Labor turnover is big item of expense in industry
Some corporations find by their cost systems that it costs
them much $3.50 every time skilled employee leaves
and one has to be broken in
Why not keep employees on the job by giving them this
$3.50 apiece periodically instead of spending in labor turn
over? This already being done by the Anaconda Copper
Co. in Chile which pays "attendance bonuses"

Near Frederica)
This section is so near Frederick
that it might be identified as of that
thriving town; but we also are near
FELTON, and other important fruit
producing sections as well. The dis
trict is prosperous and an important
part of the Eighth Representative
District. 1 have often wondered why
more news of this section is not
printed in the Milford Chronicle, the
leading weekly paper read by most
families about here; but, it may be
that no one here feels that they
could be helpful by sending in the
local news from time to time. am
not able to write the news each
week, as there may not be anything
happening worthy of reporting, yet
for the once / am going to note just
few brief items and if you care to
print them, will try again. might
say that it is not always convenient
to send the items to your Frederica
correspondent at the proper time
and will send them direct from I'm
ion Church District.
The Parent-Teacher Association is
active again this fall and the re-
suits of the interest aroused in. the
community and district in many
things other than the schools, which
affect the homes and welfare of the
people, has been of great value dur
ing the past and present season.
The meetings afford opportunity for
all the people to get together in a
social way, which makes it a great
pleasure.
y The farmers have had a very sat
isfactOry year as whole, and they
are preparing to dispose of the poul-
try, of which this section grows
large quantities. When the cash
from this sale is in hand, then the
merchants of Frederick get their
profits, because the people use their
poultry money for the comfoEts, and
not the necessities of life.
There are many cOlOrsd people in
this section of very respectable
one of whom died recent
ly and am recording it here.
