clubs twin triumph ended los
ing streak of eight games for the
visitors and ended a Tiger win

six games.
Cleveland, winning a double
header from Washington, mean

the standings a full game ahead
of the Tigers.
Behind the fine six-hit pitch
ing of Don Black the Athletics
in the first game route rolled up
19 hits, one of them home run
by Joe Burns, a second baseman
the Athletics acquired from In
dianapolis.

less than an inning as four of the
first five batters TO face the tall
Pole hit him safely. Zeb Eaton,
recalled from Buffalo. was next
in the slaughter and Zebelon's
first appearance of the year as
Tiger was anything but hero's
success. Zebelon's trouble was
wildness.
Before the A thletics got
through with Corsica and Eaton
they had chalked up six runs in
the first inning.
Next was Jake Mooty, a vet
eran of both major leagues, who
| lasted until the fourth frame
when Walter Boom BOOM Beck,

Beck was no better or worse,

the fourth hole of the first round,
when word came that Winney had
finished with 20 for 143.
That would have meant the for

WIN, He got them through his long
gamble on the seventeenth and a
fine No. 4 iron shot TO the green
on the 200-yard eighteenth.

often is the case, was wrong

Watrous took a three-stroke
lead with morning 50 but then
jumped to 37-39-76, compared TO
Eyrd's 36-33-69. Plainly tired,
the Oakland Hills veteran let a
stroke get away from him on each
Of the last three holes although
he got pars on two of them. Last
year Jimmy Demaret had 81 on
the last trip to beat him out.
Except for the first hole, which
measured more than 600 yards
from the special tee, and on which
he had SO, Byrd ate up the three
shelters. He birdied them both
times around.
He didn't collect a birdie three
IN the morning but had three in
the afternoon. On the 406-yard
thirteenth, he hit the flag with
his 9-iron second and the ball
stopped only 2 inches from the
cup.

Busy Life For Red
 Cross Girls
By Cpl. Tom Love
fArmy Correspondent)

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT-The life of a Red Cross girl in Alaska is a busy one filled with excitement and bit rugged, too, but not as romantic as some would like to believe.
 This was the judgment of four veteran Red Cross hostesses who have served at various posts on the Alaska mainland and also along the Alaskan Military High way.
 We have a job to do-same as the soldiers" said Mary Ann Madigan, director of the service club at one of the largest posts in Alaska where the four girls now work, "The soldiers Ives are filled with monotony and a natural yearning for affection and companionship, and, as ii turns out, so are ours"
 Many Ann was Asst. State Di- rector of Recreation for the State of Indiana before she join ed the Red Cross. With so many thousands of males about, it seems incredible that romance should not be knocking at her door, but Mary Ann claims she is so busy that there is hardly time for concentrating on one man.
 Margaret Becker, staff assist ant at the service club, who for merly was secretary of a psy- chiatric hospital in New York City, emphasizes the rqggedness of the life as Red Cross hostess.
 Arriving in Alaska several months ago, Margaret was pitch ed headlong into the Whirl of activities. The first week she attended an underground dance in messhall Wishing to please the men, she removed her rather plain uniform and put on some thing fluffier q didn't count the number of soldiers I danced with but later l found this aver aged 56 cut-ins during any given evening""
 Another Red Cross girl, Nancy Meister, of Sacramento, Calif., made the mistake of wearing something a little too fluffy to the same dance and was cut-in on 43 times during one number.

NEAREST NICKLE PRICING

Many hundreds of specific prices are now in Washington and several hundred more are shortly to be sent there for ap- proval. In towns where the nickle-rounding is persistent habit the question of charging pennies will come up. MPR 283 for Alaska permits prices for one sale covering many articles or for a series of sales paid for at the end of a period, as is custom ary for credit purchases, to be rounded to the nearest nickle. This regulation is the result of OPA's fitting regulations to the customs of each region under the flag as far as price control per mits.
 Easy Adding of Prices
 To abide by OPA specific ceilings and yet to keep adding by his clerks easy and accurate,

