thwarted by other people, some
times other bureaucrats, who don
see your problems as clearly as yol

For example, there is the problem
of the war workers stomach.
For a long time we've know
that an army travels on its stomach
Napoleon said belly-but not unit
recently did it occur to anybod,
that the industrial production lin
depends on that same means o
locomotion. What the soldier eat

course, but here and there befor,

More for Money.
It occurred to some bright person
that the better the worker ate the
better he'd work. A factory full OF
vitamirs would turn out more ships
shells or whatnot than factory
suffering from vitamin deficiency
The workers wouldn't get weary or
lazy so early in the day. There
wouldn't be so many absentees be-
cause of illness. There wouldn't be
SO many accidents. All in all Uncle
Sam who pays the bill would get
more for his money.
The job to be done involved cor
recting eating habits as well as pro-
viding improved eating facilities. A
man accustomed to lunching out of
a dinner pail on cold indigestibles,
put up in hurry at home or the
boarding house, could be taught
easily to prefer a warm, well-bal-
anced meal. cooked and served In
the plant. A woman. new to indus
trial life, could be taught that such
meal would carry her further than
the funny little salad or such that
she used to whip up for herself at
noontime. And a plant manager
could be taught that good cafeteria,
even II 1t sold meals at a loss, was
still profitable investment in terms
Of sustained production.
The educational enterprise was
undertaken by the War Food Ad-
ministration, a few hundred thou
sand dollars being allotted for the
purpose and a small staff of experts
assembled
Results we're good from the begin
ming. An Alabama mill reported a
TO- per cent increase in production
two weeks after installing a program
recommended by the Government. |
A New Orleans concern found that
employees with milk in the
morning and again in the afternoon
had boosted output 13 per cent. A
New Jersey company reported a 80
per cent reduction in accidents as
a result of similar milk treatment.
An Oklahoma steel plant cut its
accident rate so per cent by setting
up q first-class lunch room. A re-
duction in labor turnover was re-
ported by virtually all concerns that
tried out any part of the Govern
ment program.

Employers, where exposed to the

can't breakfast like a bird and work

poster put up to encourage workers
to use the new plant restaurant in

 "Subjectivityo has been: diagnos ed as the failing of our age; an exaggerated sensitivity (not sen sibility) which chaffs at restraints, and seeks an easy agress from diff faculties. It is patent that such an attitude can lead to psychological and communal lesions, for truth is one, and is unaffected by the par ticular color of the glasses you select. .-
 Justice is an all-embracing term covering the other guy too. Rough up a man in the outfit and all par take of the hurt, in accordance with the law of give and take, sometimes called the law of com pensation, or the law of action and reaction. That is the paradox of life, and none but the emotionally mature can see it. Those who per- petually seek their own gain end up devoid of all, including self-re- spect. Those who seek to give them selves have everything else added unto them.
 A lot has been written about the impending transition from soldier to civilian. It is trite but true to say that the stress (if any) will be mainly psychological. Wouldn't be bad idea then to do little more reading on today's trends, to cushion this change of pace. You made good in the army, and you'll make good in the peace, but ad- vance training in neither does any harm. There's a lot of good read ing around today incorporating many constructive ideas worth mulling over: the split up of tha uranium atom didn't just happen; it was the product of mems think ing and searching.
