That’s why refrigerators aren’t being made today. The metal and skill and labor they used are now being de voted to war production. SO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR It’D give you long service if you’U give it a little care. Keep the motor oiled if your refrigerator is the "open unit” type.

CHIUKEIoIIOlE “Textile Workers Perform Patriotic Service,” Says Rear Admiral Young Hie Navy has asked New England textile workers to make an all-oat effort to increase production of woolen cloth urgently needed for naval uniforms. Large quantities of woolen cloth are being produced for the Navy in a number of New England mills, but production must be increased to assure an adequate supply of protective clothing for the rapidly increasing Naval personnel. In a statement by Rear Admiral William Brent Young, Pay master General of the Navy and Chief of the Bureau of Supplies and account, production by textile workers was declared to be no less important to the war effort than production by munitions workers. He said: “It is imperative that the production of woolen cloth of Navy specifi cation, especially indigo-dyed melton, be greatly increased immediately. “We have sufficient wool, but a production emergency has arisen in the woolen mills ,due to a decline in the number of skilled textile workers. Many of them have gone into military service. Others have been attracted to the shipyards, munition plants and other industries. “Every American who is not in the military service should realise he can make his greatest individual contribution toward winning the war by doing the job he is trained to 0o best in the production of the materials re quired by the military forces or for essential civilian needs. “That is especially true of skilled textile workers. The man behind the spindle or the loom, producing protective clothing for our fighting forces, is performing a patriotic service just as vital to national security as the services of the men behind our guns.” [And the same applies to the textile workers of the South.—Ed.] Honor Roll of THE CHARLOTTE LABOR JOURNAL Employees of this paper in the services of their country. * * * * EDWIN A.
