SERVICE IN SHIPYARD

CHURCH GOES TO THE

WORKERS

Sunday shifts at the Swan Island shipyard couldn't get to churchso shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser brought church to the workers. Inaugurating worship-on-the-job, 11,----000 men and women who grind out tankers on Sunday mornings joined in devotions and still kept tion rolling. It was the first ,of regular Sunday sermons to "be he'd at what holds itself to be the nation's top tanker-prod.ucing yard. A public address, system carried the service and the sermon to eight huge shipways. Workers clambered from hulls .and dropped welding torches to listen to religious rites they hadn't heard, j since the war pushed them into j working Sundays. i

Religion in the shipyard doesn't cost a second of production time. Services run from 11.30 to 12, the period during which work normally halts for lunch. A idifferent minister, appointed by the Portland Council of Churches, will preach each Sunday.

. Mean smokers ? Yes, we've all met them, though (fortunately) . they'i-e in the- minority. There's the chap that begs a fill, takes a generous one, .and then (absent-mindedly) slips your pouch into his pocket. There's the joker who finds he has left his purse on the piano or something and borrows a bob to buy baccy with. You can kiss that bob good-bye. Youll never see it again. The cadger will smoke any sort, but prefers National' Tobacco Co.'s goods. Shows his good taste. This tobacco is the purest and freest of nicotine of any. Unequalled for flavour and bouquet, too. This is largely because it is toasted, in which respect it differs from all other tobaccos! It is in fact unique. There are various brands. ThiQse most asked for are: Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition (mild and delicious afomatics); Cavr endish (sporting mixture); Navy Cut No. 3 (a delightful blend of choice leaf); and Cut Piug No. 10 (a fine, ricli, dark, full-flavoured sort the old smoker will especially appreciate). Remember all are toasted, therefore safe; no 'bits, no after-effects.*
