Mrs. Laura juhola, champion
wrestler on the ways, Kaiser Co.,
Vancouver Wash., challenged any­
one in the yard after pinning the
shoulders o f a fellow worker to the
pavement Tuesday, August 29.
A special meeting was called
Tuesday, August 29, for the scaler
foreman H. Van Allen to determine
whether or not he is mean or hard
to get along with, the scalers of
course did not attend the meeting
and it was rumored that he was on
the spot for speaking up for a Ne­
gro woman worker who was
stepped up to the position of leader.
Since being a worker under his
supervision I have found him to be
ideal to work under. If he had been
a slave driver with all the usual

W A R PRISONERS
AID EACH OTHER
Versatility is nowhere more nec­
essary than in the war prison
camps. Practical men who have al­
ways disliked pedagogy have be­
come excellent teachers of their
own profession or crades. Since the
millions of prisoners include every
occupation and skill, there is excel­
lent teacher and leader material to
help effectuate the world-wide pro­
grams of education, recreation, re­
ligion and vocational
training
which War Pnsoners Aid of the
V. M. C. A., a participating service
of the National War Fund, stim­
ulates and implements.
But the presence o f trained men
in any camp is determined by
chance and not by its needs, and
therefore Y. M. C. A. secretaries
have had to acquire new abilities
in order to serve prisoners.
For example, in camps in Ger­
many, theatricals are popular. Am­
ong the prisoners are professional
actors, while plays and theatrical
supplies are provided by the Y. M.
C. A. Make-up materials— lipstick,
rouge, mascara, creams—are im­
portant, and the person ordering
these for the camps must know his
subject intimately. Therefore, one
secretary mastered “ make-up” so
prejudices, and had followed the
old time tradition of segregation
and discrimination he probably
would have been seen in a different
light. But^ thanks to Van Allen
there is no segregation or discrimi­
nation in his department, you get
what your merit. It would be a
better yard if other departments
were to pattern their programs
after 1dm. I believe I speak for
scalers as a whole. I say we want

THE BREM ERTON APOLOGY BACKFIRES
(Continued from page 1)
Roosevelt’s Bremerton speech exposes an ominous situa-
tjpn. In the first place, it leaves no doubt that he is failing
rapidly. It leaves no doubt that he is more than ever politic­
ally a blank phonograph record which only plays a good tune
when some of the unscrupulous wrho cater to his ego and thus
keep on the government payroll, write the music.
Picture this aging, sick man surrounded and directed in
his mellow senility by such people as Harry Hopkins, Ickes,
Rosenman, Wallace, Frankfurter, Hillman, the Prendergast j
gang, the Kelly gang, boss Hague, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Per­
kins and others who have become firm ly entrenched in our
government. Picture our president sitting at the head o f the
peace table with the foxy Churchill kidding him into thinking
he is the greatest man in the world while England takes
everything except the bill for winning the war.
The subversive element that has succeeded in keeping
Roosevelt in office for a third term wants him more than
ever now for a fourth term because as he declines he is easier
to handle, being increasingly content with the plaudits o f the
dregs of our nation and delusions o f grandeur as he dozes in
the sunset o f a mania for power and more power even to the
point o f hoping to be ruler of the entire world.
The Bremerton speech was a God-given disclosure for
those capable of looking around and behind it.
thoroughly that, while the camps’ I
“chorus girls” may not equal those
of the Follies, the prisoners will
back their experts on theatrical
cosmetics against anyone on t"he
stage or in Hollywood. This Y. M.
C. A. authority on “ make-up” is a
clergy man!
