months" he commented. THE boys

Teachers

Medicine

COLUMBUS, June II - A
goodly colony of Ohio school
teachers assembled on June IA
to begin a course in conservation
education to fit them for in
tegrating this important phase of
learning into their classroom
teaching. The teacher-training
school is located at Camp Mus
kingum, formerly occupied by
the NYA boys. The Conserva-
ton Laboratory is sponsored
jointly by the Ohio Division of
Conservation and Natural Re-
sources, the State Department f
Education and Ohio State Uni
versity.
A special feature of the
course, which extends from June
IA to July %, will be the annual
Nutrition Conference, which
brings together conservation
leaders, members of the medical
profession and other interested
in nutrition from many parts of
the nation. The theme of this
conference is to be "Our Ma
tons Health Lies in the Soil"
Ollie Fink, recently elevated
to the executive secretaryship of
the Friends of the Land, is direc-
tor of the Teachers Laboratory,
and may be reached at Conotton,
Ohio, with inquiries, during the

Price Control
Continued from Page /.

or more. But the issue was a
matter of high humor and loud
laughter to some congressman.
The first vote was II to II
against exempting watermelons.
Riley asked for a teller count.
The vote was 83 yes, 70 no.
Representative Morrison, en-
couraged, asked for exemption
for strawberries, also peaches,
cherries and raspberries. This
was defeated. Then came fur
pelts. Representative Hoffman
of Michigan, who started dis
cussing fur pelts and ended up
with diapers, wanted them given
the same consideration bestowed
on Watermelons.
Then another amendment to
free all items not used In the
governments cost of living in
dex. There are 81 items in the
index; OPA controls prices on
5000 commodities.
The payoff on low comedy,
however, occurred when Repre-
sentative Hinshaw asked ap-
proval for an amendment that
would bar the government from
issuing ration tokens with a di-
ameter of less than 0,9OO of an
inch. HinshaW's amendment de-
manded that the government re-
imburse all owners of slot ma
chimes which were damaged by
use of tokens with a diameter of
less than 0.900.
1t was funny, the idea of the
taxpayer paying off every own
er of a gambling machine,
coca-cola dispenser, pay phone
or an amusement park turnstile
wherever anyone had delib-
erately or accidentally used a
ration token. But it wasn't so
funny in view of the fact that
this amendment got 39 votes in
its support. That was the mood
of congress in passing the price
control bill which affects every
American wage Garner and con-
sumner and everything that he
buys, wears, uses and rents.

Workers Have
S+0ke i'm Little
Business

CHICAGO, June II (FP)-Be-
cause various racketeer outfits
assuming to speak for small bust
ness have attacked labor, Fed
Grated Press asked Chairman
Maury Maverick of the Smaller
War Plants Corp. if there was
any necessary antagonism be-
tween the two groups,
IN e ce ssary antagoniSm?"
echoed Maverick, incredulously.
Haven't you heard there's a war
on? The only necessary antag-
onism l know of in this country
is that aimed at Hitler and TOTO.
"We solicit and encourage the
cooperation of labor groups to
stimulate subcontracting with
small plants and to get produc-
ton ideas channeled through to
the benefit of small business. We
maintain close and cordial rela-
tions with both AFL and CIO.
"Of course it isn't the job of
little business to go out and or
ganize labor. That will be done
through the CUTS and the will of
the workers.
Workers however have
stake in little business. In
town dominated by one big bust
ness, labor takes it on the chin
if something goes wrong with
that corporation But in a town
with 25 small businesses, if one
goes broke, there are still "a
others giving employment"
