Sewing Heavy Fabric
Needs Special Care

It's the wise woman who will test
her sewing machine on the type of
fabric she is using before she at
tempts to do any sewing on the gar
ment itself. 1t may be that the
needle is too light or too heavy. Spe-
cial attention should be given to the
thread-remember that the bobbin
and the needle should have the same
type of thread! And last, but not
least, check the tension on the ma
chine to make sure you are getting
nice stitches without any forcing or
pulling. In ideal sewing technique,
the tension, stitch and thread work
is in such accord that they seem to
flow out of the machine without any
restraint. Every stitch should be
straight and perfect.
In learning how to stitch straight,
mark pieces of paper with straight
lines, squares and triangles. Take
the thread out of the machine and
the bobbin out of the machine and
practice stitching on the marked
lines. Turn the orne accurately
and keep spaces even.
Pockets may be placed on the
jumper if desired, provided the ma
terial used is not so heavy as to
make the finished garment bulky
appearing or stitching too difficult.
The hens at the tops of the pockets
must be placed in first before the
pockets r placed and sewed onto
the garment.

Meet MT. Quill

The name of Michael J. Quill is unfamiliar to most per- sons outside of New York City But Mr. Quill symbol of vast power in the hands of virtually unknown man.
 phenomenon worthy of national attention Mr. Quill has two jobs. He is New York City councilman, elected as candidate of the Communistdominated American Labor Party which helped put New Yorks new mayor William ODwyer into office. He also international president of the CIO Transport Workers Union which New Yorks subways elevated busses reecars and the cityowned plants which provide for most of these transportation lines.
 In the latter capacity, Mr. Quill cashed with Charles P. Gross chairman of New Yor Board of Transportation and
 former major general in charge of Army transportation Mr. Gross surveyed the cityowned transportation system which has annual deficit of $55 5O00OOO, and sug gesed that the cs plants be sold to Consolidated Edison This was because the job of recondtonlng and improving the plants expected to cost between $15 000000 and $1000000O0 depending how we'll the job is done Mir Gross has only the power to recommend such sale which would be to the and the City Board of Estimate.
 But Mr. Quill did not wait on any orderly procedure He threatened immediate strike of all public transporta ton the mayor did not promise popular referendum be- fore the city property could be sod It notable that Mr. Quill did suggest referendum of the people the question of transportation strike Such strike would exceeds that of than half the countries that make the United Nations. Such strike would bring stagger ing loss of money to labor and business Health and safety would be endangered If the strike prolonged its homie effect would be felt throughout the whole country
 But this made difference to Mir. Quill, the public servant. Mike Quill the union boss, giving orders And when he laid the proposition on the line, Mayor ODwyer, beholden to Mir Quill and his left-wing party had choice but to give in Mr. Qus terms He promised reIeronQun 90 Cne SCrlke was OIL Anu tne boss of 320O transport workers had told the of city of 900 where to head in.
 The moral of this is that today, controlling the actions of few thousand people may exert tremendous unacceptable for any that suits him. The ques on here of labor relations (though MT. Quill

Quill told his membership: If you want to strike city city, country country you have that right" And that would to be perfect summing up of Mr. Quls attitude and of public responsibility.

A SHAME TO THE STATE
(Hartford Times)

NHaELIOrQ 1meS)
 It is not putting it too strongly to say that the closing of wards in several State tuberculosis sanatoria puts the State to shame.
 If, as seems to be clear, closing of the wards and denial of beds to the sick results from a shortage of help due to wage schedules so un- attractive that the State cannot get enough nurses or other help, then Connecticut stands in a most hum- iliating place among the States, for this is no pauper State - 1t is wealthy from whatever angle it is evaluated.
 At Laurel Heights 100 beds are vacant and since Christmas no new patients have been admitted except to take the places of patients dis charged; So beds are denied pa- tients at Undercliff, two wards are closed at Cedarcrest and similar conditions exist at Uncas on- Thames and Seaside.
 CO0 years OOAAIlcCtACuL pIlOcO lb- self on being among the most pro- gressive of the States in fighting the White Plague. We strove hard to provide enough sanatoria and beds to meet the demands. Now we have adequate facilities but wage scheduled so low that competent help will not accept jobs. A similar situation exists with reference to institutions for the mentally ill.
 Here is a state of affairs to challenge the business ability as well as the huinanitarianism of those in charge of the States fi- nances. Victims of tuberculosis should not become sicker and per- haps die while the State seeks ways to keep down the wages of the help and thereby render a service to the taxpayers. This is a challenge to the hearts as well as the brains of those whose duty it is to keep functioning State sanatoria and hospitals in general.

