BOLIVIA:
Essential Move'

Even before the Bolivian congress
had chance to formally declare
war on the Axis, the nation was told
that such move was essential to
American solidarity and that the
country's productive facilities must
be Immediately expanded.
When President Enrique Penaran-
da and his cabinet held a confer
ence with United States Vice Presi-
dent Wallace to discuss a war de-
cree, Brazil was the only South
American country at war with Ger
many and Italy. Bolivia had bro
ken off diplomatic relations with the
Axis a year ago.

weeks, and Ed has to be there.
did not want to go; I haven't the
dress; I'm out of that mood. When
he told me of it he said: I know
you hate those long talky dinners, so
I told them to count you out Now
I learn that he is taking Dorothy.
Something simply seethes within me
when I think of it. I stay at home
cooking, washing, caring for small
children all day long, and Dorothy,
sweet and fresh, goes out with my
husband at night.
ED cuts me to the heart by indi-
eating that our days of dancing,
companionship, sharing of pleasures,
are over. But doesn't department
boss hurt himself, too, when his
friends learn that it is his stenogra-
pher who is with him? What is the
wise thing to do for us all? If I'm
wrong tell me So"
Husband Needs Prodding.
That is the letter. The answer
ought, of course, to be sent to Ed.
It's about time that some of the Eds
of this world found out that the rails
ing of family is, first, the most
important job in the world, for man
or woman, and second, that it is one
of the hardest. Any man whose wife
has given him four children, and
whose. means are not sufficient to
give her adequate help with all that
she has to do, should be in a con-
tinual attitude of sympathetic help
fulness and tacit apology. Edna,
who wrote that eloquent letter, is
too fine woman to rail at him, to
remind him that other women have
leisure and cars and servants and
dignity in their lives. She loves her
slavery to the nursery; she bright
ems the drudgery of her days with
innovations, experiments, fun. But
tits slavery and drudgery just the
same.
Some day her sons will repay her.
Some day four splendid, vital Boy
Scouts will be pointed out, in her
town, those are the Lee boys all
together there" Some day, when
they are all in school, just blissful
rest-just freedom to walk uptown
Vi liz ao"H Will q Oooh 4ol Oil
will be so sweet to her that she won't
regret these years that taught her
the miracle of freedom.
Meanwhile, since Ed is bent upon
destroying the devotion between
them, and throwing away his pater-
nal influence in these baby years
when it must be established if it is
to be established at all, my advice
to Edna is just to ignore him for
awhile. Let him 60 his way. If
Dorothy can't do better than to pick
married man, father of four small
boys, as beau, she can't be much
of siren. Sometimes the healthiest
attitude wife can take is to burst
out laughing at these affairs, and
instead of whimpering "What do you
see in herr" ask "What on earth
does she see in YOU?"
Worrying will accomplish nothing
and will only anger Ed, whose con-
science is probably troubled any,
way. Don't beg for what you want,
but make him see that you can give
him what he really wants.

General Eisenhower felt that po-

The Weather.
A Dead Topic

AS you Know, mention OF the
weather on the radio these days is
forbidden. The newspapers can de-
scribe snow storm or a hot spell
but the radio commentators cannot.
There is good reason for this.
A lurking submarine could pick up
newscast, and if enough facts con-
corning the weather were revealed
by stations in enough widely sep
arated localities, even an amateur
meteorologist-and the Germans are
no amateurs-could make a pretty
good weather forecast by putting two
and two together.
But being unable to describe the
manifestations of nature that see
on my way to work in the morning
is terrible handicap to me. Re-
Gently I've gotten around the diff
Guilty by talking about last weeks
weather, and before going on the
air, reading what I was going to
say to the censorship officials and
getting their o. K. In no case did
they restrict me. The other day,
however, forgot to call up the Cen
sorship office but the Blue Network
didn't forget. I got this message:
Censorship says you have to cut
out all references to weather from
now on. They say that there was
nothing actually censorable in what
you have said or what you have
written today but so many COM
plants have come in from other
stations that you were violating
the regulations, and so many other
stations have been using your COM
ments on the weather as an excuse
for violating the rule, that we will
have to ask you to stop discussing
the subject entirely"
The following is what censorship
didn't let me say but what it has no
objection to my printing:

clothes, whether ventilation will be
recommended, and whether repetitivC
counts are needed will be given.
Clay Shop
The accompanying table shows that
there were II dust counts made in the
clay shop. All of the dust counts show
results which are over the anticipated
code limits of four million for ideal
conditions with the exception of the
dust count made for the general aisle.
However, only four of the eleven dust
counts are over the anticipated code
limits of ten million particles per cubic
foot of air.
Housekeeping in general was only
fair. However, since the dust counts
were started, floor mopping machine
has been purchased, and has been put
into operation which has brought about
an improvement. None of the opera
tions have local exhaust systems. The
condition of the workers clothes in
general is not good.
The floor hopping machine has only
been used with partial regularity due
to difficulties in finding an operator.
The impetus given by the study has
caused an improvement in workmen' S
clothing. In addition a few hard top
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1943-04-01

counts fall under the anticipated code
limit of ten million.
The writer recommends that repeti-
tive counts be made in this depart
ment, and in addition that further
counts be made to cover cup inspection
and cup grinding.
Packing Shed
Three counts were made in this de-
partment, and these three counts truly
represent the three varying conditions
of the department. Even though the
general air condition is good, and even
though the operation of putting bungs
in the barrels falls below the antici-
pated code limit of ten million, the
dust count for the actual operation of
packing barrels is substantially above
any code limit. Therefore, the writer
is going to recommend general ventila-
ton for the department in the Report
No. IL which is forthcoming He would
also like to recommend that these
three counts be kept on Mr.. Reuters
list of repetitive counts. While no
qualitative analysis of this dust has
been made, it is the writer's opinion
that it is not as hazardous as it is
irritating. Therefore, the count of II
million particles per cubic foot need

Buffalo. n. You will recall that
in Report No. l three major objectives
were given. The first objective has for
the major part been accomplished,
namely to determine as nearly as may
be possible the proper threshold limits
of concentrations of various dusts,
fumes, and gases to which those in the
plant are exposed. Report No. Z re-
cites that four million particles Of dust
per cubic foot of air might be con-
sidered as ideal conditions and further,
that probably a maximum limit of ten
million dust particles per cubic foot
would be set as practical working
limit in a ceramic code in New York
State if and when such q code might
be adopted.
The writer wishes at this time to
submit summary report on objec-
tive number two, which was to deter
mine the extent of dust, fumes and gas
concentrations now existing at the
various operations throughout the
plant. The reports given up to date
have covered dust counts l through 60.
1t is the writer's intention to dis
cuss these results by department. In
each instance comment relative to
housekeeping, condition of workmen's

and for placing are above the ideal
limit of four million. All counts are
below anticipated code limit of ten
million particles per cubic foot.
The writer wishes to recommend re-
peating the counts for diScharging and
for placing in an effort to bring the
entire department under the ideal
limit. The analysis at this time is that
general plant conditions have caused
the count to be high at discharging.
AS far as placing goes, the writer be-
lieveS that it is condition of the
benches and the lack of daily change
of clothing which has caused this
count to 90 over four million. We
should also like to report that the
proper cleaning of ware boards should
help this condition very much.

BIG CHILD CARE PLAN
IS LAUNCHED BY NEW
YORK WAR COUNCIL

Albany, n "a $15,OOO,OOO pro-
gram to provide care for the children
of women working in war industries
was approved by the State War COun-
Gil, composed of representatives of
government, labor and industry.
The program is to be financed one
third by the state, One-third by local
tiles and Nne-third by parents. In the
event that federal funds are made
available, the states share will be re-
duced by that amount. The cost of
child care under the program is esti-
mated at a maximum of S275 year
for each child between . and 5 years
of age and 500 Il year for school
children over 5.
The centers will he open to all
children whose mothers are working
either in war Industries or i'm man
power shortage areas. Provision has
also been made to take over 2S settle
ment house nurseries operated by the
WPA, which otherwise would have
closed down April /.

limits of ten million, and with the eX-
ception of the spray booth, all counts
fell below ideal limits of four million.
The writer believes that the count
over four million can be brought down
to under ideal limits by better house
keeping and general cleanup in the
department. Apparently sufficient air
is being exhausted off of the glaze
machine to control the operations. The
cooperation of the foreman and the
operators has been very beneficial in
this department.
Hand Dipping
In the hand dipping department two
counts were taken. One for dipping
and one for taking off. In both in
stances the counts were under the
anticipated code limit of ten million.
However, at this point of dipping, the
count was 6.2 million which in the
writer's opinion can be improved by
better housekeeping. Inasmuch as these
dust counts are on control operations,
it is recommended that for the time
being they are repeated in the next
series.
