Drive
BE ON YOUR GUARD IN THE
BIG H. 3. A. DRIVE

To the presidents and members OF
the H. B. A: May we suggest that
in this drive for new members let US
be careful not to do anything that will
cause a serious setback in later years.
Since so many of our young men
in certain ages and classes are being
called to Armed Services, l am of the
opinion that all presidents and lodges
should use extraordinary precaution
in taking in young men who are eli
gible to be called at any time.
We are having more young men to
apply for membership in the H. B. A.
seemingly, that ever before / think
that each president and lodge should
e careful about soliciting applications
and accepting applications for men,
bership, in cases where such persons
nay be called to Armed Service at any
time.
IN normal times the young men and
women seemed to put the old people
in the H. B. A. but now somebody is
making applications especially f or
young men. Young men applying to
the H. B. A. now are almost three to
one against the young women.
I hope that you will study this mat
ter seriously and remember that it
matters not how many deaths we
have in one quarter the members of
the Association pay the claims wheth-
er they be $4,000, $4,000, $4,000 Of
$4,000, and the law provides that we
pay what we collect. It will be some
what serious if we overload the As
soc.ation with a group Of persons who
have been in the H. B. A. for a short
while and some Of those who have
been in for twenty five and thirty
ys7es f.'l ia the ma class with them
in death benefits. Friends. we say.
this IS serious proposition

Remember how lovely you felt
Easter morning with your hair
freshly fixed to compliment your
new Easter bonnet? Well, now that
Easter is over do you still feel as
lovely? Or have you gone into an
afterEaster slump without know
ing why, or what you can do about
it?
The arrival of Easter means that
new fashions come definitely into
vogue that some Of US
IRE ant 10 forget once Easter Sun
day has past. It's the wise woman
who definitely uses that date to put
her drab, dark winter clothes away
and blossom out with touches Of
spring In her wardrobe. This usu-
ally means that the Easter hat you
bought was the beginning Of a new
fashion season for you. Chances
are that when you bought that hat
you had your hair fixed in a becom-
ing hairdress, and that when your
beauty operator fixed it, you both
were amazed at the havoc that win
ter weather had wrought How
ever, she probably fixed it up to
look presentable for Easter, while
you solemnly resolved to yourself
that Just as soon as Easter was
over" you would really do some
thing about that drab, dull look Of
your hair. Now Easter has come
and gone, and you want to keep
chat spring feeling you had Easter
mOrning-and prevent that "after
Easter let-down." Let's see what
must be done.
Why not go into this rejuvenating
process head" first? Because
you're partial to pretty things and
because the men in your life prefer
you dainty and feminine, you prob
ably chose one of the many styles

that are destined for popularity this
season. These hats, of course, mean
one thing-yOur hair must always

At 10:15 the enemy sent up two

blazed with the heaviest German
shelling of the campaign.
Twenty minutes after the attack

some companies were able to report /:
Situation normal.
Several enemy pockets remained,
howsver. and toward dawn the Ger
mans began pouring in again from
the right. Headquarters was warned
that tanks would be needed at the
first light to restore the situation.
Dawn found Mark VI tanks
tTigers) squatting on.the low ridge
a few hundred yards east of the
highway. Tank destroyers bravely
took them on and, ignoring casual
ties, finally succeeded in driving
them of.
But now the pressure on the left
had increased greatly. Several po-
sitions were overrun by the Germans
who got so close to the highway
that supplies could not go through
Meanwhile, the forward companies
were calling for reinforcements and
ammunition.
Pounded by Artillery.
At IL clock, the Germans threw
in fresh troops and sent a large
number of tanks against both sides
of the neck Of the salient. For
while contact was maintained by
motorcycle messengers who sped
down the highway under mortar and
rifle fire. BY noon, all wire COM
munications had been cut. The only
contact was by radio. A message
at 3:15 of Everything OK" was fol-
lowed by a long period of silence.
At 4 o'clock an Allied relief force
attacked from Carroceto with mis-
sion to close the l-mile gap. The
position of isolated forward elements
seemed desperately critical. They
were being subjected to incessant
artillery pounding while tanks
harassed their rear.
These tanks have a tricky method
of mopping up troops in trenches.
They approach at right angles and
then, when the treads are straddling
the ditch, they wheel about so the
trench collapses on it's occupants.
To reach their lines of combat
the British relief force sped by truck
up the highway plastered by enemy
shells. The moving was remarkably
free of casualty-only one driver
was wounded.
AS in most battles. opportunities
for decision were forfeited by both
sides. The Germans failed to COM
NIT enough troops to seal off the
salient. The British, with too few
tanks among the forward elements,
passed up the golden opportunity
to capture hundreds of Germans
in crashing through to the main
defensive line AS it was, scores of
Germans went free because at the
moment no infantry was at hand
to round them up.

WB Asks Voluntary
Contract Extensions
To Prevent Strikes
BY the Associate Press.

os -tHe ASSOCldIeS Press.
In a move to eliminate strikes at
tributed by union leaders to the
absence of bargaining agreements,
the War Labor Board has laid down
a new general policy calling on en-
ployers and employees to extend ex-
piring collective bargaining con-
tracts voluntarily pending negotia-
ton of new agreements or final
settlement of any issues in dispute
That would head off such situa-
tions as those which developed in
the last year in coal and steel, where
the no contract, no work. edict by
union rank and file brought about
strikes.
The board policy was made public
today, concurrently with a report by
Secretary of Labor Perkins showing
$3.50 strikes in 1943 involving L.
100000 workers which resulted in
13,5OO,300 idle man-days. the second
largest number of work stoppages
since the European war began. The
record for preceding years was 1858
strikes in 1912, involving 839, 1861
workers; 4.288 in 1941, 2,508 in 1910.
and 2,6l3 in 1899.
