Women Outdo Men In Kwikset’s Key Department BY JOHN SCHAEFER Which comes first, the key or the lock? Most people will say that the locks are made first, then the keys are cut to fit the locks. Wrong answer, and a visit to the Kwikset Lock plant would show just how wrong. Here pin-tumbler locks are assembled to fit pre-selected keys. First the keys are cut by machine from master patterns; then the locks are built around these keys. In the cylinder fabrication and assembly department, one sees nimble-fingered girls putting together locks with parts that are tooled to precision measurements. They work quickly and accurately under the supervision of Pete Zelepugas, department foreman. Assembling locks is a job that calls for fingers that are swift, sure and steady. Foreman Zelepugas watches his quick crew with admiration and pride as he explains, "We tried using men for the job of assembling the locks, but it didn’t work out." Girls have that fast and nimble nervous energy in their hands that make them ideally suited for such a job, he explained. In assembling locks, the girls insert a key into a grooved keyway in the lock plug. They then drop pin-tumblers into the pin holes of the lock, precision tooled tumblers that are of varying lengths. When enough of the tumblers have been inserted in the several pin holes of the lock, these tumblers will form a shear that is being fitted. Zelepugas explained that Kwikset locks don’t have to be filed down to make an even sheer line. This is because the tumblers are tooled to such precision that use of varying sizes of tumblers results in an even shear line without filing down. After the proper number and sizes of bottom pin-tumblers have been inserted, the rest of the job is pretty routine, though the fingers still have to be quick and accurate. Bottom pin-tumblers are dropped into the pin holes, followed by a barrel-type spring that is placed over each top pin. A crew of three girls to teach new workers how to assemble locks quickly and accurately. Girls take anywhere from a week up to three months to learn their new job and to be as fast and efficient as their co-workers. In apartments, hotels, factories and similar multiple-unit buildings it is often necessary to have one key that will open many different, individually-keyed locks. That's when Kwikset's battery or expert masterkeying operator take over. Supervised by Lavell Brothers, who has been with Kwikset four years, the maker of the master keys are the skillful ALL POULTRY and EQUIPMENT FOR SALE by World's Largest Poultry Ranch!

FEATURETTE—"Here we are," says Milford Smith of Anaheim as he brings his big Union Oil tank truck to a halt among the surprising structures now known as Knott's Berry Farm. "This is what happened to the little 10-acre berry patch Walter Knott started to cultivate back in 1920. Hard to believe isn't it!" It is hard to believe. The original berry patch has disappeared completely. In its place is a unique village—a sort of California Gold Rush ghost town, but certainly not deserted. PUBLICITY—This is the way the feature article in this month's On Tour, the Union Oil company's monthly publication, begins. British Submarine, 75 Men, Missing In Channel Dive PORTSMOUTH.. Eng. (P)—The British submarine Affray with 75 men and officers aboard vanished today after a dive on maneuvers in the English channel. The admiralty quickly accepted a U.S. Navy offer of help and two American destroyers, the Ellison and the Perry, joined in an air-sea hunt by British ships, planes and helicopters! The Affray, one of 16 submarines of the 281-foot "A" class, was assigned to a "practice war patrol" between here and Falmouth. This meant she would have been traveling submerged at all times except when making a radio report bewteen 8 and 9 a.m. daily. An admiralty spokesman said there was some hope that the submarine commander, war hero Lt. John Blackburn, might have misread the order on making the daily morning reports, in which case the Affray might still be proceeding submerged. "If in so doing she is now carrying out a deep diving patrol she would be unable to receive the radio messages which are now being sent to her each 15 minutes," the spokesman said. He added, however, that the Navy did not pin much hope on this theory. The admiralty announced that next of kin of all aboard were be- BLOOMING FLOWER SHOP—last weekend opened a whole 1947.

PUBLICITY—This is the way the feature article in this month's On Tour, the Union Oil company's monthly publication, begins. ENTERPRISE—Walter Knott's biography is typically an American one, meaning that it is a story of an ordinary man who used his opportunities of this blessed land to achieve extraordinary success. It was in 1920 when the Knott family moved to the 10-acre farm in Orange county. Walter liked everything about berries except their small size. So, when a Department of Agriculture representative called at the Knott roadside stand in inquiry about Rudolph Boysen who had reportedly developed a larger berry, Walter became all ears. He may even have been the first to find Rudolph Boysen, then superintendent of Anaheim parks. At least it was Knott who rescued the remnants of a few plants from Boysen's experimental patch. The originator, through misfortune, had abandoned his experiments; he couldn't remember for certain whether the boysenberry was a cross between loganberry, blackberry or raspberry. At the first picking in 1933, the Knott family plucked, not only the finest and largest berries ever seen, but seeds of a new ambition. Mrs. Knott baked boysenberry pies at 50 cents each. In a few weeks the demand became so great, that she had to solicit the help of neighbors to supply the demand. The world began beating a path to the Knott Berry Farm. From that time on, things began to happen. The Knotts built a kitchen and chicken dinners were added. Dinning rooms doubled and redoubled. Today, the hosts of the berry patch can glance at the calendar, hold a moist finger to the wind, and tell in advance how many guests to expect for dinner. On a Affray might still be proceeding submerged. "If in so doing she is now carrying out a deep diving patrol she would be unable to receive the radio messages which are now being sent to her each 15 minutes," the spokesman said. He added, however, that the Navy did not pin much hope on this theory. The admiralty announced that next of kin of all aboard were being informed that the Affray was overdue. A big four-engined RAF Lancaster bomber led the search along a stretch of sea 75 miles long and 25 miles wide off the south Channel coast for the 1600-ton craft, which is equipped with a Schnorkel breathing apparatus and escape devices. Zig-zagging along the Affray's assigned course, airmen watched for oil slick, debris or emergency marker buoys around the point where the submarine went into her dive at 8 p.m. (12:15 p.m., PST) Monday, about 25 miles south of the Isle of Wight. She was to end the assignment at this base Thursday afternoon. After her dive the Affray was due to reappear 20 miles southeast of her starting point, at a point about 100 miles west of Portsmouth. The Lancaster search bomber carried a small boat and rescue apparatus to be dropped by parachute if survivors were sighted.

Omar Bradley, five-star peer of G.Douglas MacArthur, today declared Asia military policies would be vocated by the deposed commander, would "jeopardize world peace." Bradley was the first of homecoming general's five-story brothers in rank to speak publicly against the theory of carrying the war to China since President Truman dismissed MacArthur last week. Bradley did not mention MacArthur's name. Last year's quick United Nations action in Korea, Bradley declared, may have stayed to Kremlin's hand as it was about to precipitate World War III. Bradley roundly backed president's stand against MacArthur's ideas and defended the administration's policy of limiting the war in Korea. As chairman, the joint chiefs of staff, Bradley has a large part in policy making. In a speech prepared for delivery to the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters, Bradley also declared: 1. The Korean war, under present conditions, may be headed toward a stalemate, but it can brought to an honorable conclusion. 2. The United States will not wage a preventive war. 3. The one price the U.S. will pay him out of my The world began beating a path to the Knott Berry Farm. From that time on, things began to happen. The Knotts built a kitchen and chicken dinners were added. Dinning rooms doubled and redoubled. Today, the hosts of the berry patch can glance at the calendar, hold a moist finger to the wind, and tell in advance how many guests to expect for dinner. On a busy holiday, the cooks are advised to prepare 2500 chickens, 1800 steaks, 2000 boysenberry pies, 1000 gallons of coffee plus all of the soups, appetizers, bread, vegetables and trimmings needed. As many as 500 employees gather from miles around to feed the multitude. Last year, Farther's Day unexpectedly slipped one over on Mother's Day, always a record breaker, and chalked up 11,346 dining guests between noon and sundown. "I guess most of us," concludes the Union Oil driver, "would count up our savings after so many years of hard work and settle down to retirement. Not these folks, however. Mrs. Knott and her five children, all married now are still on the job day after day, catering to the thousands who are priviledged to enjoy the bounties of a free land." "As for Walter Knott, his next ambition is to restore a real old mining town out in the California desert, so that America will remember the foundations of hard work and common sense that made our modern way of life possible. He's already purchased 'he site and started rebuilding.'"

Omar N. Y., five-star peer of Gen. MacArthur, today declared Asia military policies added by the deposed commander would "jeopardize world peace." Bradley was the first of the incoming general's five-starers in rank to speak out against the theory of the war to China since Truman dismissed MacArthur last week. Bradley did mention MacArthur's name. This year's quick United Nations action in Korea, Bradley said, may have stayed the man as it was about precipitate World War III.

As chairman of joint chiefs of staff, Bradley large part in policy making, a speech prepared for deputy National Association radio and Television Broadcasting, Bradley also declared: "The Korean war, under presiditions, may be headed to a stalemate, but it can be bent to an honorable conclusion." The United States will not prevent a preventive war. Not pay for peace is appeasement. 4. The use the reds have made of air bases in Manchuria to date has not warranted U.N. bombing of them. 5. Action against aggression in Korea upset communist plans in Asia, at least temporarily preventing red moves in Indochina and perhaps saving Thailand and Formosa. 6. Any attempt to settle the world crisis by an ultimatum—perhaps accompanied by a threat to bomb Russia—is militarily impracticable and might backlash. In Washington, the Defense department said Bradley's speech was cleared by the State Department in line with a White House edict last December requiring clearance of policy statements by government officials. In ousting MacArthur from the Far East command, Mr. Truman cited disregard of that order as a reason for the action. In places, Bradley's viewpoint on the situation was the same as MacArthur's. He disagreed on what to do about it. Bradley made it plain that "I have no intention of entering the foreign policy field or even urging a particular policy in the conduct of foreign affairs. Conduct of foreign affairs is a civilian responsibility..." But, he added, "a soldier can often see the strategic perils the layman might overlook. It is fundamental that our foreign policy must be based upon our military capabilities to back it up."
