Meat Stew Garnishes

THE ATTRACTIVENESS Of
p meat stew depends not only
upon cooking the meat and
Vegetables properly but also
upon the way II IS served. This.

variety INTO the meal. Meat and
EntabloS may be arranged on

The appearance may be i'm

Vanishing
Bachelor
BY HELEN ROWLAND

THE BACHELOR is becom-
ing an extinct species. Most
men either are married or have
been married-or VIII be mar
ried, although they don't know
it,
OF course, there are still
some born bachelors, some self
made bachelors and some who
have had bachelorhood thrust
upon them. But we seldom
speak of them as bachelors.
We ask, us he single, is he
available or is he a wolf ?"
But the sclffmade bachelor,
or single-footeL we shall have
always with " He got that
way by, making a pet of HIM
self all his life. He just doesn't
need any girl 10 help him love
himself or coddle himself.
HE DOESN'T even want a
girl 10 mother Him. lie can be
a mother 10 himself; and he
spends practically all Of his time
trying 10 find out what Sonny"
wants next.
He would never let any fe-
male stand between him and a
steak with fried onions or
glass Of beer; and he wouldn't
give rs a good nights rest or
an afternoon of golf for the
most romantic adventure.
Not all confirmed bachelors
are of this variety, as I've said.
There Is the man who never
married because he had TO sup
port a doting mother or a pair
of sisters. And there is the
man with a tragedy-the man
whose one love died. Or the
man whose ambition kept him
working too hard for him to
have time or thought for mar
riage. And the man who spent
all his money and time doing
good for others And the man
who was too shy.
NO, NOT every bachelor is
his own fault. Yet even in
England, where there has al
ways been a man shortage, the
sclf-made bachelor has always
existed here and there. Some
times he is content and cheer
ul-and sometimes he is sorry
for himself. Usually the latter,
because he has placed his love
in the wrong bank, where il
yields no interest. The only
love that pays dividends is the
love you give away.
But, cheer up, I think that
with the end Of the war these
Self-made bachelors Will soon
become extinct. Just one Of
the Vanishing Americans" Get
ting married is so popular now
that there may be no bachelors

Figure inventory
Prelude to Shining

ASIDE FROM the fancy

perhaps, add ! inch TO the bust
measurement and mend her
posture.
This estimate is all 10 the
good. Your pal in the mirror IS
a general reflection of the devil
alton from an Ann Sheridan
figure, but the tape measure IS
much more accurate. Figures
don't lie. The mirror doesn't
either-but it's often a case OF
wishful looking.

There is no exact figure for
this measurement. II depends
on glands and avoirdupois. The
curve of the bust can exceed
the chest by /, 2 or 3 inches.
But the measurement is affected
by weight, posture. and skin and
muscle tone.

Bridgeport AFL Favors Connors, Brian McMahon
Mayhew OK But Candidacy Now Not Helpful To
 Labor, Committee Says

The A.F.L. Non-Partisan Political Committee of Greater Bridgeport has voted to support Brian McMahon for U. s. Senator and Margaret Connors for U. s. Representative, according to an announcement by J. Lawrence O'Toole, chairman of the Committee Candidates for other offices are being studied by the committee, O'Toole said.
 The decision was reached after a careful study of the voting rec ords of the incumbents, Senator Danaher and Representative Luce, and of the public record and qualifications of the candidates op- posing them, O'Toole said.
 "As declared in the resolution deal ing with the incumb bents, adopted by the recent convention of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor, neither can rightfully be called a true friend of labor on the basis of his or her voting record" O'Toole continued.
 The chairman stated on behalf of his committee that its members agree with the characterization of the Socialist candidate for Congress, w. Stanley Mayhew, by the executive council of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, that he has always been a champion of social and labor legisla- tion, but believe his present candidacy is not helpful to labor, since vote for him is a vote for Rep. Luce.

State Committee Cites Resolution
 Against Baldwin
Was Omitted From Legislative Records Issued By Conn Federation Of Labor-AF.L. Political Groups
 Active In All Parts Of State

A resolution unanimously passed by the 58th annual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, blaming Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin and the Republican party for the fail ure of the 1943 General Assembly to enact State Labor Relations Act, was mot included in the record of Gov. Baldwin, recently issued by the State Federation.
 This was the essence of a mo- ton unanimously adopted by the Connecticut Federation of Labor NOn-P Partisan Political Action Com mittee, which met at the New Ha- ven Labor Temple Monday eve- ming. The committee, which was appointed by State Federation President Timothy M. Collins, act ing upon instructions of the last GEL. Convention, instructed its secretary, Joseph P. Cleary, Local l9l, Teamsters, Bridgeport, to mo- tify Federation Secretary John J. Egan, of the failure of the records he prepared to include the anti Baldwin resolution. The text of this resolution follows:
 Whereas, the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor in convention has for several years adopted as its major piece of legislation, State Labor Re- lations Act,
 Whereas, the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor has pressed for its en- actment in law at the 1888, 1941, and 1943 sessions of the Legislature with out success.
 Whereas, in 1889 it was the claim of members of the Legislature that labor itself could not decide on any one bill. In 1941 it was claimed by both parties that the other was re- sponsible for its failure of passage. In 1942 it was claimed that the time was not just right.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That it is the opinion of this convention that the responsibility for the de- feat of he State Labor Relations Act, as submitted by the officers of the Connecticut Federation of La bor in the 1943 sessions of the General Assembly, be and hereby is placed upon the Republican Party, and upon Governor Baldwin because, despite his campaign promises in which he stated that he advocated the adoption of a State Labor Relations Act, when it became time to declare himself to the Republican leaders in the As sembly, he stated that he felt that this was not the appropriate time to pass such a law, and that if labor pushed for the passage, that re- strictive legislation might result. This statement gave the Republi- can leaders in the Assembly the opportunity to hide under the cover of the Governors words and vote against the bill, thereby killing it.
 F'Be 1t further resOIUed, That sUhen the records are sent out dur ing the Republican campaign Of I944, the members Of the Anleri- can Federation of Labor in this State be SO informed"

