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.

Handbook for Schools
Gives Job Guidance;
Says Work Dignified
Pittsburgh U.R Catholic edu
cators are not only stressing the
moral and intellectual develop
ment of pupils, but also are pro
viding vocational guidance to
prepare students for lifetime
jobs. .
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.

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

not need long runways for take
off and landing, and will be less
expensive to operate than pres
ent cargo planes.

Seedlings TODAY...
...Timber TOMORROW!
Tub millions of tree seedlings growing
on mountain sides are the timber of the
future. A Douglas fir may grow from
Christmas-tree size to a 125-foot tree in 50
years. The yearly growth of its young trees
is the gift of the forest to the future of the
Pacific Northwest. Every additional year
of gcowth is a promise of payrolls, taxes,
local business and local farm markets for
tomorrow. More than 8,000,000 acres of jun
ior forests are already growing on the West
Coast . a junior forest equal to the com
bined land area of Connecticut, New Jersey
and Delaware! Forest owners and nature
are partners in growing trees: Logging is
planned so that at least 32 acres of seed
trees remain on each section of harvested
timberland. Loggers are organized and
equipped to fight the enemy fire. The in
dustry nursery has a capacity of 5,000,000
seedlings per year for planting on bnrned
over lands. YES lumbermen and nature
are together increasing the gifts of the
growing forest for tomorrow's citizens!
