Water, Feather Bed Not
Best Place During Storm

AUSTIN, Tex.-UP-Dr. C. p.
Boner. professor OF physics at the
University of Texas, has some sad
news for persons who seek protec-
tios in feather bed or tub OF water
when electrical storms crackle out
side.
The best place to be when light
ming plays around the yard is In
side a steel frame building or in
the old-fashioned storm cellar, said
DR.. Boner. II is better to get under
the feather bed than In 1t, he added,
because the metal springs will offer
more protection than the feathers.
There is no foundation for the
old adage that safety will come
with getting ones feet off the floor
and putting them in tub Of water"
said the physics expert.
DR.. Boner warned against stand
ing near a window during an cleo.
trical storm or standing before an
open fireplace. The lightning has
a tendency to come In windows
when people stand nearby and to
strike chimneys that protrude above
the roof from fireplaces.
The safest place to be in an Or
binary home is in the middle OF
room away from windows and
lamps. Danger that lightning will
strike your house (Which caused
old-time statesmen to sell thousands
OF lightning rods), has been dimin-
ished somewhat, DR.. Roner said,
by telephone and radio ground"
wires.
DR.. Boner discredited trees as a
safe refuge from thunder storms.
Lightning sometimes strikes the
tree. he said, vaporizes the sap and
causes the limb or trunk to Eek
plode." The discharge then may
travel to person under the tree,
he added.

your partner that you believe the
side should not try to bid any
higher. In certain circumstances.
the bid has that implication. in a
tentative way. but not positively.
II the partner has any appreciable
values. in addition to those he has
shown. he should. OF course. reach
out toward a slam. In such a case.

A handbook on national unity en- titled Calling All Americans has been issued today by the Council Against Intolerance in America. This handbook is to be used by group leaders In the Selective Sery. ice Camps throughout the United States, by service organizations, and by recreation centers in commufli. ties near the Camps.
 Possessing evidence that divisive propaganda Is being used by the NaZis to disrupt morale in the Camps, The Council Against Intol- erance holds that the ideals of democracy must be reaffirmed and that the basic principles of mutual tolerance and equality need to be emphasized among the men who are in service. Fitting race against race, creed against creed tl7e Nazis have, in many countries successful ly disrupted national unity. Calling All Americans" seeks to prevent di- vision within American rankc.
 Suggestion
 Full of practical suggestions for plays, forums. musical evenings, in- formation quiz programs and other camp activities, Calling All Amer. jeans" in a down-to-earth fashion calls attention to the great con. tributions made by the many na- tional backgrounds who make up our training forces. It exposes propaganda techniques used by the totalitarian governments and the anti-democratic forces here in the United States and, provides effective ways to combat them. It gives sources of films, records, pamphlets and other material to help leaders organize lively programs on national unity.
 Calling All Americans" was pre- pared after consultation with heads of the Selective Service System, The Joint Army and Navy Commit tee on Welfare and Recreation and other governmental agencies. