Desperately in need of so cents,
a fellow we know finally got up
enough courage to open his pay en-
velope before taking it home to his
exacting wife. Somewhat mystified
at what he found therein, he hur-
ried back to the cashier who had
given MIN the envelope.
You've given me $40 too much,
I'm afraid, he stammered.
The cashier counted the bills and
coins, then replied impatiently: Its
quite correct. suppose you've for
gotten that you got $40 raise last
month"
He placed his hand across his
eyes, shrank into his collar farther
and said family: my wife never
told me"
Once when the popular and cru
dite HSu Ping-Cheo was Chinese

can lady said to him, There is one

Understandable that is the Chinese

over the face of the great Oriental,

Plaintiff: Yes, your honor"
Judge: Then why didn't you re-

Plaintiff (pouting): well, how

money!"
BLOOD WILL TELL
And then there was the lady who
obtained three blood transfusions
from Scot. After the first, she paid
him $50. After the second, she gave
him SIS. After the third, she had
so much Scotch blood in her veins
that she merely said thank you.

Washington, D. C.-Following
the labor difficulties which re-
suited when the Brewster air
plane works began firing men be-
cause a government contract was
suddenly cancelled, there has
been much talk among Congress
men about what to do to prevent
temporary unemployment when
other contracts are terminated. 1t
is realized that as supplies of GER
tain war equipment reach the
point where there are enough re-
serves to cover all contingencies,
the government should not and
will not continue to have unneed-
ed supplies manufactured just to
keep men at work.
The obvious answer is to find
some way to provide new and
necessary work for the factories
involved, or to formulate a plan
for shifting men Immediately to
new jobs where there is a critical
need for manpower. But so far
no sound method has been work
ed out.
Proposals have been made to
provide for dismissal pay out OF
federal funds to provide for men
while they are seeking new jobs,
but Congress has been very cool
to this plan. One reason seems
to be that Congress, annoyed by
strikes and difficulties with Ia
Dor unions, cannot get much sup
port for proposals made by I'm
ions. Although Congress has been
reluctant to pass legislature curb
ing the activities of unions and
forbidding strikes, it is apparent

that the majority of Congressman
will not give the unions any posi-
tive backing.
One answer which is being con-
sidered but may not be practical,
is to give priorities for materials
for civilian goods to factories
which lose their war contracts.
But because of the continued
scarcity of vital materials this
could not be done until war or
ders are much smaller in total
than they are today. Before the
end of the year, however, if the
I European war continues to go
favorably, it is quite possible that
many civilian items, not made
since the war started, will be
manufactured again.
This week, as would be expect
ed, there is only one subject of
discussion here-the political
conventions.
The Republicans are most OPP
timistic about what will happen
in November, the chairman of the
Republican committee having
said on the eve of the convention
in Chicago that no matter what
Republican was nominated he
would be assured of victory in the
election. ~-~-
The Democrats, however, seem
to be equally certain that if Pres
ident Roosevelt runs again he will
win. Most of them think he has
a better knowledge of the politi-
cal stand of the voters of the ma
ton than is available from any
poll of public opinion and that he
would probably not run if he
thought there was a chance of de-
feat. And they feel certain that
he will run again.
After the present races, Con-
gress will convene again the first
of August, but unless there is new
and unexpected business to be
taken up it is probable that an
other recess for the month of Au-
gust will Immediately be voted.
With the political battle as close
as it appears to be, Congressman
want as much time as possible to
contact their constituents and to
carry on election campaigns. Ex-
cept for emergency legislation, it
is difficult to imagine Congress
really getting down to business
again until November.
During the month of June, how
ever, Congress probably establish
ed some sort of a record for the
amount of legislation enacted. It
was undoubtedly one of the bust
est months in Congress since the
war began. AS a result; the
must" legislation has been acted
upon and Congressman feel that
they have the right to use the
summer for other purposes.

