to swap tall stories
and whittle, with only
one rule: no arguments

CoMEBoDY once defined a club as
- IAN institution to make loafing
respectable" Many modern clubs,
such as Rotary and kiwanis, seem
to have departed from this concept,
and are hives of hectic activity.
But can tell you of one club
which has carried the concept to its
ultimate in purity. 1t is the Weary
Club of Norway. Maine.
Norway is a typical, small Maine
town Of some 5000 Yankee souls,
and the Weary Club. neat. white,
one-story building. stands right in
the center of its business district.
To say that the whole town
takes pride in it would probably
he an exaggeration, for there are
undoubtedly those who still con-
slider loafing a sin, even in neat,
white building.
And the Weary Club. by official
description. is a place for tired old
men to escape the wrath of their
women-folks. swap lies and fishing
stories, and always have on hand
supply of straight-grained cedar for
whiting"

H. L. Ansbesher of the Owl in
an article entitled, German In

Year of War, in the November,
IA, issue of the Psychological
Bulletin, commented on the Ger
man Industrial Suggestion Sys-
tenn in part, as follows: g. this
system (Vorschlagswesen) was
inaugurated in 1871 to increase
efficiency by utilizing the inven-
tiveness of every worker. In 1941,
5000 plants participated and fur
nished $4,000 suggestions of which
259t were found useful. By 1943,
$4,000 plants participated with
100000 suggestions of which 60
70% were useful. The origina-
tors of useful suggestions receive
honorS and small awards. Where
as in large plants only SCI of the
workers participated, in small
plants sometimes over 50et took
part when the system was en-
couraged out of realization, of its
usefulness to labor management"
I thought this might be of inter
est. The Germans have develop
ed many new, war weapons and
war techniques and don't go in
for useless frills. They, too, rec

DON HEROLD SAYS:
Fishing is more fun than fight
inq a fight fixed AGAINST me.


If owned a business, / think
I'd be tempted to close it up and
go fishing the rest of my life.
If I had 100 people working
for me, this would throw them
out of jobs. But I couldn't stay
in business just for fun, and,
anyway, business is no fun these
days, and fishing is.
The Government is trying to
make sandwich out of business
pushing up labor costs from
below and holding down selling
prices from above.
! would not mind the fight
which my competitors would give
me on prices. l don't mind a fair
fight. What l don't like is a fixed

WASHINGTON, March 16-(H-
Secretary Of War Patterson said
today 5000 West Point graduates
were the 'Leaven which raised a

Observing the 144th anniversary
of the founding of the U. S. Military
academy at West Point, N. Y,
Patterson said in speech prepared

quality of the West Point officers
offset the smallness of their num-

in the army during the war.
''The product of the United States
Military academy has been IA

tories in war, great as they have
been, have been exceeded by their
