Show e War Production Board Tells How to Dress for Victory Success of Dairy Union Effected by Price Parity Tate Eliminated Through Freezing of Current htles. Farm Authority Believes That John L Lewis Will Frighten Every Farmer Into Solid Attacking Front. By BAUK1IAGE films Analyst and Commentator. 'M Service, 1343 H Street, Washington, D. C. John L. Lewis, head of the United Mir.e Workers of America, is well on the road to uniting the farmers of America, but not all in the way he planned to when he started to organize his United Dairy Workers district 50 of under the famous his powtifui UM W. That is the verdict of a friend of mine in Washing! n, an official who has spent his days with farmers and faim organization heads and his nights sleeping v ith the farm problem throughout most of his adult years. He believes that John Lewis, by trying to unionize agriculture, has conjured up a devil that will frighten every farmer into a solid attacking fiont. Lately the return of gentle parity to the land had begun to have its d sintcgratmg cfToct on the farmers. Their long-s- i light goal reached, they began to turn back to their separate interests. The farmer wont lav down his hoe and pick up a pen and sign member-hi- p m something unless things ate going pretty bad. When he can manage to make both ends meet he ketps his ej e on the furrow. takes care of his own acres and follows the old New England motto that 'good fences make good In other words, he is neighbors.' the original rugged individualist. That is the way my friend put it to me. I was comnlaimng that I couldn't get any d finite information as to their plans out of the farm group representatives on this move on the part of Lewis to try to The organize the dairy industry. series of the meetings the group representatives were holding in Washington was pretty much behind closed doors. They wont talk about their plans," my friend explained, because they don't know what to do. Its an absolutely new thing in the American history of the men whose business it is to make a living out of the soil and domestic animals the idea of making a union out of capitalists. They dont know how to meet it. Personally I don't think Lewis will have any success. What Interests me is that his eflorts are likely to bring the farmers together again, the way they were brought together in the thirties, when America lost its export market for farm products, or for that matter the way they were brought together by the old Granger movement clear back in the seventies. It takes despair to unite the farmers. When America started to change from a purely agricultural country to a country the farmer had to unite to get his rights. Ever since then there have been farm organizations but it takes a real crisis like the one in the thirties to really bring them together. I asked him why he thought Lewis would faiL "Its been the history of every effort to make a union between city workers and farmers that after the farmers sign up they find the workers are running them, he said. They are suspicious. I have no doubt that a number of dairymen have signed up. I have no idea how many and I cant find out. But they are the men who Just cant make ends meet. They are the ones who havent been able to run their farms productively or else they are located so that their transportation costs cut their profits to losses. In other words, they haven't been able to keep their costs down. Lewis will have to offer them He cant very well something. promise to boost consumer prices at a time when price ceilings are in If he organizes farm the offing. If Ip and farm transportation that will put the costs up, not profits and, he added, you can't put a week. cow on a ... Coddling Two Version I have received a numl.r of letters protesting against the President's suggestion that this war be The Survival War. the writers do not issue with the argument that this is a struggle for the survival of one of two cultures, two types of thinking, but because the survival of the fittest phrase which means the fittest physicaLy. called BRIEFS: Tbe Poles have now returned to the forms of underground flghtfng used by them under the oppression Now they are of Czarist Russia, said to have a greater centralized detailed planauthority and more -ning. Many fo bidden newspapers are published. Many German soldiers and officers disappear. WPA community recreation projects are being suspended diumg the W'ar because 95 per cent of their personnel are engaged in war work. That may be a sound- - criticism. I do not contest it. But one thing is certain: We have to be more than physically fit to survive tins war. d I think we are turning out sold.ers, equal to cope with any enemy in strength, endurance and alertness. But there is no doubt that the nation has been coddling itself during lire last few years. The letters I get from many people with suggestions of what to do for the soldiers make me think that this idea of coddling is pretty deep. What the soldiers need most of all is not sweetmeats and goodies, but the assurances that the folks back home have faith that the cause is worth fighting for; and that the fighters are worthy of the cause that it is a duty to protect your country and not simply an unpleasant sacrifice. I think that kind of an expression is the one that does the soldier's heart the most good. I know that the only letters which I received in the last war that annoyed me were the ones which told me what deep sympathy the writer had for my many hardships, how I must be brave and bear it all, that my loved ones were so impressed with all that I was goii.g through. I was reading over some of my war let ers the other day. I recall the two tilings in them which helped me most. One was my mother's remarks that my new life as she caded it, might help me spiritually. She never characterized what I was doing