To Aid Families
OF Men In Service
Army Signal Corps Photo

Camp Sutton, N. c. June 20
Wives and families of local Car
olinians now serving with the
Army Ground and Service Forces
were reminded this week that the
/ Army has set up special agency
to help them with problems arts
ing from their breadwinners' alb
sence on the nations business.
1t. Shirley M. Phillips, w. A. c.,
heads the Camp Sutton brance OF
this Personal Affairs Division,
whose motto is Nothing too
small-or too great" and whose
announced purpose is to provide
family men in the Service with
fifth decentralization from
worry over their dependents.
Many civilian dependents of
servicemen, 1t. Phillips points
out, and many servicemen them
selves-know they are entitled to
government help in emergencies,
but don't know how to apply for
it. A shortcut to such assistance
is furnished by the Personal At
fairs Branch, which not only re-
fers problems to the proper agen-
cies, but keeps on their track af-
: forwards. .n..x ,.:....~
To handle such assorted mat
tiers as compensation, maternity
aid, allotments, pensions, en-
ployment, civil service prefer
ment, disqualification and legal
assistance, the Personal Affairs
Branch maintains close contact
with the American Red Cross, the
Veterans Administration, the OF
flee of Dependency Benefits, other
Federal and state agencies and
such military branches as Army
Emergency Relief.
In addition to this, Personal
Affairs Branch personnel them
selves handle problems which fall
under no other agencies jurisdic-
ton. On occasion they have or
gained day-nurseries and hunted
down missing allotment checks,
all in accord with the theory that
soldier cannot give his best eff
forts to fighting the enemy when
his mind is half-occupied by anx-
iety over the troubles of his fam
lily at home.
Every Army post has its Per-
sonal Affairs Office. Its services
are available not only to soldiers
on the post, but to civilians in the
neighboring areas, whether their
servicemen-relatives are stationed
locally or in distant areas, wheth-
er they are serving actively or

! have said that we are not a
nation of moronS, but I can see
that if television as well as radio
treats us as such we may even
tually reach that status.
For although we may resist men,
tally against listening to the
worst programs, we are often ex-
posed to them, and, like bad COM
pany, they leave their influence.
Out of sheer boredom we are apt
to tune in on the installments of
a poor program in the same spirit
that many of us, with hardly any
perceptible interest, turn each day
to the comic strips in the newspa-
pers to see what the pen-and-ink
characters are up to,
But if the great forces of radio
and television are used primarily
to appeal to the lazy part of our
minds, the part that doesn't think,
there is no question that in time

SOLDIER VOTE:
President Gets Bill

Passed by congress, the compro-
mise soldier vote bill, allowing use
Of the short federal ballot if GER
titled by the governor and state bal
lots are unobtainable, found its way
to President Roosevelt's desk for sig
nature or veto.
Once outspoken in his opposition
to bill limiting soldier voting to
state ballots alone, the President
took up the compromise measure
with caution before acting, wiring
all 48 governors to report to him
whether they would permit use of
the short federal ballot, which only
lists the presidential and congress
sional offices without including the
names of the candidates.
If the governors OK. the short
federal ballot, servicemen will only
be able to use it if their states have
no absentee voting laws, or if they
have applied for state ballots but
have not received them.

the last II months, Bowles said.
Asking for retention of present
powers, Bowles said OPA would con-
tinue with present techniques for
keeping down prices, including SUBJ
sides, which he called essential.
Cattle Subsidy
To bring cattle off the range and
prevent a market glut in the fall,
OPA considered increasing packers
subsidies by 80 cents to enable them
to offer higher prices for the stock
during spring and summer.
At the same time, government Of
ficials considered placing floor un-
der medium and lower grade cattle
whose quality may be affected by
the tight feed situation, with floors
for the spring and summer above
those for the fall.
While increased subsidies were be-
ing considered for cattle, lower SUBJ
sides were being studied for hogs,
in line with government policy for
decreased pig production. Now 81 80
hundred pounds, the hog subsidy
may be cut by 80 cents.
