WAR MANPOWER
COMMITTEE
APPOINTED

Appointment of War Manpower
Committee fog the Hamilton Indus
trial area and Warren County was
announced today by Robert c.. Good
win, regional director of the War
Manpower Commission for Ohio, Ken
lucky and Michigan.
The Hamilton committee is COM
posed of four representatives of
management and an equal number of
labor representatives. The first meet
ing will be held within a few days to
plan for fuller utilization of Ham
ilton and Lebanon man and woman
power in winning the war.
Walter Mcdonald, area director for
the War Manpower Commission, now
stationed at Dayton, will act as chair
man of the first meeting, and outline
employment stabilization plans now
in effect in Dayton, Akron and other
| areas.
Management representatives named
to the Hamilton committee are: Wal
ter A. Rentschler, vice-president,
General Machinery Corp; Dean R.
Dove, secretary-treasurer Western
States Machine Co.; Arvid S. Ander
son, personnel director, Champion
Paper & Fibre Co.; and w. w.
Kearns, chief supervisor of employ
ment, Peters Cartridge Division of
Remington Arms Co., Inc.
| The four labor representatives are:
Joseph Spaulding, business repre-
sentative, Carpenters Union Local

retary, Hamilton Metal Polishers Lo
cal 43, A. F. of L.; Herbert G.

Hamilton Local 257, c. |. O.; and Rus
sell Frazier, shop committeeman,
U. A. W., Hamilton Local 955, c. |. 0.
| In announcing the appointment OF
the Hamilton committee, Mr.. Good
win said, "There is definite indica-
tion that there will be shortage Of
labor in this area unless we fully
utilize the local labor supply. We
want to plan now to have the workers
| who will be needed when war indus
tries reach peak production late in
1943. Only by utilizing the local labor
supply fully can we hope to avoid un-
necessary immigration which will
place a further burden on local facili-
ties"
To avoid the dangers of uncon-
trolled immigration, Mr.. Mcdonald
said, "We must use minority groups,
women and older men, the handi-
capped, and, in fact, everyone who can
work at war job or who can replace
a man called to the armed services or
who can transfer from non-essential
work to war work.
"We must reduce absenteeism
which is cutting deeply into the pro-
duction of vital war materials. We
must obtain agreements which will
end labor piracy and job shopping.
The committee has big task ahead
of it, but we are confident it will
measure up to the great responsibility
placed upon it,"

DO YOU KNOW?

It's safe to say that half of the
women shoppers of the past week
were on the futile hunt for bread
knife. When more than 20 million
women develop a simultaneous urge
for bread knife that's more bread
knives than have been manufactured
in the last 20 years.
But since half loaf is better than
no loaf at all, so it is that a plain
kitchen knife is better than having to
tear the bread apart by chunks.
You should get the professional
grinder to sharpen up the old knife
and then by few licks a week on
your whetstone you can keep it sharp.
More good steel knives are ruined by
improper sharpening than anything
else. You can prolong the life of your
knife by cutting your bread on a
wooden bread board and keeping the
knife from coming into contact with
tile or hard surface.
You can prevent stocking runs
caused by snagging on splintery legs
of office desks or chairs by covering
splintery sections well with several
coats of colorless nail polish to make
a smooth hard surface.

GLAMOR

Jersey is one of the most popular
fabrics in ready made clothes and gay,
exotic and alluring jersey prints are
forecast for Spring. Big splashy
prints of tropical flowers and fruits
and exquisite border prints are to be
seen in all of the collections.
Women who hesitate to buy vivid
print dress may dress up plain num-
Der by adding print hat and bag set
in vivid design. Gay printed blouses
and scarves are favored with suits.
Printed jersey is combined with
other fabrics cleverly. Splashy printed
skirts are worn with plain rayon jack
cts, appliques of the jersey design
being used for pockets or trimmings.
The three best known hat designers,
Lily Dache, Sally Victor and John
Frederics have had their Spring show

Shallow sailors are worn far back
on the head and poke bonnets are
much in evidence. The bonnets are
half shell affairs, high and broad in

back. They are held on in most ingeni-

blanketed form nearest him was
stirring. He rose to his feet, he
took the two or three steps that
brought him to the boy, stopped

was Jules. Wide awake, he lay
looking out over the silvered up
land pasture and across the valley
trimming with white. Timothy
asked, Something the matter,
Jules?"

him. Its like the swell place in

back and forth over his nose.
Timothy pulled out his handker-

who blew his nose, handed back

quely from treble to bass and
back again. professor Hume,

"You probably weren't quite

teacher calmly. Sounds to me as
if you were dreaming. Rather a
nice dream.

Night was no more.

Renewed like eagles by long

youth clattered up the trail.
From time to time they looked
back over their shoulders at the
old and middle-aged men sober
ly bringing up the rear.
They crossed the top of Dow

were halfway to Hawley Pond

mot old at all. Can't be more
than seventy"
He got stiffly to his feet, and
snapped his fingers at the old col
lie. The boys scrambled up and
started on along the trail which
here, following the old wood road
was wide enough for several OF
them to walk abreast. Jules be-
gan to sing the Academy song,
and the others joined in.
Mr. Dewey hummed the air un-
der his breath. The boys van
ished around turn of the road
The two men walked soberly side
by side. Mr.. Dewey's thoughts
went back to the question of Mr.
Wheaton's health, and he asked
''D'you s'pose he'll remember the
Academy in his will? You'd think
he might, to hear him go on about
how much he thinks of it and

could know, "D'you suppose he
might think of leaving as much as
ten thousand?" Mr.. Dewey, walk
