“We Ate Americans First and Trade Unionists Second” WILLIAM GREEN, PRES. A. F. OF L ABSENCE FROM .WORK CAUSED BY ILLNESS NEW YORK.—Over-indul gence in alcoholic beverages is a negligible factor in causing absenteeism among war work ers, according to a report made public here, of a survey conducted by Allied Liquor Industries among 200 com panies engaged in war pro duction and employing more than an estimated 3 million men. Managements of 70 per cent of the companies re sponding reported that illness was the major cause of absen teeism. When Mrs. Miss America Climbs Out Of Overalls This Spring, when Mrs. or Miss America climbs out of her day-a-day coveralls into a fresh new print for the Easter parade, she will find a smaller variety of printed fabrics worn by her friends, fewer new pat terns and a greater similarity, said WPB last week when the agency de cided to draft some of the copper rollers used to print cloth. The cop per is needed for scrap. New rulings on dyes and pigments will mean fewer bright and dark shades of textiles and clothing, includ ing shoes. The result, said WPB, "will be brighter shades in all types of fabrics.” Wurfftzer Spinette Pianos Convenient Terms PARKER-GARDNER CO. Jit W. Tndt Ph«m# OU 5i«* i an fill.

Mr. Walling em phasized that all other time spent right on the truck and furthering the employer’s business would be con sidered “hours worked” and hence compensable under the Act. This position of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, Mr. Walling stated, is in accord with that of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. -V Liquor and 6aa Will Not Mix. A Soldier On Pacific Sends Winning Slogan WASHINGTON.—An Army Ser geant “facing the Japs” somewhere in the Pacific battle area last week sent a V-Mail message to “Soldiers of Production,” broadcast by the WPB Labor Production Division, urging it to “keep the home front happy” and to “tell the men on the production line that— “EVERY MINUTE, HELPS US WINIT!” The letter and entry in the slogan contest, a feature of the “Soldiers of Production” broadcast over the Nat ional Blue Network each Sunday from 11:00 to 11:30 A.M. EWT, was writ ten by 1st Sgt. Leon K. Zainey, 176th Engineers (1st Bn) Medical Detach ment, whose address is a West Coast Army P.O. How or when he heard the broad cast is not known.

The action probably had the effect of killing the measure, which generally was opposed by organized labor. -V did, and, needless to say, his slogan entry won for him a copy of former Ambassador to Japan Joseph C. Grew’s best seller, “Report On Tokyo.” fiSlF YOU CANT BUY BONDS, BUY STAMPS SOLDIERS... in Denim and Gingham! One runs a drill; the other runs an egg beater. One works in slacks; the other (probably) in skirts. One prepares the food of War; the other prepares food for the family. One receives her reward in a sub stantial check; the other receives hers in the knowledge that she is keeping her fam ily well fed and “fit.” Both are soldiers. Webster, you know, defines “soldier” as: “A person of courage.” ^re they not . . . both of these women? They are both gal lant soldiers in this war are waging for decency and liberty.
