Grocers Confronted
With Labor Shortage
NatiOnwid Campaign Arranged to Obtain $4,000 Full
time Workers, 100000 Part.Time Clerks

Launching Of o nationwide CAM
paign designed to recruit at least
So 1000 full-time and 100000 part
time women workers for grocery
stores by July, 1914, was announced
today by a commercial food cannery.
Plans for the drive were formu-
lated to meet one Of the nations
most critical needs. Millions Of
workers must have their bread,
meat, oranges, eggs and spinach
If they are to go on producing
the implements of war. And they
depend upon the country's approx
mate SIS, 400 grocery stores for their
food supplies. Grocers in turn re-
ly upon 1,409,620 employees to see
that the Job is well done.
Every day across the nation 10000
men are being drafted into the
armed forces. Manpower shortages
are taking their toll in food stores
along with all civilian industries and
services. Women answered calls to
uniformed services, to war plants,
to shipyards. And still American
larders must be stocked. Cashiers,
checkers, clerks must be on hand
to channel 10 million cans Of food
that daily pass over the country's
needs in unprecedented numbers.
The U. S. Department of Labor
stated that in July, 1943, an all
time record of IT million women
workers was reached. 1t meant that
II million women were working
eight hours daily away from home.
In September, 1913, only $3.50 of

in food stores. The Manpower
Commission received some 100000
letters from women workers say

Response to the "help-wanted'
plea from grocers Is an important
step toward solving many Of the
questions confronting the home
front. Women who must remain
at home can devote part of their
time in food stores in order that
worker shoppers might be aid

WACS BECOMING
AIR CONSCIOUS
New Unit of Service APP
peals to Women APP
pliCants

New Haven, Nov. 24-The swing in
military service preference in Con-
necticut is to the Air-Wacs accord
ing to recent reports from the larger
recruiting installations. Air-Wacs
are members of the Women's Army
corps who serve exclusively in the
Army Air Forces in almost every
conceivable job except those which
have to do with actual flying.
Whether 1t is the universal lure
of sleek and powerful planes, the
glamour of wearing the wings and
star of the AAF or the solid realiza-
ton that air power is the most
promising short cut to triumph, has
not been decided. Most observers
believe that girls are attracted to
the Army Air Forces by a mixture
of these things.
In the early stages of the war
and the Women's Army Corps, there
was general disbelief in military cir
Giles that women could serve eff
GENTLY in such a highly technical
branch as the Air Forces. 1t was
believed that many tasks demanded
too much skill ana carried too much
responsibility. Now Gen. Henry H..
(Hap) Arnold, himself, admits that
women have answered the chal-
lenge.
In a recent message, Gen. Arnold
paid high tribute to the women
serving in the AAF and asked for
many more. Capt. Clark Gable, re-
turned to Hollywood from numerous
flights as photographer over Eur
ope, added his praise of the Air-Wac
val the news reel screen.
Women in the AAF have not con-
fined themselves to routine tasks
but have earned such responsible
assignments as radio operators, Link
Trainer operators, control tower OPP
orators and map makers. All such
tasks are vital, often carrying re-
sponsibility for life along with them.
Many feel, too, that service in the
Air Forces is as good guarantee
as they can get that they will travel,
which is the aim of great many
recruits. AS air power in all zones
expands, behind-the-lines personnel
grows with it.
Apparently, the modern woman is
as air-minded as the modern man.

REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICk
A Dependable Man Is Human
Natures N b lest Exhibit

| not always. Some of our moods,
impulses, and desires are nomads,
incorrigibly uncivilized by our
main design for living. In so far
as we are thus disintegrated, we
are not dependable.
This is evident even with regard
to a virtue like courtesy. AL
though politeness is supported by
some of the strongest motives that
play on human life, how common
is the person whose courtesy is
unreliable! Polite today, morose
and uncivil tomorrow; obliging
and well bred in business,
Grabbed, churlish, and sulky at
home; affable with ones so-called
equals" gruff and snobbish with
ones servants; a good sportsman
on the golf links, an ill-natured
jostler in the subway; kindly at
church, snarling and peevish in
the office; friendly with ones own
kind, splenetic and even brutal
toward Jews, Negroes, Roman
Catholics, Protestants, religious
liberals.
In one sense, human nature is
happily unpredictable. No one
can foresee what may be forth
coming from most unlikely people.
When Thomas Edison was seven
years old his school teacher gave
him up as a hopeless case. He
heard her tell the inspector that
he was added" and that it was
useless for him longer to attend
school.
The incalculable possibilities of
such boy are among the chief
assets of human nature. Even
when character has been cor
rupted, transformations can occur,
opening up futures that cannot be
forecast, and this unforeseeable
element is one of the glories of
personal life.
Moreover, even in those whom
we count most dependable there
is happily wide range of unpre-
dictability. We cannot tell what
new and surprising qualities may
yet appear in them. They may
be full of unexpected quirks and
humors, like a diamond with many
facets that surprise and delight
us. Indeed, paradoXical though
it is, this unpredictability may be
one aspect of trustworthiness.
James M. Barrie describes his
official conscious self as hard
headed, practical, and canny; but
his other self, whom he calls
'M'Connachie," is an impulsive,
fantastic, romantic fellow who,
when he wishes, takes charge of
Barrie and controls his, destiny
IN Connachie is the one who
writes the plays" This is not
disintegration, but richness and
variety of life. In this sense one
can share Logan Pearsall Smiths
exclamation, What bore it is,
waking up in the morning always
! the same person."
| Without contradicting such facts,
however, it still is true that pre-
dictable character is one of the
highest ethical goods. One can
tell in advance with what man
ner of behavior a man with such
character will act. He has de-
veloped a dependable style. Such
men are the strength of their
friends and the noblest exhibit
that human nature gives of itself.
