PAGE TWO DEFENSE COUNCIL PLAN | OFFICIALS PREDICTING INCLUDES WARTIME AID TO CHILDREN IN STATE : : . | The state council of defense is now planning the opening of a 10-point program to cushion the impact of the war on the 2,400,000 Pennsylvania | children under 15. Executive Director Marts says the first step in meeing war-created child problems will be the appointment of a chairman to carry out a broad pro- gram arranged by the OCD. Loca councils then will be asked to set up children’s committees and assist wiih the plan. One of the first projects of the committees will be establishment of day care centers for chiidren of the monthers working in war industries. Marts said existing agencies have been able, by expanding their facili- ties, to care for thase children need- ing it. He points out, however, that increasing employment of women will force establishment of more child care centers. Funds for such projects have been provided for by the office of de- fense health and welfare services, but none has been allocated to this state. r VIOLATIONS ARE FOUND TN NANTY - GLO MINER'S _EATH BY GAS EXPLOSION | A coroner's jury Friday afternoon found that mining laws had been vi- olated in the death of George Koscho of Nanty-Glo on August 26th. The jury which found that Koscho's dea- | th was due to an explosion of gas in the Heisley No. 3 mine, recommend- | ed that a general assistant mine fore- man be censured for not instructing his assistants to usc more care In working toward a body of gas sealed off by his orders. In another recommendation the jury asked that the orders of an in- spector’s commission be strictly en- | forced by the management. The inquest, conducted in the Uni-| ted- Mine Workers hall by Coroner | Patrick McDermott, required more than five hours. | Laxity in enforcement of mining laws by officials of the mine was dis- closed in a report of a commission of state mine inspectors which was read into the record during the in- quest. As a result of the findings of the jury, officials of the Naaty-Glo local United Mine Workers of America, will ask District Attorney W. Steph- ens Mayer to conduct an investigation | ii nregard to criminal negligence on the part of John Kline, former gener- al assistant mine foreman. Koscho was burned in the explo-| sion and died the following day in the Mercy hospital at Johnstown. | v Samuel Nichols, father-in-law of | the victim, testified that he had been working with Koscho a few seconds before the blast. Nichols said he had left the room when the explosion oc- garred. The witness said that a cut- ting machine was being removed from the room at the time of the blast. He expressed the opinion that a spark from the machine ignited the gas. The report of a state mine inspec- tor’s commission composed of S. S.{ Johns, Johnstown, Dennis Keenan, of Barnesboro, and R. E. George, Altoo- na, disclosed that gas had been found in Rooms 21 and 22 on 17 entry ab- out 18 months ago and that the gen- eral assistant mine foreman had or- dered them sealed. Testimony of the inspectors showed that when Nichols and Koscho made a cut along the rib an opening was made into the sealed area, permitting the gas to escape. Kline admitted he had ordered the reoms sealed, but said he was relieved »f the position of assistant general foreman and was not directly in tcharge of the section when the ox- plosion occurred. TURKEYS TO BE PLENTIFUL AT THANKSGIVING DINNERS he war notwithstanding, Pennsyl- vanians will have turkey on the table for their Thanksgiving dinner. Latest indications, according to J. H. Light of the department of agri-| eulture, place the state's flock at ap- proximately 1,020,000 birds, which is an increase of 10 per cent over last year’s all-time record production. | Light also said indications point to | a more widespread use of the turkey as the ‘‘piece de resistance’ at Christ- mas and New Year feasts since the market intentions are to place 41 per zent of the birds for sale by Novem- ber 26; 44 per cent in December, and 15 per cent early in 1943.

IS THE TIME TO BUY RUBBER FOOTWEAR BUY NOW WHILE ALL SIZES ARE IN STOCK Men's, Boys’, Children’s Ladies’ Rubbers & Artics JOE'S CUT-RATE STORE | | BARNESBORO l CIVILIAN LIFE CHANGES — } Government officials have predict- ed major changes in American civil- | ian lite during the next year, but| there is little indication yet that the | changes will be as drastic as those which have taken place in England. | Whereas American officials still are thinking in terms of ‘‘drastic cur- tailment,” British civilians have had to adjust thtmselves to acute short- ages and complete abandonment of many civilian services. | The pinch of all-out war on the American home front is just starting, officials at Washington say, recalling an Office of War Information asser-| tion last month that “as a nation we are not yet more than ankle deep in the war.” They describe the sweeping almost | revolutionary changes which were forced upon Britain's 49,000,000 peo- ple after the retreat from Dunkirk. Whereas Americans generally look | upon restricted consumption of sugar, gasoline, tires, bicycles, typewriters, and automobiles as unpleasant sacri- | fices, not so in Britain. Real, acute shortages have develop- | ed in nearly every phase of British | civilian life. It has become virtually | impossible to buy many unrationed | | commodities on an open market. Ra- | tioning orders are welcomed. Rationing orders have been issued on meats, fats, bacon, hams, cheese, | tea, preserves, eggs, milk and dozens of other foods. All types of fuel are rationed. British manpower reserves have | been brought under strict government regulation. Two out of every three persons between 14 and 65, men and women alike, are working full time— | buy government compulsion, in many instances—-in war industries, civilian | defense, or the armed forces. { A 100 per cent excess profits tax is in effect. War savings in Britain now total more than $15,000,000,000, or $320 per person. A 50 per cent in-| come tax is withheld from all salaries and wages. Scrap collections are| compulsory. Destruction of waste | paper or cardboard is a criminal of- | fense. Wea ENLISTED MEN NOW ~~ WEAR WINTER DUDS Enlisted men at most army posts, camps and stations in continental United States began wearing winter | uniforms last Thursday, according to} the war depariment. | A new winter field jacket has been | adopted. It has a wind-proof outer | shell made of chemically treated cot- ton cloth and insulated with a thick | wool lining. Collar, wristlets, and the| waistband are made of knited wool | with enough elastic to afford a snug fit. | A new kniteed cap is ready for is- sue, Its shawl can be worn up over the: ears in moderate weather, and turned down in colder temperatures. The olive drab woolen gloves of last | year are changed in style-—the new ones have a leather palm. Before entrance into the war of the United States enlisted men usually received woolen clothing in the fall months and a cotton issue in the| spring. Now they receive both at once | so they are equipped with the proper clothing wherever they may be sent. A soldier receives a mackinaw or an overcoat; he is not issued both. | Mufflers are issued only to men who have specific need for them, depend- | ing upon the climate or their duties.
