The Riga Of recent years was divided into
two sections: the oldtown with its high gabled
steep rooted houses of brick and wood. its
old churches and counting houses of distinct
German paternity; and the newer modern Sec
ton whose numerous public buildings, technical
schools and universities claimed no distinct
architectural pattern.
Although the capital has often been called
the most metropolitan Of all Baltic cities, the
old town with its narrow winding streets has
retained much Of its picturesque charm In
the early years when the burghers dominated
the life of the city, their homes were literally
their castles. They carried on their profitable
business behind heavily barred windows and
doors, in buildings that provided living quar-.
tiers as well as large granaries and deem eel
lars.
The old town is now separated from the
city by a winding canal which replaces the old
Notifications. Shaded by oak and willow trees
and thanked by gardens of roses and rhodo-
dendrons, the canal bank was popular peace

SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY

SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY
-tBy Wireless)-One afternoon a
couple of soldiers came around our
camp to tell me about the strange
experience that had just happened
to them. They were brothers, and
the night before they had run onto
each other for the first time in
more than two years.
They are Corp. Jonn and Pvt.
Edward O'Donnel of East Milton,
Mass. John is an artilleryman and
has been overseas more than two
years, all through Africa and ST.
cily. Edward has been overseas on
ly couple of months. John is %
and Edward, 10.
The first Edward knew his broth
er was in the vicinity was when
he saw some soldiers, wearing the
patch Of Johns division, 6 ct lin G
ready to take bath at an outdoor
shower the Army had set up.
He asked them where the divi
sion was and then began a several
hour hunt for his brother. John
was attending an Army movie set
up in barn when Edward finally
tracked him down. They sent in
word for John to come out. When
he got about half way out and saw
W h o was waiting he practically
knocked everybody out of their
chairs getting to the back.
Their commanding officers gave
them the next day off and they
just roamed around with IN ei r
tongues wagging = talking mostly
about home.
That same afternoon another sol
der came by to say hello because
his name is the same as. mine.
He is Pvt. Stewart Pyle of Orange,
N. ]. He is the driver in a car
company, now and then he
gets an assignment to drive some
very high officers. At least that
will give him something to talk
about to his grandchildren.
Private Pyle is married and has
been overseas nine months. Try as
we might, we couldn't establish any
relationship. That might have been
due to the fact that my name
isn't Pyle at all, but Count Sforzo
Chef Dupont D'Artagnan.
Our family sprang from a long
line of Norman m;lkmaids. we took
the name Pyle after the Jones muir
der cases in 1739-January, think
it was. My great grandfather built
the Empire State Building. Why
am I telling you all this?

Work Leader Survey Being Made Here

Tn order to file additional evil dence with the National War La bor Board upon the disputed and appealed issue of establishment of working leader classification at this plant, the Union Is making a department by department survey to determine how many workers are entitled to have a working leader classification, how many men each working leader should have under him and what duties are carried on by the working leaders.
 Working sheets were drafted by Union Attorney Charles Suisman for each shift in the Victory Yard, the Main Yard, and the South Yard. These sheets have been distributed to a special committee who are to contact the representative in each department, get the necessary in- formation, fill in the working sheets and return them promptly to the Union office.
 All Union representatives are urged to cooperate promptly and to the fullest extent possible in securing this information.
 In order to fight this case, the Union needs the real facts and all the facts as soon as possible.
 Any Union department repre- sentative, who has not yet been contacted for this information, should contact a member of the committee at once about this sub ject.
 The following committee is handling the matter:
 Victory Yard, First Shift, Arthur c. Ward, William Andrews.
 South Yard, First Shift, Green halgh.
 Main Yard, First Shift, George Richard, Peter O'Malley. Victory Yard, Second Shift, Will liam Ebbinghaus, Emile Mahn, Tom Martin, Jr., Philip Santangello.

'FOrrestal Views Working Men As
 Navy's Partners

Keen interest in production problems has made the new head of the Navy Department, Secretary James Forrestal, fimiliar figure in many war plants and shipyards throughout the country.
 MT. Forrestal, who was recently elevated from Under Secretary to succeed the late Frank Knox, was in charge of Navy Procurement in his previous post. Under his inn mediate supervision took shape the vast naval construction program which has given the U. s. the mightiest sea and air armada in history. This responsibility brought him into numerous plants produc- ing for the Navy and afforded him frequent opportunity to discuss production problems first hand with the representatives of both man agement and labor.
 From these experiences stems Secretary Forrestals strong view that the working forces of the na- tion are active partners of the fighting men of the fleet.
 In a recent speech, MT. Forresta1 paid high tribute to the role which the men and women of the pro- duction lines are playing in the war. Referring to the Navy's tre- mendOuS Shipbuilding program, he declared:
 ". Let me say at the outset that this titanic accomplishment was not the work of single man, certainly not of my own effort. It was possible because of the intelli- gence, energy and devotion to duty of thousands of the officers and men throughout the Navy !. |. working anonymously and loyalty It was due to the resource fulness and ingenuity of the men who direct American business. And 1t was due to labor f"
 And he added: ''The rank and file of labor have their heart and soul, as we'll as their backs and arms, into the war job"
 In a Labor Day statement last year, MT. Forrestal said:
 "In this second Labor Day since our entry into the war, the might of American war production is making itself felt on every front in this global war. That might ex- emplifies the patriotism and loy- alty of American working men and women. It expresses their hatred for the tyranny and oppression of the Axis governments.

Other Shipyards Visited by

Ward, Vice President George Richard, Emile Mahn and Attorney Charles Suisman to visit in person other nearby shipyards for the purpose of obtaining needed information in connection with the appeals which are pending before the National War Laber Board
