LAKE HURON by Fred Lam
don (Bobbs-Merrill; $3.50.
It was inevitable that some pub
Usher should contrive historical
series based on American lakes,
since the Rivers of America Sc
ries and others prepared the way.
And a publisher has. The first
book is Lake Huron" and its
author is Fred Landon.
Huron is a good beginning. Ex-
cepting Lake Superior, it is the
most mysterious and the most ro-
mantle of the Great Lakes and,
being one Of our boundaries, it
makes possible an analgamation
of Canadian and United States his
tory that is useful; most Of our
history books are trimmed off at
our borders as cook Trims the
dough from a covered pie.
Huron's history, so far as the
white man is concerned, began in
1915 when Samuel de Champlain
first saw it. From that year
through the war of 1872 the lake
was never in a state of complete
political balance, and even after
1872 there were disturbances. Its
Indian problems were much like
those of other territories, but there
were others that hinged on the
feet that sometimes Britain and
ourselves were both counting the
red man, who neatly played one
off against the other.
Mr.. Landon makes a good job
of his history, large part Of
which is wholly unfamiliar TO the
average reader. But he does not
stop with history; navigation en-
Huron is a big and an important
subject and he gives it it's due.
from the birchbark canoes and the
bateaus of the voyageurs right
down to the 600-foot ore and gram
carriers which look like planks
with fungi on each end, and can
navigate, so their masters say
any damp ground. Actually. many
do sail channels so shallow there
is no more than six inches of wa
ter under their keels.
And Mr.. Landcn has a snarp
eye for color. In this department
his best discovery is one Mrs
Anna Jameson an Englishwoman
who could not get along with her
husband and forgot the matter in
travel. The spectacle of Mrs.
Jameson setting out from York

NEED FOR SKILLED WORKERS

A LARGE INCREASE in skiled-worker person
"A mel for industry will be demanded in the near
future says a survey report published by the u.
s. Office of Education, Federal Security Agency.
The demand has grown up out of the new de,
velopments in eectronics, air transportation and
automobile design, as well as the creation OF I'M
proved materials for textile, food and construction
uses, the survey states Modern industry now
needs 5 trained workers for every professional
engineer The needed men fall into four cate
gores: engineering and science aides in special
ties such as drafting and laboratory work. who re-
ouire year or more of training; inspectors, VINO
can be trained in less time production and MAIN
tenance supervisors, who need experience plus
training; and statesmen, accountants and similar
workers whose efficiency is greatly increased II
they have had training added to their experience,
FSA reports.
The survey recommended labor and industrial
cooperative planning for local training programs,
the establishment of credentia that can become
accepted in industry as evidence of skllled-Work
training, and more opportunities for study I'M
which the worker would spend part-time, in train
ing school and part in the related industrial work
Organized labor has shown that 1T recognizes
the need for increased training OF skilled workers,
especially in new industries notable example be
ing the electronics school recently opened in Mil
waukee by the International Brotherhood OF Elec-
trical Workers.

SERVICEMEN AND UNIONS

A N OFFICER attached to one Of the important
headquarters overseas writes: There is lot
of talk about some Unions and some Union lead
ers, but by far the greatest majority OF the men
here do not want to injure the Unions. They
know very well that the Unions are fighting their
battle at home to keep decent wages. They also
know d well that, after the war, the only hope
of maintaining decent wages lies in good, strong
Labor Unions. The men are going to JOIN the
Unions when come back. Some few have other
interests and some don't know the score, but you
would be surprised if you could hear most OF them
talk"
Yank, the weekly magazine that goes to the
fighting men overseas, recently sent one OF its
writer's to go through the war plants and write
the truth for the fighting men. He wrote:
ut isn't interesting to read about normal
hardworking guy like Frank Haney Ga war work
er he nterviewed) but it's a lot more important
if you want to know the truth about things at
home.
"The whole picture explains why the Hanleys
and millions of other worker families like
them aren't shooting their wad on expensive
pretties and night-cub carryings-on. They can't
afford to- Their incomes are higher than before
the war but it doesn't put them in the millionaire
playboy class by long shot And the cost of
living has risen as fast incomes, maybe faster.
Working in war industries, they know war
is going on. They don't buy Bonds because they're
good investments or give blood to the Red Cross
because they like its color Frank has two older
brothers who saw active sea duty in the Navy. l1eI

war as a CT in New Guinea

Labor issues this New Year warning to the
enemy-that in the months ahead the soldiers OF
production will back up the fighting forces OF the
United Nations with the greatest output OF
planes, tanks, guns and ships in history.
This constantly increasing flow of war pro-
duction is the best evidence that America grows
ever stronger while our enemies grow progressive

final victory cannot be long delayed The Nazis

In order to assure lasting peace, the American

Nazi methods which breed only hate and STRIFE.
Such methods must not be practlced by the

To create jobs for all IN America after the wal

among the functional groups which make up our
economic life. Labor, industry and agriculture
must work together with the government tol

best be strengthened by developing unity of action

ACLU JOINS LEGAL FIGHT

GREAT RESPONSIBILITY ON LABOR

WE OF labor have an immense responsibility at
" this time. Our responsibility is the greater
because compulsory manpower controls have been
repudiated and the task of helping to supply
workers to jobs by voluntary methods has been
left squarely our shoulders
Our immediate duty is twofold CD For those
Of us who have essential war jobs our RESPONSE
bility is to stay on the job and give our best
work. Even if this means sacrifice the cost is
small compared to what the boys are giving in
battle. (2) For those Of us whose skills are not
being used to the utmost in war work, our duty is
to get from our international unions and the En-
ployment Service or Manpower offices information
on where workers are needed in war work and
move to these war-vital jobs if we possibly can.
The union has duty as well as individual work

GOOD IDEA

WHEN Paducah, KY, purchased two blocks of
property recently for living war memorial
in the form of a municipal recreation center, the
action typified trend which many cities, towns
and villages are following in planning memorials
in honor of their sons and daughters who died in
the present war.
Municipal officials and citizens in growing
numbers feel that living" memorial in the form
of an athletic field, a municipal auditorium or a
community center would better present COM
munity's honor and respect for its servicemen
than a monument or some similar memorial
Reports to the International City Managers
Association from score of cities indicate this
feeling on the part of municipal officials and civic
leaders, a feeling bostered in many instances by
opinions of veterans organizations.
Why would not this be a good idea for organ
ized labor to push? Certainly if the war dead had
anything to say about it, they would vote for a
that would help the living, by contribut
ing to their recreation and enjoyment of life.

HENRY KAISER SPEAKS OUT

| ABOR CAN endorse the doctrine pronounced
recently by Henry Kaiser This is what he
said:
Two world wars have driven home the truth
that no nation can prosper at the expense OF
other nations. We can and will compete but that
competition must never again destroy. America
know that wealth is no longer the privilege of one
nation or of few people. 1t is the right of all.
In light of this truth every productive capacity
must be utilized. There should be no idle re-
sources 1t is time to carry the spirit of under
standing and cooperation beyond our own
borders"

Figure it out: $500 for an eight-hour day, or S26
