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.
The Eastern Department com-!
prises the states of New York. Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia, and the al
most fifty per cent, result was due
to an aggressive campaign by prac
tically every city association in the j
department as well as the war work '
organization.
In the classification, 130 men are
saiu to have come through the reg
ular channels, fourteen were experi
enced men furnished from the camps
but the recruiting drive enlisted 211.
As a part of the aggressive pro
gram for the men in camps and na
val stations, the Eastern Depart
ment has instituted a vigorous thrift
campaign, which will close on Feb
ruary 3. Thrift encouragement
equipment in the form of exhibits,
. charts and lantern slides are being
sent to most of the military points.
Bert C. Pond, of the Army and Navy
Department, will manage this cam
paign for the Eastern Department.
