Behind The Scenes .
In American Business
by Reynolds Knight

A system of voluntary manpow.
er controls for industry will be
the solution to a tough, behind
the-scenes struggle that has been
waging in recent months. They
will be readied for use in two or
three months when the manpower
pinch really starts to be felt.
This will clear the air, for it's
been an off-again, on-again bat
tie for weeks. The confusion re-
volved around fear by labor and
other groups in Washington that a
slow-moving defense program
and a more rapid cutback in civil
ian business would spell jobless-
ness. An interim period of I'M
employment might not look too
bad to statisticians. but it could
mean hardships to people.
With the calling up by Selec-
tive Service of 100000 recruits for
training in January and Febru-
airy, or 10000 more than planned
only a few weeks back, it is as
sumed now that war factories or
the military itself will absorb man
power at a more rapid rate. The
change came with the Chinese
Communist invasion in force in
Korea, ending any dreams of
quick victory on our part. Even
peace overtures will not slow our
drive for stronger mobilization
effort now. Manpower will be
needed and controls will be in
stituted along the lines of expert
ence in World War II until such
time as still stronger measures
become necessary.
TRAINING TILE WORKERS
Manpower controls present a
serious problem, to businesses
which depend on highly skilled
workmen. Tile settlers, for in
stance, serve a two-year appren-
ticeship and therefore new ones
cannot be turned out" just over
night. Fortunately, clay tile con-
tractors realized the possibilities
OF a manpower shortage last sum-
mer, and as result many dealers
started training additional ap-
prentices. More than 500 new
men have been brought into the
installation field in the past few
months, and additional appren-
tees are being added steadily.
Plenty of work lies ahead for them
for clay tile goes not only into the
baths and kitchens of the ma
tons homes but also into indus
trial establishments, restaurants,
dairy plants, schools and CONNER
cial buildings. It's durability and
sanitary features in fact make it
"a must" for most of these struc-
lures. Thanks to this apprentice
training effort, there should be
sufficient skilled men to make
the tile installations needed in
1851 and the years ahead.

ECONOMIC
.HIGHLIGHTS

Many Americans must still
wonder if the Soviet Union ac-
tually calls the tune within the
satellite states or if these states,
as the Kremlin claims, are ac-
tually independent peoples
democracies." They must wonder
too just how Communism man
ages to overrun a state-Czecho-
slovakia, for example-which
had always had a high degree of
individual freedom.
The October issue Of Foreigr
Affairs carried a revealin
answer to these questions. 1t W
written by Josef Revai, whol
the magazine terms "the leading

ISM" and was published in a
Hungarian Marxist journal.
The gist of Revai's remarkable
article is found in this para

Vet Groups
Fovor Buying
Saving Bonds

In statements issued from their
State Headquarters, the 81 ma
tional veterans groups in Massa-
chusetts today advocated ,b-
stantial purchases of United
States Savings Bonds by veterans
receiving their National Service
Life Insurance dividends. This
corresponds to the advice Printed
on the endorsement ide of each
check.-Use 1t Wisely-Buy u. S.
Savings Bonds.
The Department Commanders
point out that these bonds, avail
able at banks and post offices, are
an ideal investment offering both
a secure place for the veteran to
place his money and a place
where he can receive a really fine
return. They assert that such a
present investment will brinC

RETREAT

If you must retreat, retreat in

without tears. Soldiers in battle
know that a good retreat oftimes
saves the day from defeat. Men
too, know that it is sometimes
necessary to descend one lad

not abashed or discouraged If
you must retreat: "There is no

Revsi's article implies one
more fact of the highest import
ance. The Communists must win
an election or any other form
of political struggle only once
then they are in for good, unless
war or revolution unseats them.

sentative government must win

BEAUTY HINTS
A FINE AsTRrNGENT

The face is continually relax
ing and dropping. This goes on
through the night as well as the
day. In order to counteract this
falling process we must resort to
the use Of some sort of astring-
ent. One can buy very expensive
ones or can be wise and make
one at very little cost. Just take
the juice Of half a lemon and
add to it a few drops of benzoin.
Shake well = and Prestol You

to have the face perfectly clean
and follow the astringent with
a good skin food in order to
prevent wrinkles.

NIGHT at the Shaw House Nurserv
School, of which Mrs. Lucy M.
Mitchell is director.
Addressing the group on The
Fathers Role in Family Life. .
Powers stated There are certain
basic needs of children that only
parents can give. The need for
security; love, the warm rich
feeling that can give sense Of
worth, acceptance and under
standing for one individual; the
need for creative expression and
the need for a feeling OF status.
From no othr source can a child
get all these basic needs. To this
contribution of needs, both par
ents must give in equal mea-
sure.
The question period evoked
discussions. during which the
fathers freely expressed their
opinions, often taking different
points Of view.

Over 40, Reduce
About One Pound
Per Week

CHICAGO Up. Overweight
and over 40 is supposed to be an
unhappy combination. But we
have glimpsed a bit of silver lin
ing, under the guidance of DR..
Edward Stieglitz of Chicago.
DR.. Stieglitz says if you at
tempt to reduce, and you're over
40, take it easy. He believes it's
unwise to attempt to lose more
than pound a week.
The idea here is to build good
health for the middle years, and
for old age. If you lose weight
too fast, you don't really have
time to change diet habits, and
therefore you're likely to gain ii
back with disappointing ease.
Also. if you lose weight slow
ly, the skin is less likely to show
wrinkles.
During the years from 40 to 60,
says DR.. Stieglitz, the health OF
the very old may be determined.

"A VERY GOOD POINT"

Editor, The Citizen:
Your always amusing and
sometimes profound columnist
Duerkes makes very good
point in asking that architecture
ally Key West stick to its his
toric styles and discontinue the
now being erected modern. -
The "quaintness" of the city I'M
doubtedly is a nattraction for
tourists, but there is another
feature that far outweighs all
other attractions, except the
climate: that is the present alb
sence of mosquitoes.
The city and county should
make every effort to continue
the fog wagons; advertising bill
boards and similar publicity.
Money would be much better
spent for dot, as the results
would greatly exceed those OBJ
tanned by such methods.
Absence of mosquitoes in a
resort city is an inestimable
asset that quickly becomes
known.
