1t is most encouraging to have

We find employers testifying to
the loyalty, honesty and efficiency
of their employees, and employees as
serting the fairness and generosity
of their employers.
Profit-sharing with employees is
not protit-sharing unless fair and
just wage is paid before there is a
division of net profits. The sugges-
ton that sharing of profits might
be used as a substitute for fair
wages may, in some instances, be
justified. However, not in one single
case reported to date has such a
condition been found to exist. AS
matter of fact, the record made
thus far discloses that the type of
employer who voluntarily shares
profits with those working for him
is not the type of employer who
would pay his employees less than a
fair wage.

We boast Of the fruits and bene-
fits of the capitalistic order but we
leave to the comparative few the
task Of defending private. capital
ism. We could win large support
by extending Its benefits and in
creasing the numbers of men and
women who are direct beneficiaries
Of a system through a broader and
more equitable distribution of
wealth at the source of its creation,
shared in by those workers who
help to create it.
An important fact to be borne In
mind is that 70 per cent of all work.
ers are employed in establishments
having less than 500 employees. While
profit-sharing exists In q number
Of major companies, it has likewise
proved q wise policy for many small
firms wherein it has been tried. To
assist little business to prosper and
grow Is primary obligation Of all
Of us. The one, two or three extra
employees put back to work by the
neighborhood grocer or tailor in
every shopping center might swell
the ranks Of the employed more
rapidly than by constant appeals to
big business to put men back to
work. although every one should be
appealed to to do his part.
Prof1t-sharing in little businesses
as well as large concerns would seem
to provide q partial answer to the
problem Of unemployment and the
proper and just distribution Of

The struggle for existence is as
old as creation itself.
The problem of the distribution
Of wealth is one which has plagued

Where do people go when they are sick?
 William J. Wityak asked himself this same question some time ago, and he found the answer simple enough. '"To a Hospital" So he fig ured there should be a hospital for sick radios too, and now there is.
 The Wityak Radio Service com- pany located at 83 Strafford street, in Waterville, is a small but very busy place of business, MT. Wityak has had many years of practical radio experience and that he is in business for himself he can pass on real money savings to his patrons.
 In addition all forms of radio surgery, therapy and whatever else has to be performed to bring the sick radio back to health, MT. Wit yak also sells the new 1889 General electric radio which he claims is the best radio in the country today.
 T wish I could talk with persons before they buy a new radio, I'd like to tell them all about the new Gen. eral electric radios, and if could do this I am sure they would not be satisfied with anything but Gen. eral Electric" Is the way MT. Wit yak puts it.

GENERAL SERVICE
 POPULAR COMPANY

The General Radio Service com- pany is located at 1754 East Main street and is considered one of the busiest stores in the East End. The company was started two years ago by the present owner Domenic Iagrossi who is well known in this city.
 This popular firm features the General Electric radio and the fa- nous Hot Point Washing machines.
 An up todate repair department is maintained by the company which naturally assures the stores patrons of excellent maintenance of all radios or washing machines.
 MT. Iagrossi said today that he was looking forward to an increase in the radio industry as compared with last year because, as he puts it "The General Electric company have brought forth one of the finest radios in the country"
 MT. Iagrossi went further, he said My whole aim has been to build good will by giving friendly, person. al service, and dropping the usual high pressure business tactics. I feel that by helping the public I am helping myself.
 The General Radio Service makes it easy for anyone to own a radio. The company allows considerable for old radios toward the purchase of new ones and the balance can be paid in easy convenient terms.

radio receiver as furniture gives much to home decoration this year. Cabinets in period, modern and even precedent-setting design enable the discriminating home maker to better carry out her individual ideas.
 The development of automatic tuning and remote control of radios has had much to do with making possible the modern interpretation of radio as furniture.
 Mystery Control
 There is one line of radios that introduces a system of remote con- trol which makes it possible for the owner to tune in wanted stations and adjust volume from almost any point in the house without the cof1- trol device being in any way con- nected by means of wires, with the receiver.
 Another device concentrating on predetermined control of the radio receiver, makes possible the pre- election of variety of programs over 24-hour period and in addi- tion can be adjusted to make the set start itself up in the morning and thus awaken the owner for the day.
 In still another progressive move one manufacturer has endowed his sets with a tone control system that makes possible positive and accurate Synchronization of tone reproduc- tim fo hnth broadcast nIialitv and individual tastes of the listeners.
 Elimination of outside aerials or antennae is another forward step that has been successfully taken by several manufacturers who have, nevertheless, retained and enhanced the accuracy and sensitivity of their receivers in the process, especially in the realm of the high fidelity re- ception.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-17

All peoples of the world today have their magic lamp and the wealth of music, drama and world events are brought into the home. Just small movement of the hand and the modern radio will bring any part of the world to the liSten- CTS hearing. This magic, undreamed of, tnheard of a few years ago, exists in most every home in the United States today.
 Sweeping extension of improved automatic tuning and tone control to radios in virtually every price bracket and to models which make possible the fulf1llment of every con- ceivable human convenience, is an outstanding feature of the new 1899 lines. The forward progress of the radio industry has carried these fea- lures into motor car radios as well. A revolutionary improvement in re- ceiving sets for farms and ranches in linelectrified areas is also an &C., complishment of the new sets.
 These new sets on display in stores throughout the city reveal upon in- spection how economically modern new set can be acquired. The same enhancement of dollar values that will be apparent in standard home sets, will also be recognized in the realm of the small, or compact and midget radio. This year the tiny receiving sets become jewels of their lines.
 Multiple Ownership
 Their irresistible lure, it is con- f1dently expected, will go as far to- ward stamping the current season as the greatest era of multiple own ership of radio sets by American families, as will the major improve ments in radio tend to make this season the greatest for replacements. There is now a radio for every purse and purpose, and plenty of models of price sufficiently modest to en- able most families to equip several rooms in the home with individual sets.