The Nome nugget., 1944-01-07

Margaret found it a little d.f- ficult to walk following her first three or four c. I. dances, but now she is hardened. q can dance all evening with innumer- able soldiers and never tire she claims. Not only that. I have learned all the little steps and peculiarities of dancing from ,he various sections of the coun- try. l know all the different types of small talk too The men from Oklahoma and Texas are the funniest. They flatter the very devil out of you, but they are charming about it." Even the girls who do strictly clerical work or Red Cross head quarters here get out to social events-on their own time. Mar garet's sister, Roberta Becker, who was formerly executive secretary for George Abbott Productions, New York, spends many of her evenings going to c. I. mess halls at the outpoSts. dances and other activities.
 Donna Ann Buttner, of Mill Valley, Calif., who was technical file clerk for Shell Development Co. before joining the Red Cross, finds her work in Alaska a means of continuing the work she has always been most interested in. social and group work activi- ties.
 ''The men, for the most part, have girl of a wife at home, and they like to tell me about them. During the course of a day l talk informally and some times rather intimately with dozens of soldiers. I am inn pressed with their fidelity to that girl at home, although they may not have seen her for two or three years"
 Donna Ann is now a qualified expert on the likes and dislikes of the far north soldier. Before coming to this post, she spent several months along the rugged Alaska Military Highway.
 Sue Easton, medical secretary from San Francisco, finds the soldiers who come up from the Aleutians the most fascinating. The newspapers give a lot of publicity to what the Aleutian soldier has gone through, but they tell little of what he is like" Sue claims.
 Every so often one of the Aleutian boys comes into our little office in the service club, He IS very shy. He stands around timidly until the ice is broken, then he is the best talk CT of all. The soldiers in the Afeutians are dolng lot of thinking"
 All of the girls at the service club are hand picked by the Red Cross for their all around abil- ities, personality and intelli- gence- In addition, each has a speciality. Mary Ann Madigan is a capable executive. Sue Easton is qualified bridge ex- pert. Donna Ann Buttner is a recreational expert and Margar- ct Becker has had years of ex- perience in amateur and pro- fessional dramatics. All of the girls are excellent dancers and

WLB Rules Bosses
Must Keep Word

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Em-
ployers must honor agreements
they enter into with unions, if
industrial peace is to be main
tanned, the Natl War Labor
Board ruled last week in a case
involving the Teaford, Danches
Co. of Union City, o., and the

When negotiations between
the union and company began
about 20 months ago, the man.
agement agreed to make what
ever wage increases were ar
rived at, retroactive to May IL,
1913.
Later, the dispute with the
company resulted in a brief
strike and showdown of the en-
ployees. Whereupon, the man
agement demanded that as a
punishment, the retroactive
date should be pushed forward
five months. Employer members
of the WLB supported that po-
sition, but the public and labor
members held that, as basic
principle of collective bargain
ing, voluntary agreements must
be complied with.

was that setting the policy of
the UAW-CIO with respect to
veterans seniority.
Adopted by the convention,
the resolution provides that a
person who enters the armed
forces holds and accumulates
seniority: that any person in
cluding probationary" a n d
Temporary" employees covered
by a UAW contract entering the
armed forces receives the pro-
lection of the seniority clauses
in the contracts with credit to-
ward their seniority for the
time they remain in service.
Included in the resolution
were clauses providing that a
veteran not employed at the
time he entered service, but who
secures employment in a UAW
contract plant after his dis
charge, shall receive seniority
credit for the time spent in the
armed service subject to several
conditions. The veteran must
take advantage of the policy
within one year following his
discharge, he may not bump
other employees in order to OBJ
tain employment and can apply
the policy only in the plant
which obtains employment after
his discharge or first exercises
his right under the policy.
Important Resolution
One of the most important
resolutions of the convention
the no-strike pledge, will come
before the Wednesday morning
session of the convention. In.
dications are that the debate
will be lively and at least three
different views will be pre-
sented. The two principal ar,
guments are to sustain the nC
strike to rescind it. The thirc
point is to maintain the pledge
for industries doing war worl
and to return to the terms o.
the UAW constitution for those
plants returning to civilian
production.
