Consider Cake Food; It Helps Lift Morale

Cake is definitely a food, not just a luxury, If the fanily's morale needs cake more than butter or margarine on its bread, then use your shortening accordingly. Spiced and highly favored cakes can be made with home-rendered fats.

Strike Threatens
Ward in Baltimore

With the White House due to
make the next move in the Mont
gomery Ward case, a spread of the
mail-order house troubles was In
prospect today in Baltimore, where
leaders of the CIO Store Employees
Union were threatening a tie-up OF
the company's mail-order house and
retail store because of the policies
of Sewell Avery and the company"
The new strike threat was barred
last night by Maurice j. Neistadt,
assistant business manager of the
CIO local, who said the strike will
be called off as soon as the Govern
ment seizes the plant. We will work
for Uncle Sam but we don't intend
to work for Sewell Avery" Mr..
Avery is chairman of the board of
Montgomery Ward.
An official of the Baltimore store
said full complement of workers re-
ported for duty today despite the
strike call
Union employees of four Montgom-
cry Ward stores in Detroit have been
on strike almost two weeks CIO off,
cials said the strike was called after
the company declined to accept the |
WLB edict that it grant wage in
creases, back pay seniority provi-
sions and maintenance of member
ship clauses to its workers. The
strike has been referred to Economic
Stabilizer Fred M. Vinson, a step
that ordinarily is the forerunner of a
presidential seizure order.
