General liheck-up 0f labor Situation

By ROSETTE IIABGROVE NBA Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dec 1'1 -— llmgland is ready tc rope its “splVS." "drones" "eels" and “butterflies" and try to put them to work.

Beginning Dec. 13 all these rack- lteers and ldiers will be subject to s general work call-up ordered by

the Ministry of Labor, and will '

have to register at local Labor 1:. ‘ .Registration takes in

' MCIIIOIY.

all men from l8 to b1, snd all women l8 to 41 except married women living with their husbands snd married women with children under i5 living with them.

It's not only the spivs who ma; find that the soft life is lust n. Peers and baronets, wealthy men and women, anybody who isn't. doing useful work may be ordered to pitch in and help with Britain's reconstruction. Stud- ents and apprentices will not be directed into Jobs. But they must register as a safeguard against eva- sion.

This work call-up ls the mod drastic step yet taken by the La- bor government. One Conserva- tive member of Commons has called it s. further step toward “chatteiod slavery." But since the first shock that followed the or- ders announcement, there has been little public reaction to com- pulsory registration.

A Labor Ministry official sum- med up the government's attitude when he said to me, "Anybody who eats should work." Most. of the public seems to share that view.

Among the non-essential work- ers affected by the new order are bookmakers, persons engaged in pari-mutuel betting operations, proprietors and empioyes of foot- ball pools and every other gamb- ling activity. Amusement arcades and carnivals are classed as non- essential. Dsnco hails and night clubs may ultimately be included.

Whether the government will be able to catch the spivs and drones is another matter. There is an estimated million of them in the country. Not all of them are black market operators, but all of them are certainly living by their wits,

, outside the law.

I talked with one spiv, whom I met through a waitress ln a Fleet Street restaurant. His name was Charlie, and if all other splva share his attitude the government may be in for a hard time.

Charlie boasted that, in his sol

years, he had never done “a. hon- icst day's work." He refused to tell ime what he did for a. living, or how the black market operates.

"Nah, iidy,"' he said, "if I was to tel} you all abaht that, thatkl be blowin' the gaff. and before I knew if. I'd be "inside!"

"Inside" is prison, and Charlie admitted that he had been there many times, but that he had kept out nearly l2 months now. He also confided that in the past he‘d done a little of everything. l-Ic has been s fence, a. dope peddler and a chiseier of every description. He has sold false identity cards and ration books.

Charlie was contemptuous of the call-up. "They'll never catch us," he sold. "I've never been near a Labor Exchange and I dodged the draft all through the war, see. The great thing is to steer clear of the lcossers (police), not carry a chiv (razor) and keep your trap shut."

The government doesn't seem too hopeful about catching all of these unwhoiesome characters. "Spits and racketecrs have always exist- ed," the labor Ministry official said. "They are part of any civi- lization. Shortages make their operations easier, but the govem- ment is decided to make a bid to- ward cleaning them up and re- stricting their Activities."

He admitted that the direction of labor may work hardships on the British people who already have borne so much. "It is tough on them to have to make up our financial and material losses," he said, "but only in this way can we hope to survive. We are decided in this country to cut our coat ac- cording to the cloth."

Actually, he pointed out the man or woman who wants to change Jobs will have a reasonably wide choice in the “essentlui" in- dustries. Labor Exchange inter- viewers have been instructed to ueo the greatest tact and under- standing in each case. The gov- ernment wants nothing autocratic about the whole thing.

While the Minister of labor hsa powe’r to “direct" any citizen who retirees to do essential work, the citizen in turn has the right to ep- pesl. But infringement of the or- der carries s maximum fine of 100 pounds or three months in prison, or both. The splva may hove to move pretty fast to keep on the “outside?

AUSTRALIAN COOKS MAKE CHICKEN AND CORN DISH

Although Australia has no typi- cal national dish, neither has she as yet developed s distinctive nu- tionsl or even regional style of cookery. yet her natural resources in foodstuffs are so diverse owing to the vastness of her land snd the varied nature of her climate. that the most familiar foods can gain new status by being allied with less familiar ingredients.

Overseas visitors to the capital cities may carry sway memories of mefius in whichfried whiting, roast chicken and lobster mayon- naise (all unrstioned foods) ap- pear with monotonous regularity, but country cooking, although simpler in character has definite originality and makes more inter- esting use of local ingredients.

The following is an Australian recipe which is very delicious: Chicken with sweet corn sauce:

Steam or simmer the chicken until tender, moistening it well with lemon juice before it goes in- to the pot. and covering the breast snd back during cooking with the outside wgil-tlvasiled leaves cf e lettuce.

If tinned corn is used for the sauce put a teacup of milk (one- third pint) into a small saucepan. Bring to s boiling point. Add the contents of a ten ounce tin of sweet corn. stir well and thicken to desired consistency with plain flour mixed to a thin smooth cream with extra mllk. The s- mount of flour wiii depend upon the consistency of the tirmed corn. If possible add a teaspocnfui of butter. Season with salt and pep- per. Pour some of the sauce over the bird before it goes to table and serve the rest in s hot sauce- boat.

Fresh corn kernels should be cut. off the cabs, dropped into cold unsuited water and cooked just nntii tender. They can then be drained and mixed with s well- seasoned white sauce. If the corn is not very young it should be minced before being used as s sauce.
