Class Begun
Otfers Free Training
For Jobs In Industry
Designed to train local men for
jobs in munitions factories and other
war production plants, a new de-
fense course has been started in the
Goss school house, it was announc-
ed this week by Prof. Raymond
E. Kuhnert, supervising principal of
Dallas Township schools.
Instructed by Henry Steinkirch-
has been in the employ of the Haz-
ard Wire Rope Company for many
years, the defense course offers
training in lathe, drill press, forging,
i acetylene and electric welding and
several other metal-working opera-
tions. 4
There are no tuition fees, and any
man 17 years of age or over and
not now in school is eligible to
apply for the training. The class is
open to men throughout this area
and meets every week, Monday
through Thursday, beginning at 6:30
in the evening. Anyone interested
in taking the course is urged to ap-
ply immediately. Unless the en-
rollment is considerably increased
within the next two weeks, the class
will be discontinued.
This is the third defense course to
be sponsored by the Dallas Township
school district. Near'y all of the 45
graduates of the other two classes
have found employment in defense
or other industries.
Penn State Student
Teacher It Township
William Kiel of Plains township,
a senior in agriculture at Penn State
College, is now practice teaching at
Dallas Township High School under
the supervision of Gerald ' Snyder,
agricultural instructor.
Mr. Kiel has become very popular
among the students at the township
school and, according to Mr. Snyder,
has the makings of an outstanding
educator. in farm subjects. But it
looks as if his teaching career will
have to wait until after the war,
because he is scheduled to enter the
Army this summer. An R. O. T. C.
student at Penn State, he now has a
reserve commission in the Quarter-
master Corps.
Mr. Kiel will finish out the school
year at Dallas township and will re-
main here for the first few weeks
of June, inspecting Future Farmers
of America projects and continuing
his education under Mr. Snyder.

articles on rationing and the effect
it has on various people. That lady
up Towanda-way, for instance, who
found she had donated a pint of
blood for the soldiers and sailors
when she had planned to sign up
for a sugar-card.
Or that man down in Jersey who
owned to having an embarrassing
amount of sugar which he had
| bought for speculation long before
sugar-rationing was contemplated,
rand who was in a quandary as to
its disposal. On a conservative es-
timate, he has enough sugar on
hand to last him and his immediate
family and some of his closer blood-
relatives well into the next century.
All the family will have to do is to
keep a tight roof over the stor-
house in case of torrential rains.
Otherwise the country-side might
dissolve in sweetness like East Bos-
ton did on that historic occasion
when the molasses tank exploded.
The molasses tank was close by the
elevated structure, and when the
tank let go, the elevated structure
got it. For weeks sticky workmen
scraped the trestles, and the flies
had a Roman holiday. People on
their way to work through the dis-
trict squished threcugh the adhesive
pools of molasses in rubber boots.
| That molasses was no worse than
| the mud in the lower part of Texas.
| That brand of gumbo is plenty
I sticky when it goes on, but after it
| begins to dry it becomes an inte-
| gral part of the boot. Hit a boot
"a good lick to knock of the mud,
and there goes the heel.
My father’s orderly was cleaning
the Major's boots one day, and the
Major sympathized with his strug-
gles, “That mud certainly is adhes-
ive, isn’t it?”
Clough looked up with a shy grin
and said, “Yes sir, the Major is
right. And it’s sticky, too.”
When your car is overtaken by
a sudden deluge somewhere off the
main concrete road in that part of
Texas, there is nothing to do but
abandon it and slog along on foot.
The car sinks down to thé axles and
has to be dug out with a pickaxe
when the weather clears.
On one such occasion, coming
home from the beach on the Gulf
and taking a short-cut to save time,
an officer got stuck. He had with
him in the car his seven-year-old
daughter, a worthy child but lacking
tact and sense of timing. As the car
settled deeper and deeper into the
gumbo and the rain continued to

“Is anything the matter, Papa
dear?” I understand that it took
all of the inhibitions of civilization
to prevent Fapa-dear from hitting
his daughter over the head with the
shovel,
The officer’s dear little daughter
naturally brings up the subject of
Texas kids. And I don’t mean
human kids, I mean the offspring
of Papa and Mamma goats. The
goats around Brownsville, raised en-
tirely on cactus, are apt to be tough
and heavy eating, but the kids are
highly edible.
The cabrita—baby goat to you—
comes already defunct and nicely
skinned, in a paper bag. If you can
get it out of the bag and into the
roasting-pan, and the roasting-pan
into the oven without looking at the
kid, all is well. But if you take one
peek into the bag you are sunk.
The poor little corpse resembles a
skinny baby, its head lopped dis-
mally to one side, its blue eyes gaz-
ing sightlessly at you, its legs
folded neatly beneath its bulging
stomach. It is enough to turn any-
body’s stomach, bulging or other-
wise.
Well, here we are at the end of
the space, and the experimental
column has certainly covered terri-
tory. It started off by taking a
quick-trip through the oil-fields, and
ended up Deep in the Heart of
Texas, its head impaled on a cactus-
plant instead of mashed against a
stone-wall.

