Byrnes reiterated the adminis t ation's intention of providing for f sn relief and of allowing full j. Hilary requirements in words which obviously hit at recent crit icism in and out of congress of Jirny buying policies and of ship men'ts of food abroad. We must allocate our available i inplies among competing uses — c.vilian. military and foreign—in the light of their importance. We cannot follow the principle of ‘the wheel that squeaks the loudest, gets the grease.” In this connection, Byrnes said he had rejected suggestions that ateliers’ rations be reduced. He 5aid that military stocks, instead o: being excessive as has been claimed by some critics, are at relatively low levels. Emphasizing that rationing of many food items will have to be co: tinned after Germany falls, he ta d. Victory in Europe will not tnd starvation there. We must prevent disease and v test in the areas where (our) troops are stationed. We are in stable governments, and stable governments cannot be expected v. re the people are hungry.” E. rncs gave assurances, how t that foreign aid will be vrrighed carefully in the light of iris country's own essential needs and its capacity to produce. fiew Bern Lions Club To Be Chartered Soon NEW BERN.

If their war-suffered handi. caps permit, returning soldiers are assigned the type of work they performed before entering the armed services. For the others a carefully worked out formula de Which they are best suited. The soldier’s return to industrial employment begins with a medica examination. In some instances ar aptitude test follows; in others the rehabilitation work is under the supervision of special represen tives of 1h? company personnel de partment. In all cases the worker is fittec to an existing job essential to the general production scheme. T h e handicapped worker is paid t h e rate for the job to which he i assigned. Every effort is made tc convince the worker that he ii needed in that job. Problems of accumulated senior ity have to be considered in the case of former employes returning from military service. They were absent on military leave ar.d twe years or three years of military service counts as additional job seniority. The seniority, however, applies only in the worker’s pre I war classification and not on a ■ | plant - wide basis. , Once assigned to a job, the vet . eran with physical impairment can > not be transferred without appro : val of the medical department. - This rule is observed even when ■ he worker himself asks a trans fer from a job which has been ■ picked for its safety to another , which is more hazardous. • At the Ford Motor company t plants the employment of physi - cally handicapped war veterans ■ fits in with a program Henry Ford . inaugurated more than 20 years ago. At tha time he decided that Ford plants in each community i should represent a cross-section i of the community’s population. Thus if one out of every 6,000 persons was blind, then one of ev ery 6,000 Ford workers must be a blind man. Currently approxi mately 12,000 men and women with physical impairments are em ployed in the Ford plants. For disabled veterans who do not feel ready to take a job, the Henry Foici Trade school has open ed Camp Legion, a 500-acre occu pational rehabilitation center in suburban Dearborn. The veterans live in camp, and learn machine shop and farm practices. They re ceive $3 a day and their room and board. General ^ Motors corporation, which has sent 105,000 workers to the armed services, has 25,000 World War II veterans on its rolls and the Hudson Motor Car com pany plants have more than 1,400. There is no re-designing of ma chine tools and other equipment in any of the factories for the re urning soldiers. M i n or altera tions, such as changing from right to left hand controls, have been made w here po ao tbve-i (d I made where possible to aid vet lerans handicapped by the loss of Ian arm. American Seamen Give Lives To Save Norwegian Refugees iviarun ox.—^—±n% Admiralty said today 14 Americar seamen and their captain had giv en their lives at sea to save IS Norwegian refugees being taker to England after their rescue from the bleak island of Soroy. The Americans were part of the crew aboard the Liberty ship Hen ry Bacon, which was sunk by Ger man torpedo planes shortly after she had weathered a hurricane which forced her out of a convoy This was the story as told bj the Admiralty: British destroyers took 500 Nor wegian patriots off Soroy twc weeks ago and distributed them among freighters on their waj uat'K. 10 f-ngianu alter uenveiing war supplies to Russia at Mur mansk. Nine women, seven children and three men were put aboard the Henry Bacon. The hurricane smashed all but one of the ves sel’s lifeboats. As the storm eased, 17 German planes made for the ship. The American seamen put the Norwegians in the sole lifeboat, with five crewmen to handle it, then turned to battle the planes. They shot down five before the Liberty ship was hit and began sinking. The seamen went over board into the bitterly cold water and a few managed to save them selves by clinging to wreckage, but the 15 men perished with the ship. BUILT HERE The S S. Henry Bacon was the 40th Liberty ship built by the North Carolina Shipbuilding corr£ pany. « Her keel was laid on Sept. 29? 1942, and she was launched on Nov. 11 under the sponsorship of Mrs. William B. McKoy. She was delivered to the U. S. Maritime commission on Nov. 24, 1942. -V Most Retail Stores Will Close Monday Walter J.

HERE'S A SAMPLE PUZZLE-justt£e%IV0U 1- SEE EXPLANATION BELOW THE PUZZLE —-i EXPLANATION Note this Sample Puzzle. Notice the objects illustrated and the plus and minus signs, which mean that you add or subtract. ...... You see the letters O-A followed by a plus sign after which comes an object mat is obvi ously an ARM. Therefore, to O-A you.add the letters A-R-M, which gives you O-A-A-R-M. | ! Then you subtract R as directed, leaving O-A-A-M. Next comes a plus sign followed by a | PEN, so you add P-E-N, giving you O-A-A-M-P-E-N, to which you now add RING, plus the letter I, as directed. Thus, you have O-A-A-M-P-E-N-B-I-N-G-I, from which you then subtract PIANO. So you cross out the letters P-I-A-N-O, leaving A-M-E-R-N-G-I, to which you add the next object, CAN, or the letters C-A-N, giving you A-M-E-R-N-G-I-C-A-N, from which you finally subtract the letters G-N-N, giving you AMERICA as the solution.
