tations for themselves and their
company for doing their duties with
a high degree of skill and safety.

and safety directors.
In addition to all this, these driv-
ers are proud of their regulations

their interest in the comfort of their
passengers.

of T. C. Ingram, superintendent of
transportation. He KS been with

p%ortation dates back to 1922.

is headquarters for them. It is sit
uated in the company's main office
in Charlotte. Once each month 4
safety meeting is held in that office
and talks on safety are given. All
drivers who are not on duty are re-

employees; that is, they should be
encouraged to feel that they are a
solid, unified whole, working to-
gether for a common cause.-The
betterment of the company.
Second: The employer should not
adopt a spirit of paternalism,
which, Scott said, is unnecessary
in the encouragement Of the works
toward Improvement.
Fourth: Employees should be en-.
couraged to present suggestions to
their employers.
Fifth: Employees should be en-
couraged in the development Of high
personal ideals.
Seventh: Discipline should be ad-
ministered in the form Of teaching,
not punishment.
Eighth: Leadership should be fos-
tered and promoted among employees.
Kornegay, in mentioning the ad-
vantages Of organization among
employees, said "the average worker
hesitates to go directly to his en-
ployer and reveal his thoughts, but
when properly organized a commit
tee can act as an intermediary,
thereby saving much Of the en-
ployer's time"
He described this phase of the or
ga~nization's function as particular

Reserve Officers
Physical Tests
Relaxed by Army
New Policy More Lenient;
District Groups Will
Meet During Week

A new policy has been established
by the War Department under
which more leniency will be exer-
cised by medical officers in the con-
duct of the physical examination Of
Army Reserve officers called to ac-
tive duty.
In some cases, Reserve officers
who received two physical examina-
tons within the first 80 days after
entry upon active duty, have been
relieved from duty because of find
ings Of the second board at variance
with findings of the original board.
Under the new policy, where
preliminary board of three or more
medical officers, appointed by prop
er authority, has found an officer
physically qualified for extended &C
tive duty, the recommendations Of
any succeeding board will be based
solely upon those parts of the second
examination that were not within
the scope of the preliminary board
examination, such as chest X-rayS,
ctro-cardiography and sociological
tests, it was announced. If the first
examination was of the final type, no
other examination will be required.
In passing upon the physical
qualifications of commissioned OFF,
GERS ordered to active duty, reason
able waivers will be granted where
the interest of the Government or
of the military service is not COM
promised. Under the new policy,
reviewing authorities will be vested
with authority to waive physical
defects existing at the time of entry
upon active duty, if such defects
will not interfere with the salts
factory performance of field duties
appropriate to the grade and as
signment of the individual con-
cerned, and If the nature of the de-
feet is such that it is not likely to
be aggravated to a disabling degree
as result of active military service.
District cavalry officers will meet
today at Fort Myer, Va, for in
struction in horsemanship. WASH
ington quartermaster officers will
meet tomorrow evening to discuss