stabilization program which has caused more con- troversy than any other it is this business of subsi dies. Why the government should collect taxes on the hand so it pay food raisers and process the other just they sell their foodstuffs at lower prices to the consumer, is something that most people don't understand. It's too much like taking money from one pocket to put in another.
 During the five years af national defense, war and reconversion from July l. i94i to June 30 l046 the government will have spent four billion dol lars food subsidies alone. About half of it was paid out by the Commodity Credit Corporation to farmers, encouraging them to produce more essential crops at lower market prices. The other half paid out by Reconstruction Finance Corpor- ation to meat four dairy and other food processors they could sell their products below cost of pro- ductin and still make money.
 be made that this saved everybody money. Economists say that if this four billion dol- lars had not been paid out in subsidies the consum ing pubics wartime food bill would have been five billion dollars higher than it was. The net saving therefore a billion dollars fourth of this saved to the government on its purchases of food

for Army, Navy lend-lease etc. Three-foTths of it were direct savings to consumers.
 That Is the primary saving. Actually it was much greater through prevention of splralng. With the food bill higher, wages would have had to be higher the national debt would be even bigger than it is today. Subsidies therefore helped achieve relative stabilization and saved billions of dollars.
 Even so nobody likes subsidies. Everyone would prefer to cut the government out on this deal let prices go up, and let Joe Consumer pay full price for the stuff he buys direct instead of paying for through the tax collector.
 Office of Economic Stahlization went so far as to prepare tentative schedule Tor removing subsidies last Nov. 9. They figured that come the end of the war, with Army and Navy cutting down on their food demands. the supply for civilians would be greater and food prices would come down AS the supply of each type of food increased it planned remove the subsidy without upsettng the market.
 An these welI-laid calculations have now been moved off the beam First the experts missed on the drop in buying power than had been anticipated. People have more money to spend The demand for foods is greater than it has ever been Prices haven't gone down enough to warrant removal of the subs- dies.
 This being the situation what can be done about it2 First OES may have to revise it's schedule for removing subsidies.
 Then, if Congress lets subsidies de as of June 90, the costs of the subsidized items-meatS dairy will go up an estimated total of percent. That means 3 percent increase in the cost of iiyng. That means nearly three billion dollars year added to the nations food bill That the end of the hold the line" policy and higher prices for every thing. That means imitation.

 Day after Pearl Harbor, Ecuador voluntarily of- fered us a base on ehese strategic islands Q. s. troops have been there ever since But with the var well over, Ecuadoreans are beginning to get little ttery about the continued presence of these troops. So also, incidentally, are the Bra1lians regarding U. & bases on their soil Neither helps our now badly deteriorated good-neighbor policy.
 During the Hul-stettnius era, Ecuador asked the Export-rmport Bank for commercial loan. Whereupon the State Department immediately jumped into the picture with abrupt notice that there would be no loan unless the United states got permanent peacetime base on the Galapagos Islands.
 This sent Ecuadorean blood sky.high, Like other Latin Americans, Ecuadoreans win cooperate in common cause. but get indignant when someone tries to stay on their sovereign soil, especially In return for a few dollars.
 Since the State Departments unfortunate faux pas therefore we have gotten nowhere In negotiate ing for base in the Galapagos and the Ecuadoreans getting sorer and sorer at the continued presence of U. 6. troops fest-t
 The sumner welIes policy of handling these thineshe the real father of oodneighhorliness was a joint overall plan for the defense of the hemisphere For instance. the U. s. A. would give one two surplus cruisers and destroyerS to Ecuador and send U g. naval officers to help train the Ecua- dorean Navy. In return. Ecuador would give the U S. Navy peacetime base on Oalapaeos.s
 The welles idea was to do the same thing with Brazil-perhaps bringing token force of Brazilian troops up to the United States or the Panama Canal to cooperate with the American Army and Navy, while we kept small force at one or two strategic air bases in Brazil.
 Broad-gauged Under Secretary of State Dean Acheson is now taking up the Galapagos problem personally hopes to work out solution soon
 NOTE-Blg question mark raised in the diplo- matic corps is why we give Britain $40OO 10000 plus with no strings attached regarding certain trouble making British policies in Greece and Indonesa, yet won't give Ecuador even $l4oOoooo without attach ing political strings.

Views of the Press

youngsters "how it should be done"
 On such nights as these roman ces start. Johnny, for example, catches the admiring eye of Sally as he cuts a figure eight or a pigeon wing. Or Jimmy finds favo- with Suzy because he can skate backwards and tow her at the same time. There are, of course, the more rugged village lads who look with scorn upon fancy skating and re- treat to an isolated section to en- gage in furious hockey matches.
 What of the cold? Skating warns one as no other sport does and if, by chance fingers are frosted and toes nipped, there is always a bon fire in the lee of the sagging ice house.
 As evening wanes, shouts die down. Groups of skaters starr homeward treks. Soon the pond is left to the moon who beams down very much satisfied with what he's seen.

4 LIBRARY FOR HAYWARD COLLEGE
(New York Herald-Tnbune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 By selecting a site in the Yard for the new library, whose con- struction has been made possible through the generosity of Thomas w. Lamont, the authorities at Cam bridge have given practical expres- sion to the intent of the donor. With an insight that bespoke a warm recollection of the Harvard he knew more than half a century ago, Mir Lamont designed his gift for the express use of undergraduates. A thoughtful eye to their convenience is indicated by the choice of a lo- cation. nicely balanced with refer ence both to claSsrooms and hous- es oHtside the Yard. For gradu- ate students research facilities such as those of Widener Library will be more than ever available.
 There has been a tendency in American universities for the gradu- ate schools to overshadow the or- iginal undergraduate college. Tn the public mind, the university ab- sorbs the college; much is heard of graduate research, often fruitful and of the graduate faculty. often prolific. Sometimes a freshman enters college under the impression that he will receive instruction from these famous men. Harassed uni- versity presidents intrust the di- rection of undergraduate interests to the college dean, who is but one among many seeking the presi- dential ear and aid. As a result, undergraduates are inclined to think of themselves as forgotten men when benefactions come to a uni- versity. The present gift, like those which made possible the house plans at Yale and Harvard, serves to re- store needed balance.
