cannot be correctly called an American custom, being more or less universal. While l was in the Victory Yard, I listened to more criticisms of everything from the managerial policies to the flat ness of the soda, climaxed by declarations of intentions to quit, by people who would as soon have given up their right arms as their jobs.
 A lot of people deplore this practice but not I, because l maintain that 1t is an exercise of a right that is purely and special
 ly American. If you tried in Ger
 many, speaking of Der Feurher the way we frequently do of our perennial president, you would find yourself fifteen minutes later perforated with bullet holes, and
 unfit for much of anything but straining orange juice. Complain
 ing doesn't cost anything and of- ten results in an ultimate better ment of conditions So go ahead, brother, you'll feel better If you get 1t off your chest. Ask the man who was pinned under the Mack truck, if you don't believe me.
 ODDS AND ENDS: George Ring, former Main Yard pipefitter, is now company inspector in the Victory Yard. MT. Ring, known as the Sage of the Third Shift in the days of that deceased institution, should prove an excellent choice for the post .. Add to the list of nice red-headed bosses "Red' Martin of the V-yard Electrical Shop. MT. Martin besides being well-read and an intelligent con- versationalist, is rated a square, straight from the shoulder boss, by the folks who work for him :. Gort Wilbur Is now at Ford Ord, awaiting overseas call, and has snagged himself meanwhile a nice Set-up as sports and feature editor on the camp paper Did you hear about the soldier, riding with his gal in the rain, who kept ask ing her If they could park, and she kept shaking her head? After they'd gone sixty-five miles he found she's got her nose caught in the windshield wiper .. Or the girl with buck teeth who was the only woman in America who could eat tomato through ten- his racket and a sandich through venetian blind "Whitey" Van Gelder has left the Wizard tinshop to join the armed forces. His harem will certainly miss him.
 FEMININE FLUFF: If you want to send your favorite serviceman one of those waterproof, non-mag- netic, shockproof watches that they are all SO crazy for, you can't do better than at Kinney's in Mys- tic, where you can get one for $5O.5O. |. Kresge's little folks sun suits for only 79 cents wash like a dream and come in luscious stripes and chambrays At Car rolls Cut Rate you can get cartons of Camels on Mondays or Tues days, most other brands all week. at less than $1.60 . Louis Phil llppe cake makeup is only 49 cents a cake and is as good as the usual dollar or more variety, you can get 1t at Vars Drug Store in westerly, for one. They have su- mint patiies, too, for o9 cents, If remember correctly, which is reasonable indeed for fhnco 1oro vooc%aI

Resigns

Elwood Acker, who has been connected with the staff of the Sub for the past two years, both as editorial writer and "Inqulring Photographer" has handed in his resignation as a member of the Suf staff.
 "Tobe" Gas he Is familiarly known) has given uncomplaining- ly of his time to his work on the paper, although he has many out side interests, and he will be greatly missed.

