morning. Her children go to nurs-
cry school during the day, but she
picks them up when she gets off
work, and is home in time for an
early dinner.
The minimum wage a girl
can earn in the industry is so
cents an hour, but that is when
she is working at the lowest
possible productive capacity.
Experienced girls command
more right from the start, and
once a worker has become pro-
ficient at her job, she can earn
as high as $1.25 an hour. The
average wage for most of the
workers is IS cents an hour,
or an average of $4,000 for a
five-day week. Vera has taken
home pay checks as high as
$51.O0 to show for her five
days work.
Another thing she likes about
her job is that she has a chance to
clock styles in advance of their
release in the stores, and to get
acquainted with the fabrics and
materials so that when she shops
for her own clothes, she knows
what to look for. Girls employed
in the garment industry can buy
their clothes direct from the firms
they work for at cost or wholesale
prices without having to pay the
middleman's profit attached to the
cost of store dresses and suits.
They get the same privilege at any
dress firm located in the building

Murim Anderson Career Repeated:
Ignored In States,
Ellabelle Davis Scores
Latin American Hit

comparatively unknown American soprano making
her first concert appearances outside the United States has
scored triumph unprecedented the annals of Latin Aer
music and has been hailed by the press Mexico City
"a voice of century, the revelation of which ves in news

value WITH the discovery OF u
The fantastic triumph of
Ellabelle Davis is the talk of all
of the artistic centers," Ell Uni
versal GraficO reports, "and all
agree that hers is a voice of the
rarest beauty which happens
once in a century" while FL Uni
versal observes that The tri-
umph of Ellabelle Davis is
really without precedent in
Mexico and makes US remember
the first performances of Horo-
witt, Iturbi and Heifetz." The
Novedades, stating that since
Marian Anderson, We have not
heard anything like this, and we
have heard some very famous
singers" adds that Miss Davis
is a voice which -compensates
us for all the mechanical twitter-
ing birds of North American
bluff" Summing up, Ell Nacional
reports that, IF the most hair
raising happening of the moment
for the entire world is the atomic
bomb, the most sensational and
atomic adventure of the musical
world is the revelation of Ella
belle Davis, who will create a
positive revolution in our midst"
Audience Enthralled
Miss Davis, who was engaged
for a single concert appearance at
Mexico City's Palace of Fine Arts
on August 9, by the SDciedad
Musical Daniel, was altogether IN
known to the music public of the
Latin American capital before that
time, and, as a result, an extremely
sparse audience was on hand for
the opening of her program.
So sensational was the success
which Miss Davis Immediately
scored that, at intermission time,
of the audience rushed
outside to spread the news; and
by the time the soprano had reached
her final group, the vast theatre
was filed to standing room capac,
ity. In the ensuing four weeks
Miss Davis was obliged to give
five more recitals in the Palace Of
Fine Arts, each to an SRO audience
with winding queues of prospective
ticket buyers extending completely
around the square block each time
the sale of admissions began.
As a result of the unprece-
denied triumph scored by the
soprano in Mexico City, the
SOciedad Musical Daniel, which
sponsors all major concert ac-
tivity throughout South and Gen.
trail America, has arranged with
Miss Davis American manage
ment, the National Concert and
Artists Corporation, to postpone
engagements scheduled for the
singer in the United States dur
ing September and October so
that she may undertake a con-
cert tour of thirteen different
South and Central American
cities before returning to this
country. Accordingly, Miss Davis
has left Mexico City for appear
ances in Peru, Chile, Argentina,
Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Trini-
dad and Cuba.
Returns in October
She will return to the United
States during the last week of DC.
tober, and will make her first ap.
pearance of the season here as the
musical keynote of the New York
Herald Tribune forum at the Wal.
dorf-Astoria hotel in New York
City on October 81. She will give

Why Not Follow Their Example?

postwar plans of Memphis Tennessee plants Each
after and how many employees expected
Hugh NJ Magevney J director of the War Manpowre
Commission Memphis commenting the publication of the
plans of these industries stated that had long
way toward keeping workers job Not only
published plans essened the anxiety of workers concerning future
jobs they also enabled other
manufacturing fields to begin planning with confidence
Why Hagerstown plants do the thing?
Back in September l943 The Globe independent published
of interviews with leaders and ndusias a-
gerstown the War But that time nuast unable
guess when the would be forced their
plies to talk largely in generaliies.
Last there quite bit of activity concerning postwar
plans with the Chamber of Commerce. Junior Chamber
and the Retailers Bureau all planning
committees But here again halt had be called due largely
the inability of industry look clearly the future owing
to the uncertainty to the wars end,
But today the situation is entirely different
1t obvious that the European phase the war is rapidly
drawing close and also obvious Pacific
Iheater of Operations the aps entirely the defensive
bringing that phase of the much than anyone
Of short year ago
In view of these undenabe facts isn't fairly obvious that
Hageown's industries by now be getting pretty
clear picture of their postwar plans.
IF uppositon correct to ask that they
tell the citizens of the community something about them?
We would like to that the Chamber of Commerce
Postwar Planning Committee the ball rolling by calling
round table conference of civic and industrial leaders, postwar
planning committees of the Chamber and the Retailers
Bureau and representatives of labor which time industry would
have opportunity discuss their postwar plans perhaps
authorize the Chamber of Commerce public statement
