OThis THAT !!
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

A STATEWIDE readjustment of
territorial Jurisdictions of Team
sters' locals has gone i'm effect. I'm
der the new setup members in the
various localities now belong to the
local in their territory. Hartford re-
tains its two locals, but membership
of both in the Norwich area have
have been enrolled in a new organi-
cation, No. 439, Norwich.
No. 443 has become exclusively
a New Haven local, absorbing for
mer l9l men in its district. In turn,
l9l, Bridgeport, has taken over the
former members of 443 in the
Park City area. Full details on the
reorganization of territories will be
printed as soon as available from
Joint Council "a, which sponsored
the readjustment.
THE Portland (Ore.) OregOniGn
ran the following story on its front
page Aug. 81:
"A thief walked away from
Springer's dance hall on S. E. Fos-
ter Road Saturday night with a
snare drum belonging to Walter
Belknap."
The headline over the story
read: ''Takes drum, beats it."
WHAT HAPPENED in Middle
town when the board of finance last
spring attempted to adopt the Man
chester plan of dunning former re-
lief recipients for repayments, must
have had great bearing on the de-
cision of the New London city coun-
Gil to drop the same idea, with
which it had been toying. Both
cities have thriving Central Labor
Unions, and it was the Middletown
C.L.U. which lead the strong wave
of protest that drove the penny
pinchers to cover, convincing them
that the idea was filled with ''po-
litical dynamite.
In THE MEANWHILE Manches-
ter with no appreciate local labor
opposition continues to dun the VIC
Tins of the great depression and is
reported to have collected some
Sal 900 from them. Undoubtedly,
the Manchester campaign incites
the imagination of many Office
holders who know that to build up
the towns treasury without new
taxation is to increase ones politi-
cal chances-if it isn't political sui
eide.

As We See It. by The Staff

/ 1T is NICE to know that Admiral
Emory S. Land, head of the Mari
time Commission, has changed his
attitude toward organized labor. 1t
was only a year ago that Land got
off his Infamous lines about shoot
ing union organizers. Recently he
told uniOnists i'm New York that he
had come to conclusion that labor
leaders are smart and decent peO-
pie. We knew it all along. Land
should talk to Rickenbacker, Kali
tenborn and Pegler.
MAYBE YOU think the Japanese
language would be difficult to mas
ter, but as Morley Cassidy tells it
in the Philadelphia EUening BuIIe-
tin, the Japs find it harder to ex-
press themselves i'm the English
language, even though they think
it's swank to copy the enemy. Cas-
sidy was sent to Alaska some
months ago by the Bulletin and has
been in on all the operations re-
Gently at Kiska.
After the recent evacuation of
Kiska, American and Canadian sol
diers found countless packages of
incense piled up in officers quar-
tiers. The paper packages, resem-
bling fire-crackers, proudly pro-
claimed on one side that they are
''made in Japan-sole agency by
Ohtanl ShOten, Ltd, Bakuramachi,
Osaka, Japan
Under the heading of specialties
there is fve-paragraph lists of rea-
sons for the vast superiority of
this brand of incense. The list
reads:
Zone. Very easy to apply a
match to the kinjo modern kai-
robai.
Zone. Should never vanish off
when once lighted.
Gone. May use half the kinjo
modern kairObi for short time use.
Zone. Wrap enough with cloth
or such cover, when applying, as
the heat is strong then warns will
keep twelve hours long by one
stick.
Zone. No trouble to change the
ash like the others at ALL"
In spite of this, writes Cassidy.
''the CHS who have tossed sticks
into their rubbish fires say that
kinjo moderns kairobi still smell
in Japanese
1t was toilet articles and similar
personal things that yielded the
best examples of Japanese-EngIish,
leading soldiers to speculate that
a dash of English is regarded as
lending tone. But the results are
truly odd. For example, there was
the pasteboard box of toothpowder
which bore solid panel of Jap.

THE ALL. CONVENTION now
in session might take a strong
stand on the question of cartels in
post war world. These super-trusts
extending across international
boundary lines, are now laying the
ground work for economic dictator
ship. Their interest is selfish and
centers in the hands of a small
wealthy group, as opposed to the
general welfare of the workers and
common people.

It's Hard to Believe

Boston: The etymology Of the
word INSULT puzzles me. Will you
please explain?-J. D. D.
Answer: The word has a curious
origin indeed. 1t comes from the
French insulte. which came from
the Latin insilire. meaning Ito leap
upon" Originally, insult meant ito
make an attack upon" especially a
military attack. as They rushed to
meet the insulting (attacking) foe:
they took the spear, but left the
shield. "-Freneau.
It's hard to believe that when
F1do leaps upon your lap, the
friendly little creature is literally
insulting you. but it's true.

How Peter Rabbit would have

But no one heard it because, you
know, that little grumbler was way
down in his snug bedroom under

all to himself until right into the

a sound which caused him to sit

bia River; some of them are canned,
others sold fresh. Shipments OF
steelhead trout to the East have
increased greatly in the last few
years.
The run of steelheads in the low
er Columbia is heaviest from the
first Of August until late Novem-
Der. The spawning season is a
long one and varies much with the
locality. In the important spawning
beds in the headWaters of the SAL
mon River, Idaho, spawning takes
place from May to June. The fish
reach Sawtooth Mountain early in
May and the headwaters Of Payette
River early in April.
Steelheads rank very high as
game fish. Much trolling is en-
joyed for these fish in the sounds,
river mouths and bays along our
Pacific Coast, and excitement and
pleasure are always assured. Steel
heads also rise to the artificial fly,
and where they have been perma-
nently resident for many genera
tons they bite quickly. In fresh
water where they have been recently
established they are not so energetic.
The Bureau Of Fisheries has prop
agated the steelhead successfully.
They have been introduced into
Lake Superior and its tributary wa
tiers. and here catches of large,
handsome steelheads have been
made.
Fish is an important item in our
diet. We have been asked to use
them instead of scarce meat when
ever we can. The problem is not an
abundance Of fish just now, but the
lack of men to catch them and cars
for transportation. This summer
there will be vast number of fish
erman who will have no trouble dis
posing of their catch.
