Their Red Cross craftshop and pro-
gram is much better developed than
any which I have yet seen in oui
hospitals, but I gathered that the
doctors were more interested in II
than some of our military doctors
seem to be. OF course, one has to
remember that Australian hospitals
are permanent, whereas ours are
built for the duration only.
In the course of the afternoon,
we visited the ZOO, SO that l might
not leave here without seeing some
of their prize animals, such as the
kangaroo, who hoped about oblig-
ingly for us; the little bear, who is
/ quite a pet they tell me, but whose
! claws seemed to me menace to
my uniform; and some beautiful
birds.
LAST STOP
Our last stop was at the Red
Cross blood bank center, where they
keep q list of donors on whom they
call every three months. They told
me that the women were among
their most reliable donors, coming
in whenever sent for. Some people
have given as much as twelve times.
So much is being sent north now,
that even though they have 10000
people registered, they now are look
ing for more.
Dinner was had at Government
House and it was pleasant even
ing for ME, since I found both His
Excellency and the Premier of
New South Wales were interested
in soil erosion and conservation,
which have been among my hus-
bands chief interests for a long
time. II may be that, in Australia,
they are aware of the danger of
wasting their land before it is too
late. Like all pioneer countries,
think they have been inclined to
take out more than they put in,
which is never a practice you can
pursue for long.
Incidentally, one of the amusing
sights here is the cars which carry
enormous bags of gas that cover
the whole top of the auto. 1t seems
to work, however. I had a little
sidelight on transportation diff
culties when I was told that the
flying doctors were now often used
as emergency shopping service as
well A woman in a lonely spot
may call flying doctor for a sick
child, but she may add, Would
you do me a favor and bring along

, posed almost entirely of men re-
turned from the Middle East and
congratulated the band on its play
ing of the Star Spangled Banner
as well as it could have been played
at home. Then I met some groups
of women belonging to all the AuXi-
liarv Military Services.
We had tea afterwards, which is
one of the pleasant customs here.
One may have mid-morning tea
as well as mid-afternoon tea. Then
we proceeded tc very big Ameri-
can hospital. 1t was a long drive
and talked to three boys opposite
me. They had all been wounded in
New Guinea and had been among
General Eichelberger's troops there,
so the boys asked him for informa-
ton about their friends and he
seemed much pleased to talk with
them. I took the names and home
addresses Of those within reach
and hope to write to their families
on my return.
TALKS TO BOYS
1t will be nice to be able to say
that all are doing well and some are
coming home. I talked to some
boys in the recreation hall and
later in the wards. One man had
a collection of souvenirs he was
sending home to his mother and
l had to hand over a pin. The gen.
eral was asked for one of his stars
which, unfortunately, he could not
part with.
From there we drove to an Aus
tralian hospital, which had taken
in our first wounded when they
arrived here from Bataan. The ma
tron in charge and nurses had been
very kind to our boys and 1 was
glad of this opportunity to thank
them.
They have very nice library in
with their military hos
pitas, which is better arranged for
reading than ours usually are.

War Board Information Editors

Phosphate fertilizer is demand
| ing much of the attention OF the
War Board and its fertilizer dis
tribution committee.
Definitely, 1T cars of 20 per cent
phosphate are coming and we are
applying pressure for more. We
| have some assurance that a total
of $4,000 tons of emergency phos-
phate from the east will be made
available for Imperial and River
side counties of which Imperial
Valley will get approximately 10000
tons.
We said made available" because
it is true that what we get is being
taken from eastern areas that also
need 1t.
PIEPER HERE
Don Pieper, representing the
State War Board, spent a couple OF
days here and brought us a lot of
information on how the distribu-
ton is to be handled.
First priority goes to Glass A"
crops which, so far as Imperial
Valley is concerned, means cabbage,
carrots, onions, peas, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes and vegetable seeds.
When the requirements of these
crops have been completely salts
fled, fertilizer may be apportioned
among growers of alfalfa, flax seed,
sugar beetS and permanent pasture.
After those are taken care of, it
will be- provided for sereal grains.
If there is any left, it will go to
melons and lettuce. which the War
Food Administration, advised by
military authorities, does not con-
slider essential to the war effort,
looking at the overall picture. 1t
is eastern crops in this clasSifica-
ton that we are robbing
We hope fertilizer for lettuce and
melons will show up from some
other source.
ALLEGATIONS may not exceed the
amounts per acre recommended by
the agricultural experiment stations
for the, various crops-the available
supply may dictate smaller ones.
People who need phosphate and
have not ordered it should get
their requests in Immediately to
their dealers or to the county agri-
cultural commissioner.

extras for substitution in case the
State Board should reject some

Chances are that those recon-
mended by the County War Board
will go right on up the line. A lot
of time will be saved and we will
avoid the trouble few farmers
have experienced, whose applica-
tions arrived in Washington just
after the national quota ran out
In those cases the applications
were rejected rather than being

No reliable information is out on

TRACTOR APPLICATIONS

Farmers who need new crawler-

and those who applications have
been rejected because there were
no tractors available at the time
should try again.
Under a new procedure, a quota
of these machines will be assigned
to California for each three-month
period That quota will be broken
down by counties and the County