O1 Lu6 D6I1OCTdClC OOIlVSllCAOl all was set for a wonderful eve ming of entertainment; a new inter- viewer, an ardent social worker, singers-and your Sub host, Tobe Acker. Although 1t was postponed, Last Thursday did prove that the programs are better a2d better ev- cry time.
 While attending rehearSaAS at WNLC studios, l was fortunate enough to acquire time for state ments from all of the cast present, as we'll as from the several guests, who seemed to enjoy every mo- ment of their stay. There were for example, Virginia Castagna, cousin of our blues singer, Rose DeMarco. Virginia appealed to me somehow. Her features implied Sanish de- scent, completely concealing her Italian ancestry.
 Surprisingly enough, Rose De- Marco diffused her natural ner- vousness when she rehearsed You Are Always in My Heart" and Il Surrender, Dear" Incidentally, Rose is doing her share to entertain the boys at the U. s. O. in New London. No doubt they appreciate the devotion of time she spares for the boys perhaps making light the burden of some fellow through the medium of a song Good luck, Rose, keep at 1t, and you will reach the top.
 Miss Florence Christian, a tall young lady for all of her fifteen years, sang Long Ago and Far Away" in an extremely sweet voice. Her mother and dad were present at the rehearsalS, and claimed that Florence does remark ably well without any musical ac- compartment. AS a matter of fact, this was the first time that she did sing with accompaniment. When asked if she thought Gene Kelley topped Sinatra, who, incl dentally, is her favorite crooner, she replied emphatically, 'Why, of course"
 Although Florence is so young, her like of light opera and the lessons in voice she takes will pull her through a strenuous time; upon hearing this sweet voice, we can be sure success awaits this ambitious young miss.
 No, I do not know too much about the fellow who does so good a job of accompanying our singers. Of course you know to whom I refer. Harry Birenbaum is the name. Harry does not have the op- portunity to come for rehearsals, and somehow your columnist does not have an equal chance to come for the actual broadcast, therefore missing out on speaking to Harry. Rest assured that there will be more information with reference to him very soon.
 When I first met Sam Bongo, I immediately saw the display of perseverance in his character. His excessive interest in the boys of Waterford has brought about new life for many a fellow in that locality, an entirely new environ ment for its residents, since there is an obvious decrease of vandal- ism in the neighborhood.
 Sam, with the aid of his wife, and 6 few fellows, namely, Monroe Beckwith, Ray Bernsten, Al liar vey, Bob MacKelvie and Sam Bas- set, has provided the boys with

There seems to be no limit to scientific enthusiasm over the fu- ture of the FEATHER. Serious at- tempts are now in progress to turn feathers into human food. Some scientists explain that one found of feathers contains as much protein as five pounds of steak. (We'n still settle for the steak.)

condition which several veterans organizations claim is wrong with most benefit laws passed by Con- gress. Nothing is automatic
 Aside from a few things like dis charge pa, most benefits provided charge pay, most benefits provided The burden of proof is on the dis abIed and the discharged.
 Perhaps there's no better way to explain the situation than to cite a single case. This is a letter from d veteran of both wars. In the Navy in World War I, he received an hon orable discharge. Shortly al5er Pearl Harbor, he read that the Navy bad Iy needed electricians. He enlisted and in spite of being oyer age was accepted. With only a minimum re- uesher course, he was shipped to sea. In five months after his enlist ment, he was battling au oil slick in the icy waters ol the Atlantic. The result. pneumonia-and after weeks in a hospital was given a medical discharge.
 Having worked for himself before enlistment, he has no Job to so back to. His health still is precarious. He hasn't been able to find another Job.
 Here is an example Of misunoer- standing and, perhaps, some Injus- Jice But the yiJaI point is that there are laws which specifically provide for thIs mans case.
 Having a superficial Knowledge Iof those laws, l would advise this man Iirst to go to his local Yet erans' Administration office. F h c chances are that he only will be

INTRICATE PATTERN

So many combinations OF soil
variation causes were possible
that an intricate pattern OF sedi-
mentation was bound 70 result.
While there are some deep and con-
sistent layers CT heavy soil that
there are continuous over con-
siderable areas, and few sandy
strata that can be followed in
ditch banks for many hundreds OF
feet. the more common condition
is cne Of soil variability from acre
to acre.
A University of California bull
letin issued in 1886 reports that
sell surveys have indicated that
there are four principal soil series
in the valley, they are, the I'M
perial. Meloland, Holtville and
Rositas.
The Imperial series consists of
a fine-textured surface soil under
lain with a slowly pervious sub
soil of similar character. In the
Meloland series the surface soil
is pervious and relatively coarse
textured but is underlain with a
heavy subsoil very similar in
character to that of the Imperial
series. The Holtville series con-
sists of a fine-textured surface
soil underlain with a pervicus,
coarse -textured. or sandy subSoil.
The surface soils of this series are
very similar to those of the I'M
perial series. The Rositas series
consists of a loose. coarse-textur-
ed, pervious soil and subsoil. In
general, the soils of the valley
contain considerable lime and lit
