It's an old dodge of mine to try
to finagle a first-name-acquaint-
anceship with the gentlemen who
run the banks.
Firstly, and taking them by and
large, these gentlemen are what a
chum of mine from Brooklyn
that would be in New York and
not in Wilmington-calls right G's.
Which means, of course, they're
more than ordinarily outstanding.
1t doesn't hurt your standing in
the community ore whit to pass the
president of the Wilmington Savings
and Trust on Front street-or Prin-
cess, Chestnut, or Market for that
matter-and say, nonchalantly,
"H-ya, J. c.. Likewise, of the
Peoples Savings and say, "Wha-
chyuh say, Warren. Or the Sc
curity National and say. Ei-yuh
dom, Harmon" Or the Morris Plan
and say, "Wha'cha know. Emsley."
Technically, there may be no
great advantage in this. Certainly
they will not credit your account
with any given sum for this easy
going friendship. But it does add
the personal touch to your finan-
cial relationships to be able to
speak to the head man thusly. And
it gives you added stature. 1t might
help some, too, when you're q long
way from home trying to get a
check cashed. You can say to the
person who appears somewhat dub.
ious about handling your paper In
exchange for S. bill, "Yeah.
was just saying to Ensley Laney
the other day p. It doesn't
make a great deal of difference
what, If anything, you were saying
to Emsley Laney just the other day
so much if you can just convince
the dubious fellow you're trying to
shakedown for the five spot that
you are just one of the boys with
Mr.. Laney. The gimmiek, as the
boys say, has great deal of charm
1t was bit tedious getting down
here to the fact that I did drop in
on Emsley Laney over at the
Morris Plan Bank yesterday. Chat
is daf1ning admission. But my
visit was not for the purpose Of
negotiating a loan. It seems, any.

 Department 339 has tripled it's output of Van bodies since they have started on the new assembly line at Siberia and expect to still double the present output in the very near future. That is what I call good cooperation between men, bosses. and good old Boiler makers Local 614. Nearly all our gang are members of Local 614 and I feel sure what few non-union men we have will be union men in a short while.
 Walingurski and Doc Puza are back on the job after their leave of absence. Glad to see you back boys, and hope you learned how to roll tubes while you were away.
 I would like to mention few of the men that I had the pleas ure of working for during the past five and a half years in Depart ment 332 Ted Havens, Howard Walden, Clayton Perry, Jack Ed wards, and Jack Morrow all un- der Hugo Jensen. I want to say that I always found these men ready and willing to help their men in any way that was in their power and as for me I do not believe could have worked for any better bosses. I want to thank them all for the fine cooperation they gave me both in line of work and in union business.

The Groton Grange Picnic that was scheduled to be held Wednes- day, July 24th, at the home and grounds of Master Al DiaS, was not postponed because of rain, but transferred its sphere of activities to the American Legion Hall on School Street when the rain came. Although it was disappointing not to have the weather pleasant enough to hold the many games and fun that had been planned for out of doors, nevertheless every one including the younger gen. eration seemed very happy about the whole thing.
 A clam chowder was served, with covered dishes, sliced toma- toes, and garden salad. And in- door games replaced the handi- cap race hazards. The kids seemed to enjoy most of all the game of musical chairs, while the adults resorted to bridge games. In fact a GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL.
 Among the Changers present at this event were: J. Morgan Adams, MT. and Mrs. Frank Dennison, Mrs. Van Keuren, Mrs. Baxter, Andrew Atha, Miss Lucy Metcalf, Mrs.

 The name Chapman seems to be quite common in Department 333. How many carry that name I have been unable to count to date, but I do know they fill the places of sweeper, mechanic, inspector, help CT, crane operator and what have you. - Just couple of more Chap mans and we sure will keep the bosses busy finding the right one at the right time.

Forestry Research
Centers May Be
Established

Washington, D. c., Feb. 18-(Spec-
|ial)-Hon. William M. Wilmington
is n of the Congressional leaders
in a strongly sponsored movement
to hasten rehabilitation of the Ma
TONS war-depleted timber resourc-
es through the establishment of a
system of forestry research centers
strategically located throughout the
c~ountry-one for each major forest
type.
The proposed research program
stems from a movement started last
year by the Forest Farmers Associa-
ton, general headquarters Valdosta,
Ga, which resulted in an initial ap-
preparation of 100000 for eleven
field research laboratories in the
South. Congressman John S. Gibson
of Georgia, who headed the success
full drive last year, has assumed
leadership in the campaign for a
National program. This program is
backed by the Forest Farmers As
ISOLATION, representing the timber
land owners Of twelve Southern
States, and other timber interests
throughout the Country.
Gibson, Wilmington, and some
fifty Congressman from other Sec
tons appeared before the House APP
preparations Subcommittee on Feb
ruary 18th to request $4,000 900 for
seventy-six research centers. These
field laboratories are to be admins
tered by the U. S. Forest Service in
cooperation with local forestry agen-
cies and timberland owners.
Of the total amount requested,
ST, 0O0, 900 is to be ear-marked for
completion of the full 21-station
Southern program originally propos-
ed by the Association.

It's Time For Work

There used to be a time this coun-
try when a mans ambition in life
was to have a good living, to be a
leader in his community and to
have security in which he could
raise his family and look forward to
old age without worry. That was the
same time that America was built
into the great nation that it is today.
That attitude of its citizens is what
built the American Way of Life and
made it what we live by, what we
fight for and what we would give
our lives to keep.
But that good citizenship-that
ideal of building a better world with
honest work, honest pay and just re-
wards-is facing a trial today as it
has never faced before.
It is a trial of greater proportions
than many of us have ever stopped
to realize because SO many of us
have the same ideals as the ones who
are accusing the old system-we are
all looking for a racket.
Never before in our history have
so many Of the people-in fact, al
most all of the people-been looking
for a racket with the determination
and in the rough shod mn that
it is being done today.
Industrial workers are working
for a situation in which they will
make theirs by lining up to punch
in on the time clock and then 60
ing to the line to punch out. What
happens to the future is no concern
Of theirs II want my racket and !
want it now!" they yell.
What happens to the industry that
employs them is just too bad-"They
can afford it,.
What happens to the public who
are clamoring for the goods is just
one Of those things that happen
ITO make the public sympathize
with u demands.
Manufacturers have a racket Of
wartime goods" that seems to 60

Feed Supplies
Are Reported Short .

Livestock feed supplies are criti-
cally short in the South and win
continue so for several months. &C
cording to Will A. Hall of Memphis.
president of the International Sugar
Feed Co., in a warning letter to
Southern stockmen this week.
THE market value of Southern
livestock products in 1945 was ST.
900, 900, 900 while cotton and cotton
seed brought in only 1,169,0 600, OOO,"
Mr.. Hall stated.
''These figures show the growing
Importance of livestock production
as a major Southern industry. While
this increase in the livestock popu-
lation has boosted demands for live
stock feeds, at the same time wealth
er conditions have reduced supplies
for the animals.
Regardless of a record grain
crop, which should have been har-
vested in 1915, weather conditions
have reduced total production to the
point that the supply of feed grains,
including wheat, will not fill over
rs per cent of immediate demands.
Heavy rains throughout the cot
ton belt likewise reduced cotton seed
supplies one third. In producing a
balanced livestock feed cottonseed
meal is one of the vital plant pro-
teins.
"The Iowa corn crop was reduced
35 per cent by frost and cold wealth
er. This loss is very serious as Iowa
is a surplus cor producing section
Very little of this soft corn is avail
able as a major part of the corp is
being fed to cattle and hogs in Iowa.