AFL Membership Sets New Record High, 6,8O6,9O3
Figure Does Not Include 1,5OO, ,OOO Now In U. s.
 Armed Forces

WASHINGTON (LPA) = The dues paying membership of AFL unions reached the all-time high of 6,8O6,oO3 on August 31, of this year, AFL secretary-treasurer George e Meaney announced here today.
 This represents a gain of more than 242,OOO over August, 1943, and does not include an estimated million and half AFL members now serving in the armed forces, and therefore not paying union dues.
 We hope that by the time the AFL convention opens i'll New Orleans on Nov. 20 our affiliated unions will re- port membership that will top the seven million mark" Meaney said in announcing the new record.
 Meaney pointed out that this figure is especially encouraging in view of government statistics show ing that there were million less men and women working in Aug, l944, than last year at the same time. In spite of this cut in the labor forces, union membership rolls continue to grow.

NewWage Policy Very Probable'- e'--Davis
Fake Anti-Labor
 Propaganda Now derlnspection
Lies, Distortions, Omissions Being Documented; Will
 Appear In Book

(LPA Exclusivc) Anti-labor pro- paganda and faked anti-union stories in the daily press are being carefully examined and compiled day y-by-day by a top official of the Office of War Information.
 Thousands of lies, distortions and omissions concerning organ ized labor's war record have al- ready been documented from the daily press and will appear in book form next January.
 Most notorious of the hundreds of anti-labor stories which caught head lines from coast to coast, according to the OWI official, was the fabricated tale of merchant seamen refusing to unload badly needed munitions and supplies at Guadalcana1. First printed by the Akron Beacon Journal, this horror-item was fat1y branded untrue by the War Department. The Beacon Journal never substantiated its story although 1t was given numerous op- portunities by government agencies and unions.
 Another widespread anti-labor story, in the OWI officials files, reports that the crews of the mer- chant ship Coos Bay" took up a collection to help out the under paid'' workers who went out on strike in war plant. The strike, shOrtlived, was unauthorized and every union official strove to get the men back on their jobs. But the anti-labor press played the in- cident so strenuOusly that it got into the servicemen's papers, ac- cOrding to the owl official.
 "The anti-labor press never gives up," he declared, mo matter how many times its stories have been proven lies and distortions. All through these newspaper articles runs one single purpose-to alienate ser vicemen from the workers who have been making their weapons, clothes, ships, medicines and equipment. All these stories, consciously or uncon- sciously, figure on peacetime America, in which civil war is far more potential than when Hoover gassed the bonus-marching veterans out Of their tents and huts on the An acostia Flats near Washington"
 For the majority of the daily press, he said, it's the relatively small one and two day strikes that make the headlincs-not the Presi- dents own statement that 'slabor has been 99 and 44/IOO% true to its no-strike pledge.''

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

AL SMITHS death was deeply felt in Connecticut. The former Governor of New York appealed to the working men and women of this state as have few other Ameri- cans of modern times. Al Smith was the same man when he was Cover nor and candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States, as he was when he was a $65-a-month cIerk-the only difference was that he learned as he grew. But his heart and mind always remained with the common people. He was a true American. We mourn him.

Co. Officials Criticized For Refusing To Consent
 To NLRB Election

The Norwalk Central Labor Union, at its last meeting, passed the following resolution, and has requested that The Union Times publish it:
 Whereas, the Norwalk Central Labor Union through the medium of the Norwalk Daily Press on Septem- Der 1st, 1914, learned with much re- gret that a strike of some 800 em- ployees of the General Aircraft Equip ment Inc. was in progress, and
 'Whereas, from direct informa- ton obtained from the workers in- volved, we have learned that the attitude of the Vice-President and Attorney for the General Aircraft Equipment Inc., MT. Paul R. Con- nery by his refusal to consent to an election of his employees to decide by majority vote whether or not they wanted a Union to act as their bargaining agent, caused a stoppage of work affecting our war effort, and
 Whereas, Vice-President and At torney Connery fully aware of the law of the 1and-the Wagner Act which gives the workers the right to organize collectively into a Union of their choosing to bargain for them with their employer by deliberately refusing to comply with the law of the land by not consenting to an cleo tion for his employees directly vio- lated the principles of democracy and thereby challenged all organized labor in our community, therefore,
 ''Be it Resolved that the dele gates representing all the affiliated Locals of the Norwalk Central Labor Union in the regular meet ing held on September 2lst, l944, voted unanimously to condemn Vice-President and Attorney for the General Aircraft Equipment Inc. MT. Paul R. Connery's actions as deliberate violation of the law and an insult to organized labor, and
 Be it Further Resolved that copy of this resolution oe given out for publication in the press and a copy to be mailed to Vice-President Paul R. Connery in the hones that a repe- tition of these violations will not take place in our community and that the law of the land under the Wagner Labor Act will be strictly adhered to." ]"
 The resolution was signed by a committee consisting of Thomas Voc zik, Louis Orons, and James V. No waco.
