< Kmpley W MM Trades ; The construction of a Liberty ship calls into action the services of 30 skilled and special trades, the National Council of American Shipbuilders says. Included in the trades are such classifications as angle-furnaceman, bitumastic applier, chipper, galvanizer, Joggler, layer-out, loftsman, puncher, scarpher, and roller. In addition, many trades commonly known are also required. Among these are welders, carpenters, plumbers, pattern makers, molders,-Join-ers, draftsmen, coppersmiths, cabinet makers, blacksmiths and boilermakers.

A very high percentage of the expanding shipyard payrolls represent men and women who had no trade knowledge and experience a few years ago. The privately .owned Shipyards have trained and educated a great army of skilled workers and have so co-ordinated their efforts that the industry has broken record after record for deadweight tonnage of merchant ships produced and put into essential service.

Ancients Used Cork The elder Pliny in the First century A. D. wrote about cork in his I famous “Naturalia Htotoria." Pliny states that cork was “used for swimming, ship anchors, fish nets, as stoppers for Jugs and winter shoes for women.** Virgil and Horace in their classic writings refer to cork, the former to its use on the roofs of houses and the latter to its use for sealing wine vases. Early monasteries were provided with cork lined ■walls and ceilings to protect the monks from the intense heat of the summer sun. Peasant natives in the cork producing areas for centuries used cork slabs for roofs of their houses and to provide soft floors that ■were warm to the touch. In later times, cork was mixed with earth and used to form the walls of buildings.

Trouble-Shooters Aid Navy ' A detachment of civilian “trouble shooters” on duty with the navy daily is getting new ships into war service and restoring older ships I speedily and expertly. Recently, an expert on main drive gear equipment flew from Pittsburgh to Houston, Texas, approximately 1,500 air miles, to repair a submarine chaser. The chaser was restored to service in a few days. Under usual procedure, it would have been necessary to disassemble the equipment and take it ashore for repair—a task which would have taken the craft out of service for a month. Hops to Hawaii, Alaska and South ■merica are common occurrences.

It may be that this equipment never will be used during the entire course of the war, but it must be paid for out of the War Bonds and Stamps that we are setting aside each payday, p. g. y rMMa Bicycle Makes Comeback As Conveyance—in Army The bicycle is coming back into its own tn the greatest mechanized army in the world. In its drive to conserve rubber and gasoline without sacrificing necessary speed, the army has discovered that the bike is a wise compromise between gasoline and shank’s mare for short trips around army reservations. In the Sixth Service command the handle-bar cavalry, as the boys call the scorchers of our grandfather’s generation, increases every day as the army plugs more and more leaks in the official gas tanks, thereby cutting down the rubber usage to a minimum. “Not only do they save rubber and gas,’’ explained Lieut. Raymond Notz, in charge of the Sixth Service command garage in Chicago, “but any one can handle them. As in civilian life, an army chauffeur must pass a rigid test to drive an automobile. All the soldier does with a bike—is hop aboard and away he goes. With the gassing, oiling, tests and rechecking, a lot of man hours are necessarily lost by army chauffeurs. The bike presents no problem at all.’’

SOMETIMES-ON SOME CALLS-THE LONG DISTANCE OPERATOR WILL SAY—’

’Please limit your call to 5 minutes. Others are waiting"

MaNY Long Distance calls go through about as fast as ever. - However, at times there’s an extra-heavy rush on certain circuits—especially those cross-country lines to busy war centers. Whenever that happens, the operator will ask you to limit your Distance calls to 5 minutes. As new lines can’t be built because of wartime restrictions, the idea is to help clear the way for vital calls of the government, the armed services, and war industries. tttane m<l wm tueny day INDIANA BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
