing the house, canning and drying sur
plus fruits and vegetables, marketing,
doing necessary sewing, or keeping
farm and home records.
Women have many assets as farm
workers. They are accurate--a good
trait for recording, weighing, grading,
and Gambling eggs. They work with
1exterity and speed which makes
them useful for grading, cleaning,
packing, and tying produce And
women have patience, the patience
necessary in doing routine farm jobs
such as wedding gardens, gathering
eggs, milking.
Those women who enter farm work
will find that scientific agriculture

Thank Your Lucky Stars" is
quite an entertaining thing in its
freakish way. 1t is full of whimsy-
whamsy and surprise. 1t can't, how
ever, get away from an overall con-
viction that it should be q better
picture with all that talent around.
All such pictures, of course, do Gre
ate that feeling, but they also have q
habit of creating big profits, which
is what really counts.
Warmers tongue-in cheek revue or
musical is not limited, indeed, to
the studios star and player roster.
1t reaches out to absorb no less a
pair of performers than Eddie Cam
tor and Dinah Shore. They not
only impersonate a couple of people
named Eddie Cantor and Dinah
Shore, but also provide the basic
story of the picture.
just what that basic story is, no
man in his sober mind would un-
dertake to say. 1t seems to deal
with gigantic charity production,
one of those things involving as
many big names as a Presidents
birthday celebration. Before the
last of them climbs aboard the little
story, 1t Is moving in the vague,
jerky way of an overloaded bus

ment of the story centers In the

but 1t is that kind of thing. Once

That Is not quite so true of the

ably, 1t was very funny idea, but
1t does not come off that way. Nor
does Bogart's brief interlude as

Salad Not Love

They were filming a scene in
Destination Tokyo" where Cary
Grant, home after months aboard
an American submarine, was asked
by friend what he most preferred:
a gay evening with lots of pretty
girls? And Grant was supposed to
enthusiastically reply: "Sure!"
just for fun, the director asked
the handsome actor off stage what
really would be his preference,
girls?

heart-throbber. I'D want the big

the best of the lot Is that of Miss
Ann Sheridan. Proving that she
still is a girl who can wear white
with oomph, she also brings prop
erly sophisticated quality to a song
about love. 1t requires much less
effort to be impressed by her song
than by Flynn's, a number which
he undertakes to make more of a
burlesque of his normal knightly self
by wearing a walrus moustache and
a derby.
Aiding Cantor in carrying the
mite of a story from star to star
is the brightest of the studios
juniors, Joan Leslie. She is one of
the distinct assets of the picture,
singing, dancing and clowning along
with Dennis Morgan in what Is de-
signed to be the romantic thread
OF Thank Your Lucky Stars" With
Mr.. c., E. E. Norton and S. z. Sa-
kali, they achieve some rea9bnably
merry moments.
The straight role, about the only
one in the picture, is carried by
Miss Shore, who pops up every now
and then to sing handsomely pro-
duced number, in no case one likely
to reach the hit parade for any
reason other than her introduction
of it.
1t is always that way with the
quality Of these pictures which are
simply quantity produced affairs.
