Bridge Committee Lauded For Work

The special bridge committee or the Shipbuilders Union reported to the April meeting that its activities were not finished and that other action was in progress intended to secure further relief for Electric Boat Workers in connection with passage across the River.
 Various members of the General Committee of the Union expressed satisfaction and appreciation by workers at the plant over the ac- complishments to date
 The action of the Bridge Com, mittee has already resulted in dir- ect benefits to Electric Boat Work CTS thru substantially reduced tolls directly resulting from action by the Union. It is estimated that thousands of dollars have already been saved by workers thru the re- duction of tolls thru two postpone mentS of opening of the bridge by the Union.

captives in the United States is agri-
cultural. This field, of course, of
fers the least opportunity for sabo-
tage. When captives engage in this
work they do not in any sense COM
pete with native labor, but are SIM
ply supplementary to it. Farmers
arrange with their county farm
agent for the employment Of prison
ers. The number is usually small
and the prisoners are scattered over
wide areas, thus removing from this
practice all element of hazard.
Generally speaking, Axis prison
ers, with the exception of the Jap,
of whom we have only a very small
number, are a contented lot. They
have better food, clothing and shell
ter than they had under the Nazi
banner; in certain sense they have
more liberties, and for them the

Ernest ]. Kreutgen, Chicago post
master, 0eft) explains to George
Mccarthy, foreman in charge of
foreign mail, how packages should
be wrapped and addressed to get
favored delivery service to men in
the armed forces overseas.
to retailers and army and navy post
exchanges.
Reasons given for the expected in
crease in the number of gifts sent
this year overseas are:
I. The moved-up official mailing
date, September is to October Is,
extended to November /, for those
in the navy, marine corps and coast
guard, will stimulate early shopping,
and the five pound limitation on gift
packages means more will be sent.
2. More stores have installed spe-
cial gift counters or departments
which means more display, adver-
Using, and sales.
8. The home folks are now better
advised on the gift preferences of
servicemen and women, and know
more specifically where they are sta
toned, hence can make their selec-
tons more intelligently.
4. The overseas forces, operating
on more fronts, and facing more
varied climatic and geographical
conditions, become eligible for
wider variety of gifts.
The tendency to send more gifts
to those flrthest from home also
favors increased sales. While short
ages at home are developing in such
items as watches, leather novelties
and jewelry, it is thought heavier

titude has been far from satisfac-
tory. A case in point was the shoot
ing of the U. S. fliers who bombed
Tokyo with General Doolittle's
squadron which took off from Shan
gri La (aircraft carrier, Hornet) and
who had the extreme misfortune of
either being shot out Of the skies or
forced down for other reasons. These
prisoners, it was later announced by
the Japs, were shot, contrary to all
the rules of war, as a deterrent to
other American fliers who might en-
gage in the bombing Of Japan. This
violation of the International rules
of war has not, however, worked,
and Japan may well tremble in its
boots for the day Of reckoning which
is drawing closer with each dawn.
Bombing perimeters are drawing
closer to the heart of the Japanese
empire day by day.

Admirals may be admirable, but
that isn't where the word comes
from. 1t comes from an old Arabic
word "amir-al' meaning "com-

the Navy. Top-ranking cigarette

favorite, too with men in the Army,
Marines, and Coast Guard, accord
ing to actual sales records from
their service stores. Camels are
top-ranking gift, too. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels
to- soldiers in the U. S., and to
men in the Navy, Marines, and
Coast Guard wherever they are.