Kelly was a member. This 17-year-
old youth, fifth oldest in a family
of 12 and son of Mr. and Mrs. Mar-
cus Ide of Mill street, has taken the
commercial course in high school,
and hopes some day to go on into
business college. For the nonce,
however, he plans to take up the
machinist trade, and to this end has
accepted a job in an airplane fac-
tory in Buffalo, N. Y., where he will
begin his apprenticeship soon after
school is out in June.

WH
Let us take a look at a class of
stores, with which New York
abounds, famed not for the great
variety of their merchandise in
many different lines, but rather be-
cause they specialize along particu-
lar lines, offering the finest type of
merchandise at prices not to be
classed as cheap. We recognize that
sometimes a better and higher
priced article
may in the end
be more eco-
nomical. It often
depends on how
long one is going
to use an article
as to whether it
is a good buy.
The ladies know
more about that
{i than does any
mere man. I do
know that visi-
tors we have
contacted these
last three years
love to browse around these fine
specialty shops and usually go back
home with one or more purchases
they have made in them.
There is one thing that can be
said about these shops—they do
have, at times, real marked-down
bargains, This is a custom con-
tinued from the past, when all
stores, great and small, used to
have inventory sales. In the old
days merchants had to stock up in
advance of any season and they
were bound to have goods unsold
which they moved at a loss rather
than carry them over to another
season. In some instances, like
wearing apparel, it was not feasible
to carry stock over—styles would
change. -But an important change
has come over merchandising
methods, especially in our large es-
tablishments, like department
stores. The change became notice-
able after World War #1. In 1920
and 1921 we had a post war de-
pression. It has since come to be
called the “Inventory Depression”.
So many businessmen in all lines
got caught “long” with high priced
inventories that a change came over
purchasing methods. Manufacturers
found that they would have to be
able to offer deliveries of goods on
short notice if they were to get
merchants to handle their lines. So
our great stores do not stock up
months in advance. There is no
need for “clearance sales”. Today,
it is often the practice to run manu-
facturer’s sales, whether they are
called that or not. A manufacturer
will go %0 a merchant who can
handle a big volume at a price and
make a reduced price offer for a
certain volume. The merchant puts
on a sale, possibly narrowing his
own margin of mark-up, so that the
Zi

public is offered. a real bargain.
But the fine specialty shops can-
not do this; so they have to stick
to the old method of clearance
sales. That is why genuine bargains
in quality goods can be found in
these shops; and why the ladies
get such a kick out of hunting
around in the shops where prices
are usually more than they care to
pay. It becomes a great adventure.
And, of course, to go through these
fine shops is a thrill in itself.
They too are museums of living
today.
Where are these fine specially
shops to be found? They are not as
localized as are the great mer-
chandising establishments. But they
are to be found Na certain well de-
fined areas for the most part—
Fifth Avenue from 48th to 59th
streets, which includes Rockefeller
Center; 57th street east and west of
Fifth Avenue; Madison Avenue, one
block east of Fifth, all the way
from 42nd street up to the eighties;
and all the side streets between
Fifth and Madison from 34th to
59th street. There are hundreds of
them, offering every conceivable
class of merchandise. In these
shops you will find goods of super-
lative quality. The prices are not
cheap, but all these merchants
know the value of having some
“real buys” to attract the shopper.
And they don’t always advertise
them. That little feeling of expec-
tancy on the part of the shopper
that makes her not want to pass a
shop by is a real asset to a mer
chant. :
You would be surprised to see the
mailing lists of out-of-town custom-
ers these shops have. They nearly
all do a large business by mail,
often greater than their store trade.
There is a very definite appeal in
getting an advance notice of marked
down offerings from some shop you
know carries class merchandise and
whose representations one has con-
fidence in. Even New Yorkers suc-
cumb to this appeal. Many of these
shops mail notices to distant cus-
tomers well in advance of their local
customers. Competition here is se-
vere. So you get treated well,
So, on your next trip away from.
home, come to New York. As the
war progresses and more and more
priorities are imposed we are all
going to find that shortages in this
or that will prevent us from get-
ting just what we would like in any
line. This no one will be able to
avoid. However, this column .will
always be glad to answer your
inquiries.
