Two cars had turned over right in front of our gate and four people were lying in the street. One woman had a deep cut in her arm, two men had broken legs, and another severe decorations of the face. But thank heaven, l re- membered exactly what you had taught me. So bent over and put my head between my knees-AND I DIDN'T FAINT?'

 It goes like this: bought batch of baking powder and baked a batch of biscuits. I brought big basket of biscuits back to the bakery and baked basket of big biscuits. Then took the big bas- ket of biscuits and the basket of big biscuits and mixed the big bis- cults with the basket of biscuits that was next to the big basket and put bunch of biscuits from the basket into a box. Then I took the box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer and biscuit basket and brought the basket of bis cults and the box of mixed biscuits and the biscuit mixer to the bak- cry and opened a tin of sardines.

EOT Qu1LG SOIuc I1II4S1 Ouu NA11- ningham, our editor, and the Sub staff, have been looking forward to a day when time could be ac- Quired for a radio program which would lend additional glory to the Sub. We'll, now we have 1t. That IS, of course, the time at WNLC, and an outline of the first pro- gram.
 With a hand from Joe Kane, Frank Allaire, Gus Yering, Elwood Acker, under the supervision of our editor, we have outlined a good schedule for our first pro- gram. Guess it is all right to let you in on bit of it.
 In addition to original compo- sltions by John Ferguson, the Misses Beatrice Fisher and Nancy Holland, feature writer and society editor, respectively, will be inter viewed along with our cheerful sports editor, Joe Kane and our associate editor, Gus Yering. If possible, some type of gift will be awarded at each program by the sponsor.
 We are quite sure that the pro- gram will be successful one in- deed, as considerable efforts are being made to promote it's success. Many interviews with workers from the yards as we'll as clerks from the various departments, are In store for future programs.
 Incidentally, a word to all of our girls who could be very in- terested i1l a 'pin-up' contest. Be- cause our staff is quite busy with ever so many write-ups, plus their regular work, I suggest that all young ladies who desire to enter the contest, get in touch with a member of the staff or mail to them a photo which is to be en- tered. There is many an attrac- tive Miss or Mrs. about the E. B. who stands a chance for the title of 'E. B. Pin-Up Girl" Come on fellows! How about entering your ideal glamour girls picture? Then again, maybe she is just "cute." The title of Pin-Up covers any branch of feminine attractiveness.
 We are not sure as yet, but conversations indicate the possibil- ity of the lucky winner to enter an outside contest, which means, ot course, more competition. Hoping

 How about 1t girls? Would you consider the married life of Be- atrice Kay a successful one?

as America has served as the arsenal
of democracy during the conflict, it
will be called upon to help rebuild and
reconstruct the cities of foreign lands
laid waste by savagery and brutality.
He added:

of domestic conditions of which we

own beloved land for a united labor
movement. | am one of those who

to bring it about"
Mr.. Meany, who also made brief
acceptance talk, warned of the seri-
BUSINESS of the problems labor must
face in the coming year and added:
"There is one point on which |
think we can all agree-that is, that
the American Federation of Labor,
in facing this vital job, should do so
as a united organization and, per-
haps what is more important, that we
face the job as a thoroughly con-
sistent, sound, American institution"

TOPICS IN
THE NEWS

General Eisenhower has reported
that 5000 pounds of ammunition are
being poured into German fortifca-
tions every minute.
Six million rounds of artillery
fire and two million rounds of NOR
tar fire are being hurled at the
Germans every month.
"Today we are firing ammunition
that we would not have used until
next February or March, if we had
been content with slower advances,
with less crushing victories, or if we
had been ready to sacrifice soldiers
to save materials" he said.
In capturing Aachen, the First
Army used 100000 rounds of 105-
nm ammunition in two weeks, "and
even so, the reduction of that place
was delayed because of shortage of
ammunition" the general revealed.
"Now we are hammering at the
massive crust of armor surrounding
the German fortress. Appalling con-
ditions of rain, fog, snow and mud
make difficult the employment of our
air forces and the maneuver of our
tanks, even Of our foot soldiers"
"But wretched weather cannot
stop artillery shells More than ever
before, we need ammunition"
The general declared that he owed
it to every American soldier Gin this
greatest fighting force that America
has ever put into the field to urge
upon you increased production of
signal equipment, winter
engineering materials, vital
instruments and again
always ammunition"
81 want more supplies than we
are getting" he declared, "and
think the soldier wants more than
he is getting, both now and in the
future"
"To get peace now we've got to
fight like hell for it. Now let's do it,"
"Unless everyone all the way
through the nation - those at the
front and those at home-keeps on
the job everlastingly and with
mounting intensity, we are only
postponing the day of victory"
"The pressure must go up and con-
tinue to increase so that its highest
point is reached on the day Germany
The enemy must be hit with
everything we have, and we must
continue to hit him until he breaks"
In appealing to American labor and
for increased produc-
ton, General Eisenhower said, "We
are well aware that this calls for
effort on your part"
'But you have already accom-
plished miracles in war production.
We know that when you under
stand that your increased work will
shorten the war and save thousands
Of lives, you will perform this new
and even greater miracle"

