weeks may never occur In certain departments because in the normal turnover: the voluntary termina- tions may very well take care of even up to 100%o of all figures on layoffs. AS as matter of fact only 249o of all employees leaving the boat in the last two months were on the termination lists.
 The lack of welders at the E. B.. may we'll be acute If voluntary terminations do not cease. Consid- ering that the Co.'s present con- tracts extend to August 1946, there doesn't seem much likelihood of any layoffs for Welders. Up to date only 1903 workers have been ac- tually laid off from a personel of 12,O0O, two months back.
 The E. B.'s Post War Plans call for the employment of between 5000 and 1000 employees, so that the post war layoffs facing work CTS in other areas may not happen here.

Your Dollar by Consumers Union

1O1leG soap
 Do you want a soap or glamor? Consumers Union asks. You can pay 4c to 1Oc cake If it's soap you're after. If you want glamor with a little soap thrown in, by all means buy Elizabeth Arden, Dorothy Gray or Lentheric at Soc to $1. Either way you'll get R good mild soap which will not prevent or cure dry skin or wrinkles. AS re- suit of government action, the Col gate-Palmolive-Peet Go. has pro- missed to stop representing that "the use of Palmolive soap and wa ter has any effect upon the skin except as a mild cleansing agent" or that "Palmolive soap and water will protect the skin against, or avert or postpone the consequ- ences of, advancing age or will cure the facial eruptions common to ad- olescence."
 GU tested 131 brands of toilet soap and all were acceptable. But the differences in cost are very great. White floating soaps are generally the most economical. If you prefer fancy shape, perfume or color, look around for what you want. But remember that added color or perfume costs the manu- facturer very little, and that you're just as apt to find a brand you like at seven SentS and eight cents as twenty cents.
 Grapefruit Juice
 It's easy to get good grapefruit juice, Consumers Union reports, af- ter tests of GA brands. Almost all Of the more than 25O cans tested were Grade A, which means they met high standards for flavor, col- Or and consistency. And in addi- tion, grapefruit juice is one of your best and cheapest vitamin c buys. Four ounces daily give you almost twice the daily minimum require ment of 25 milligramS of Vitamin c.
 Brands selling at about 13 cents for No. 12 can (18 ounces) were found fully as good as those costing Is to 20 cents, GU reports. Folks Colonial, Finest, Glenwood, Holly Hill, Silver Nip, Adams, Bohack'S s Best Cherry Valley and Donald Duck were among the Best Buy brands. A complete list is given in Consumer Reports for September.
 FIameprOOfing
 Eighty-seven hundred Americans are killed by burns each year, Consumers Union reports. And many of these deaths could be pre- vented by the use of simple flame proofing compounds in danger spots in the home.
 GU recommends two compounds "a commercial product, DuPont Fire Retardant-and a homemade solution of seven parts of borax and three parts of water. Both can be used as dips or sprays. Fabric treated with either compound will char but it won't burn.
 The DuPont Fire Retardant is not removed by dry cleaning, but the homemade product is. Both compounds are removed by wash ing.
 Flameproofing curtains near gas range or oil heater or an up holstered chair used by a careless smoker is a worthwhile form of

Detroit News in an attempt to
prove that George Meany Of the
ALL and I were wrong in charg-
ing some weeks ago that the real
increase in the cost of living was
greater than the increase shown
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
The ThOmas-Meany report, sub

would not meet a single criticism
leveled by labor against the cost

Our Canadian sisters are set
ting fine example of making the
auxiliaries o real force I'm COM
munity life. Mrs. Bud McCoOl Of
Mine, Mill Auxiliary lit, Of Sud-
bury, Ontario, has recently been
elected to the Women's Advisory
Council Of Sudbury. This Is the
first time that the families Of
miners have been represented by
one of their own members on an
important civic board. That aux
lliary also has the distinction of
being the largest of the "a wom-
ems organizations represented on
the Women's Voluntary War
Service Committee Of Sudbury.
These instances illustrate the
pattern through which the auxili-
aries can make a tremendous con-
tribution to the CLIO political ac-
toin drive. The first job is to con-
vince our own members Of the
Importance of registering and vot-
ing and the first slogan Is EVERY
auxiliary member registered
voter"
WORK WITH UNIONS
The second step Is to offer the
cooperation OF the auxiliary to the
union political action committee.
Get members to serve as registrars
in the union hall and to go door to
door calling on union families.
And finally the auxiliary itself
must reach out to work coopera-
lively with other women's organi-
cations in the community, carrying
to them the CLIO political action
message.
In many communities It should
be possible to develop Immediately
a joint city-wide women's program
on registration with a wide variety
Of organizations participating.

 Skirt Patrol

SKIRT PATROLS are throw back to the soldiers civilian days as drugstore cowboys; they may be seen on any night on any cor- her in any town where there is an Army camp nearby, The av- craze G. I. has no scruples about SKIRT PATROLS because he has seen their civilian equivalents too many times. A bunch of girls will drive by a SKIRT PATROL, smile the morale of the group up into fever pitch, and then freeze like ice cubes, if the car stops within dating distance. This is not considered cricket. The SKIRT PATROL usually breaks up if one of the soldiers is successful. The rest of the fellows retire to drag their erstwhile companion over the coals; underneath, each one envies him like mad.
