And now this column is giving
advice to the lovelorn. Believe it

You may have forgotten all those
severe thunderstorms last summer

summer was the heaviest in recent
years, insurance men say.
They're currency orphans-those
steel pennies. Nobody wants them
and everybody seeks to be rid of
them by passing them on at the
earliest opportunity. Students of
currency will tell you that the less
desirable kinds of money tend to re-
place in circulation the more desir-
able-which is aptly illustrated in
this case.

opening the areas where the fish and
game are released, a decision was
made to appoint director in charge
of each of the Buckeye, Waterworks
and National quarries, and director
in charge of each of the game refu-
ges-the college, Moser, Rogers and
Rlckly reserves. Heading this group
will be senior director in charge of
development of the areas.
These two groups will be the nu-
cleus around which the working pro-
gram of the club will be developed.
| Other directors will be appointed to
head committees on membership, pub
Lefty, law enforcement, program, IL
cense sales, unit tree planting, farm
pond construction, farmer-sportsmen
cooperation, archery, and flowers.
As befose in previous years, licenses
for hunting and fishing will be sold by
authorized club agents.
The next directors meeting will be
held this Thursday night, at 7:30 in
the Walnut Grill. Additional direc-
tors will be appointed at that meeting
to fill the above named positions.
Much activity was to be seen at the
Buckeye Quarry the past week. Nine
inches of clear ice produced an excel
lent skating surface and last Sunday
better than hundred skaters were
cutting capers on the frozen surface
OF the quarry.
The ice produced an ideal condition
for the developing of blue gill spawn
ing beds. Eleven tons of gravel were
distributed over the ice at the small
end of the Buckeye by members of the
club. The gravel bed covers the ice
for a space of approximately 1000
square feet. In the spring when the
ice melts the gravel will sink to the
rock shelf few feet under the ice and
a spawning bed will be created. Blue
gills seek such stony areas for the lay
ing of their eggs. As soon as the
gravel has dropped into position, the
big tree will be felled into the water
adjacent to the gravel spawning bed.
To drop the tree at present on such
heavy stand of ice would crush the
under branches of the tree to such an
exent that they would be useless as
protection for the fish fingerhngs.

spreading of the gravel and tree trim

That old Christmas tree can be
used to excellent advantage by the
club officers. A number of fish pro-
lection areas are to be built at the
Buckeye and such trees are very
adaptable for such purposes. Please
take your tree to either end of the
quarry and the directors will stack
them on the ice at advantageous
positions. If you cannot possibly
haul your tree to the quarry, leave
it at the rear of the town hall and
we will see that it gets taken to the
quarry.

Hope Held for Change
In Italian Regime
Before Fall Of Rome
BY the Associated Press.

NAPLES, Jan. 12.-Hope was held
in some italian political circles to-
day that a change of kings to re-
move "the taint of Fascism" and a
reorganization of the Badoglio gov
ernment along broader democratic"
lines could be effected before the
Allies capture Rome.
Demands that King Victor En-
manuel abdicate in favor of his
grandson, the 6-year-old Prince of
Naples, were laid before the Russian
and French members of the Inter-
Allied Advisory Council on Italy
yesterday and further pressure along
these lines is expected to come from
the Committee of National Liberia
ton, representing six political
parties, which meets at Bari January
%.
Andrei J. Vishinsky, Russian
member of the council, and Rene
Massigli, the French Committee of
National Liberation's foreign COM
missioner, conferred yesterday with
SOullG SdllU OlOI I'D, pI6-T dSClSl
foreign minister and now head of
the Action party, and Benedetto
Croce, Italian philosopher-states-
man.
Croce and Sforza reaffirmed their
belief that the King must go and
that his son, Prince Umberto, was
equally unacceptable, but indicated
that a regency for the Prince of
Naples would be acceptable.
British and American representa-
tives of the Inter- Allied Council, to
whom similar representations have
been made, learned yesterday from
members of the italian committee
that Enrico de Nicola, former presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies,
had refused to enter the present
government when approached by
Premier Badoglio.
A friend of Sforza quoted De
Nicola as saying, mo italian gov
ernment will be strong without
SforZa in it,"

