The Yard Stroller

The Metal Trades Council leaders have been hvaing more than their share recently in family sickness and troubles. You don't hear any personal gripping among any of them, though. They are still on the job working for the boys and gals 24 hours day.
 Al Farinas wife has been hos pitalized and ill for a number of weeks and Al for some time has had to lead a hand to mouth existence, eating out of restaurants, while Stella was in the hospital.
 One of the leading Boilermakers' stewards, Charlie Chapman has re- gently undergone the same heart breaking experience, with his wife Stella, who had to be confined for some time in the Contagious Hos- pital in New London, while she was critically i'll with pneumonia.
 Many of us are so bound up in our own personal affairs and what the Union is going to do for us that we fail to consider the boys who know no quitting time in their eff forts in our behalf. These men all work for your interests without a cent of compensation. They deserve at least a little word of apprecia- ton and a whole lot of considera- tion from every Union man and woman!

HudsOn-ShOre Labor School Open to Workers
Signal Corps Photo


 May, 1946 MT. Roland Bishop
 Editor of The Sub
 Dear MT. Editor:
 As reader of your paper, which II consider essential reading for any, one interested in labor news, wish to call attention to a combined va cation opportunity which may interest some of your readers.
 The Hudson Shore Labor School, which used to be held on the Bryn Mawr College campus, and used to admit only women, now has both men and women attending it's ses- sions, and now convenes in beauti- full (and coolD spot up the Hudson across from Poughkeepsie. AL though the most rewarding thing is to go to the full six-Week seS- sion Gune 29 to Aug. 10 this year), it is also possible to go for shorter periods. The school is not run on the conventional lines; classes are either discussions as in economics subjects like grievance pro- cedures, labor legislation, etc) or workshops (posters, drama for labor groups, etc). As a former teacher in the school, I can testify that it is one of the most exhilarating ex- periences I ever heard of, for every body concerned; as one would eX- pect in a democratic adult group, the practical knowledge and ex- perience of the students themselves is pooled for everyone's advantage.
 It struck me that there might well be some men or women at FEB who would just as soon have a little more training in writing for union papers, in parliamentary procedure or public speaking, or information on workable techniques in union organization, legislation touching workers rights and welfare, and so on. In most cases, unions put up a portion of the costs, but I have never known money to stand in the way of an interested candidate. Moreover, the Service League at Connecticut College has for some years made a considerable contribu- tion, hence there have been several students from the New London vicinity (women workers). One c. C. student has a chance at going to the school in the capacity of assistant, so that there is ready made tie-up for later cooperation on labor nd-student forums, politi- cal action, and so forth, during the year following.
 I am enclosing a pamphlet giv- ing some information, which I hope that you as Editor will keep in your office to show interested persons. Since the Director of the School may later make a visit to FEB, I think it would be excellent if any reader who has the least interest in this type of thing would mention his or her interest to you.
 Yours very sincerely,
 ROSemOnd TuVe

Often we hear or read about
dangers which insects bring to
mankind. or of the damage which
insects do.
Happily the insect tribe contains
many members which can be classed
as friends" Bees give us honey.
and silkworms are the young of
certain moths.
There are hundreds of kinds of
insects which do good deeds for
people. AS an example, the Gallo
soma beetles fight against the in
sect pests known as gypsy moths.
Gypsy moths are among the
worst enemies of trees. They de-
stroy forest trees, shade trees and
fruit trees.
No record exists of any gypsy
moths flying around this continent
until n years ago. They lived in
Europe long before that.
A Frenchman decided to make
tests with several kinds of moths,
and carried out his tests in Massa-
chusetts. He believed he could find
moths besides those in the silkworm
group which would produce silk.
Among the moths he tested we're
gypsy moths, and several of them
escaped from his cages.
Those gypsy moths spread over
New England. BY 1900. millions Of
dollars of damage had been done
by gypsy moths. In 10 years OF
the last century, the State of Massa-
chusetts alone spent s1,000,000 in
efforts to control these moths.
Calosoma beetles help to keep
them under control. These beetles
like nothing better than to feed
on the caterpillars which come from
eggs laid by gypsy moths.

What Is the Origin?

San Francisco: A friend of mine
in Europe who teaches English has
asked me to explain what Ameri-
cans mean by the term cute" Can
you tell me, and also give its origin?
*. D. A.
Answer-First of all, the origin
of cute is rather surprising. 1t is
the word acute" with "a cut off
Cute is not listed in Noah Webster S
original American Dictionary. But
cute is mentioned in De Vere's
"Americanisms' Q872) as being
almost word of its own. being
stronger in its peculiar meaning
than the fuller form, and almost
exclusively applied to Yankees.
H. L. Mencken the American
Language states that cute was
already secure in revolutionary
days.
At first, cute meant, having nice
or quick sensibility." 1t next came
to mean "sharp-witted; clever" "
Then it took on the meaning: AT
tractive by reason of daintiness or
picturesqueness in manners or
