George A. Clark, production
supervisor of Wilson Cabinet Co.
Inc, has come a long way since he
joined the organization twelve
years ago. He started in the sheet
metal department, where he shear
ed metal with hand ships, and from
that time until year ago he work
ed at virtually every job in the
shop.
After three years in the sheet
metal department, he worked on
the metal assembly line of the first
walk-in coolers until 1912, when he
was transferred to sheet metal
layout and fabrication of milk
coolers and walk-in refrigerators.
During this period he also served
as working leader in charge of
sheet metal fabrication.
Last April, Clark was promoted
TO supervisor In charge of Plant
No. 2, and in September he was
made production supervisor of both
Smyrna plants, working directly
under the plant superintendent.
In his present important capaci-
ty, Mr.. Clark is responsible for the
flow of all material and parts from
the time the product is first start
ed in the process of production un-
til the finished product actually
leaves the Grating department. This
covers milk coolers, farm freezers.
swalk-in coolers, dairy hot water
heaters, bottle storage coolers, ice
makers, and all other Wilson pro-
ducts.

company.
I'm spite of the ups and downs, .
Clark stated, "if a man really likes
his job as 1 like mine, he is happy
and content"
A former member of the Labor
Management Committee, Clark is
a Conscientious and loyal employee
who believes that every man de-
serves a fair wage and a square
deal. He would like to see not only
a community recreation center, but
a fuller recreation program at Will
sons, and he believes that hous-

Lieut.. James Triplett will be
pleas'd to repair to Alexandra, with
all the expedition that is possible,
anad engage as many seamen and
Marines as he can find disposed to
enter on board the frigate Con-
stellation under my command, and
to hire a boat and repair to the ship
with them without loss of time.
Lieut.. Triplett will take Capt. Moor,
an experienced seaman, with him,
to assist in this business, the great
est frugality must be observed in all
matters Of expence, expected to be
allowed by the Government, as the
Secretary of War will only admit
such charges as he will consider rea-
sonable or proper. A copy Of the
Articles and blank Oaths of Ale
glance &c will be furnished by Lieut..
Rodgers, who I have desired to send
up sufficient number from the
rendezvous for this purpose, num-
Der of men having been put on board
a Vessel bound to Alexandria by a
French privateer has induced me to
order you to make this expedition,
which hope and trust will be at
tended with Success"
1t is here worthy of note that
Capt. Truxtuns reference to the
of War in his above quoted
orders to 1t. Triplett was owing to
the fact that, although the congress
Sional act creating the Navy Depart

Inside Secrets of Plots Against Hitler
Bynn Anti-Nozi Who Lived to Tell All

Allied Normandy invasion. Hitler,
the narrator relates, lived by a strict
timetable and there were strict
orders that his sleep was not to be
disturbed. The Normandy invasion
began early on the morning of June
6, 1914, but no German officer dared
disturb Hitler with the news. so he
did not hear it until his usual mid
day staff meeting. Hitler had re-
served as his personal prerogative
the power to throw special tank
corps into action against any inva-
sion. So this tank corps did not get
started until pm, after decisive
hours had been wasted. 1.-The inva-
sion had been materially aided by
the fact that Hitler's sleep could not
be disturbed"
1t was things like this that helped
to bring so many leading German
military men into the Hitler

How Our Native Literature Gained New

tween the wars he supplies a wealth
Of revealing anecdote about the
people he knew when he was an
eXpatriate.
He writes Of Hemingway, Of Ger
trude Stein. of Dos Passos, of Pi-
casso, OF Pirandello and of dozens of
others. He even explains, or tries
to explain, Ezra Pound, as a cracker
barrel" philosopher who felt he had
right to be opposed to everything.
Mr.. Putnam delves rather deeply
into both cause and effect of this
"lost" generation of expatriates.
They were fleeing, he says. the fiat
provincialism of American life at the
time. They became found" again
in the middle '3Os, when they re-
turned. They discovered America
no longer so provincial, they had
had their fun, and their new con-
tinental approach, Mr.. Putnam is
sure, has had a wholly beneficial
effect on our native literature.
