Vets Demand Tito Be Tried
 Convention Asks
 Action on Attack

Boston, Aug. 31-GUP)-A demand that Marshal Tito be tried and a resolution calling for elimination of known Communists and Ku Klux KlanSmen from the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be introduced at the filth annual national VFrW en- campment which opens tomorrow.
 The resolution for the trial of Tito as result of the shooting down of American planes will be intro duced by Frank J. Claeys of St, Charles, H., brother of the pilot of one of the unarmed planes shot down in Yugoslavia.
 Talk of business was superseded in Boston, however, by the grulnh- ling of the vanguard of delegates unable to find rooms in the already crowded city. Gov. Maurice J. To- bin ordered all state armories in Boston turned over to the veterans, but that still was not enough to handle the visiting throngs which were expected to total over 25 00O.
 National Commander Joseph w. Stack of Pittsburgh revealed that an attempt would be made to elin- mate subversive clements and it was learned that the VFW would ask Congress to create a Veterans Re- construction Finance Corp de- signed to provide jobs and oppor- tunities for former servicemen. This would be accomplished through a finance agency operated on self liquidating basis.
 Stack said that President Tru man. a member of the VFW, might visit the convention which will fea- ture besides the usual convention activities re-enactment Of the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri.
 The ceremonies will take place on the Big Mo" Monday. the first an- niversary of the surrender.

Band Killed Or blurred .InVoteCIosh
Bottle on Election Eve Is on Border keor YuqosIovio

Athens, Aug. 31-CUP)-A force of about 200 Communists was "an- initiated" last night after a two~ day battle in north Greece, ths heaviest of series of clashes lead. ing up to the plebiscite on the re- turn of King George, 1t was an- nouneed officially today.
 The Ministry of Public Order re- ported that the entire Communist band was killed or captured by gendarmerie force of about equal size in bitter fight around Mount Paikon, 10 miles south of the Yugo- slav border in central Macedonia.
 All Greece was on edge with the balloting on the monarchy only a day away. A mounting tide of vio- lence had brought the plebiscite campaign to its climax. Disturbed officials were taking last-minuta precautions against election disor- ders.
 Battle Started Thursday
 Spiro Theotoki, Minister of Pub lie Order, disclosed details of the heaviest of the prediction battles. It was carried out with rifles, ula- chine guns and mortars.
 Theotoki said the Mount Pakon fighting started early Thursday. Gendarmes searching for Com munlst band operating in the area found and surrounded it. The bat tie went on continuously until last night, when the last of the group was subdued, the minister reported.
 A communique said the govern nlent forces seized the entire de- fense system of the band in the Mount Paikou area, together with arms dumps and training camps.
 Paris, Aug. 31-(UP)-The peace conference ended five weeks of squabbling today without any sign yet that the grand alliance which won the war can find way to write the peace.
 Delegates privately despaired that the Big Four could regain prestige for the conference, which fell into exceptionally noisy wrangling again yesterday less than 24 hours after eIle DE tOuI Iuet lO SlIlOOLQ over the deep-seated disputes.
 Secretary of States James P. Byrnes may soon reply to the as- sertion by V. M. Molotov that the United States was interfering in Greek affairs by sending a group of her Warships to Greek ports next week The 45,000-ton carrier U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt with a cruiser and destroyer escort will make the courtesy call"
 The plain facts of the conference difficulties remain that the eastern European countries, led by the So- viet Union, distrust the western powers headed By the United States and Britain. The western states in turn distrust the east, feel- ing it's motives are not directed to- ward the best world interests. Explosion of any of the angry charges and counter-charges hurled during the past five weeks could wreck the entire conference.

