and an encouraging faith in the
future OF America
They always will recall those
desperate days OF the automobile
strikes, when the giants Of Michi-
gans great industry were hope
lessly seeking a common ground
on which TO establish peace, and
how President Roosevelt dictated
a settlement which right or
wrong - brought a new under
standing between the men at the
machines and the men in the top

SO when Congressman Dingell
and Eesinski wept today, their
tears were the tears of the man

ADDRESS GIVEN
 ON ELECTRONICS

Practical applications of electron- ics indicate that the industry will have a profound effect on our post war living, Lawrence M. Duryee, Industrial Power Engineer at the Connecticut Light & Power company, and electronics instructor at Yale University, told the members of the Kiwanis club at yesterdays meeting His topic was "Electronics in the Postwar World. MT. Duryee de- ciared that electronics is entering every field of endeavor reducing living costs, making wider distribu- ton of products and thus increas- ing improvement.
 It accounted for $4,000, ,00O, ,000 worth of activity in 1944 as com- pared with only $1,0O0, ,0O0, ,00O in l94l. The use of electronics results in extremely complicated machines but the training in pure science is not, in the opinion of the speaker, pro- ducing human beings He stated that the machine we are building may be much bigger than the men who run it. He pleaded for a greater in- terest in our educational program Sc that the scientific trend can be counteracted by education and hu- manitarian programs.

WE, THE WOMEN
THE WOMEN--- Even "The Stomach" Loses Appetite At Butcher Shop

sure he was eating, SO he rarely got such a dish second time.
 TIMES HAVE CHANGED
 But times have changed and now the average man is grateful to have a meal that includes meat two or three times a week. Weekly he accepts all kinds of crazy dishes, that the food writers trot out as meat-stretchers. If he gets tough old round steak for Sunday dinner, he beams, and tells the little woman - or she tells him-how smart she was to manage it on her points.
 So judging from the drastic way they have changed their own mems eating habits, wives ought to have confidence in the three point plan the wife of "The Stomach" has advanced as hel proposed appetite killer.
 But there's still another step if the first three fail. She can send him to the butcher, ration books in hand, and let him stand in line for an hour and then face a near-empty meat case, and the aloof attitude of the butcher. That will fix him, sure.

 Well, her plan is very simple. She says she will first have talk with him and show him the fam ily's allotment of ration points. Then she will feed him a good family meal, with emphasis on no seconds. And third she'll show him a price table she has conn., piled on the increase in the cost of living.
 She thinks those three steps will curb his unrationed appetite, even if Army doctors fail to figure out the cause for it. And she's probably right. Look at the way thousands of other wives have changed the eating habits of their husbands by the very same three steps.
 Time was when the average wife. catered to all her husbands s food whims. If he liked roast beef rare. and could pay for it, that was what he got. If his favorite meal included thick steaks and apple pie - it was served to him at least twice a week.

 Makeup must match skintone Lipstick must follow the natural line of the mouth, and cheek rouge, if it's used at all, suggests the mar- est blush. Every stitch of old-make up must be peeled off before you ap- ply new.
 Go easy on the eye makeup. A pencil lightly aplied to your brows - if they're sun-bleached - and little mascara touched to the tips of lashes, if color there has done a fade-away, are all the younger stars are allowed.
