No one knows at this fighter base
whether First 1t. John H. Walker

Federal Works Agency, got out of a
dive from 10000 feet alive, OF
whether his plane crashed to Ger

POSTWAR WORK
PLAN PROPOSED

A concerted plan whereby ev-
cry civic organization ana local
institution will participate in de-
termining the materials necessary
to operate Wilmington and New
Hanover businesses at fullspeed
after the war, in order that those
concerns may furnish jobs for re-
turning servicemen, was recon-
mended to the Rotary club Tues
day by Rotary District Governor
W. H. (BilD Chambers.
Rotarian Chambers declared
that it is the current intent Of
Rotary international to compile
as near accurate statistics as pos
sible on the amount of supplies
required to stimulate normal
business operation. Rotary will
then work with the United States
government in an effort to re-
lease those materials so that by
the time the 100000 servicemen
come home they will find jobs
instead OF breadines.
''If something isn't done to
make the government loosen its
strings on business, I am afraid
the breadline will be our lot. >"
ChaI ers commented.
The district governor had high
praise for the Junior Rotarian
idea, and urged that the local
club make full use Of its oppor-
tunities to bring up responsible
young men in the Rotary tradi-
ton. He pointed out that the Jun
ior Rotarian is a natural leader,
envied and copied by his associ-
ates. BY assisting in his growth
and development, Rotary is spon-
soring development among youth
in general, he said
Mr.. Chambers was introduced
by H. A. Marks, member of the
executive committee of Rotary
District No. 8.
The Rev. A. S. Parker pro-
nounced the invocation, and the
Rev. Mortimer Glover the bene-
diction. President Richard S.
Rogers was in the chair.

down the center of her head, split

pins clamped them down over her
forehead into smoothness that
left only slight wave over the

 On the evening of October 28, two plants in New Jersey which had been working peacefully on em- broidery jobs suddenly stopped r their machines. They ripped out the embroidery, rethreated the machines, with HOO spools of thread and led it through the in- tricacies of the machines.
 The Filipino arm patches were under way, cc.lsuming several G1AOuooA4u yd40o VI o.H-ONAANC VWAA in the making.
 All during the day of October 29, Sunday, the mills ran at top speed and right on through until the middle of the week.
