AS a matter of fact, Mrs. Colbjornsen

Before the war came to Norway, Mrs.
Colbjornaen volunteered to train as
veterinarian for the cavalry horses.
But the war came so quick. There
were seven of us girls alone in fortress
with 40 horses. We had to clean the
horses and the stables
Then, one day in Oslo, her husband
told her he would be gone for day Or
two. He had orders from the King.
She was still in the railroad STATEN

Nazi bombers came, flying low over the
station while I'VE just stood there
After days of waiting, she thought she
might meet her husband in the coun-
try. It WIS while travelling into the
country by bus that she was afraid for
the first and only time. The bus was
caught between Norwegian and German
troops and the passengers had to flee into
the woods.
Actually. she didn't see her husband
for IA months. Some kind person" as
she puts 1t. told the Nazis that her
husband had helped spirit the gold out
OF Norway. His wife certainly shouldn't
be allowed to leave the country.

"Buenos diah, amigo, como esia?" and
similar salutations in Spanish and Portu-
guese are now common on the campus
of the University of Maryland. This
famous institution, for some months now,
has been a clearing house for visiting
"Latinos" and the center of one Of our
most interesting and practical demon
strations of the good-neighbor spirit.
We refer to the inter- American trade
scholarship program, an activity of the
Office of Inter-American Affairs, which
is concerned with the bringing to the
United States Of promising young men
from the other American republics and
in seeing that they receive, while here
an intensive course of industrial, busi-
ness or technical training in the banks,
mills, shops, factories or on the farms of
the United States.
We all know that in order to indus
trialize the other American republics we
must help them to obtain machines But
We are prone to overlook the fact that
these countries must have trained men,
as well, to run the machines" said Elliot
Hanson, the director of the program.
How the Plan Works.
This program is not, primarily, a
white collar proposition" he said, nor
one confined to the halls of learning or
concerned chiefly with degrees or di-
plomas.
When we find a likely young man in
Mexico or Chile or Brazil who wants to
build engines, make cheese or fix tele-
phones, we bring him to the United
States and give him, here in Washing
ton, brief, siX-Week orientation course
to break him into our language-he is
required to know some English in ad-
vance-customs and business methods,
and then send him out to a shop or fac
tory or business where he spends from
one to two years working alongside other
young Americans who are doing the same
thing.
During this time he receives an al
lowance to cover his living expenses,
which he must earn. He is moved about
from department to department. His
work is closely supervised by the man.

largely on his ability to adjust himself
and his desire to learn.
I'VE are glad to say that the results,
at the end of the first year of this train
ing program. have been extremely grati-

Nearly one hundred training scholar
ships have been granted thus far and the
young men who received them are now
in various stages of their training.

Mighty gridmen from the SOU

Although the first quarter was

play of this quarter, when SOU had
been pushed far back into it's own

L. during the game. Turner, speedy

The Postmen settled down and
went at it again, however, with the
beginning of the second period, made
three consecutive first downs, and
on the second play in the fourth
series of downs sent Moore over

down of the game and of the series.
The try-for-p point was successful

No More Scoring
The second half produced no fur

Turner's booming kicks, followed by
excellent covering and tackling, set
the Hellcats back on their heels

Turner and Moore starred for

"Why not?"
"Why not! The New Deal is bad
enough for US hardy Americans.
Imagine what it would do to the
rest of the world softened by war.
What we need is return to old

II don't get it, Pop. With things
in North Africa fixed up like you
and Mrs. Luce want them, why are
you worrying?"
Don't you see, Luther? This
fellow Wallace keeps talking about
world unity. AS Mrs. Luce says, we
don't know what is in Stalin's
mind"
"Then why don't we sign a 20
year treaty with him like the Brit

"Now, Luther, / have nothing

fight of the Russian people but /
don't want to sign treaties with
them"
But if you don't sign something,
then you don't bind them to any
thing, do you, Pop?"

medical care, labor, management
and other community interests are
attacking the problem separately.
Old barriers keeping labor, man
agement and medicine from dis
cussing health care for workers
must be torn down-at least for
the duration.
There has been so much mud
ding in the handling of medical
manpower that nationwide shor-
tage of physicians in industry and
civilian life is threatened. In many
sections this shortage already
exists.
was particularly shocked by
conditions in Mobile, Baltimore,
Las Vegas and Bremerton, where
the number of doctors is decreas-
ing while the number of workers
increases. In Mobile there are in
adequate industrial medical facili-
ties, while Bremerton lacks hos
pitals.
ANAGEMENT MUST SHARE
1t is important to remember
that not only industrial medical
problems are at issue. Response
bility for workers health and
safety outside the shop must be
shared by management. A man
does not check his heart, liver,
lungs and eyes at the factory
gates. He uses them outside even
more than he does inside. 1t is
both foolish and wasteful to have
duplicate medical plans.
The best way for labor and
management to cooperate on health
problems is through labor-man-
agement committees like those
used for production problems. Such
committees can bring health and
medical questions to the surface
and iron them out.
There are examples of construc-
tive medical cooperation between
labor and management. One is
the Government Printing Office
in Washington, the largest print
ing plant in the world. There are
a number of AFL unions at the
GPO. Each division picks health |
representative. These, in turn, |
create a health committee. The
health committee, with the plant |
physicians, determines policies and
interprets procedures to the work
ers.
Some things have been accom-
plished. In California, the Fed

eral Public Housing Authority and
the California Physicians Service
arranged a plan of health centers
in housing projects for defense
workers. Payments to the plan
are collected with each months
rent.
UAW HAS MEDICAL SERVICE
Unfortunately, management is
not yet completely in the picture.
All sections of the community
must pull together on the health
front, because the whole COM
munity is at war. The health Of
any section should be of vital con-
cern to all other sections.
In Detroit, the United Auto
Workers (CIO) set up its own
Institute of Industrial Medical Re-
search. This diagnostic center
examines workers who feel that
they may be suffering injury be-
cause of occupational hazards. If
examination proves them right, the
union then takes up the question
of prevention with the manage
ment.
Equally important is the Buff
falo District Committee for Indus
trial Health. Labor, management
medicine and welfare agencies are
represented. It's purpose is to solve
the problems through consulta-
tions among labor, management,
the medical profession and the
Division of Industrial Hygiene Of
the New York State Dept. of
Labor.
Other factors will become iD/
creasingly important. Man
branches of the government are
taking an active interest in labor's
health and medical problems. AS it
is more generally realized that the
key to winning the war lies with
the home front soldiers-the men
and women producing both war
and civilian goods-no doubt this
interest will be strengthened.
There is another important rea-
son for labor to increase its in
terest in health and medical care
problems now. In any American
Beveridge plan, provision for
health and medical care will oc-
cupy an important place. Good
medical care will no longer be a
luxury. Medicine will be made
democratic, but only if labor works
to make it so.

Public Confidence
In Labor
Increasing
Poll Shows Marked
Change
BY Federated Press

DENVER (FP)-Despite the re-
Gently n tensifie d propaganda
drive against labor, public con-
fidence in U. S. workers is in
creasing, according to series of
nationwide surveys made by the
Natl. Opinion Research Center,
University of Denver.
Sixty-nine out of every 100 per-
sons interviewed in the latest sur
vey feel that factory workers are
doing their utmost to help win the
war. When opinion was first poll
ed on this question by the research
center last March, 81 out of every
100 held a similar opinion.
Public Certain of Workers
The public's mind, the center
says, is more crystallized regard
ing the war effort of the workers
than regarding that of their lead
ers in the unions. Only $50 are
without definite opinions on the
workers, but more than three times
as many (179o) are unable or un-
willing to express an opinion about
the leaders.
Leaders Popularity Growing
The poll also shows that conf
dence in labor leaders is increas-
ing although the propaganda
against them has been even more
intense than that against organ
ICED labor as a whole.
The exact wording of the ques-
tions and figures on the 10-month
trend follows:
"Do you feel that as a whole
the workers in the factories are
doing all they could do right now
to help win the war? How about
the labor leaders?"