More Gifts for Overseas Servicemen

purchases of more available items
will more than Offset these.
The number of gifts to come from
service personnel abroad to relatives
and friends at home is expected to
be larger per capita because manu-
facturers and distributors, who sell
to army and navy post exchanges,
particularly in the Mediterranean
area, already report rising sales to
servicemen and women. More post
exchanges, greater opportunity af-
fOrded servicemen to buy direct
from the natives, who also sell to
PIX, is factor now boosting sales.
Other sales stimulants are that over
seas servicemen and women, in
high spirits themselves, are not SO
sure about the morale of the home
folk and seek to bolster it by gifts.
Flusher with cash, and conscious Of
accumulated favors from home, the
overseas contingent find themselves
in an ideal spot to reciprocate.
Among American made gift items
most popular at overseas post ex-
changes are pins, clips, earrings,
vanity cases, many bearing the in
sigma of the various branches of the
service. Ornate pillow tops and
handkerchiefs, which embody deli
cately worded sentiments, come to
the aid of thousands of less articu-
late servicemen. Such items are
prime favorites overseas as well as
at post exchanges at home.
Necklaces, embroideries, pipes,
laces, opal and topaz jewelry, met
al and leather handicraft of Latin
and Oriental origin, is also in high
favor. Watches, one of the top pref
erences among all in the service,
are relatively easy to get in the Med
iterranean area, since many of them
come direct from Switzerland.
The gifts servicemen may expect
from the home folks parallel some
what those sent last year, although
there will be a wider selection to
choose from. Furlough bags, small
carry-all and sewing kits, duf1e
bags, wallets, religious medals, iden-
LITIGATION bracelets, photo cases, pen
and pencil sets, shaving equipment,
insignia pieces, and of course ciga-
rettes, are high on the preference
list of servicemen. 81
Money belts are not expected to
be as popular this year as last,
while watertight pocket-size holders
for miscellaneous personal things
are in high vogue. Pocketsized
games such as checkers, cribbage,
gin runmy, backgammon and acey
ducey are similarly popular.
While these gift items have gen.
eral popularity among the forces
overseas as well as at home, vari-
ETY. of gift preferences is develop
ing. A large number on the Pacific
front, for instance, show partially
to such articles as knives, sun
glasses and anti-sun and bug lotions.
The growing number of service
women is debating the installation
of women departments in post ex-
changes. Heavy orders for toilet
ries, apparel items, and the more
esthetic type of gifts are reported.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-10-08

Based on increasing demand for
gift items it is estimated that over
seas servicemen and women will re-
ceive 20 per cent more Christmas
presents per capita this year than
last, and the home folks may ex-
pect an even larger percentage Of
reciprocal gifts, mostly Of the luxury
and sentimental type. This forecast
was made by John c. Goodall, gen.
eral manager of the Merchandise
Mart, Chicago, following a checkup
among gift item manufacturers and
distributors, including those who sell

anxious than the rest of us to avoid ration

Strike out all recipes that call for cream.
There certainly won't be any more Of it.
There may be less and its butterfat content
may be still further reduced.
Americans will continue to spoon down
their beloved frozen desserts, but less ice
cream, more ices and sherbets, and fewer

CHEESE. You missed that chunk of home
grown cheddar on your Christmas pie.
Precious little cheddar will be around to
tingle your tongue. Don't grouse! But your
allowance will be only " ounce week.
This cheese packs more food value per
pound than any other and is wanted for
export. There will be only pounds OF
all the other rationed cheeses per person for
the entire year And you can't 60 whole hog
for cottage cheese either, as increased pro-
duction is prohibited. High points promise
to keep cheese spreads at their present level.

they good! It's peanut-butter year with
pounds apiece - or as much as you want
for every man, woman and child.
FROZEN FOODS. The government is urg
ing the industry to hike the goal again. Peas
and limas will account for more than half
the pack. Forget frozen fruits; the armed
forces gobble these up.
YRUIT. This will continue scarce until the
new harvest. Even then good part of the
crop on certain fruits will be siphoned of
to the commercial jam and jelly makers
Yes, we will have bananas, twice as many
as earlier this year. More boats are allowed
to carry this fruit. But our supply will still
be less than we ate before the war.
We are promised more prunes for break
fast, more raisins for rice puddings.
America is eating more figs and growing
more figs Dates are short.
CEREALS. You may eat all the bread and
cereals you can hold and still feel patriotic.
In the last war we went wheatless two days
a week. This time we are urged to eat more
cereals, along with more fruits and vegeta-
bles, to Offset reduced quantities of meats,