as better or worse; she never discussed it in military terms, or the painfully inadequate terms in which a civilian tries to describe what he or she thinks military experience is. My mother suggested that perhaps my new career would give me a deeper meaning of life." That gave me something to think about The other kind of letter I liked to get was from my father with things If you have to sleep like this in it: on the ground hollow out a place for your hips. Then you won't be stiff in the morning." Or remember th.s, obey your officers but try to make friends with the sergeant Cakes and cookies are nice but they get pretty well bashed up and you have to open them in the presence of some hundred other guys so nobody gets enough. Coddling the stomach doesn't help one's intestinal stamina. Here in Washington I find that this coddling goes for the girls, too. Thousands of girls have come here to work. They didn't have to come. They are getting so well paid that girls in private offices quit and But the go with the government. s papers are full of lqng, tearful about how the poor things are so homesick they can't stand it They haven't enough boy friends to amuse them. All In all they have a terrible lot A series of highly thoughtful meetings were held recently by some anxious people in this vicinity where 80 per cent of the civilians employed by the army in the last five months have been women. When the army and navy auxiliaries are founded a lot more men will be replaced by women. So it makes Washington society slightly bogged down on the distaff side. We can't create men, said one employees service officer, tersely. The answer to that of course is, well, not immediately. The men exist, another official interested in the happiness of government employees delicately suggested, but the problem is to present them to the girls in as normal a way as possible and without patronizing anybody. Back in Colonial days it was different. Women were so scarce that when a boatload arrived there was heavy bidding and many a bale of tobacco had to be offered for a good wife. Since then, however, in most communities I think the supply has at least equalled the demand. And yet somehow the ladies uted to get by without pining away and dying, But now it's problem a national problem in the national capital and masons are languishing for dates because nobody can figure out how to present the boys to the girls without being patronizirg."

The cost of the war wdl bankrupt the nation. Men and women, designers and manufacturers, seem to have agreed already that the War Production boards orders covering the use of materials in the manufacture of clothing are not so bad. The average citizen in wartime will bear no resemblance whatever to the pitiably backs, belts and pleats. The absence of cuffs on the trousers will be no more noticeable than on military uniforms, while restrictions on width will affect only the "extra wide trouser styles. Shortening of the inseam will not result in shorter trousers but will account merely for the three inches ordinarily used in making cuffs. Trousers usually are delivered from the manufacturer to the retailer without cuffs and are finished for the customer after purchase. The WPB order forbids any person to tailor cuffs upon trousers, and this prohibition, involving severe penalties, applies all the way from the manufacturer, retailer and custom tailor, to the consumer's clothed figure pictured in recent cartoons. The changes will not be noticeable for a wife. This means many trousers, while, as they do not affect the made before thethat order went into efgarments already manufac- fect, will be long enough to permit tured for spring and summer culls.

The required increase in cheese and concentrated milk can be secured by a 7 per cent increase in all manufactured dairy products if some of the total production is shifted from creamery butter to the concentrated forms. Need Will Be Met. Creamery butter made up approximately 70 per cent of all manufactured dairy products in 1941, so any significant diversion of milk from the manufacture of butter will meet the needs for more milk to be made into cheese or to be condensed or evaporated. The production of dried milk in 1941 was less than the 1940 production, but a larger share of the total was prepared for human consumption. The consumption of fluid milk in cities has not increased at the rate expected. Increased payrolls and greater quantities of milk available do not Induce urban citizens to consume the amount of milk needed for adequate diets. Rural economists believe that the best interests of the dairy Industry at present require a definite policy as to price and of quantities of products to be purchased and stored, if increased production is to be maintained with the least expenditure of productive facilities. Tractor Trouble Advice If the farm tractor lacks pep, better check up on valves and valve mechanism. If there is rebound on each compression stroke when the engine is cranked slowly, the valves are closing properly. Lack of compression means waste of fuel and loss of power. Sticky Valves. Lack of compression in the farm tractor may be caused by sluggish or sticky engine valves. Engineers say this cause of power and fuel waste can often be remedied with a little kerosene. Start the engine, and after it has idled a while apply kerosene to the valve stems so that it works down between the stems and the guides. Adjusting Discs. To p event overloading the farm tractor, adjust the size of discs and disc plows to the power of tractors. If less draft is desired, the width of cut may be reduced or one or more discs may be removed. In operating in hard ground, weights should be used at the rear and front furrow wheels rather than on top of the frame or beam. Fills nis Task Nothing is void of God; He self fills His work. Seneca.
