Aided
BY Youthful
War Workers
BY RUTH MILLETT

The National Child Labor Com
mittee is going to study the war
born system of paid employment
OF high school students under
olan organized and supervised by
the schools to see if there is a
place for such a set-up in the
postwar world.
The committee is, of course, in
terested in such things as: Does
a job increase the students inter-
est in schools and is his work IA
vorably or adversely affected?"
But whatever is decided about
the effect supervised work has on
high school kids, it is certain it
has helped the family wage earn
er.
Before the war the American
ideal was for parents to educate
their children from the first year
through college without any eff
fort on the children's part-outside
of going to school. If the chill
dren had to work to pay their way
or part Of their way through high
school and college, then the par
ents felt they had fallen down on
their job.
But the war came along and
opened up all kinds of work to
high school and college students.
Since their working was looked on
with favor, parents didn't have 10
feel they had failed because the
children were earning their own
spending money and often their
own cloths and school expenses
BUDGET CRAMPED
In many a middle class or poor
er home that was god-send. Ed
ucation no longer cramped the
family budget to the place where
the parents were doing all the
work and all the sacrificing.
If it proved that high school stu
dents working under the proper
conditions are not handicapped in
the class room, it is going to be
break for parents. And perhaps
for future generations, too. In the
days when children were expected
to help pay their own way large
families were the rule and not the
exception. Average parents just
can't afford more than one or two
children under the system where
children are completely subsidized
until they are % or even older, if
they 60 into a profession that takes
special training after college.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION


Anne Belle Hughes, Complainant
VS..
Housman Hughes, Defendant
In the Circuit Court for Cecil COUNTY
Equity Number 631S
The object of this Bill lis to secure
a decree divorcing the Complainant
a vinculo matrimonii from the De-
fendant.
The Bill states that the Complain
ant was married to the Defendant on
the 22nd day of August, 1912, in
Baltimore City, Maryland, with
whom she resided until the 18th day
of September, 1943; that, though the
conduct of the Complainant towards
the said Defendant has always been
kind, affectionate and above re-
proach, the said Defendant has, with
out any just cause or reason, aban-
doned and deserted her and has de-
clared his intention to live with her
no longer, and that such abandon
ment has continued uninterruptedly
for at least eighteen months, and is
deliberate and final, and the separa-
tion beyond any reasonable expecta-
ton of reconciliation; that no child
rem were born to said marriage; that
the Complainant has resided in Cecil
County for more than one year past
before the filing OF this Bill, and the
Defenadnt resides in Buffalo, New
York, or elsewhere beyond the juris-
diction of this Court The Bill then
prays for decree divorcing the
Complainant from the Defendant d
vinculo matrimonii, and for such
other and further relief as her case
may require.
1T is THEREUPON, this 2Sth
day of March, 1916, by the CIRCUIT
COURT FOR CECIL COUNTY, IN
EQUITY, ORDERED that TIE Com
plainant cause a copy of tkis Order,
with the object and substance of the
per published in Cecil County once
a week for four successive weeks, be-
fore the 30th day of April, 1945,
giving notice to the Defendant, who

Rate of Remarriage
Is High in Country

Remarriage is an important part
of the country's vital statistics, since
one out of every eight grooms or
brides have been married before.
Age for age, the rates of marriage
for the widowed or divorced are
twice as high as for the single. For
women, both single and separated,
the best age of marriage is from 70
to "a; for men it is from 25 to 29.
A study of New England marriages,
probably representative of the whole
country, shows very rapid drop
after those ages.
Men remarry far oftener in the
forties and later than do women,
frequently marrying much younger
women. The male head of broken
family needs and gets wife,
woman with dependent children
finds it difficult to get a husband.
Women are often handicapped in re-
lation to this because frequently
pension funds for widows, and often
provisions in wills as well, require
that the allowance be stopped if the
widow remarries.
The remarriage rate among the
younger divorces is remarkably
high, which suggests that divorces
among young people are stimulated
by the thought of an immediate re-
marriage.

Good Paint Jobs Require
Preparation of Surface

First-class paint jobs of any kind
call for thorough preparation of
the surface. Regardless of quality,
no paint can give good results unless
the surface to be painted is dry and
free of dust, grease and dirt.
Glossy surfaces should be sanded,
dirt taken off by brushing or scrap
ing, all dust thoroughly removed
with a soft bristle brush or duster
and grease cleaned away with tur-
pentine or a strong alkaline solution
followed by thorough warm water
rinse. Surfaces which have been
washed should be allowed to dry
thoroughly before paint is applied.
Many bad paint jobs are due to
application of successive coats with
out allowing sufficient time for dry
ing of each coat; failure to stir the
paint well before application; failure
to brush out the paint vigorously or
leaving heavy spots which sag and
dry slowly, and sometimes the ap-
plication of succeeding coats of wide
ly different chemical composition.

Gateway City Of Amazon
Gets Feet Out of Water

After more than two centuries Of
almost amphibious existence, Belem,
the chief port and portal Of Brazips
great Amazon valley, is getting its
feet out Of the water for the first
time.
This notable achievement is the
result of a $500, 100000 dixie system
built by the joint efforts of the Bra
lillian and United States govern
ments, whose Representatives collab-
GRATED in a recent dedication cere-
mony.
The impelling reason for the dixie
system, however, was not to reclaim
land. 1t was to save lives. 1t was
conceived by Brazilian and United
States doctors, working shoulder to
shoulder, as major effort to elm
mate malaria and other tropical dis
eases that have scourged Belem and
environs throughout its history. 1t
was built literally by the hands of
thousands of Brazilian workmen, be-
cause of wartime scarcity of ma
chinery.