What Does "Aponaug" Mean!
We Finally Dug Up Answer

What does the word "Aponaug''
mean?
That's question we've had put
to us quite often since we joined
the Sanders industries, and here
tofore, we've always had to come
back with the answer well, / don't
know"
Then we started asking employees
and we got all kinds of answers. ut
means cotton in the raw" one per-
son said; another, Il think it has
something to do with sitting Bull,
the big Indian Chief" and still
another said, ''It's French name,
named for stream that ran outside
Paris"
Anyway, we kept asking up the
line, and had about decided we
would have to take the matter up
with the boss" but luckily we did
not have to bother him with the
weighty question. The man who pro-
vided the answer was L. T. Mussel-
white, vice-president of the Company
and a very importan man who's
signature appears on my check each
month.
Mr.. Musselwhite has the autho-
ritative answer, for he, too, was
curious and several years ago wrote
the Archives Department of the
State of Delaware on the subject.
Here is the verbatim reply he got:
Dear Mr.. Musselwhite:
Since writing you, I have receiv.
ed letter from DR.. Speck He states
that the meaning of the word Apo
naug depends for its meaning on
the location Of the accent. If the
accent is on the second "a", this
word in the Delaware, Nanticoke
and other Algonquin tongues would
mean "Place of the Wild Potatoes. y
This world could also be construed
to have the meaning Bread Place"
DIR. Speck adds further that these
are the general meanings Of the
word and often varied.
Hoping that this information may
be helpful, &. :. etc.
So there you have it. No doubt

The Weather Man
Loses One This Time

We have really put one over on
the weather man. Since one of our
air conditioning units burned out we
have discussed the question of how
to beat the heat. The answer was
finally found by coming to work at
600 o'clock instead of seven. We
now get off earlier in the afternoons
before the heat gets so unbearable.
All the workers agreed to this and
are still hoping the other unit will
be back soon so that they can con-
tinue to sew in comfort.

Chenille Department Is Largest Section In
Durant Plant; Operations Told

The Chenille Department is the
largest department in the plant.
Under the supervision of Mrs
Minnie Mae Irving, this department
is located on the ground floor OF
the Durant building.
Here we have the process from
which the plant gets its name
chenille. Many of the workers In
this department work at the multi
needle machines :. chenilling cloth
all day long.
Multi Mochine Chenilling
Great strips of cloth, each strip
twenty yards long, is taken by the
Individual and run through the
multi-needle machine which puts
the chenille on the flat cloth. The
plain base cloth comes from the
Magnolia Textile mills, another San
ders industry.
After the chenille is put on the
cloth the 20-yard strips are taken
to the cutting department where
styles BAL and 671 robes are cut
from them.
In this department 13 strips, leach
strip 20 yards long is considered
production for an 8-hour day. How
ever workers in this department get
much higher than production.
Mrs. Lorena Richardson is con-
sistently the highest producer on the
multi-machine and she chenilles
from rs to % strips of cloth per day.
She is steady worker and has
never lost a day because of illness.
OverloY Machines
Other workers in this department
sre engaged in overlay, that is che
Milling the fancy design on the robes.
On robe stvle 341 the robe has a
heart chenilled on the back and
sleeves and number of hearts
around the skirt The design of the
heart is stamped in wax on the robe
before it leaves the scanning depart
ment and the chenillers follow the
marks toput the fancy design in with,
chenille, making beautiful robe.
Overlaying 43 robes per day is
considered production but most
workers on these machines in the
Drant plants overlay from IS to 80
robes daily.
High Producers
High producers in overlay are Mrs.
Lucille Threat, of near Goodman,
and her sister, Mrs. Edna Holley, OF
the same place and Mrs. Pearl Lusk,
Of Goodman. Each Of these splendid
workers overlay around eighty robes
daily, or nearly half again as many

as production requires.
Style 67l: Edgerow

Style 67l: Edgerow
Still another chenille design ir
this department is the 67l style
where three rows of chenille are
put across the skirt of the robe and
collar
Production on this style Is 6(
daily but most workers in the de-
partment do much more. The lowest
operator in this style finishes al
least ninety robes daily.
Highest production is obtained by
Mrs. Emma Ratliff, of West and
Mrs. Elizabeth McCarty, Durant, who
both finish from 100 to 167 robes
daily in the edgerow.
Loom Cloth
Some of the cloth out of which
chenille robes are made at the Du-
rant plant, as we have mentioned
before, comes already chenilled from
the Chenille plant at Winona. This
is called loom cloth as distinguished
from the multi-needle which is che
nilled in the Durant plant.
Seomers Finish
When the robes are completely
chenilled they 60 to the machines

beth Hodges, Mrs. Albertine Moore,
and Mrs. Olivia Keith, who Sc
