...young man with ideas, energy, and ambition. A forestry graduate, technically trained, with experience in industry, office work, selling, well acquainted with hard work, I am 29, married, have two small boys. Recently re-leased from the technical department of a rayon pulp mill closed due to the effect of the Japanese-Chinese war on pulp production, I am ready and able to go anywhere that opportunity shows itself. My special interest: the problem of waste in industry...
...sloppy a statute as ever was slapped together by a closing Congress. Since the Fair Labor Standards Act went into effect on October 24, its botched provisions had turned out to be among those with the widest effects. U.

He knows now. Three years of watching Hacker in the blocking slot have shown...
...program reached its climax with full orchestra and chorus producing Hindemith's Martinslied which is all about a barnyard and the animals in it. Woody brought out its harshness with strength and vigor, but the powerful effect was gained mainly by the rhythm. The noise was marvelous. Following and in contrast to Hindemith was the chorus from A Midsummer Night's Dream by Mendelssohn which was conducted by Malcolm Holmes. Elinor Baker, one of the soloists, was the high point in this piece and she sang very well also. Two choruses from secular cantatas by Bach brought the evening...
