Surgical Dressing Project Explained By Local Chairman By Mrs. Gus Newbury ' (Red Cross Surgical Dressing Chairman) I would like to answer a ques tion asked by so many people In regard to tbe making or surgical dressings by the Red Cross. "Why are the women of America mak ing surgical dressings by hand when they can be made so much more expeditiously by machin ery? The best answer comes from the office of the Surgeon General of the United States Army. "Since it has been defi nitely established that machine- made dressings can be produced in quantity only sufficient for peacetime needs, it it the opinion of this office that in time of emergency full and complete re liance must be had upon the good offices of the Red Cross to fur nish hand-made dressings." Therefore the making of sur gical dressings has become a definite Red Cross obligation and is one of the most valuable serv ices rendered by the Red Cross to the army. When soldiers are wounded the doctors and nurses must have surgical dressings for them. The area office has allotted a large quota, and it is going to take many hands to get these dressings made and on their way. After the first of the year the workrooms in the auditorium at the courthouse will be open on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of each week, from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. The rooms are open on those days to all who care to Lhelp in this gbod cause. 1 Officers' Outpost To Have Program Of Holiday Events Beginning with a tea dance today, a week of holiday activi ties has been planned for the Officers' Outpost.

A handbook published by the diocese of Pittsburgh under the supervision of the Rev. Thomas J. Quigley, superintendent of schools, reiterates that work is dignified and that manual labor is not to be looked down' on. The program ft outlined in the guidebook includes speak ers on vocational topics, occupa tional surveys and suggestions on how to get and hold a Job. Regarding the aims of educa tion, the handbook advocates teachers instill in their pupils the moral virtues of Justice, temperance and fortitude. Guid ance counselors are also advised to offer aid in health matters, and emotional maladjustments and worries. School work should never be given as a punishment, the book advised, as it creates a feeling of hatred among pupils toward their studies. It also discour aged undesirable form of. pun ishment, such as sarcasm and ridicule, personal indignities such as striking and shaking. and memorising class assign ments. T B-24's Roll Off , Assembly Line at Willow Run Labor Trouble Overcome. By Anthony O. De Lorenzo United Press Correspondent Detroit (U.R) Henry Ford's conviction that bombers, like au tomobiles, can be built m quan tity on a progressive assembly line is proving itself daily at Willow Run, a key plant in America's war effort. The giant arsenal is doing so well that the War Department has permitted the Ford company to make its first official an nouncement of production fig ures. The company disclosed that more than 1.000 four-engined B-24 bombers have been flown away from Willow Run during the last year. Moreover, it is said that "substantial numbers of complete B-24 sub-assemblies had been shipped from the $60, 000,000 plant during the same period for final assembly else where. The plant, ground for which was broken In April, 1941, has hit Its stride after overcoming difficult' engineering and man power problems which threat ened for a time to disrupt the project. In fact, many critics in sisted there were too many ob stacles and the plant was doom ed to failure. However, Ford frequently re iterated that "all it takes is a little time." Willow Run's cm rent production rate proves his diagnosis was correct. Assembly - line production of bombers by Ford was hampered at first by frequent design changes, an enormous turnover I among trained personnel and an abnormal rate of absenteeism, especially during the severe cold wave last winter. Although design changes dic tated by battlefront strategy are unavoidable, the manpower problems have been alleviated by the War Manpower Commis- j sion's Job-stabilization plan, pro-! vision of additional housing for Willow Run workers, and by, transferring some of the manu facturing operations to Ford's River Rouge, Highland Park and Lincoln plants. j . The decentralization program feeding of bomber parts into Willow. Run from other Ford I plants has been a major contri-1 bution to success of the project. Ford already has announced j plans to utilize his knowledge uf j big plane production. He said he will build giant, multiple-engine 1 cargo passenger planes - "of , unique design" at Willow Run ! after the war. I Ford and his associates. In-1 eluding Charles A. Lindbergh,' flier and consultant to the 80- year-old manufacturer, are try ing to design a plane which will not need long runways for take off and landing, and will be less expensive to operate than pres ent cargo planes. dren, live on a farm In Austell, tag grandfather goes every Ga., to which the bomber-build-1 week-end for relaxation.
