The concern is an essential industry in that they are building the plant to increase the output of 160-octane gas for the fighting forces. In asking for workers they want it understood that their men are participating in the war effort and ultimate victory for the allied forces. The manufacture of this gas is one of the most vital spots in the national defense program. They will not accept men from any other essential industries and anyone applying must have a statement of availability. But there are men around the country who are available for 45 to 60 days and they will be gladly released when needed back on their old jobs. Able bodied men or healthy boys 16 years or over are welcome to apply. Farm workers must have a release from the county agent and should not leave the food production program if they are needed, says J. W. Kerr, agent for the Sterns-Roger Mfg. Co.
