Metal Trades Unions Open
 Campaign for Higher Wages

Washington, D. GAEL metal trades unions pressed double-bar- relied campaign on behalf of more than half million workers in navy yards and other military establish ments with higher wages and more jobs as the twin goals of the drive.
 On the wage end, the unions are seeking pay rate increases sufficient to make up for the loss in take home earnings due to the reduction Of the workweek from 48 to 40 hours.
 Delegates from the Metal Trades councils over the country assembled In Washington to confer with high Navy Department officials on the wage demands.
 These conferences are a follow up on a previous barley held by chiefs of the Metal Trades Depart ment with President Truman at
The sub., 1945-10-11

which, among other reconversion problems, the issue of higher wages for Navy yard employees was taken up. At that time the President voiced sympathy with the request.
 Should the direct negotiations with the Navy Department fail to get results, the unions plan to carry the battle to Congress. At their request, Senator William Langer has already introduced a bill that would maintain 48 hours pay for a 40-hour week.
 Meanwhile, the unions are also seeking to have more work as- signed to arsenals, torpedo plants and other military establishments, to preserve the jobs of workers in these units. Unlike private industry, these es- tablishments cannot convert to pro- duction of peacetime articles, it was pointed out by N. P. Alias, presi- dent of District A, International Association of MachinistS.
 "As a result, there have been heavy layoffs in arsenals, torpedo stations and other government-op- erated plants where ordnance items have been manufactured" Alias explained.
 These plants can't go in for the manufacture of civilian goods. For that reason, we are urging the War and Navy Departments to transfer to these establishments contracts l with private companies for produc- ton of items that can readily be

GrOtOn NOn-PGrtiSGn League Scores Round TrUO

Non-Partisan League scores for round two in the fight to obtain a bathing and recreation beach fro Groton residents.
 On Monday night, October l, the Warden and Burgesses at their reg ular meeting voted to call special meeting of the voters of Groton Borough on or before November 6, to cast a vote for or against the purchase of the Tyler Beach Prop erty to be made into bathing beach for the people of Groton. This is the best break the children of Groton ever had and am speak ing for kids of all ages.
 It Is now up to the voters of Groton to get behind the Non-Par- tisan League and vote for this all important question. A lot of hard, diligent work was put into this matter by the League members, to surmount the objections of the Borough Fathers and the residents of Eastern Point against the pur- chase of the beach property. We feel that we can prove that the Borough purchase of this site for a bathing beach for the people of Groton, will not in any way hurt the value of any property or the feelings of any of the residents of Eastern Point.
 The people of Groton are law abiding and know how to conduct themselves and the actions of their children in an orderly manner at all times.
 MT. Desmond, the Simsbury ar- chitect, who prepared the plans for c. Washington Park, gave lot of his time and thought going over the Tyler property and prepared estimates and costs which he pre- sented to the Warden and Bur- gesses at their last meeting, which show that the beach can be self supporting from the first year of operation.
 The purchase price of forty thou sand dollars to which Is added an estimated ten thousand dollars for improvements, can be borrowed from most any bank. The interest on the principle will be around one thousand dollars per year. The estimated revenue from the beach and concessions will be sev- eral times that of the interest, SC on the whole 1t should be self supporting.
 The revenue is based on the ad- mission price of 15c for residents oi Groton and 25c for those from out of town, 85c parking for all cars and there will be ample parking space.
 Perhaps Harry Brogan can per- sudae the bus company to run buses to the beach?
 Compare these costs for a day al the beach here in Groton and the
The sub., 1945-10-11

time and expense of getting to Ocean Beach, New London.
 Remember, fellow voters, it is now up to you to tote the ball the rest of the way. We have done our part to get this proposition before the people of Groton, but without your active help at the meeting on November 6, what we have done will mean zero zero, for all the op- position will be out in force to vote the measure down. You can depend on that, for not all the Burgesses were in favor of this by any means.
 You will hear all kinds of cock and bull stories about the beach, mostly from Eastern Point people and real estate men.
 They will say the beach is too small, too many rocks, not enough sand, tide too low, tide too high, no tide at all, and many others just as silly. So what! We never had q beach so how do they know it is too small, and if we do have to sit on rocks, at least they will belong to the people of Groton and not be on someone elses property.
 So remember the date of the meeting and bring your friends. This is a real treat for the chill dren of Groton. If you have no kiddies of your own, just ask the man next door what he thinks of 1t for his boys and girls and listen to his answer.

turned out in the government facin- ties.
 Such a plan will have double advantage. It will enable the pri- vate companies to convert immedi- ately to production of peacetime goods, and at the same time it will make jobs for the thousands who have been dropped at the govern ment plants
 The problem of layoffs Is not quite so severe in navy yards proper, Alias explained.
 Navy yards are likely to keep operating at a fairly high level for sometime-at least we have been so assured by the Navy Department ,' he declared. For considerable pe- riod the yards will be kept busy on the repair and reconditioning of ships in the American war fleet as they return to home ports"

 Sally - I told her = keep your food fresh! Manufacturers of many food products have made it easy for us to keep foods as appetizing and nutritious as the day they were packed. This saves by cut ting down on wastes! They have put waxed paper Things in the packages which keep foods fresh all the time they are on the gro- cer's shelves - and, if you always take care to turn down the top of the inside wrap - the waxed paper will keep that food just as fresh as the day it left the factoryl
 For instance, cereals are gener- ally packed in waxed paper. I've found that it takes just a few ex- tra seconds after breakfast to carefully re-close that cereal in the waxed lining and my last serv- ing is always just as fresh as the first! And there are hundreds of other items packed in waxed paper, too - bread, potato chips, marsh mallows, crackers, bakery goods = to mention just a few.
 I've discovered that I can save dollars every month - just by using waxed paper! And now |. even though the war Is over {. most of us still have to conserve = and I think using waxed paper is one of the best ways to do itI
