SAN FRANCISCO was the first big city I. ever saw. Young and interested in everything, I stopped.one day to look at a big piece of plate glass being installed in a storefront. ■ It was. the lunch hour and the workmen were not busy. As they ate they drank milk from bottles. When the bottles were empty, they broke them. The incident gave me a distinct shock, and I never forgot it. Back in Oklahoma, 60 miles from a railroad where I had learned to walk as well as to plow, every manufactured thing was deemed to have value. My mother literally hoarded bottles for many useful purposes. A milk bottle would have been prized in her collection. My curiosity won a battle with bashfulness and I asked -the workmen why they broke the bottles, and they told me. Loyalty ‘YOU SEE, .buddy,” at Work the foreman explained, “we work in glass. So do the working men who make the bottles. The more bottles we break the more work they will have.” Later I learned that this was a tradition of the industry, supposedly based on fellowship and loyalty to Labor. At first I was confused loyalty to Labor seemed quite right to me, destructiveness entirely wrong. Just recently, Edward T. Cheyfitz, a member of the National Reconversion Committee of the CJ.O., touched on the subject in as clear and sound an economic treatise as I ever read. It ap-

Gladys Swarthout To Be Symphony Guest Feb. 22 Fabien Sevitzky, conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, has announced the program for the concert featuring Gladys Swarthout, leading mezzosoprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, on Feb. ’ 22, in Cadle Tabernacle at 8 p. m. Miss Swarthout will sing two of the best-known arias from Bizet’s “Carmen”: “Habanera” and “Chanson Boheme.” Her favorite operatic role is in which she has starred many times breaking all-time attendance records at the Hollywood Bowl, Cincinnati Zoo Opera, and Soldiers’ Field in Chicago. Other selections by Miss Swarthout are “Ah Love But a Day” by Beach, and a

manding the Ist Troop Carrier Command, will present the band to the audience. Fifty WACs from Stout Field will form an usher corps when the doors are opened at 7:45 p. m. The 8:30 p. m. hour was chosen for the start of the concert in order to give war plant workers who must shop Monday evening an opportunity to hear the program, according to William H. Trimble, Marion County war finance committee chairman. The band is touring Army Air Forces installations while an American band and orchestra, on exchange basis arranged through Gen. H. H. Arnold, commanding the Army Air Forces, is playing a similar tour in England. The British musicians have played and are scheduled to play in only 27 cities in the United States

Serving Labor By GEORGE S.BENSON Resident of Harding College Searcy. Arkansas

peared in the December issue of Fortune. He called bottle-break-ing a waste of labor and raw material, typical of an old fashioned and wrong attitude toward jobs and wages. This big labor leader said: Produce “WE MUST educate Wealth union membership, to * • • practice high productivity. Certainly labor can not increase its own share of goods by producing less.” He contends that labor and management must find a common ground if our nation, as now constituted, is to survive. He said the survival of labor unions depends on the same thing. He is 100% right. History backs him up. Righ K’ iction has always helped . In 1899 the average factory employee toiled 60 hours a week and earned only $420 a year because what he produced would sell for about $1,030. In 1939 the average factory worker put in only 38 hours a week, turned out $3,140 worth of merchandise and earned $1,150 a year. Good tools made the difference. With better equipment, the worker produces three times as much and therefore earns three times as much. The formula is still good. Greater and more efficient production will make many jobs at good .pay in the post-war years. Better equipment can be provided wherever employers and employees see eye-to-eye. Mr. Cheyfitz points to the only hope in sight for labor or capital either.

group of folk songs originating in Kentucky and North Carolina —“The Nightingale,” “I Wonder As I Wander” and “O That It Were So.” Orchestral selections directed by Mr. Sevitzky will be Symphony No. 4 in F Minor by Tchaikovsky, Liszt’s “Les Preludes,” the Sevitzky arrangement of Kreisler’s “Praeludium and Allegro” and “Woods At Dusk” by Britain. A versatile artist, Miss Swarthout is equally at home in radio, concerts or motion pictures. Because she is so photogenic she has starred in several movies of which the most recent one is “Ambush.” She has appeared as guest star on all of the major musical programs of the air and has been star on the “Prudential Family Hour," "Voice of Firestone,” “Pause That Refreshes” and the “Telephone Hour.” The popular and talented mez-zo-soprano was born in Deepwater, Mo., and spent most of her early years in Kansas City. When she was only 13, she applied for the post of contralto soloist in a Kansas City church—announcing that she was 20—and got the job. She later studied at the Bush Conservatory in Chicago, making her debut with the Chicago Opera Company in 1925. Her debut at the Met took place in 1929 when she sang the part of La Cieca in "La Giaconda.” Tickets are now available at the orchestra’s box offices in the Murat Theater and the record department of H. P. Wasson and Co.

Howard A. Stevens of Scott Field, 111., was the guest of Miss Betty Joan Nay over the weekend.
