Of these, 2,322 are in manufacturing jobs, intimately concerned with ,the bombers that are the Strategic Air Command's mainstay. Currently, says Mel Vobach, - Boeinremployment manager, the trend is to hire fewer women except for clerical or stenograph icwork. . ; - But that's because in most in stances the labor demand can be met by hiring men. Other things being equal, men still have pref erence because they represent families to feed, clothe and house.

CMcEwen Rioto) Everyone Can Even in 3 Hours, Says Expert By The Associated Press Learn to swim? Sure, anyone can do it, says Squadron Leader Scott E. Alexander of the Canad ian air force. He ought to know. He has long been a swimming instructor. He had always consid ered a month was needed to teach a person to swim. Then he had curve thrown at him. He wa3 told he must teach a group of trainees to swim and he had only three one-hour periods to do it in. He found the answer. He did not have one failure. Of course a good instructor and a rigid sched ule helped. But he worked out a series of basic steps. He says the big thing is to overcome fear of the water. Once that is done, the student can quickly learn to swim. First he says,, you should squat down with your head under water. The average man should -be able to hold his breath for S3 to 40 seconds Keep' at it until you do not feel uncomfortable with water 'over your head, v Second, stand with water to your armpits. Cup your bands and sweep them back in a breast stroke. Here's where an instructor is handy to show you how to do it,. But you can watch how- other swimmers do it Be sure to sweep the arms as far back as possible. The Jast part of the stroke helps most You will find your feet have a tendency to leave the bottom of the pooL This is as it should ba It will teach you the lifting power of a swimming stroke.

Here again, a good instructor is handy. You should learn to kick so that it will drive you forward and you have to 'hold yourself away from the side of the pool with your hands. After this kicking exercise, Alexander puts a very small bal loon under his chin and floats with his lungs deflated. Then he lets the students try it This is merely to demonstrate that a very small amount of air will keep you afloat Fourth, you put into practice wnat you learned in the third step. Lie face down in the water and kick. You should be able to kick your way across the pool be fore you stand up to breathe.'. Fifth, lie face down, and paddle with your hands; ' You ' may- also want to try paddling and kicking at. the samer time .before yog try the sixth step. Sixth, lie face down, paddi and kick. Then turn your head so your mouth is out of water and breathe. You are swirnmingf ' ' ' Remember to stay in shallow water until you san swim easily.

Navy Garbage or By ROY ESSO YAN PEARL HARBOR (IP) The Korean war may be over but as far as the Navy is concerned the hangover has barely begun.

Measurement Of Time Still Big Problem NEW HAVEN, Conn. INS) Astronomers can define a unit of time within one twenty-billionth of a second, but they aren't satisfied too inaccurate. " Of the three standards used in pure science, the distance of a centimeter (the unit of length) has been measured precisely, as has been the gram, the unit of mass. But the unit of time, the second. is a comparatively vague little thing. Attempts to measure time with an atomic clock are now in prog ress at the National .Bureau of Standards, bnt Prof. Dick Brouwer of Yale says that thev most ac curate measurements are still ob tained by studying the rotation of the earth with the aid of observa tions of the moon and sun. Brouwer writes in the Yale Sci entific Magazine that for a long time astronomers were frustrated in their time ' measurements by variations in the length of the day. Seems that in the 1870's 'days were about four one-thousands of a second shorter than normal and that between 1902 and 1912 they were longer by about the same amount j HARD ROCK JOB EL CERRITO, Calif. V-A huge rock slid down a hillside and blocked a street. Three contrac tors failed to break it up by using gases in drilled holes, sledges and wedges and dry ice.

Surpluses Inevitable J, ' Congressional .critics have asked: Why does the Navy pile up such a mountain of stuff for the junk man? Why does it sell it so cheap? .Rear Adm. Joseph L. Herlihy recently took over the naval supply, center at Pearl Harbor and its headaches. He escorted a group of newsmen ; through his second-hand dealers para dise, and he gave them these answers: Surpluses are as inevitable as taxes and war. "The ideal situation would be an empty supply line the day the war is over. Then there'd be no surplus, no waste. "But to do that you would have to know the day - the war will end and you would have to stop ordering suppliesJL2 to 18 months before then." Issues Catalogue When enough items. are ready for sale, the Navy issues a cata logue and invites sealed bids. If you want a locomotive, a road grader or a box car, you prob ably can buy one. If you want an old typewriter or a small business machine you might have to buy 50. Automobiles have averaged 12 to 14 per cent of cost to the gov ernment and construction equip ment about 8 per cent But prices vary widely- A light car, 1948 model, sold for $225 the other day. Another, a little more wea ther beaten brought $50. And it would cost $250 to ship either car to the mainland. : The admiral says the Navy figures the nation already has had 100 per cent use of the material in the form of insurance for the country's safety. Also, there is litle point dn waiting for Jjetter prices. In four years the cost of warehousing equals the cost of the equipment 'MS TMl NATURAL APPLE PECTIN D rr5gfestin0hoi Phon 3-4311 w
