That's as good an explanation
as any other" conceded Grandma,
blowing a wreath of smoke toward
the ceiling. "And if amnesia is

Beatrice. She has the eyes and chin

Beatrice gasped.
Probably, Pete, she's never
told you about her Aunt Lilly.
While Aunt Lilly's husband was in
the Navy, she picked up with a
black-face comedian. And that was
lust the start of Aunt Lilly's Ca

BEATRICE caught quick breath.

blance between me and disgusting
old Aunt Lilly, you're very much
mistaken"
Pete patted the girls hand. Its
all right, Bette"

"A woman's first job is to pick out
a husband capable of earning the
family living. Pete'l never do
much for you in that line"
The young man glowered. "Why
are you so sure about that?"
We'll, you've never yet earned
a living except by exposing your
self to be shot at. It's not a good
profession - except when there's
war on"
Pete was openly irritated. Even
if l have spent most of my life go
ing to school, l can learn to handle
a job as we'll as anybody else"
II don't doubt you can get a
job; but l don't think you'd hold
it long unless you marry some girl
who knows how to cook. That is.
unless you like living on fancy sal

New York (FP)-A estate clean
up drive to bring all nonunion shops
in the dress industry under contract
with the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union was announced
here by Vice President Charles S.
Zimmerman, acting general manager
of the Dress Joint Board.
Although the number of nonunion
dress plants is relatively small, Zim-
norman pointed out that their con-
tinued existance endangers not only
the fair labor standards of workers
in union shops but also the position
of employers who observe these
standards.
The five states, into which addi-
tional organizers have already been
sent, include New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania
and New York. 1t was estimated that
about 10 per cent of the dress in

This announcement came Sept. 16 as
the NFTW's official paper called fol-
"a new round of wage increases
coupled with controls that will pre-
vent further rise in prices"
The NFTW, which now claims over
215,OO0 dues-paying members in its

tracts of its locals to find the extent
of the closed shop, checkoff of dues,
use of automatic progression in the
industry, data on shift differentials,
sick leave and common termination
dates for agreements.
Preliminary reports on these stud
les will be sent the membership soon
after Oct. l by the NFTW bargain
ing planning committee.

dent Joseph A. Beirne, while the 2

Plotkin lashed out savagely at Gov.
Ralph F. Gates, who had addressed
the convention earlier. "When a gov

enemy of the workers." he said, re-

Sebring, Ohio-Overlooking no eff
fort on their part to safeguard the
health and welfare of their employ
ees, The Limoges China Company
again this year is offering cold pre-
ventive tablets and vitamin capsules
to all employees at cost price.
In an effort to protect all employ
ees against severe colds resulting in
loss of time and money, the firm
through the advice of the company
physician have obtained one of the
finest cold preventative tablets on the
market.
While these tablets will not give
one hundred per cent immunity to
colds; however, proper use will go a
long way toward protection. Colds
that may be contracted are less Sc
we're and are thrown off more quickly.
The all-purpose vitamin capsule
tends to compensate for the lack of
sunshine, outdoor life, exercise, ETC.,
obtained during summer months, and
should help to keep ones physical
condition and tone at high level the
year round, and place one in a better
position to ward off cold, infection

Iunored Labor
Advisors On Milk

Washington (FP)-Shortly before
the Price Decontrol Board announced
| it had decided not to reverse its Aug
20 decision to leave dairy products
free of price control after a 30-day
review period, the OPA labor policy
committee submitted these facts to
the board.

ported in June and July per cent
decrease in milk consumption in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, clear
ly indicating curtailed buying by low
income groups only.
2.-Resumption of subsidy pay
ments sufficient to roll back dairy
product prices to the June 80 level
would reduce the national average
price Of milk 3.5 cents per quart, the
increase since that date
3.-Butter prices on Sept. 10 had
reached 74.5 cents at wholesale and
were still rising.
4.-Processed cheese at wholesale
was II per cent above the June 80
level.
The labor policy committee, COM
posed of representatives of AFL, CIO
and Railroad Labor Organizations,
told the board: "Your failure at this
time to order recontrol of dairy prod
ucts will be interpreted by the dis
tributors to mean it is safe for them
to boost prices still further"
