 Take two seemingly dissimilar personalities-the characteristically British Ronald Colman and the Chicago-bred, dynamic Arch Oboler combine their talents on the air. and you get NBC's Everything for the Boys" which reaches listeners every Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.
 You'd think the suave and de- bonair Colman and the casually dressed Oboler would be as far apart as the poles in their back grounds and in the roads thew fol- lowed. But their early careers parallel each other in surprising ways.
 At sixteen, Colman dreamed of being an engineer, and in his spare moments played in amateur theatri- calls. Oboler studied engineering in Chicago, and even when he was ten he was beginning to write stories.
 Once Obler turned to professional prize fighting to keep himself going, while he wrote and tried to sell his radio plays. And Colman. as a youth, held down an assistant book keepers job in his native England at $250 a week.
 Now Colm n headlines NBC's Everything for the Boys" while Oboler writes and. produces the dramatic series. Latest in the Col- man-Oboler collaboration is "The House Live h." their Memorial Day presentation, via NEG, with Dinah Shore as guest.
 That reference to $2.50 week gives me a nostlagic twinge, for the first job ever held was that of a very junior bookkeepers assistant in the stockbroking firm of Laur- ence A. Waldron & Co.,. Dublin, Ire land. and my pay came to about the same amount. if you figure i've dollars to the pound sterling. But 1t seemed quite lot when I re- ceived it; for prior to that had been working as an apprentice m the same office at exactly nothing per Imagine totting up rows and rows of figures where four farthings equalled a penny, and twelve pennies equalled a shilling. and twenty shillings equalled a pound. And the nights I had to stay late. For there sometimes might be an error of farthing in figures totalling thousands of pounds. An, glorious days Of youth. The heck they were!

 Although the majority of' civilian defense activities have been sharply curtailed to date 1t is felt that des- pite the progress of the war in favor of the Allied forces and the minim- izing of home-front danger there remains the danger of sabotage if only in a reprisal form. Although some consideration had been given to curtailment of the guard force on the various waterways and pipe lines, federal directiyeS make 1t mandatory that the protective sys- tenn be retained. On condition that the wars progress during next year should clearly indicate the feasibil- ity of discontinuing the system the appropriation may be transferred for other uses. at that time.

 Get Poy Upped

Boston, Sept. 22 - (U.P) 6y a 5-4 split decision, the New Eng land War Labor Board today award- ed a 2 1-2 cent per hour pay rise to 6l employees of the Brockton Gas Light Company of Brockton "tc correct a gross intra-plant inequity'' The rise is retroactive to March l.
 Climaxing three stormy sessions of the board. three labor members and two public members voted to grant the increase while one public and three industry members dis sented.
 The dispute between the company ond Local 273, Utility Workers Or ganizing Committee (C1O) stemmed from the fact that while company firemen and oilers, represented by the AFL, received l2 l-2 cent wage hike late last year, only a flve- cent boost was granted the CIO workers of the same company.
 The CIO Union charged discriln- ination against its members.
 Dissenting members of the board recognized the inequity but contend cd that stabilization regulations would not allow its full correction because current wage rates of the CIO workers already were. in most cases, above the minimum of ap- pgnvahle yatas in tha sas tnansAs~.
