FURLOUGH

You can bet,
Wen have time
We've never had
With our wives or sweethearts,
Or our mothers and dads.
We always wait
For that glad day,
When our officers
will approach and say,
"You can go home
But just for a while"
"Thank you, sir"
We say with smile.
We catch our train
We're all in heat,
What do you know
There is not seat.
They all are taken
From door to Dor
There's nothing to do
But sit on the floor.
People are travelling
From place to place,
We find it hard
To keep the pace
We have to be fast
When it comes to trains
Even if it causes
A lot Of pains
We try our best
For home to relax.
But after while
Our aching backs
Feel as though
We fell from cliff
We're sore and ache
We sure are stiff
Home at last
And what a feeling
Being away from
That potato peeling.
We don't get to bed
Till way after dark
For a while we're free
From the Sargent's bark.
The hardest part
Is starting back
Leaving your loved ones
At the station track
The time sure did
Go by real fast
But all good things
Can never last.
On the crowded
Train once more,
Yep you guessed
Again on the floor
Again we feel AI' @.-,
That awful 'cramp
Till we're back at camp.
Next thing we. know
1t is fve-fourty-ffve
We don't know if
We're dead or alive
The Sargent stares us
In the face
Boy this sure is
A heavenly place.
If this is heaven
Then ring the bell
Cause brother I'm going
Straight to the kitchen,
I'm on X. p. today!
By the "K. P. Kid".

is helping the war effort, how the CTS

they wouldn't get jobs when they got

tees that drafted or enlisted men go back
with accumulated service to their same
Job or one Of equal pay and status"

WORKERS FAINT
WITH Heat; FIRM
SOUEEZESPENNIES

BALTIMORE, Md - (FP) - Skinflint
policies of the Glenn L. Martin Co. have
turned its sprawling bomber plant here
into a giant sweat box
Blackout panels seal tight windows Of
the plant, resulting in very poor ventila-
ton with the temperature shooting up
to 100 degrees in various parts of the
plant. Numerous cases of heat prostra-
ton have occurred among the workers.
Since blackout restrictions on the east
coast were lifted several months ago,
Local 1888, United Auto Workers (CIO)
called on the company to remove the
camouflage. The company replied that
the War department would not give its
permission.
Conferences by UAW officials with
War department officials in washington
disclosed that the department had no
objection to removal of the blackout
panels. Further union probing showed
that the company's refusal was based on
it's desire to get the War department to
pay for tearing down the window Gov
erings.
So while the company continues to
haggle over cost, workers "are taking a
daily Turkish bath in the plant, offered
free by the Glenn L. Martin Co." the
Aircraft Beacon, Local 7S8 newspaper
reported.

ed and suppressed development and
growth of motor carriers and other forms

ing rates and improving services and
facilities Of the western railroads. Both

for many years substantially controlled

tions and conspiracies Of the kind

RED CROSS OFFERS
GIFT POINTERS
FOR CTS ABROAD

WASHINGTON, D. C.-What to pack
in Christmas boxes for shipment to serv-
ice me nand women in foreign countries
is suggested in list drawn up by Red
Gross workers who have been overseas
with troops and who have learned that
is most useful and most welcome.
Books head the list of best buys" in
Christmas gifts, preferably pocket edi-
tions. Mysteries and adventure stories
are most popular. A windproof cigarette
lighter would be a good choice, Red
Cross workers advise, since this item
often is lost or becomes worn out.
Mailing dates for Christmas packages
for overseas delivery are September Is
to october is. Size must be no more
than is inches in length, or SO inches
in length and girth combined. When
ready to mail, the package should weigh
no more than five pounds.
Durable shower slippers-canvas is
suggested-are highly useful. Writing
portfolio and fountain pen would be
welcome, and both should be of a simple
type. A pocket size folder enclosing one
or more snapshots of the family is sug-
gested.
If something on a grander scale is de-
sired, a waterproof, shockproof watch is
practical if the CT doesn't own one. Red
Cross workers say an item that will go
over big is a dog tag chain of silver or
other untarnishable metal. They also
suggest an unbreakable mirror of size
large enough to be useful. A pocket comb
could be tucked into any box
Pocket-size games, sheet music, play
ing cards, a harmonica or ocarina would
contribute to the soldiers off-duty en-
tertainment'
For the girl in service, personal gadg-
cts are good only if they are practical.
Her favorite cosmetics are good gift if
packed in unbreakable, leak-proof con-
tainers. Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and
polish remover and a small quantity Of
her favorite perfume are on the Red
Cross list.
CT Jane could probably use a pair Of
of soft bedroom slippers and simple
houseooat, which should be seersucker
if she is in the tropics. Bobby pins, a
sewing kit or a toilet kit might go into
her package. Hose should be encased
in cellophane to resist insects. For the
Pacific islands and Australia a bathing
suit and cap are suggested. ANY under
garments, such as slips or panties, sent
to that theater should be cotton, since
ants eat rayon.
other items suggested to fill out the
girl CTS package are cleasing tissues,
soap leaves, coat hangers, clothesline and
pins Gravel type), and a flashlight.
A good choice for the pipe-smoking
man (besides, of course, a pipe would
be a moisture proof tobacco pouch. To-
bacco and cigarettes usually are obtain
able, o rare supplied by the Red Cross.
Whether your gift box is for man
or woman, few simple rules apply:
It should contain nothing that you
would not want if you we're travelling or
camping.
Candy, gum or salted peanuts should
be sent in alright tins.
Fruit cake should not be sent to the
tropics, and for other areas it should be
O packed in an alright tin
Your package may enclose a simple
geeting, and the outside may bear a

Net profits after taxes of Class I
railroad companies for the first six
months of 1914 as reported in the Sep
tember Railroad Notes of Labor Research
association were approximately 1920 mil
lion. In the first half Of the pre-war
year of 1910, these roads reported net
loss of over IS million and their loss in

than $50 million.

than the all-time record set in 1942 and
1943, will still be larger than for any
other year since 1880, Railroad Notes
predicts. Dividends during the first
seven months Of 1914 were 5 per cent
more than for the same period of 194S
and showed a greater increase than the
average for corporations of all indus
tries, L. r. A. adds.
The suit filed by the Department Of
Justice against the Association of Amer
lean Railroads, Western Association Of
Railway Executives, J. P. Morgan & Co.,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Al railroads and their
top executives allege that the companies
deliberately refused to lower railroad
rates for relief Of drought-stricken areas,
kept officials from reducing rates and
improving services and facilities Of the
western roads, and retarded and sup
pressed development of other forms Of
transportation that competed with their
interests in the West.
