ARMY / S3 -WHITE m Released by Western Newspaper Union. PATRIOTIC U. S. LABOR AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT FIFTY union delegates called for a mass meeting of workers in Pacific coast airplane plants to vote on the question of a strike wlTich, if approved by the workers, would tie up the greatest portion of our armed forces. It was in opposition to a decision of the War Labor board against a pay increase of 95 cents an hour for "beginners. The A. F.- of L., of which these delegates are members, made an agreement with the President not to strike for the duration of the war, < but evidently the word of the A: F. of ;L. is meaninglesjs so far as its officials are concerned. To them the fact that the nation is at war does not mean a thing. Their demands ;are imperative. They refused to accept a compromise of 80 cents an :hour for beginners, not because those workers who vyere learning the business of building airplanes were not satisfied, but to enforce the demands j of the union racketeers. It is of such people we would make heroes •(?'), We sing their praise and put. them in a class along with the men who would fly those planes, who would gamble with death that America might be free. We say such people are essential to the war effort. We give th«n unlimited gas and tires when others, including the food-producing farmers, are limited in the gas and tires they can have for use in. the production of fpod. Labor,, whether it be union or otherwise, is not represented by such racketeers. The average American, whether he wears overalls or the garb of the business office, is patriotic. It is the racketeer whe cares nothing for the fate of the nation who has no interest in the life or death of our boys on the battle lines, whose word to the President is of no value. Such people are not heroes. They have no right to preferred treatment. They are saboteurs and should be dealt with as such. There is no place in our free America for their class. They do not represent patriotic American labor. • • 3s' „ DEFINITION OF WANT, NEED IS DIFFICULT FREEDOM from "want" or freedom from "need," whichever we may term it, is a generality. Who can define "want" or "need"? Do we mean freedom from starvation or freedom from freezing? Much less than 1 per cent of the American people die from lack of food or lack of warmth. What may be "want" or "need" for one, may be luxury for another. The Joneses have two cars; the Browns have only one. The Browns "want" another car, but is that the "want" we are expected to provide? Farmer Smith has 320 acres of land, while Farmer Green has only 160 acres. Farmer Green "wants" 320 acres. Will it solve any problem to take 180 acres of Farmer Smith's land and give it to Farmer Green? Freedom from "want" or freedom from "need" may express a beautiful idealism, but before we can work at a solution to such a problem as it may cover, we should know what may constitute "want" or "need," and just how much of a problem that may be. It has been reported that onethird of our people are poorly fed, poorly clothed and poorly housed. From what standards do we measure or make x»ur comparisons? The fact is we should set stand-"! ards by individuals. If those who j live in but one room desire two j rooms, we should make it possible | for them to acquire two rooms, if they want them badly enough to work to get them. Freedom from "want" or freedom from "need" really means the opportunity to work, to acquire, to save. The world cannot do much for those who, given the opportunity to work and acquire and save; refuse to grasp the opportunity so offered, but expect society to protect them, without-any effort iin their part. We can create opportunity for the individual through production. We must make things before they can be divided, and the American system has offered the individual far greater opportunity than can be found in any other nation. Possibly we might encourage the introduction of the American system into other nations for the benefit of less fortunate peoples and so do much toward solving the world problems. • • • IT IS A SAFE BET that when the final chapter of this war is written, there will b§ no factories left in Germany in which war equipment can be produced. • ••.•• QUITE NATURALLY, we hear much more of the army and the ' navy than of the marines, until there is a real hard fighting job to be done.

Prove Their Efficiency• in Optical Plant, ATLANTA.--If you think shaping curves always has been a woman's job*, you're thinking about the wrong kind of curves. • . • The art of shaping curves in spectacles-- the kind you look through, not at--is an entirely new accomplishment for women. It's another field open to them as a result of the war. Take the. case o^ the Southeastern Optical company, one of this region's largest manufacturing and distributing optical firms. ^The mechanical departments were staffed practically 100 per cent by men and A. T. Vannerson Jr., manager, admits frankly he was skeptical whether women could do the exacting work required. But that was before the draft started taking employees who had spent years learning the trade. So Vannerson--and others in the industry--had > to call in women to fill the gaps. . Now girls are performing every type of work in his shops. , . In the regular shop, where the usual glasses are turned out, there, are as many women as men. In the military shop, the only employees who don't wear dresses and smocks are the foremen.. Operating on a subcontract for the army, thi3 shop makes glasses for use by bespectacled soldiers when they wear gas masks. "You've got to give them a pat on the back," says Vannerson. "They're stepping right in and doing good specialized jobs. "In the matter of neatness and detail their work couldn't be bettered by men." Vannerson agrees that women are "probably a little more appreciative of detail." Head Cold or Allergy? Latest Test Will Tell J$T.N IjQUIS.--Scientists have developed! a dye that within 60 seconds can prove whether a "cold"" is due to infection by common cold germs or to allergic irritation, according to -Dr. French K. Hansel of St. Louis. Dr. Hansel described the dye before a meeting of the American Public Health association. The dye is used to stain a sample of nasal discharge containing tiny particles. The particles turn blue if they are germs and red if the irritation is due to allergy. Confusing the two afflictions during treatment may be harmful, Dr. Hansel said. The dye also is used in diagnosing sinus infections- He said about 12 per cent offthe children who have chronic colds and bronchitis suffer from allergy rather than infections. Many unnecessary operations for removal of tonsils are performed on children because some physicians fail to recognize the presence of an allergy, he said $40-a-Month U. S. Private Add# $1,600 to Saving* LONDON.--Private Lee Clary of Luling, Texas, who has been saving $40 a month out of his pay to buy a farm after the war, is $1,600 richer today--but not as a result of his savings. Clary received a $2,000 reward for finding a $25,000 brooch. He gave Patricia Brown $400 for helping locate the owner, Mrs. Jack Lysaght, wife of the international tennis player. The rest he sent home. Mrs. Lysaght lost the brooch on September 22. Clary found it on his way to the American Red Cross club for a snack.

Musical instrument making developed slowly from wood carving. The Industry House, popular with tourists, is headquarters for a permanent exhibit of the varied craft of over 500 jewelry manufacturers.