General Marshall Orders Army To
 Fight Lies Against Organized Labor

The fact sheet begins with this note to officers: Confidence in the home front and feeling of unity with the civilian production worker are essen tlal to the morale of the soldier. Few things will undermine the soldiers faith in his cause more devastatingly than bitterness about the home front
 Two opinions rather widely held by soldiers are responsible for con- siderable anti-civilian feeling: that war production is being seriously hampered by labor disputes; that war workers are living in luxury on huge wages. The serious thing about these opinions is that they are mis- conceptions based probably on made quate access to factual material"
 The official sheet then gives the facts about increased living costs. taxes, war bond deductions. mov- ing costs for many war workers and wages. It concludes that ssthe average spendable earning, after bonds and taxes, of the average A0~IOAy WOAACH WAtA lUFCC uepcnO- ents exceeded the January l94l standard by $5.65 per week. The single worker had 22c, enough for two beers, per week more than the cost of his January 194l earn- ings."
 The fact sheet again cites the official record on strikes, in con- trast to newspaper exaggeratiOn. Pointing out that twO-thirds of time lost last year was in the coal strike, it stresses that the AFL and CIO national leadership have not authorized a single strike since Pearl HarbOr. The sheet further makes the point that industrial accidents have cost the nation more lives since Pearl Harbor than have been lost so far on the battle frOnts." The document concludes: ''The production front record of management and labor is magnifi- cent-it needs and should have no apology. only publicity and under standing.'

The four-year campaign of lies against American labor in most news papers, magazines and over the radio has finally resulted in action by the War Department.
 Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, has sent out instructions to every orientatiOn officer in every army outfit ordering a public dis cussiOn in which the press and radio falsehOods about labor are to be nailed. In addition the War Department has sent a fact sheet to every army unit giving statistics and official reports which expose all the anti-labOr propaganda pro. duced since the war began.
 These two documents appear i'll an exclusive copyright story in In Fact, weekly newsletter published by George Seldes. Seldes points out that the Hearst, Straightforward and Nc Cormick- Patterson press chains, which before Pearl Harbor published Nazi and pro-Mussolini propaganda, lead the country in publishing lies to set SOlQ1erS against laDOT. l ne war Dept.'s move should knock this fas- cist campaign dead, he says.
 Marshall's instructions ask Ori- entatiOn officers to hold discussions stressing: ''l. Our people at home are winning the production war against Germany and Japan; 2. The enemy unceasingly aims to create antagonism between our soldiers and civilians; 3. In tOday's total war, there can be no real line drawn between 'hOme' front and fighting front" It goes on:
 To-day A million Americans are at work combating the Axis home fronts. . . Since Pearl Harbor we've built SIS billion of new war indus tries in addition to converting our peace industries to war. It has been tremendous effort and it too has cost i'll toll, sweat and casualties. . . |. We can be proud of the results America is showing. Our production front has not only caught up with the Axis; right now our people alone are

giving us more weapons than the combined output of Germany and Japan.
 "This giant production program is not being realized without difficulties The most sensational of these are strikes. . What is the actual effect strikes have had upon our production From shortly after Pearl Harbor un- til July 1 of this year we have had o,285 strikes or work stoppages, and these have cost about g million man. days of labor.
 s'It is obvious that our war ef- fort would be even greater if per feet harmony had prevailed and these stoppages had not occurred. On the other hand, SO prodigious and faithful have been the efforts of the great majority of our people that the loss represents less than l-1O of l% of the total labor time available. This bears out the state- ment by the Secretary of Labor to Congress that the nO-strike, mo- lockout pledge of labor and man. agement 'has been kept at a rate of 99%'."

Court Dismisses History Making
 Antitrust Suit
Electricians, No. 3, Cleared Of Charge Of Violating
 Law On Boycotts

The U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed a 9-year-old case brought by II of the largest electrical manufacturers in the country against Local }, Intl. Bro. of Electrical Workers (AFL), under the Sherman antitrust law.
 Described by Local 3 as ''history making" the 3 to 2 decision re- versed a district court decision which found the local guilty of vio- lating the antitrust law because it boycotted products of nOn-union concerns.
 Citing recent U. s. supreme court decisions, the circuit court held that a union would lose its immunity under the Norris-LaGuardia law only if it entered into agreements or conspira- cies with the contractors or manufac- turers to obtain graft or restrain trade.
 Objectives of the union boycott were completely legal, the court held, declaring that Local 3 was seeking to obtain higher wages, shorter hours of employment and improvement and protection of working conditions for it's mem- bers. It also pointed out that Busi- ness Man. Harry Van Arsdale of Local 3 had since 1888 conducted a campaign to extend the benefits of unionism to workers in the un- derpaid branches of the electrical industry.
 Of, the plaintiffs, which included General Electric Co. and Nesting house Electric Co.,, the court said : "Their loss of business occurred in the course of an economic struggle which involved their interests as op- posed to those of the livelihood of members of Local 3 which (the court) could not undertake to determine within its judicial functions