Projects Turned
Down By Senate

Standard Railroad Labor Organiza-
tions last week won another battle
against two "pork barrel" canal prof.
ects, which have bobbed in and out of
Congress for the last two decades or
more.
One is a proposed $75,000,000 canal
to connect the Beaver and Mahoning
rivers in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Nearly all communities i'm the area
have opposed it as raid" on the
taxpayers for the benefit solely Of
two big steel companies in the
Youngstown area-Republic Steel and
the Youngstown Sheet and Tube.
Rail unions likewise fought the
project, citing not only the waste of
taxpayers money, but the prospect
that the waterway would destroy jobs
of many workers on railroads that
now adequately serve the area.
AS in past years, the Beaver-Ma-
honing proposal was tackled on to a
general rivers and harbors bill in the
Senate Commerce Committee, with
out hearings on the specific project.
However, when the bill reached the
Senate floor alert legislators succeed
ed in having the scheme knocked out.
The same treatment was meted out
to another $75,000,000 "raid"--in this
instance for canal to connect the
Tombigbee river, which runs through
Mississippi and Alabama, with the
Tennessee river and thence to the
Ohio.
Promoters Of that venture, which
also was widely opposed by many
communities in the South as well as
the rail unions, managed to slip the
project through the House as part
Of the rivers and harbors bill but the
Senate pruned it out. This project
has been hit on the head every time
it bobbed up in the last quarter cen
tury.

Union officials have charged that
Selective Service issued this interpre-

the law, which actually provides far
less job protection than is contained
in union contracts. Even more serious
is the fact that the Interpretation is

Criticized By Business Groups
Up to now, the United States

American Short Line Railroad Asso-
citation and other employer groups
have opposed the Interpretation as a
peril to harmonious labor relations

However, the N. A. M. always bit

opposite stand, evidently hoping to
stir up service men against organized
workers in ord ar to smash unions.

gifts must be mailed no later than
December first. 1t is wise to keep that
in mind first Second, remember that
more and more people have pockets
bulging with more and more money
than ever before, and meager stocks
in stores are diminishing as fast as
they are received So, the old brom-
ide, "Do Your Christmas Shopping

these are being made in this country

rubber which cannot be used on any

High Employment
Level. HO Finds

Montreal ILNS).-World war COLI
tinues to keep workers everywhere on
/ the job.
Quarterly statistics on employment
and unemployment released here by
the international Labor Office dis
closes that high level of employ
ment is being maintained throughout
the world.
Job Indexes Drop Slightly
The figures show decline in the
number of applicants for work in
Great Britain and Canada. In Britain
the July total of wholly unemployed
including casual workers, was 62,59S,
the lowest on record. Canadian appli-
cants for work in July totaled 57,2O1,
some Is per cent below the figure for
July, 1943. National Industrial Con-
ference Board statistics for the
United States show the number of
persons at work in August was 144.8
per cent higher than the total labor
force as estimated for normal condi-
tions.
In contrast to the unemployment
figures, employment indexes show a
slight falling off in some countries.
In South Africa, Canada, the United
States and Australia, for example,
the latest figures are below the high
points reached previously. 1t is point
ed out by lilo officials, however, that,
since these statistics generally ex-
clude persons in the armed forces,
where the drain for military service
has been especially heavy, the indexes
may show losses on that account.
The figures show the index of in
dustrial employment in Argentina for
July was 134.9, highest point on rec
ord. In Switzerland, the present level
of industrial activity as measured by
workers employed is slightly below
the high points Of 1941 and 1912,
while in Sweden the employment in
dex continues at about the 1943 level
with slight variations from month to
month.
