The same to be applied to the purchase price upon for all concerned. In some of the Defense Commissions official hand outs—handouts for which w’e can be sure that Mr. Knudsen was not per-^ sonally responsible—the public were treated like children. They were fed on almost meaningless; generalities (because there was no further break down or analysis) about our turning out 1,000 airplanes a month or a "fighting ship” eveTy twelve days. Such a policy , could only lead to dangerous complacency in public thought, and a lack of realization of the real effort required of \is. Now| that Mr. Knudsen has broken through | this policy to treat us like adults and dash some cold facts in our faces, it should awaken us to action. The defense effort to date is not satisfactory enough to warrant hopes that everything is all well. . . Frank ly, we are not doing anything com pared to the forecast by the manu facturers and the commission in July, and our hoped-for production fig ures for Jan.-l, l®41, of 1,000 planes per month has to be scaled down by 30 per aent to^bfr oowacU-^——- Whatsis to be done about it? Great er sacrifices are obviously called for. on the part of both industry and la- i bor. Mr. Knudsen points to at least, one specific measure: i Friday night has become the bigj night in most of our industrial pic-j ture. It used to be Saturday night—] fwe have cut 20 per cent off our ma- j c,hine time. Can we afford to do| this? Cfan’t we stop this blackout, this lack of production from Friday, to Monday, and get more out of the' equipment? We can train the men to i operate it. Isn’t it possible to put; the defense job on a war basis, even; if we are at peace? ! We must put our industry on a and shoes used up all her savings— there was nothing le^t for Pierre’s violin.

These Americans— they seemed happy enough to help her on ^Christmas eve! “Pleez, m’sieur, a penny!” she cried to the passers-by on Broad way. “A penny for my leetle Pi erre’s violin!” Marie had collected seventy-eight cents before the big Irish policeman saw her. “Here now, old gumil!” he pro tested. “Don’t yez know ye can’t panhandle here? Come along now to th’ station!” A few minutes later old Marie was pouring out her story to the gruff desk sergeant. She was confused. “Thees panhandling,’^ she com plained. “You say I cannot do it But I only try to get money for Vie violin, so your Santa Claus weel come to my leetle Pierre. See?”— she held out her money—“I only need four dollars and. twenty-two cents more!” “Well, now, that’s different,” the sergeant replied. “Come boys”— he addressed the policemen gath ered around his desk—“let’s kick in the five dollars to buy a violin for Marie’s little Pierre! Sure now, and where’s your Christmas spirit?” A few minutes later a grateful old Marie was hurrying down the snow- covered side street to Sam Rubens* pawn shop. But alas! Sam was just handing the violin to a well-dressed old gentleman as Marie stormed in. The evening’s varied program, the music, fun and merriment, the pre sentation of mfts and awards, and the scholarly a<wess made the annual social fimction an enjoyable event in keeping with others given by the club since its organization eighteen years ago. i Group singing was enjoyed during] the evening with Dr. John G. Bar den as leader and Mrs. Owens, ac companist. The program concluded with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne' The dining room was arranged for the occasion with Christmas green ery and seasonal color, a red, green and white color scheme being used in detail. Centering the president’s table was a reindeer and sleigh Christmas scene arranged on a re flector outlined witl^ angel’s hair. On either side were groups of silver balls, angels dressed in white taffeta with silver wings, and tall white tapers in silver holders. The other tables were adorned with tall burn ing tapers and mounds of holly. Spj^ys of holly were banked on the piano where red tapCrs burned in tall candlesticks, and also on the windows. Kiwanis “welcome” plac ards arranged in the room added to the effective setting. The decora tions were in charge of Mrs. W. T. Martin, Mrs. W. W. Harris, Mrs. Hendei^n Pitts, Mrs. Gus Holllings- worth and Mrs. Thomwell Dunlap. ' Those attending the party were: ^ Mr. and Mrs. L. E.
