Everu, W. TIME IS SHOBT Over the doors in the treasury building at Washington, where plans and policirff for war-bond selling are determined, are large signs: "Time Is Short" This urgent message to every government worker, from the highest executive to the humblest stenographer, is constantly before them to remind them ever of the precious value of every minute of every working hour, to the end that the war may be shortened, and the lives of our boysunay-be spared, Aa the days of 1342 pass one by one and the sands run low in the great hour-glass of our destiny, we can feel the pressure of time more and more. Tiat second front in Europe has not yet been opened. Time is short" American production has not yet been brought up to peak. "Kme is 1 Our merchant and naval shipping has not been increased enough to meet the vital need.

"Erne is Nazis have not yet been stopped "Time is short." India's teeming millions have not yet been reconciled to a war role with Great JJritain, "Time is short' Our Congress has not yet legislated anti-inflation measures. "Time is short" The law-makers have not yet enacted an adequate tax law or compulsory savings or non-voluntary bond-buying. Time is short" Fitchburg feds the tense urgency the appeal for haste this week, for we are confronted with the challenge of doing our part in a campaign of war-bond selling which has been approved by the treasury department policy-makers in Washington. Fair-haired, blue-eyed Constance Bennett, darling of millions of moviegoers, will come to Fitchburg Saturday morning as the delightful embodiment of an idea and an ideal. At Upper Common she will appear and promote the sale of bonds.

Her five-feet-four, 110 pounds of loveliness will represent the beauty of the ideal in back of all our war effort For out of the ugliness of battle and strife, of confusion and sweat and tears emerges the brilliant beauty of the ideal of making this world forever tyrant-proof, of guaranteeing freedom to all who have earned it and want it. In laying, then, our bonds at the feet of Constance Bennett, as it were, we are symbolizing our devotion to the ideal in Tack of our supreme war effort Now, Fitchburg did not choose Miss Bennett, but it could not have chosen better. We did not choose the time. Such things must be arranged by higher-ups to fit in with a nation-wide pattern. But that time has been set, and we must lay our gift of bonds--in the form of sales reported--at the feet of our war ideal Saturday morning.

"Time is short" We must be able to report on Saturday morning a total sales of $500,000 war bonds in Fitchburg for this month. This is the gift we are to make. Time is short." Yet it is no gift. We are merely asked to loan money to the government at an excellent rate of interest We are asked merely to giv financial support to the W3T which our boys are supporting with their bodies and their lives. Time is ahort" We must, all of us, make our way tomorrow, or Friday to the banks, postoffice or other authorized sales agency and purchase as many bonds as we can.

Every sale will be counted toward our quota of half a million. Time is short" We must take our war stamps and convert tnenv Into bonds. We must, if we are in arrears in our pledges to purchase bonds, make up the difference" before "Saturday. If the need be, we must beg or borrow the money so that the count may be in before Saturday. Time short" The time has been set The quota has been designated by U.

Such hospitality dupented there is the hospitality of great nation. Therefore, it is impowihle to dio- rov adjoatiaf lite in the White House one would adjust life -in one's own home." Now all this a obvious. It is as plain the moustache on face. But the quarrel comes when President Roosevelt assumes that no one else in the country should be entitled to a menage that costs more than $25,000 a year. This, we submit once more, is a presumptuous attitude.

No one in right tenses would attempt to detract from the importance, the dignity, the responsibility of -the office of presidency. Any sum within reason would be gladly voted by the American people for the upkeep of the. White House and its large menage. But there are other important households in America-- eminent educators, industrialists, managers, state and local government officials, labor leaden, writers, poets, painters, merchants. Their homes reflect in some measure their values to society in general.

There are, one knows, many social values, and many standards of measurement, besides the political or governmental Financial rewards vary tremendously. A great poet, the benefactor of all mankind, may die hi poverty, while an enemy of society may be buried in a $10,000 coffin. Yet, by and large, there are in every walk of life leaders whose homes become centers, and rightly so. They become the focal point of great movements, the scene of immortal conversation, of wise, planning, of inspired gatherings. Who shall say, even a president of the United States, that a politico- governmental leader shall be entitled to a menage costing more than $25,000 a year but that leaders in other fields of life, literature, art, exploration, science, industry, business, shall not be allowed a amount? Here and There When the key collection gets underway as a part of the great scrap movement, we shall have 140 keys to contribute.

This is set forth as showing an interest in the plan, and also to prove that nothing here following is anything like a knock. Of these 140 keys, just 40 are of brass or nickel; the other hundred are of iron or steel. Many of the keys are of ancient vintage, when brass was quite commonly used for the purpose. It is likely, then, that the proportion of brass keys in this lot of 140 will quite closely follow that of the general collection. At the best, keys are light things.

