workers, but in order to retain their regular employees, as farm workers have been specifically exempted from Selective Service by the Tyd- ings Amendment. It was deter mined that oyster growers do actu- ally engage in farming, by growing seed, planting and cultivattng the oyster beds.
 In order to have Jamaicans as- signed to them, farmers must place definite order with the Farm Bu- reau Labor Department for the number of workers they want, on or before May 15. MT. Smith stated that one hundred Jamaicans have been reserved especially during the having season for dairy farmers from June 12 to July 10. However, the Jamaicans must live in camps established by the State Farm Labor Department and the nearest one to the New Haven area is located in Portland. Farmers must transport those workers from the camp to the job and return to the camp daily.
 Wages for those imported workers have not yet been established, but will be shortly when a Wage Board made up of farmers meets to de- termine the going wage in the area where these Jamaicans will be used. At the present the few JamaicanS who remained during the winter on Connecticut farms are receiving 55 cents per hour. Dairymen using these Jamaicans must agree to em- ploy them 75 per cent of the work day, or else pay them $500 per day for time less than a day. In figur- ing work days, there are six in 8 week, and those must be counted whether it rains or not. These reg ulationS and rules regarding the payment and use of the Jamaicans are established by the Jamaican Government along with the War Food Administration.

ing interest. The introduction was
written by Ernie Pyle, with the rare
simplicity and deep understanding
that characterizes all that Ernie
Pyle writes.
1t is not only q valuable book for
students Of the 10-year period it
covers; 1t is an exciting and inspir-
ing volume for any reader.
Skillfully edited by Mrs. Clapper
to provide continuity of thought, ra-
ther than chronological order, and
to eliminate details that had i'm
portance only at the moment they
were written, the book will prove
revelation to many who have
thought they were familiar with
Ray Clapper's power as a writer.
All during those years when he was
putting on paper his thoughts con-
corning passing events, some of us,
at least, failed to realize that he
was producing literature likely to
live long time.
Deep Thinker.
The beauty and force of his
phrasing, the balance and symmetry
of his construction, escaped us. This
may have been due to the necessity
he was under at times to crowd the
small space OF his daily articles with
bits Of information essential to the
understanding of that days news,
or 1t may have been due merely to
our own obsession with what he was
saying rather than how he was
saying it.
So It was that when the tragic
news Of his death in the Southwest
Pacific hit the newspaper world,
his colleagues found themselves
paying tribute to Ray Clapper
chiefly as great reporter. The
volume now published will cause
many to revise their estimate of
their friend. They will find him
deeply troubled thinker, phi
losopher, penetrating student;
they will find him an artist, master
Of the medium in which he worked.
While Clapper was able to lash
out in bitter anger at the stupid
self1shness encountered in his daily
rounds at home or his extended pill
grimages abroad, for the most part
he held to his abiding belief in hu-
man decency. His book contains
no cyniciSm. 1t contains sure, sus-
tanned faith. 1t has the freshness
of an everything spirit. Any chap
ter read today has the impact of
today's flrst-page news, or of to-
days opinion by your favorite ed
ttorial writer.

The things he wrote about have
not ceased to be important. In

in the presidential and congress

be better prepared for that duty If

through the swiftly flowing pages.
