The Florida Federation of Women's
Clubs at its recent convention adopted
two resolutions, (1) protesting the
lack of justifiable recognition of
women on policy forming committees
of the government and (2) protesting
the ban placed on musical recordings
by James Petrillo, president of the
American Federation of Musicians.

Santa Claus will have a plentiful
supply of toys for this Christmas,
but doubts are already expressed on
his requirements for next year.
GLAMOR
Platinum, long used for engage
ment and wedding rings is on its way
out because the War Production
Board has prohibited its use in mak
ing jewelry. Platinum articles al
ready manufactured, however, may
still be sold. Platinum is now needed
in the manufacture of nitric acid and
radio tubes.
Perhaps yellow gold which goes and
comes in the fashion world will again
come to the fore for wedding rings.

DO YOU KNOW? ...
"How to Win on the Home Front"
is a pamphlet written by Hellen Dal
las and offers a practi^l plan by
which the
average
Hair dodads of every size and shape
will be worn this winter and among
the most popular are the feather gad
gets. Fine feathers for fine ladies
seems to be the theme. So, if you
would look festive, wear a frivolous,
feminine looking headpiece with a
well groomed hair do. Ask gradma
for her ostrick curls, if a beau-catcher
you'd be.
A new WPB order assures us gals
of adequate supplies of cosmetics, so
we no longer will have to choose be
tween face powder and gunpowder.
Nor will we have to give up our lip
sticks to the war effort.
Types, sizes, foims and packaging
of our cosmetics will be simplified, but
they will still be adequate for our
needs.
A questionnaire answered by two
hundred employees of OPA repre
senting most of the states, proved
that lipstick came first in importance,
face powder second, deodorants, rouge
and cold cream next in order.
We are urged to buy cosmetics
sparingly and economically as many
of the materials, such as alcohol, gly
cerine, dye chemicals and zinc or tin
oxide which go into cosmetics are also
needed for war purposes.
We are asked to set aside those
compacts and lipstick holders we may
need for future use and make use of
re-fills, and contribute all the extra
ones not needed to the scrap metal
salvage campaign. Even small
amounts of brass and steel are wanted
by our government.
THE MAN power problem is still
under study by government agencies
and a number of proposed solutions
are being considered, but according to
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins,
three million more women for the na
tion's industrial labor force will be re
cruited within the next thirteen
months.
Women are needed not only in war
industries, but in factories, shops and
businesses for the duration.
Asked how she proposed to solve
the problem of getting women back
into home routines after the war,
Madam Perkins replied, "Nature will
take care of that problem, as 90 per
cent of our women want to live in

PANTRY PALAVER
Have you ever thought of the
amazingly important part played in
our civilization by the lowly can
opener
Many regard the can-opener as an
article of no importance, but the truth
is vastly different—in fact, the can
opener is the cornerstone of our mod
ern civilization. It matters little
whether the ean-opener of your choice
be one of those elaborate contraptions
fastened to the kitchen wall or the
more common and humble variety
that is plunged into the tin by brute
force and which you push, lower, lift
and slug through to a successful sepa
ration of cover from can.
Food is the basis of all existence.
Our modern machine civilization
could not exist without the existence
of food in modern containers which
enables long distance shipment, pres
ervation and quick preparation.
The glass can is ersatz, temporarily
born of desperation, doomed to pass
from the scene when tin is once more
available to the arts and necessities of
peace. Take the tin can from the
American pantry and you take us
back to primitive America, where
"man's work runs from sun to sun
but woman's work is never done"—
and never done as well as today,
either.
But however vital to our modern
existence the tin can and its contents
may be, it would be useless were it
not for the opener of the can, the dime
store device which is the sesame to all
good things the key to the treas
ures of sustenance and nectar by
which ye live.
By virtue of this lowly device and
such brute strength and ornate vo
cabulary as we may have developed,
we are enabled to slam a quick lunch
on the table and thus make our get
away from home ahd fireside.
So let us have proper regard and
deep respect for the can-opener, that
little item which brings us in touch
with calories, vitamins, bulk, flavor
and gustatory gratification, even
though it jabs our fingers and does
temporary damage to our tempers.
More than any other tool in our
possession, the can-opener is the in
strument of our release from bondage.
All other conveniences and comforts
would be of little avail, without the
surcease from cookery made possible
by that devilish and yet delightful lit
tle contraption, the can-opener.
There should be a monument to its
inventor and another to the man or
woman who can make one that never
slips and never fails. May there al
ways be cans to open, can-openers
with which to open them, and fami
lies that will not suspect us of duck
ing our duty by an overly zealous use
of both of them.
As has been said, folks may eat all
they can and can all they can't, but in
vain can they eat all they can and
can all they can't except by the grace
of the humble but great opener of
all cans, the five and dime item so
long belittled, the jibed at can-opener.
Have I made my point? If not, you
will find that, too, at one end of your
can-opener!
ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION

New York City.—The American
Arbitration Association announced a
revised edition of its vlountary labor

war regulations and conditions.
A special section on the arbitration

WORKERS ASKED
NOT TO HUNT
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Chair
man Paul V. McNutt of the War Man
power Commission has appealed to
war workers to remain at their jobs
during the game hunting season if
their absence will slow down war pro
duction. "About 500,000 licenses
have been issued for the deer hunting
season in Michigan alone," he said.
"It has been estimated that between
5 and 6 million man hours will be lost
in that one state."
LABOR-MANAGEMENT UNIT
SUCCEEDS IN SHIPYARD
San Francisco. Frank discussion
of mutual problems is credited by the
Labor-Management Committee of the
California Shipbuilding Corporation
for "results far beyond our expecta
tions."
Meeting every Monday, six com
pany executives and seven AFL labor
union representatives consider prob
lems accumulated during the previous
week. These conferences have helped
to solve such problems as:
Elimination of lost man-hours
methods of increasing production im
provement of parking facilities group
insurance Selective Service and de
ferments, and industrial grievances.
Prize winning production ideas
from employes also are judged by the
Labor-Management Committee. Dur
ing the seven months in which sug
gestion contests have been held, more
than 3,000 labor-saving and safety
improvement ideas have been judged.
Winners have been given war bonds
of $100, $50 or $25 face value.
BROADCAST THIS TO GOEBBELS
(From the New York Times)
Two days ago Wendell Willkie, de
feated Presidential candidate of the
so-called conservative party, stood
before our highest court to plead the
case of a Communist. It was not an
instance of a lawyer obligated by
legal ethics to defend a client. Mr.
Willkie accepted the case without fee
because he believed that an injustice
was being done which violated our
democratic concept of government.
The merits of the case remain to be
decided but Mr. Willkie, for his ac
tion, deserves the thanks of $11 Ameri
cans.

CIVIL LIBERTIES
UNION JOINS APPEAL
SCHOOL BOARD CASE
Milwaukee (ILNS).—Impeachment
of public officers because they are
pledged to uphold the principles of
the organization which helped elect
them attacks the foundations of our
democratic electoral system, the
A e i a n i v i i e i e s U n i o n
charged in a brief filed in the Wiscon
sin Supreme Court in behalf of two
Kenosha school board members ap
pealing their removal by a court
order.
Edward Weston and Edward N.
Rice, elected school board members,
were removed last May after jury
trial in a Wisconsin circuit court on
the complaint that their allegiance to
the Union Voters League, a trade
union body, interfered with their ex
ercise of independent judgment. This
disqualified them as to statutory and
constitutional requirement, the com
plaint held.
The Civil Liberties Union's brief
pointed out that the same kind of
pledges are given by candidates of all
political parties, adding that "if by
adhering to such a pledge to perfectly
legal principles we pei-mit a candidate
to become exposed to impeachment
by a court and a jury on the ground
that he has forsworn independent
judgment, have we not at one stroke
demolished the cornerstone of demo
cratic functioning?"
PENNIES OF PLASTICS
PROPOSED
Washington, D. C.—Pennies might
be made of plastics under a bill in
troduced by Senator Wagner of New
York. To conserve copper for the war
effort, the bill would authorize mint
ing of pennies from a number of ma
terials, including plastics or zinec
plated steel.
MILWAUKEE TEACHES CITY
PLANNING
Milwaukee, Wis.—By constructing
models of cities and city plans, indus
trial arts students of Milwaukee's
seventh to twelfth grades are learn
ing the principles of city design and
its expression of civic consciousness.
The city planning program acts as a
"core subject" in the industrial arts
classes, says the American Society of
Planning Officials, and is designed to
give the students some idea of the
"pattern for America tomorrow,"
both at the city level and for the coun
try as a whole. Recently the classes
completed a movie of the procedure of
building an 8-foot model showing in
detail the replanning of a city block.

FIVE STATES RELEASE
EMPLOYEES TO SERVE
ON MERCHANT SHIPS
Washington, D. C. (ILNS.—Follow
ing the lead of the Federal govern
ment, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Michigan and California
have made provision to allow their
civil service employes who are former
mariners to return to sea for the
duration of the war without loss of
civil service seniority rights, the War
Shipping Administration announces.
Federal civil service workers, the
WSA points out, are released for serv
ice in the merchant marine, their jobs
assured in accordance with the provi
sions of the President's Executive Or
der, which authorizes their release for
duty in defense industries.
N. Y. FACTORY JOBS RISE
Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).—Employ
ment in New York state factories in
creased 1.5 percent and payrolls 3.2
percent from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15,
Frieda S. Miller, Industrial Commis
sioner, announced. War plants hired
many, but average earnings declined
because"'of reduction in overtime
work, she reported.
NO PRIVILEDGED
CLASSES
(From the Motorman, Conductor and
Motor Coach Operator)
First industry, and now the people
of these United States, are on a full
wartime basis. President Roosevelt's
executive order providing for the
stabilizing of our national economy
effects every one of us. There are to
be no privileged classes or exceptions.
That is as it should be if we are to
overcome the threat of inflation and
its consequences.
Those of us who remember the last
war cannot help but feel more confi
dent that the same mistakes will not
be made this time and that the spiral
ing cost of living will be checked and
kept within bounds. It does no good
for a man to make five dollars an hour
if he has to pay a dollar a loaf for
bread or five dollars a pound for but
ter. That is putting in its simplest
terms the idea back of the President's
program.
President Roosevelt's executive or
der reaffirms the encouragement of
free collective bargaining between
employers and employes, and upon
that basis we can and will work out
our mutual problems satisfactorily.

COSTA RICA RETURNS
TO ILO MEMBERSHIP
Montreal (ILNS).—Entry of Costa
Rica into membership in the Interna
tional Labor Organization was an
nounced here by Edward J. Phelan,
acting ILO Director.
Costa Rica's admission was ap
proved unanimously by the members
of the ILO's governing body, Phelan
said. The governing body is composed
of representatives of governments,
employers and workers who voted on
the application by telegraph and
cable.
Phelan said the ILO was "extremely
gratified" that Costa Rica was again
a member. He pointed out that Costa
Rica was among the most advanced of
Latin American nations in social se
curity legislation, and expressed the
belief that "the renewed association
of Costa Rica and the ILO will be of
benefit to both."
Costa Rica joined the International
Labor Organization when it was es
tablished in 1920, but allowed its
membership to lapse when it with
drew from the League of Nations in
1927. Early last month the Costa
Rican Government formally expressed
its desire to renew its membership.
