Arbitration Board* B To Prevent Strikes Increasing recourse to arbitration for settling disputes that might du rupt production and stem the flow of defense materials has been noted by Cornelius V. Whitney, new presi dent of the American Arbitratkn sociation In a single week of De cember. Whitney said, more than 200 firms and unions havt sought in formation on procedure in arbitrat ing disputes?and a majority of tht >? requests have come from parties en gaged in important defense projects | . . . This significant trend toward pre vention of strikes and stoppages by voluntary means may be interpret ed as a heartening sign of labor management cooperation in the in terests of national defense During j recent weeks, the association's pies | ident pointed out. more than a score of unions have been added to those already using the facilities of the voluntary industrial arbitration tri bunal of the organization to settle their controversies with employers j See Silver Lining In Plane Manufacture First important "priorities** ruling i put in effect to aid tig deftnai drive 1 was decision that the aircraft in- J dustry. through 1941, may make only ; replacements for existing commer cial planes?so that all expanded fa- ' cilities can be devoted to producing military' planes and engines for them. Although this seems to put aj halter on one of the most sensation ally-expanding young industries, government officials see a silver lin ing for the industry. That is that it ? will reap the benefits of the tremen dous amount of laboratory work, ex perimentation and trial being done by Uncle Sam and John Bull on mil itary aircraft Of course, the techni cal advances resulting from this ef fort are primarily directed to in creasing the efficiency of planes for fighting purposes, but many of the changes and improvements worked out will be- equally?valuable fun adaptation to commercial flying And it would cost the commercial plane industry a pretty penny to run that volume of expel orientation on their own' FIRST TRAINEES ACCEPTED tillering Fort Bragg last week, Martin County's first trainees were formally accepted into the Army there on Tuesday of this week.

Two Types Insects That Attack Shrubs You can look a horse in the mouth nd tell ho wold it is "You can also uok at the mouth of an insect which attacking flowers arid shrubs and ell what kind ot poison or insecti ide to use against it." says J O Lowell, entomologist of the N. C tate College Extension Service. Theer are. generally speaking, two lajor groups of insects from the landpoint of control. Rowell ex lained. One group includes those in ects with chewing mouth parts and .hich are controlled, for the most art. through the use of stomach oisons The second group includes nsects with sucking mouth parts ind these are controlled mainly hrough the use of contact insecti ides and fumigants. The entomologist" says that it iar isually very easy to identify the in ects with chewing mouth parts, ?ither by examination of the mouth >arts or by observing the nature of heir attack. Representatives of this jroup include garsshoppers. leaf ?hafers and caterpillars. "Perhaps the most satisfactory ;tomach poison on the market to con rol chewei's'. is arsenate of lead," towel! declared "It can be used as i dust or spray, but caution m ad .jsed since it is poisonous to hu ll a ns and animals " ' a in:.ret: with racking mouth >arts include plant litre, scale, in .ects and leaf hoppers They suck he juice from their'host plants. The nbst common and widely-used con tact insecticide for this type of in ject is nicotine which may be ap ilied as a spray or dust. Howell stated 111 conclusion that i satisfactory combination stomach >oison and contact spray may be nade by preparing an arsenate of ead solution and adding 1-2 ounce ?f soap and 1 teaspoonful of 40 per rent nicotine sulphate for each gal on nf arsenate of lead solution. < \KI> OF THANKS I wish to sincerely thank those a ho have so generously assisted me since my home burned last Satui lay night The kind arts 'and the many things given m< are hereby July acknowledged 1 thank you again, very sincerely.

Merry Christmas All I ' This Week In Defense I r~As?Piesidem?Rimsevt It?definod [ i effective rearmament" and as in- j rrriiril attention was paid to de- | I fensc financing and the_effect of to jlal defense on the civilian popula I tion. defense preparations this week I accelerated with the ordering of ad I ditional production facilities and the i (speeding of work in established plants. In a message to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Pres ident defined total defense as "more j than ammunitions and men It means j an equitable distribution of the1 wealth from our unparalleled re- j sources, help for the underprivileg ed. security for workers and farm ers and whatever is necessary to keep democracy a dynamic force." The call for further efforts came from Coordinator of National De fense Purchases Donald Nelson who told the Bankers Club of Chicago that he saw "disturbing signs that the American public is not yet fully aware of the peril" from the wars abroad and that he sensed a "let down a form of drowsiness in duced by familiarity with the strug gle " "The realities of today cry out for speed, speed and more speed on na tional defense," Mr Nelson said. "This means more work, more dis turbance to 'normal' processes, more sacrifice on the part of everybody. We must shrug off this drowsi ness . this sense of complacency . . . reject these slogans . . that tell us we can build up the mightiest de fense machine in history and at the same time continue business as us ual' . that we can have our cake and eat it too," the NDAC official said. "The democratic way is for groups that sometime feel that their interests conflict?labor and man agement groups, farm and city groups, consumer and producer groups?to join their collective as sets and capacities into the one su preme effort." Indications of Increasing Speed The NDAC disclosed in a state ment^lo~the~pFe5S-That new fighting ships for the Navy are being com missioned at the rate of one every 12 days. The commission said that acceleration of the $7,700,000,000, | two-ocean fleet program had cut the i 40-month* period normally required to complete cruisers to 35 months in some cases; that submarine con struction had been cut from 30 to ~24 months; and that destroyers were being launched three months ahead j of schedule. I Assistant Secretary of the Navy Compton told reporters that tin* j Navy's building program now has "a running start" and "our main job is to keep it rolling." Stating to the American Merchant Marine Conference in New Orleans that a strong Merchant Marine is essential to U. S. industry and the U. S. Navy. Rear Admiral Land. NDAC Coordinator of Shipping, de eland that "the defense* program | of the Maritime Commission is fur ther along than any other compara ble defense activity hut I am not sat isfied that we are far enough along." The Admiral added that although there are "real problems yet to be mi-t miH snlvi'H." the "ground work is prepared" Under the Maritime Commission program started in 1936. he said. 170 new ships were begun. 84 of which have been launched with one additional being launched each week. Another indication of increased speed came when Col. Brehon Som ervell, former New York City WPA administrator, was appointed chief, Construction Division, Office of the Quartermaster General, in charge of Army camp construction shortly af ter Secretary of War Stimson told a press conference that although "in general ... it seems to be a very creditable performance so far," con struction delays at Army camps have forced the date of induction into the Federal service of 96,000 National Guardsmen from February 3 to "not later than April 1." Labor's Pledge Intention of labor to assist in ex pediting the defense effort was in dicated when the NDAC Labor Pol icy Advisory Committee made pub lic a statement pledging labor's con tinued cooperation in a program of uninterrupted work in defense in dustries. NDAC Commissioner Hill man declared that "the point of view expressed by this committee, which speaks for all sections of organized labor, again confirms and under scores what has been and remains the serious determination of labor's leaders and its rank and file to give unstinted support to insure the suc cess of the national defense pro gram." Commissioner Lubin of the Bur eau of Labor Statistics predicted that jobs for 6,000,000 will have been cre ated directly or indirectly by the de fense program by Christmas 1941. Testifying before the House commit tee investigating migrant labor problems, Mr. Lubin said that de I fense industries alone will have cre ated 4,000,000 new jobs while 2,000, 000 additional jobs will have been created in occupations serving the 'defense workers.