The effect of the War Manpower Commissions ruling placing musi- clans in the nOn-essential cIassifica- ton, has resulted in reducing the ranks of professional players throughout New England. This was brought out in reports at the New England Conference of Musicians held in Boston this week

Role Of Women In
 War Is Explained

Millions of women who will fill war time jobs during the present emerg- ency are in the employment picture permanently, Mrs. Chase Going Wood house, War Manpower Commission consultant on the problems of profes- sional and technical-trained women told the Open Forum of the New Haven Central Labor Council at its last meeting. She spoke on the prob lens of employing sufficient women workers for the war program.
 The former Connecticut secre- tary of state advocated: CD local voluntary recruitment of women to fill jobs in their home areas in- stead of universal drafting of all women; CD job analysis by em- pIoyers to find where individual women workers might be most effectively placed; (3) training programs to fit women for particu- lar positions; (4) advancement of woman workers to supervisory positions on the basis of proven ability and seniority; (5) consid- eration of continued employment for millions of women in the peace time production; (6) abolition of job discrimination because of sex, color or religion.
 Mrs. Woodhouse, who is professor of Economics at Connecticut College New London, said approximately 100000 women will be required for work in the wartime econmy. Six million of these will be women who have never worked outside of their homes before The speaker hoped that the public would stop talking about women war workers as meaning only workers in production plants, and talk about women in the total war pro- gram. By the war program she meant all fields of employment, such as the service trades and the professions, as we'll as directly in plants.
 ''Not every woman is fitted by training and temperament to do direct war work" she declared ''But every woman who replaces g man who has been called for ser vice or has taken an arms-prOduc'

Men Who Lead Labor:

One of the most energetic young men to be elected president of a labor union is John HOnore, presi- dent of Local AZ, New Haven Typo graphical Union. He is completing his first term as president of the Local, and has been unanimously nominated for second term.
 HOnOre headed the Unions negO- tiating committee which recently won a $4 weekly raise for members at the Wilson H. Lee Co. Not con- tent with getting the company to agree to the raise which affects l3O typos at the plant, HonOre and the committee did not rest and let nature. or rather the War Labor Board machinery take its course. They actively pursued the question until they got ''yes" for an answer from the Board. During this process they prevailed upon U. s. Senators to get action for them from the War Labor Board.
 The president of the Typos does not have the appearance Ot an aggressive person. He is soft spoken, somewhat modest, but straightforward.
 ssI've only been in the union a short while," he said. ''But at that I know that trade unionism stands between the mechanic and wage slavery. We would all be working for $2O a week if it were not for labor organizations. That's not all labor unions give the workers an opportunity for democracy on their job.''

WASHINCTON.- Probably the firmest action Price Ad- ministratOr Prentiss Brown has taken since he stepped into Leon Henderson's place was the unequivocal ''no" he delivered to the National As sOciatiOn of Real Estate Boards last week.
 NO IMPORTANT CHANGE
 Wasting no time, Exec. Vice-Pres. Herbert Nelson of the association was busily telling his troubles to the Delaney subcommittee investi- gating government agencies the same day. So were Richard Hard ing of the Utah Real Estate Board and Apartment House Assn. of Utah and others. Officials of various federal housing agencies also were witnesses.
 Brown turned down each of the powerful real estate association s four points in their petition to O.P.A. for weakened rent control. He declared that one of the most successful agencies in the battle against imitation had been the rent division, and added:
 ssT do not intend to alter either its method or its administrations 7
 First point in the real estate Iobby's program was change in the regulation designed to end evic- tion of war workers by phoney sales to other tenants. Down pay. ment of one-third of the price of the property and three months notice to the tenant being busted is now required.
 Although the realtors request for a cut to lO@o was denied, however, the regular probably will be chang ed later to a 2O%o requirement, it was learned. But the time clause will remain and if violations occur the Canadian system of requiring l2 months notice will be adopted. rent employees insisted to F.P.
 Both the A.F.L., which recently declared rent control as perhaps the only effective feature of the governments price stabilizatiOn program and the CLIO. have strengthened Browns hand greatly in rent. People within the O.P.A. rent division make no secret of the fact that they owe his resistance to the realtors to labor.

ton job, and is contributing to the war program"
 Every family should be permitted to make its own decision on whether the wife and mother shall take a job outside of the home, said Mrs. Wood house. She emphasized that the re- cruitment for women should be on a voluntary basis.
 Intensified efforts should be made to meet the home problems of prospective working mothers and housewives. Mrs. Woodhouse cited transportation and child-care prOb- lems as factors involved in woman employment. She was of the opinion that many women could be brought into industry through a wider inauguration of four-hOur shifts.
 She thought that the postwar period could be developed into a state of full time stabilized employment for all workers including women. The former Secretary of State saw many indica- tions that both industry and govern ment are planning for full-time em- ployment, and hoped that these plans will consider women workers.
 ''NO one can make me believe that l9,OOO,OOO women workers are going to quit their jobs and retire to their homes on the cessa- ton of hostilities" she declared. "A large number of them will have to depend on themselves. Others will want to continue their careers.
 ''We must stop discriminating against women in industry and in the professions, just as we have to stop job-discrimination against people because of their color or religion" she concluded.
