OAKLAND GIRL IS CLERK IN FISCAL

Mrs. Cecilia Spauiding is Term ed
Type of Worker Government
Needs

Airs. Cecilia Spaulding, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Kerins, 9 Oak
street, is considered by the Army Ser
vice Forces to be typical Of the girls
they urgently need to work as stenog-
raphers and typi$ts in Washington.
D. c.
Employed as a clerk in the Fiscal
Division of Chemical Warfare Ser
vice-one Of ASF's seven technical
scrvices-Mrs. Sparkling has learned
! for herself, by two and one-half years
of on-the-scene experience of working
| in wartime Washington, that the many
| Jobs now waiting more and more civil
| liam fighters must be filled if our ire
mendous lifeline OF men and material
is to continue. The Chemical Warfare
Service, for which Mrs Spaulding
works, deals with supplying the Navy
and Marine Corps, as well as the
! Army, with all chemical weapons and
munitions She auditS shipping re-
quests for gas masks, incendiary ma
tcrials and other protective devices.
Mrs. Spaulding is ever alert to
ASF's great need for more workers
to keep more supplies constantly on
the move because her husband Cor
poral Raymond Spaulding, is stationed
at Fort George G. Meade in the in
fantry and will soon, she says-with
an understandable rcgret-be sent in
to the actual fighting overseas.
Already overseas in action, one Of
her brothers, Private Regis J. kerins.
is with US infantry forces in Italy;
still another brother, Captain George
j. kerins a statistican, has probably
been moved into Germany; and her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucille Houck Ker-
ms, is captain of Red Cross Club
mobile unit operating in France.
A brothcr-in-law, Fireman second
class George S. Truly. husband of
Dolores kcrins Truly, has been in the
Navy since 1914 and is now on duty
in the South Pacific
Until her husband is shipped over
seas, Mrs. Spaulding is apprcciative
of the fact that she can live near him
and, at the same time, know that her
war-iob with the ASST in Washington !
is enabling her to do her utmost in !
helping to bring this world conflict
to the victory the Allies so rightly ,
deserve.
Graduating from Oakland High
School in 1892, Mrs Spaulding readily
admits that war duties still leave her
ample time to enjoy her favorite
sports, to read. swim and continue the |
study of piano which she began in
high school Her ASST Personnel
Branch eXerts every possible effort
to keep her and all War Department
workers, informed Of the countless OPP
portunities to participate in Washing
tons extensive and varied recreations
and entertainments.
Before coming to Washington to
work with ASF, Mrs. Spauld.ng was
employed as clerk and bookkceper
for J. W. jackson Company and later
she worked at the Economy Market.

known then, as II knows now, that
the war was in no prospect OF being
over. The New Deal is a planned
economy. II has established con
tolls over the American people on
the assumption that a planned eco
nomy is superior to the hit-and
miss methods OF what they call
laisseZfaire.
Well, what kind OF planning is
II that permits output OF munitions
TO begin tapering on Just before
the really significant and important
battles of the war? Production,
according to the report | am quot.
ing, tapered of five per cent from
November l943 10 September 1914.
Why? Who planned that idiocy
And during that period. employ
ment dropped ten per cent, from
10 400, 900 workers to $4,000 900
workers? And what happened to
the laid-off workers? The report
says:
o.. The more than proportionate
decrease in employment was due
primarily TO the increased output
per worker as a result OF improved
utilization OF labor and growing
experience in munitions produc-
ton. ."
But the President apparently De-
lieves that all the shortages in
shells and other munitions OF war
are due to a manpower shortage
Has someone told him wrong again !
In the airplane industry. the de
creae in employment for this period
amounted to l5 per cent although
output remained high.
Then this report says: ". AT
tainment OF many OF the scheduled
goals in the critical items may well
be considered problematical in
view OF shortages OF facilities and
needed components for new pro
ducts which are wanted in large
volume. Numerous technical diff.
ficulties also stand in the way OF
sharp increases in the production
of specific items needed. These
problems are now hampering the

Apparently the President Is util-
izing the distress over our difficult

For. says the report:
THE decline in employment in
the munitions industries of approx
mately 10 per cent between the
peak In November i943 and Sep
tember 1914 was due largely TO
downward revisions in many pro-
grams and increased output per
worker in many industries: there
is no indication that any appreci-
able part of this decline was due

SideIiqhts on The News
BY FREDERICK c. OTHAM


I've just spent the day at the
Pentagon with the army's advice-tU-
the-iOyelorn department and | wish
you could have been along. You
sh0uld have seen those poor devils
sweat.
The Army Postal Service handles
4O,0OO,O00 letters a week IL gets
also 5000 weekly complaints about
terrible service and my man, a
Lieutenant Colonel who can't be
named here because Of the rules,
must answer the kicks. Most Of
them, he has discovered, concern
love: mostly he has to grit his
teeth and play cupid.
There was, for instance, the lady
in Kansas who said she hadn't
heard from her husband In Italy
IN months and what was the matter
with the army, anyhow? My man
had one Of his assistants in Italy
interview the soldier, who said the
reason his wife hadn't received any
mail from him since May :, 1914,
was because he hadn't written her.
lie added that he didn't intend to
write her.
The love-lorn department Is
wondering at this writing how to
tell the missus. 1t aint easy.
I'VE have considerable mother
in-law trouble the army COM
plaint man said, 'and Il great
deal Of grief caused by guys who
get letters from girls and tear 'cm
up without answering. Then we
get ladies who send off soldiers to
the wars after meeting 'em at
a dance, and address letter to
Pvt. John Doe, six feet two inch
es. tall, dark brown eyes, curly
hair, somewhere in France. We
cant deliver such mail, nor can we
undertake 10 give addresses of sold
iers To anyone except members Of
their immediate families
Once in n while the love-lorn
man receives a letter that gives
him a smile, such as the one from
the lady in Minnesota who wrote
that her son in the South Sea Is
lands was mcticulous young man.
He wanted to do his own washing
his mother wondered how she
could ship him an electric washing
machine.
Regret military necessity will
not permit" began the letter that
answered her.
Numerous citizens ask how to
pack ice cream for shipment over
seas; there's no chance Of it, One
mother wanted TO send her son a
consignment of lard. so he could
have some home-fried potatoes. An
other thought her son might like
a bathing suit He was stationed
in Greenland, which sounded like
a pleasant, balmy place to her
That's one trouble with people"
the loye-lorn Colonel said. They
don't know much about geography.
They seem to think it is as easy
TO get letter 10 Karachi as to
Dubuque. Actually we're giving
hetter international mail service to
soldiers than civilians ever had be-
fore the war"
About then an orderly came in
with more complaints, including one
from Il wife. who said her dentist
husband hadn't received a letter
from her in weeks. She enclosed
his note, which said that II he
didn't get some mail in hurry, he
| intended to corral every mail clerk
in North Africa and pull out his
teeth. "II-M-M-M-M-M,'? tho
Colonel said.
one other thing: You've got un'
til the 10th of this month TO send
valentine greetings abroad. The
love-lorn department said 1t expect
ed about 10,00O,000 hearts-and.