Aircraft Industry
Expands with War

! Before the war, the aircraft indus
try was progressive but relatively
small segment of the total industry
engaged in manufacturing transpor-
tation equipment. Total employ
ment in the entire aeronautical in
dustry at the beginning of 1940 prob
ably did not exceed 100000 workers.
Workers in airframe plants, the larg-
est section Of the industry, received,
on the average, $27.85 weekly in
1910.
The demands of war have made
the aircraft industry, in four years,
one of the nations major indus
tries in terms of employment and
output. Some observers fatty state
that aircraft manufacturing is now
four or five times larger than the
automobile industry was at it's peak,
before converting to war production.
AS far as employment is concerned
this is nearly correct.
Peak employment in the aeronau-
tical industry was reached in the lat
ter part of 1943, when about 2,l0O,OO
were at work-2O times the number
four years earlier. BY August of
this year, aircraft employment had
dropped IA per cent from the peak,
to total of 1,8OO,OO Wage earners
in automobile, body and parts fac
tories in 1910 numbered 448,000; in
1941, just before conversion, 513, ,00O
The weekly pay envelope of the
average automotive worker in 1910
was larger than the corresponding
envelope of the airframe worker,
amounting to $34.08. In August, 1914,
the airframe worker was getting
$45.85 on the average.

MARYLAND WOODLANDS ARE
"CREAMED" OF BEST TIMBER

So J. called Selective cutting OF
Maryland woodlands has "creamed"
them of the best timber, leaving
poor, crooked, and in many cases,
worthless trees. This statement was
made by Harry w. Dengler, extern
sion forester at the University of
Maryland, in request for immediate
research on the utilization of low
grade trees from more tEan 1,5OO,-
900 acres of Maryland farm wood
lands.
Such trees, Dengler stated, must
be removed to provide space for more
valuable species. Studies show that
there may be as high as Is cords to
the acre of this material which must
be removed to put the woods in a
productive condition. Much of this
material is unsuited either for pulp
wood or firewood.
"Unless profitable new uses are
discovered for these worthless trees
through imaginative research" he
said, "the producing capacity of the
farm woodlands will be seriously i'm
paired with a continued reduction in
the production of useful products. >
One of the main reasons for Ger
many's early superiority, Dengler
brought out, is that long ago the
German Reich recognized the value
of her forests and carried on inten-
sive research to develop them to
their fullest use. Many of the latest
chemical and chronological develop
ments in wood credited to United
States scientists were known and in
commercial production in Germany
more than 10 years ago.

PrOteins Vary

Not all proteins are OF equal
value; some are more efficient than
others in building and maintaining
tissues. In fact, it may take twice
as much of certain plant proteins
as of some ANIMAL proteins to build
the same number Of cells. In gen.
eral, animal proteins are higher In
value than plant proteins, such as
legumes and cereals. Soybeans by
far surpass other plant proteins in
quantity and quality of protein.
Contrary to beliefs held heretofore,
it is not harmful to eat more pro-
tein than is needed, nor do per-
sons doing hard physical work re-
quire extra protein food. The rate
of tissue breakdown is not affected
by work; therefore hard workers re-
quire only extra calories for
energy. The extra energy may be
supplied by fat or carbohydrates, al
though protein foods make high
calorie diet more palatable.

Basic Seven

The basic seven food guide sug-
gests that to keep healthy and
strong some food from each of its
seven groups should be eaten each
day. Four of these groups contain
vegetables. Group one includes
green and yellow vegetables, group
two, the raw salad green's and to-
matoes, group three, the vegetables
not named in one and two, and in
group five, dried peas and beans are
listed along with meats, poultry
and fish because of their protein con-
tent. The vegetable plate which Is
so popular for luncheons and sup
pers is an excellent way of serving
a meal from the garden. The vege-
tables should be selected wisely so
that the meal will be nutritious, ap-
petizing and appealing to the eye.
A bread, a beverage and a fruit
salad, or dessert, are all that are
necessary to complete satisfying
meal.

Washday Hazard

Washday can be hazardous one
unless similar precautions against
electrical shock are taken In the
laundry. To guard against an insu-
lation breakdown in the machine
and a possible dangerous shock,
have an electrician connect spe-
cial grounding wire between the
frame of the washer and water
pipe. With such wire in place,
an insulation breakdown will be in
dicated Immediately by blowing of
a fuse.
Not all shocks around the home
can be attributed to live electrical
equipment. When the atmosphere
is dry, charges of electricity may
be acquired by a persons body.
When he walks across a rug or
linoleum. If while holding such a
charge, the person touches a metal
object, he receives mild but harm
less little shock.

Plasticize Porkers

Traditional hog scalding to re-
move the hair in butchering may
soon be "out," replaced by new
scientific method. In the new proc
ess porkers are plasticized and
peeled.
The dead hog is submerged in a
tank of liquid plastic, then pulled
out coated with the sticky stuff.
When properly cooled, the plastic is
stripped off, taking all the hair with
it. The process is quick, clean, thor
ough and economical.
The plastic used is a resin chemi-
cal. After being used on one hog
it is remelted and used again and
again. Bristles, whiskers, stubble
and hairs are removed from the liq-
uid before it is reused. They are
Just as suitable for commercial uses
as if they had been removed by the
old scalding-scraping method.

Insurance Assets

A significant commentary on fire
insurance management is the fact
that the companies have maintained
high degree Of diversification and
unusual liquidity in their invested
assets. At the end of 1943, an aver
age of approximately AZ per cent
of total assets was invested in stocks
by 1876 representative companies,
as compared with 1915 per cent In
bonds, such investments conforming
with state regulatory requirements.
Included in the stock total are both
common and preferred issues along
with substantial holdings Of insur-
ance stocks, the latter representing
almost entirely stocks Of affiliated
companies-both fire and casualty
which companies in turn maintain
investment portfolios that include
large bond holdings.