 MT. Strauss contends that the General Electric is the finest pro- duct on the market. The Hotpoint refrigerator he says can not be squalled for beauty, convenience and thrift. The new 1899 General Electric radios are the worlds finest, Mir. Strauss said.
 Before taking on any particular line of radios I very carefully checked and rechecked every radio on the market. I compared the dollar values of each of these radios and I am convinced after my thorough investigation that the General Electric radio gives more for the money than any other ra- dio," MT. Strauss stated today.

Mystery Control On
 Sets Easy To Carry
PhicOs New Invention Contained in Small BOx-Wire
 Connections Completely Eliminated

A brilliant new invention "des- tined to revolutionize the listen- ing habits of the entire radio public" is introduced by Philco this season with presentation of its new 1899 line of radios. In-' cluded in new Philco presenta- tions also is an important advance in battery operated sets for farm and ranch and portability.
 The brilliant new invention listed foremost among Philco's new 1889 offerings is called the mystery control". It is contained in a comparatively small and at- tractively designed box that may be carried from room to room.
 Wherever it is taken within ap- proximately 100 feet of the radio to which it is synchronized it serves to give the owner fingertip mastery over the selection of sta- tions and the control of volume (and here is where the mystery en- terS) without the use of connecting wires between the control and the radio.
 The portability of the device plus the elimination of wired con- nections immediately highlights the significance of the mystery control. It may be carried from room to room as easily as a book ito the front porch, the kitchen or the bedroom-and from any, where within it's range the owner may select or chaneg stations and regulate volume on the radio that is out of sight but within sound. He may even shut off the radio with 1t.
 Philco points out that, "desir- able as it may seem, you cannot control your neighbor,s radio with the mystery control of your own
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-17

set" because each of these amaz- ing devices is synchronized with its companion set and will not operate any other.
 Philcos achievements in the realm of battery powered radios, accomplished through the inven- ton of new low-power tube which minimizes battery drain, a compact power pack and new specially designed speaker, has brought into being what may be called the "self-powered" radio.
 Designed primarily for farms and ranches outside electrified areas, it will function with great efficiency for approximately 1000 hours, or from eight months to year, without battery changes.
 The compactness developed for the new sets immediately inspired their use in portables which may be taken on picnics, on boats, to summer cottages, etc., with great ease and convenience.
 In presenting its new radios for 1889, Philco covers every va riety of listener requirements with a line consisting of 34 models.
 These include compacts, table models and consoles designed in keeping with every principle of good taste in decoration.
 There is also complete line of radio-phonograph combina- tions with automatic record chang CTS and semi-automatic pickups which make it necessary only tc close the lid in order for the tone arm to come in place and the record to start playing.

Wilkes Man Has Been jailed
IS Times On Drunk Charges

North Wilkesboro. Ernest Money,
young man VINO lives I'm the east
ern part of Wilkes county, has been
in Jail for drunkenness rs times in
the past four years.
Ernest admits that he has been
jailed IS times for drunkenness in
the past four year but his memory
is bit vague on the number Of
times prior to four years ago.
And his statement is no idle
boast. Records kept at the Wilkes
county Jail corroborate his state
ments. In fact, records show that
he was placed in Jail 16 times with
in period Of 80 days.
'"The rs times is not counting
calabooses," he said. Calaboose is
the familiar name for town lock-
ups.
He said that most of the times he
was put in Jail at Wilkesboro but
that he had also been locked up in
jails in Charlotte, Winston-Salem,
Statesville and Taylonsville - mot
counting the times locked up in the
calaboose here in North Wilkesboro
when I was not taken to the coun-
ty Jail in Wilkesboro."
Much has been said about the
s'liquor habit" When Ernest was
que toned about whether or not he
had a craving for whiskey which
has led him off the water wagon for
times so numerous he said, II drink
it for the kick I get out of it." He
went on to say that he did not par
ticularly like the tate of liquor
and could take it or leave it.
He is only "a years old and is an
orphan. He holds no resentment to-
ward deputies sheriff or policemen
who often have led him to cot be-
hind the bars. He said that he was
sent up one time for fighting, which
was the worst charge ever brought
against him, and that at all other
times when he was jailed the charge
was drunkenness.
Ernest lives in the Engle Hollow
SGCLlOI1 VI W11hSS Guilty OCLWCC4A
Cycle and Windy Gap, and near
the home of Glenn Johnson where
alcohol tax unit investigators a few
years ago found and destroyed what
was described as the largest inland
liquor seizure in the United States
1000 gallons in cases of half-gal-
lon fruit jars.
Ernest said that he was placed in
Jail the first time for drunkenness
at the tender age of II years. With
IS times chalked up during the past
four years it is quite probable that
he has been put in at least 100
times.
His terms in Jail have ranged
from overnight to 80 days inter-
mingled with an occasional 30-day
sentence on the roads. He was re-
leased from the road camp Monday
at Sparta, where he served 80 days