The 40 brass unlockers weigh just a pound, and the. 100 of iron and steel run to one pound and 14 ounces. Allowing that 40 keys on the average will be required to make a pound, for the pounds the national paper merchants hope to collect, folks the country over will have to turn up 480,000,000 keys of one sort or another during the drive. Skipping the babes in arms, that means about four keys for every man, woman and child in the U. S.

and its territories! And if naif of them are of trass or nickel, so much the better. To make certain of the lot that we assembled, each one was tested by a rather powerful magnet While in the collecting mood, we found a lot of keys of another sort, but of solid brass. They were once attached to an old organ, being, according to the length and other features, the dingbats that made the music when air flowed through them. However, they seem to fit the general description of a key, and in the lot goes, good for two and a half pounds more. The bird book says the season for robins in Massachusetts runs from April to October, which means that the period of heavy migration southward should now be in full tide, but it can't be proven from this point of observation.

In other years, the home garden in mid-September has seen them in great numbers, as many as a hundred at a time feeding on numerous trees bearing berries of one kind and another. Since three great wild back cherry trees went out with the September wind four years ago, the red-breasted bird-that is really a thrush and not a robin at all--has not been so numerous in the family garden late in the But even sp, there had been always enough of strip three large and heavily laden mountain ash trees. The present interest in the robin migration comes from the fact that the mountain ash crop this year is the heaviest of all time. Literally bushels hang on each tree, bending many branches seemingly to the danger point Just how long the berries will cling before 'falling naturally we know not," but unless the robins do come, we hope it will be before the first snowfall. A sticky snow storm would spell ruin to branches only half as heavily laden as now.

Without sugar, jelly cannot be made, and that's why the flowering crab trees in the garden are being shaken violently from time to time. But the little apples cling powerfully, and ft may that, even if Among Aaaa there is no market for them, hand) picking will be the final answer. I What a snowfall of a few inches! would do to trees of that kind is nothing to make one cheerful The man who helped pick the fruit from the larger of two crab trees last fall recalled yesterday that the total crop was seven bushel-boxes! And every apple meant, in the spring- tune, a glorious' soft-red blossom! A War Labor Board panel has taken a big step, one way or the other, by ordering a closed shop clause incorporated in the contract between 8 stationery manuacturer and' a CIO union, average memories Persons with can remember when President Roosevelt gave public assurance that the government would not use its powers to force a closed shop clause into a contract That was only last fall, in the "captive mines" case. Now a WLB panel has taken the logical next step in. the consistent course the board has pursued from the beginning.

There may be little practical difference between ordering a closed shop and ordering a "maintenance of membership" clause. But even the pretense has been dropped. Violation of rationing rules and regulations, it develops, is not so a matter as eastern motorists had supposed. Apparently somebody in the Office of Price Administration made a mistake. Gasoline ration books warn their owners that violators are liable to 10 years imprisonment, a $10,000 fine, or both.

There's a lot of difference between one year and 10. Still, 12 months is a long time in the pen for the privilege of chiseling in wartime.

The reason for tb" is simple: Sherman Billingsley, the owner, leases his hat check room to a concessionaire for $27,000. He pays $12,000 rent. This leaves a net of $15,000, but then, as he explains, "this is eaten up by the bad checks that we cash during the year." "Also we lose about a thousand a month in breakage, I used to have pretty little ash trays with storks on them because, twhen people were photographed in here, they looked wefl hi pictures--it was a good ad.

On Sunday or holiday evenings guests would see a score of balloons attached to the ceilings. In some of their balloons would be $100 bank notes. At a given signal during the evening these balloons would be loosed upon a squealing, scrambling clientele.

Billingsley has given away as many as 12 $100 notes in, a single evening. Since the war, the prizes are war bonds, not money.

A man traded with biro; a Catholic priest turned some rags; a woman invited him in; a truck-driver picked him up and unceremoniously turned him out; a blind man happened by with a cloak at just the proper moment. Obviously, Anna Seghers, who wrote "The Seventh Cross" and was lucky enough to hare it chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club for October, is writing another story of escape and danger. If her book were only material for an exciting movie, would not matter, but it is more. Its value lies in the way in which has shown a large community i reacting to a stimulus of which it is 1 bitterly afraid. Such a strain produces both quiet heroism and slimy treachery-- the useful fact is that as the author has written the story, it does produce right before your eyes.

She asks a good deal of her reader at times. There are too many people in the book, and she has not always troubled to join up the action tightly. But this is the last sentence of the book, spoken in the prison: "All of us felt how ruthlessly and fearfully outward powers could strike to the very core of man, but at the same time we felt that at the very core there was something that was unassailable and inviolable." This you believe when you have finished "The Seventh Cross." Stale air is said to be actually injurious. Yet the kid next door goes right on practicing it.

"I don't want fighters or drunks," Billingsley says. "They annoy the real customers who behave themselves. They drive the decent people away." The Stork proper goes much beyond the simple opening at No. 3 East 53 street It includes the cocktail bar, the main dining room, where most of the hilarity and the balloon chasine take place.

To satisfy the ladies the portraits of these artists adorn the walls of the ladies' rest room. The other is the "Blessed Event Room" whose walls are entirely mirrored. These mirrors are to be replaced soon. "Poker players who like a little party up here object to the mirrors. Everybody can see what you've got in ypur hand," explains Billingsley.

Finally, there is a checkered tableclothed room ornamented with bottles of costly wines and brandies. This room is for private steak and chop parties. Hundred-year-old brandy costs $3 a drink. Forty-year-old brandy costs $2. Billingsley open any bottle, however rare and old, for a price.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23 With the back-to-school movement in full swing, U. S.

Office of Education officials are up to their pedagogic chins in a teacher shortage situation that threatens to outstrip the crisis of 1917-18. In those years, 125,000 inexperienced teachers were rushed into the breach, but the ranks still were 50,000 short of requirements. Dr. Benjamin W. Frazier, USOE specialists in teacher training, says that the educational crisis ahead is even worse than that In May, 1941, the shortage of vocational agriculture teachers was already developing.

Now all 48 states are reporting serious shortages in that branch of instruction. Even before faculties checked in for the present fall term, 28 states had reported shortages in teachers of industrial arts and trades. The most serious situation apparently exists in high school special and vocational subjects and in rural elementary schools. Florida reports thai elementary schools in 13 counties, high schools in 19, will be short of teachers before January. Kentucky says approximately 4000 teachers, or 20 per cent, will not return this fall.

South Carolina has lost more than 50 per cent of its vocational agriculture teachers. Those are just samples of what is going on. They do not however, indicate the dilemma faced tiy many war industry communties that have mushroomed without even adequate school building facilities, much less a teacher reserve. The causes, of course, are the heavy demands of the armed forces and the heavy drawing power of bigger salaries in war industries. The Office of Education wasn't caught napping when the states began to scream for help.

The Office's wartime commission committee on teacher supply and demand had been studying the situation for a long time. They can't pull qualified teachers out of thin air, but they are making a lot of suggestions that help. In the first place, they say, get; salaries up to where they compete, with those in the war industries. In the second place, give those teachers retired because of marriage a break. Other suggestions already put into practice in many forward-looking states are: recall retired instructors still mentally and physically competent; drop the bars against "out-of- state" teachers; issue emergency certificates "good for the duration" (29 states already have done and offer refresher courses for former teachers who are willing to help the war effort by returning to their desks.

Little Switzerland has ample cause for her anxiety over the large and increasing number of refugees who are begging admission at her frontiers, for has been created a problem which Justice Minister Von Steiger warns is endangering the security of the nation. Apart from the economic strain on the country's limited resources, and the risk of acquiring undesirables, her nentrality might easily be placed in jeopardy. That neutrality is one of Switzerland's greatest treasures, since the independence which she has safeguarded for six and a half centuries is involved. She has no reason to fear the Allies, but a successful German invasion would mean bondage. As a matter of fact the Swiss success in maintaining their neutrality is one of the phenomena of the war.

Their towering mountains afford them much protection against assault but because they stand in the heart of trouble those same peaks are exposed to international political blasts from all directions. There are several reasons why the Swiss have been able thus far to keep out of the conflict, and one of them is that the government has kept a shrewd and level head under exceptionally trying conditions. However, there's a lot more to it than that For one thing the Axis powers, and the Allies for that matter, find that Switzerland's neutrality provides them with an excellent listening-post. This Alpine republic is one of the world's best radio sets, for into it pours information from the four corners of the earth. The country is full of the agents of both sides in the war.

German secret service men rub elbows with agents from Allied countries, and each spies on the other fellow. Travelers from many countries drift in and out, and-leave behind them a trail of information. Of course, it's not surprising that there should be secret agents in Switzerland, for they're everywhere these days. Our own country is full of them, as has been amply demonstrated by our very alert F. B.

I. Then Switzerland provides a useful medium through which the Axis can make the money transactions necessary to provide funds for their workers abroad. German money unacceptable abroad, but money is good the world over, and this can be secured by the Aids by creating a trade in their favor. Such transactions naturally are normal and in accord with aeu- trahty. Switzerland also provides a grand general post office for aH Undoubtedly Germany and her satellites receive not only information but money and other valuables in the mails.

Also, all hands are happy to have the International Red Cross in Switzerland. However, I should say that Swiss security from attack by Hitler rests largely in the fact that Germany and Italy must access to the Simplon and St. Gbthard railroads which pass through three of the world's largest tunnels--the Lotseh- berg, Simplon and Gothard--and are the chief highways between the Mediterranean and northerp Europe. Charles Forte, Jr, Associated Press correspondent, some time ago reported from Switzerland that streams of German, Dutch, Belgian, French, Czech and Polish cars, all 5 in the service 'of the Axis, were passing southward into Italy with coal and iron, and on returning" were bringing some bauxite (aluminum ore) which had been shipped from Yugoslavia to Trieste, and fruits and vegetables from Italy. Now these tunnels have been heavily mined by the Swiss and un- doubtedly would be blown up should Germany make an attack on Switzer- land.

It would take years to make "Ty the tunnels serviceable again. So there you have the primary reason why the Axis powers haven't mon- keyed with Swiss neutrality--they can't get along without those tun- nels.
