Reduced Steel Needs
Indicated, Despite
Plate Demand

CLEVELAND, Nov. 20.-The Mag
azine Steel said today despite a lift
In demand for plates, the industry's S
overall trend continues downward
with little to alter the expectation
OF considerable reduction in first
quarter requirements.
Accelerated demand for shells
and other types of neavy ammuni-
tion and greater pressure for COM
bat tanks and heavy trucks are caus-
ing tighter situation in bars and
shapes and have strengthened the
plate situation somewhat" declared
the publication. Pressure from the
armed services for greater produc-
tion OF some types Of munitions and
a possible squirt in steel consump-
ton for time strengthen the sit
uation currently but most steel lead
ers expect the easing trend of the
! past few months to continue with
few important variations"
Steel said deliveries are scattered
over considerable period, with a
majority Of plate promises in jan
uary and few In February. Bar de-
liveries are becoming progressively
later as the heavy steel program
proceeds, the trade journal added.
Steel said unofficial sources re-
port that the War Production Board
has approved 10 per cent increase
in tin plate production for the first
quarter.

REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK

flies itself, discovers itself in
family. friends, interests, and
loyalties beyond itself, and SO
extends itself that its outer
boundaries are hard to find.
Falling in love, for example,
is certainly natural. 1t is not first
of all a duty but an instinct. Its
essential characteristic, however
is that self-sufficiency breaks
down, and in a powerful surge
of emotion one person identifies
himself with another until hy-
perboles like lone soul in two
bodies are needed to express
the cons equence. AS Mrs.
Browning phrased it:
The widest land
Doom takes to part us. leaves thy
heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What
do
And what I dream include thee, as
the wine
Must taste OF its own grapes. And
when l sue
God for myself. He hears that name
of thine.
And see within my eyes. the tears
of two.
Along with love and friend
ship, one of the most durable
satisfactions in life is to lose one
self in creative work. Every wise
man seeks a task to dignity his
days. No man can be himself
until he gets out of himself into
work with which he identifies
himself.
Even beavers build their dams,
bees their honeycombs, and
birds their nests. Rooted in a
long past, there is in man an i'm
pulse to construct, an urge to
create, deep need to invest
himself in work that becomes
an extension of himself.
This is why more people be-
come neurotic from aimless lei
sure and laziness than from
Overwork, and this is why UNI
employment is one of the worst
of tragedies, its psychological
results quite as lamentable as its
economic ills. AS Michelangelo
said, 1T is only we'll with me
when l have chisel in my
hand"

This extension of the self is
ne of the profoundest myster-

democracy can become part of
