but had been making some excep-
tions. In the future it was said,
there will be no exceptions.
Most OF the hotels said they had
been limiting bath and face towels
under instructions from the area
VINO which had a goal OF one face
and one bath towel a day. One
hotel said, however, that it had
been giving two of each. Some of
the hotels had been changing
shower curtains at least twice a
week, or whenever they looked
soiled. From now on, they said.
shower curtains will hang for a
week.
In all the hotels room service
has been dWindling as the man
power situation grew more acute.
One hotel said it was employing
a number of men under As and
wanted to know if they should be
discharged. The new standards tell
area VINO Offices to instruct hotels
to substitute" women, elderly men
or handicapped workers for able
bodied males under As in such Jobs
as elevator operators, bellhops
doormen and front Office workers
unless they can show in specific
instances that such adjustments are
not possible.
The answer to the hotels ques-
ton Was not Immediately forth
coming. National VINO said the
hotels should be "encoura ged" to
hire older workers and women but
added 1t was up to the area VINO
Office to decide whether the Younger
mn should be discharged The
area Office said it had not received
the field instructions and therefore
could make no decisions.
One hotel executive said he as
sumed the standards meant that
Older workers should be hired to
hll vacancies. He said diScharging
the younger men would create union
complications.

dignity. I'VE went to Elkton and

We'll. then. you've nothing To

She wasn't at all sure, since Jim
was not officially dead.
"Will II" Andrea frightened.
I'm sure you will. and there's
talk about an Army allotment bill
going through. You didn't get any
money for the last two months be-
fore he before now. That will
be due you, and anything Jim left"
How much does IL cost to have

Andrea looked as if the weight
of the world had been lifted from

We can even have little lined

for the baby. I'll make it up to you
some day. AS soon as I'm able to
go back to work, I'll get good job
and give it all back to you. Oh.

Long through the night Beth lay
awake, wondering why Andrea
didn't see that $500 which would
pay for a baby's coming and his
little clothes would not buy a roof
and food for its mother during the
long months, nor that she would
never be able to repay any debt as
long as she had baby to support

nights that Beth Kinnan was to lie
awake. searching for way to take
care Of Andrea and Jim's baby.

Six Records
Threatened

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. IS Six
meet records will be threatened
here Saturday, Feb. 10, when the
track teams of Michigan and Notre
Dame clash for the 14th time since
1900. The meet, to be held In Yost
Field house, will open az 8 p. m,
EWT.
Records in danger are those for
the 40, $50. mile, low hurdles, pole
vault and broad jump. The Wolver-
ines, on the basis Of their smash
ing 93-11 win over Western Mich.
-igan as compared to the s2-51 vic.
tory scored over the Broncos by
the Irish, will be definite favorite
for team honors. Notre Dame has
beaten Michigan only once In the
previous Is track meets between
the schools.
The last Michigan-Notrs Dame
meet, held here IN 1942, resulted In
a 5S-46 win for the Wolverines but
the Irish have dropped only one
dual collegiate decision since then.
That was to Marquette by a three
point margin two weeks ago when
the Irish split their squad to send
a number OF stars to the Millrose
Games at New York.
l. Notre Dame standouts are Ralph
Pohland and Frank Martin in the
middle distances, John Yonaker IN
the shot put and Phil Anderson In
the pole vault. Pohlsnd Is q Marine
transfer from Minnesota and one OF
the best collegiate half-milers. He
was second in the Big Ten out
door meet last year.
Martin won the half mile and
two mile against Western while
Yonaker tossed the shot As feet
1112 inches against Marquette. In
the latter meet Anderson vaulted
13 feet.
In the half Pohland will face John
Roxborough, Bob and Ross Hume
and Dick Barnard of Michigan while
in the mile Martin will clash with
the Hume twins. Meet records OF
1851 for the $50 and 4:19.l in the
mile may easily fall. Bob Ufer OF
the wolverines will take a crack
at the meet mark of 1872 in the
quarter while Elmer Swanson seeks
to better :07.5 in the Jews. The pole
vault record Of IL feet six inches
may go while the broad jumpers
will be aiming at standard OF %
feet 10 inches. Bob Segula in the
vault and Carl Nichols in the broad
jump are Michigan's leading en-
tries for the events.
Ufer's appearance will be his
only one here this winter. Last week
he won 1.-THE Hollis GOO at the Bos.
ton "A Games. The meet itself
will be the last here for the VOL.
yerines until the outdoor season
opens.
