CHARLES BEASLEY was round
and about showing everyone his
true love-light's picture which he
wears on his lapel in an army pin
locket. And what st. Paul lad
was busy as could be giving all the
gals the following line of 1--WE:
"Sugar! ! Pm going to ration
you.". After the dance, heard
some local lassies say that "there
may be a man shortage in town,
but when you see all these navy
men from the Chamberlain Field
dashing about, you sort of change
your mind about the shortage. &.
There's a strong rumor out that
there will be an attempt (by Twin
City biggies) to secure the services
of the Navy Orchestra for a huge
"Bond Victory Dance" which will
be held some time in the "Merry
Month of May.
Well, I'll really have to be on
my way, but I'll be SEEM you again

Hello Folks {:

Hello Folks:
Grounding day ushered in some
mighty fine balmy weather for US
here in the Twin Cities, didn't it
This kind of weather has even
started number of girls discuss
ing Easter outfits, etc., style shows
and Easter dances. They're a little
premature me-thinks don't you?)
Most of the local lassies, though,
are bemoaning the fact that there
won't be much fun dolling up in
spring outfits and Easter finery
with so many of the boys spread
round in the far corners of the
world. =.

County Workers
May Ordered
On 40-Hr. Week
Auditors Recommend
Compromising Time OF
for Short Saturday

County Auditors James d. Friel
and Ray Hafeli suggested Satur-
day that county employees be
placed on a 40-hour week, thereby
gaining 10000 man hours weekly
and enabling the county TO release
$50 workers for war work.
The auditors suggestion in a
letter TO the new county civil serv-
ice commission, was that the prec-
edent of giving approximately
1000 employees compensating time
of for Saturday morning work,
be abandoned for the duration.
Under the present arrangement
the employees work only 35 hours
weekly.
Friel and Hafeli speculated that
with a 40-hour week and because
OF diminishing governmental ae-
tivity. that employees could be re-
leased 10 war industry under
leaves of absence without filling
the vacancies.
The auditors proposal would
leave the final decision of releas-
ing a man with the departmental
heads.
The suggestions were made pre-
sumably so that the civil service
commissioners would have a con-
crete plan 10 present TO the county
board OF supervisors.

II the mayor and common coun-

100000 and came out with roughly
SIS, 100000, a cut OF $11 200, 900.
This year, he said, he plans to
ask for $S5 .000,00 Whether this
can be cut proportionately is a
question which will require large
percentage of the time of city Off
Gals from now until April l.
Shy at LoUer Tax
So far city officials have SHE'D
away from the question uppermost
in the minds of the taxpayers
whether this will result in lower
ing the tax rolls.
among the largest items II of9,-
lac, 068 for salaries and wages, an
increase of $2,351 ,324 over the cur
rent 1929 budget. Another
item, operation and maintenance,
which includes public school sala-
ries and wages, shows an increase

all-time high and $751; 01 over
last year.
City pensions and retirement
systems will cost s., 564, 862 this

This announcement gumnied the
works at Columbia Studios, where
the headman admitted they'd
signed Sinkwich for a football
movie. but were planning to keep
it a secret a couple of days.
The Universal chieftains were
but gallant.
"She's pretty darned good ss
a dancer. said one of them.
"SO's her sister.
81 didn't see anything wrong
with the pictures In the papers,"
she said. There wasn't any
reason for frankie TO get mad.
In fact they were very modest
photographs. We had our pic
lures made In costumes that
were more scanty yet, but the
newspapers didn't print them"

ceived the Purple Heart award
He was forced 70 Jump from his

them when they got me and
my motor broke into flames.
My leg was burned and
couldn't get out because the
centrifugal force held me in"
FINALLY, I rolled the plane
over on Its back and poured
out but purposely didn't open

you while you're floating down"

more plunged over $1,000 feet be-

he preferred the American ones.
He admittedly is looking for a
wife.
II want a nice one" he said,

That's what l was before I en-

more has nothing but contempt for
strikers in war plants.
IF they don't stop striking,
this war will last q lot longer
than they believe 4, will" he said.

Court Ceremony

Eighty-four persons were nat
uralized yesterday in a ceremony
before Justice F. Dickinson Let's of
District Court, bringing the total
number natualized already this
year in the District to 658, and ex-
ceeding the total number naturalized
here during the whole of last year
when 634 became American citizens.
In brief address, James R. Kirk
land, chairman of the Americana
zation Committee of the District Bar
Association, told the group that June
is commencement season for schools
and colleges and for those being
naturalized it is their commence
ment as American citizens. "You are
graduating into Americanism," he
said.
"A good citizen will defend his
country: he will lend his wealth to
finance his Government, and he will
further the war effort on the home
front by obeying the laws" Mr..
Kirkland added.
Hits Black Market.
Dwelling briefly on rationing, Mr..
Kirkland described it as a demo-
cratic effort to insure the fair and
equal distribution of food" and sug-
gested that the newly-naturalized
citizens, as good citizens should
help to destroy the black market"
A brief address also was delivered
by Mrs. William E. Richardson,
chairman of the Manual for Citi-
zenship Committee Of the District
Of Columbia, Daughters OF the
American Revolution. The colors
were raised by the National Guard

Among those naturalized yester-
day was Mrs. Charles L. Lauwers,
20, from Czechoslovakia, who saw
the Germans invade her native land
and who looked forward to becom-
ing an American citizen so she could
serve this Nation by joining the
WAACS. They earlier had agreed
to accept her as soon as she became
citizen. She was sworn in as a
WAAC shortly after becoming
citizen and left for a training point
soon afterWard.
Served as Attache.
Her husband is lieutenant in the
Army Air Forces. In Washington
she has served as assistant to the
press attache at the Czechoslovak-
ian Legation. In Czechoslovakia
she rode a motorcycle for the Red
Cross between the front lines and
the rear.

sire to become a WAAC and re-

invasion of Czechoslovakia, Mrs.
LauWers said: Il am becoming a
citizen of the United States and
must give something in return"
Also among those naturalized yes
terday were four Sisters of Catholic
religious orders, all formerly of Ger
many. who have been residents of
this country for number of years.
Also, there was Capt. D. A. MacFad-
yen, 38, of the Army Medical Corps,
who was a Canadian He has been
a physician in the Army since last
January. He said he was "delighted"
at becoming an American citizen.
While 84l became naturalized citi-
zens here in l941 and 746 in 1910,
the rapid increase in naturalizations
is shown by the fact that only 29l
were naturalized here in 1884, &C
cording to statistics compiled bv
Mrs. Helen T. McGraw, deputy clerk
at District Court, in charge of nat
uralization.
