20 NEW ENGLAND GETS HUGE SHOE ORDERS factories There Making 21,- 000,000 Pairs For Sol diers and Sailors ' Boston.—New England, the center *>f the nation's shoe industry, is leading to-day in the tremendous task of putting the Army and Navy "on their feet"—making shoes lor tur fighting men. Government contracts for 21,000,- 000 pairs of Army and Navy shoes Jiave been awarded in New Kngland alone, and the greater part of these orders are held by Massachusetts lirms. The magnitude of the work can "better be realized by the fact that if the shoes under contract were laid end 10 end they would reach from San Francisco to Australia, a ills tanoe of 6,300 miles. The price Uncle Sam will pay for "the shoes is between $4.60 and $4.90 a pair. Big plants have added to their equipment and practically all work ing throughout the twenty-four hours, the shifts being broken up into eight-hour periods. Close to 20,000 shoe workers are engaged in the Brockton district alone. Although thousands of pairs of shoes are leaving the factories daily, ihe output will reach an unprece dented height in the early months •of this year, when many of the con tracts call for delivery. The leather upon which the com fort and. to a great extent, the efll h iency of the nation's lighting men ■depends, is of a high grade and the work of making the shoes is car ried out under strict supervision. Military men apree that next to gun? and food, well-made and comfortable shoes are of the greatest importance in the Army. The Churchill & Alden Company, ■of Brockton, have contracts for 178,000 pairs of marching shoes, ■while other firms have proportion ately larse orders. The M. A. Pack ard Company has orders for 100,000 pairs. Three firms in the Brockton dis trict have contracts to supply a to tal of 150,000 pairs of Navy shoes. What Has Become of Old-Fashioned Sleighing Parties of Other Days? What has become of the old- | fashioned sleighing party? Can it | be that it has become an antiquated ' relic of past joys? Is this institu- j tion of red cheeks and cold noses, l of warm hearts and happy faces, to j be forgotten without a protest? A : plague upon these new-fangled no- j tions. Have you forgotten the night you j defied parental authority simply be- ! cause your Sallie Jones said she j would go with the party? Surely ' you remember how close you sat to I lier. It was to keep warm, you said. But it really wasn't. And your hand j slipped over to clasp hers, and it ■wasn't necessary. She could have kept it warmer without you. But neither of you would believe it. You recall .too, the farm house you stopped at to get warm, and how you drank the farmer's cider, and how Sallie and you counted ap ple seeds. And how about that kiss you stole going home, you haven't forgotten that? What beaming faces: What sparkling eyes! How clear the peals of laughter sounded in the cold. < risp air! There comes to the mind the tribute of an eloquent Amer ican: "Blow, bugler, blow, but know your sweetest strains are dis cords all, compared to childhood's happy laughter." Finally came the homeward ride. The party was more quiet, more sub dued. Above were the silent stars, and now and then you heard the sniff monosyllable of the unromantic driver as he hurried the horses. How you hated that ilriver! Of course you were sleepy, for it was long past bedtime. But you didn't want him to hurry. Shall the custom which has given ns all these precious memories fall before the cruel hand of time? And without a protest? East Furnishes Many Men For Y. M. C. A. Secretaries Figures just received from the Bu reau of Personnel, National War Council of the Y. M. C. A„ shows that the Eastern Military Department furnished 355 of the 720 war work secretaries sent to France recent ly as a result of the November drive lor secretarial recruits.
