WOMEN
OF the 1S million women who will
be working by the end Of the year,
fully twO-thirds will be needed in
civilian trades and services, according
to the Women's Advisory Committee of
the War Manpower Commission.
Miss Margaret Hickey, chairman Of
this Advisory Committee made the
statement that "war work is more
than work in factory. 1t includes
hundreds of uneXciting jobs in stores,
restaurants, laundries, offices, schools,
hospitals, public Institutions transpor-
tatiOn, communications public utilities
and other necessary community services.
The day to day needs of war workers
and their families must be met The
nation looks to its women to do the
job. This is war work of the utmost
Importance, no matter how ordinary
or humble it may seem"
Women who fill these jobs will re-
lease men for the armed forces and
experienced women workers for more
skilled jobs. These women help keep
war production going by helping the
women who work in aircraft plants,
shipyards or munitions factories to
keep on their jobs.
So no matter how unglamorous or
uneXciting your job may be today, you
are doing your part by releasing a
more capable person1 for more vital
job. - u
the country are concerned over condi-
tiOns affecting the health of teen-age
bays and girls" said katherine f.
LenrOOt, Chief of the Childrens
Bureau of the L. s. Dept. of Labor.
"A large proportion Of boys and girls
between the ages of IA and Is are try
ing to combine school and work. When
such activities do not OvertaX the
youngsters strength, they may serve a
real purpose. But, thousands of boys
and girls under Is are being permitted
to work excessive hours, often late at
night, and at the expense of success
in their school work."
Miss LenrOot called upon the people
in every community to renew their eff
forts to promote the health of children
in wartime in order that their safety,
health and normal growth may be
fully assured She asked for concerted
action on the part of health authori-
ties, schools and employers to plan
suitable part-time work and to see
that the combined hours of school and
work are not excessive.

Muchinists Win In
Bottle For Rights
Had To Resort To Strike
To Force Recognition Of
Unions Jurisdiction

The international Association of
Machinists won a major triumph this
week in it's battle to maintain it's juris-
dictiOnal rights against encroachment
by rival organizations.
The victory was scored over the
Amalgamated Street Car Mems union
in dispute involving mechanics in the
shops of the Motor Transit Company,
operating the bus transportation sys-
TEN of jacksonville, Fla.
Despite AFL decisions granting the
I. A. of NJ. jurisdiction over the me-
chanics, the Anna lgamated had insisted
on representing the shop workers and
until recently had them blanketed
under it's agreement with the company.
When this agreement was about to
pany they did not want to be included
They protested that the Amalga-
nIateds wage scale was far below
|. A. of NJ. standards for their type of
work
Despite this protest, the manage
ment signed renewal, and the men
struck. That brought the issue to q
head, and Amalgamated representa-
tiyes agreed to delete from their agree
ment any reference to the mechanics
This week the company followed up
by entering into negotiations with the
Machinists' local for a separate con
tract

ceived. If we develop industry on the
right lines, now we shall find we
have favourable body of opinion To
work up, to assist in changing social
habits and industrial conditions.
Economic Aspect OF Problem
There is no reason whatever, the
Minister went on, why work should be
unpleasant except perhaps where
there are certain processes that throw
off fumes or where greasy, smelly sub
stances have to be handled. Apart from
such conditions, there is no reason why
the whole industrial environment can
not be such that people do not regard
it as anything but a drudgery and
hardship to 60 to work.
There is an economic aspect Of this
problem, too. The national cost of sick
ness and ill-health is emphasized in
report which the Labour Party just
published, dealing with the organiza-
ton of national health service as Il
feature Of postwar reconstruction
policy.
On the treatment of the sick. before
the war, Britain spent about e140,0OO,-
600; about s32 100000 was spent in
cash benefits under the social insur-
ance schemes for sickness and dis
ablement; and the ecOnOmiS loss re-
Sulting from absence from work GER
tainly represents another t120,OOO,OOO.
In addition about fS.OOO.OOO was spent
on certain preventive medical services,
such as the School Medical Service
and the Maternity Service Here is Il
computed cost of over f3OO,O0O,OOO Il
year for sickness and preventive treat
ment alone.
Labour proposes a complete health
service, planned as whole so that
there shall be no gaps in it,
Every Variety OF Treatment
1t must be equipped for preventive
and curative work, and provide every
variety of treatment required for the
cure of disease, the treatment of acci-
dents, care of the sick, relief of suffer-
ing, rehabilitation Of the convalescent,
maternity and infant care, medical
service for children. health visitation,
and facilities for obtaining surgical
appliances, dentures, spectacles, arti-
fetal limbs and so on.
At present the local authorities are
not in d position completely TO COM

will govern the policy Of voluntary as
we'll as public hospitals, or to bring to-
gether "A team of general practitioners
at properly organized local Health
Centres, or to provide a full service
of specialists for patients who need
them, although great advances in this
direction have been made during the
war \ salaried medical staff as part
of "A national health service, giving
| doctors not only an adequate salary
| but. prospects of a pension and freeing
them from economic dependence upon
paying patients, is an integral part of
these Labour proposals.

McColley Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, had the following letter
read at the meeting of the Unit re-
Gently. Her husband had written to
their son stationed Somewhere in
Africa asking him about his trip.
The boy answered as follows:
Dear Dad:

Or how, or when from where;
The only thing I'm certain Of
I'm sure as hell not there.
l can't tell how l travelled
BY foot, or car or train;
Or if | sailed the ocean blue,
Or took transport plane.

For If / mention where or when
I'd face Il firing squad.
l cannot mention weather,
That also is taboo,
cannot say it rained or showed
We had a heavy dew.
can't say what I'm doing now,
Or name the Spot I'm at,
don't dare mention one darn thing
And that's the end of that.
The next time I'm writing home,
I'm sure it will be safer,
To just address an envelope
And insert piece of paper.
AS ever, your loving son,
GEORGE.

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

VIVA - SOOTAlN
Chefs Hints: The idea is now catch
ing on and being spread by the nutri-
tion experts that peanuts, abundant in
the South, are just as effective cooked
with other vegetables, or may be
properly served boiled and Salted as
Il main vegetable
And it's heard said, south Of the
Mason-DiXon line, that green collardS
and raw peanuts cooked together are
as pork is to beans.
There is no shortage of spices at
this time but cautious use of those on
hand is urged so that there will be
enough for all for the duration. EX-
pertinent with substitute favOrs to
spread our existing supply of available
spices and herbs. For example, lemon
and lime juice with little lemon peel
to replace vanilla. Brown sugar,
mOlaSseS or honey spiced with the
tiniest bit of ginger can be used where
once ginger and brown sugar were
eXtravagantly used. Onion, mustard
seed, celery seed or celery salt, a
smidge of garlic, each in it's proper
proportion is substitute for the deli
cate bay leaf Sage is another native
herb that can double for the bay leaf.
Get acquainted with recipes of our
allies, notably China and Russia whose
native dishes offer many suggestions
for delicious new tlavOrs not dependent
upon spices.
TapiOca and rice come to us only
after long journeys at sea. Spread
their use with other starches native of
America, as hominy, cornmeal, sweet
and irish potatoes, pumpkin and
squash When spiced with raisins or
maple syrup many delicious puddings
may emerge from these starches. It's
fun to improvise while you are con-
serving foods.
Don't be discouraged if you can't

of ordinary cream will whip If a

~ELIBERATELY going without
- food for Is hours, it has been
discovered, is a common practice
with many Americans. These people
will go from supper at night to lunch
the following day without eating.
This "18-hour fast" is not wise,
according to many nutrition au-
thorities. Not wise at all.
The human body requires con-
siderable amounts of various nutri-
ents, to function efficiently. The
person who ignores breakfast, or
eats too skimpily, is likely not to
get enough of these required food
values in his daily diet.
