Introducing the discussion, Mrs. Dodge stressed the need for a vo cation with special college train ing, citing the words of a num ber of employers who are asking for training and experience and who state that already as war production has rounded the peak there la growing competition among employers.

Is fish a brain ffcod ? Sorry, but scientists say that fish does no more for your brain than any other food, and not even a ton of fish will make you a mental giant. But fish is a good protein food—equal to meat—and it costs no ration points.

A fe llo w down the road from us runs a kind of dry- goods store In town, and you know he can see what Is go ing on. He says he has to put things like new dresses and suits In hts windows nt night now. If he tries it In the daytime, some body will grab 'em off his arm before he can get them on his window models. He never gets to look at his stuff he doesn't know what the styles are, he says, never sees them on his window figures. Maybe you have been wondering why you see so many September moms In the window. Now you know why. If a suit sells for $30 or $40, lt makes no difference. If it had a 10 cent or a $10 tax, It would still rfiake no difference, or cramp sales. If this fellow had time, he says, he would write hts Con gressman about a sales tax. but as it Is hs just puts hts stuff in the window and jumps for his life.

Both the recruit ment and the placement of farm labor thia year la In charge of extension agricultural agents. Shortage of men workers this year will require greatly Increased numbers of women workers. Mrs Muck says. She estimates that , about 40,000 placements of women 1 wl" bp "«^saary Ihls year rum- pared with 28,000 last year. Thev will be used not only for fle'd work and harvesting of season- crops throughout the state, hut also will be placed in full-time Jobs such as ranch cooks, dnirv workers or for general farm work. Although It will be a few weeks before the peak demands for women farm workers will arise, Mrs. Mack points out that the lo cal county farm labor offices are getting their records In shape and making lists of women workers who will be available when they are needed Some of these mem bers of the women's land army are already being called on by farmers, even before harvest pe riods of seasonal crops.
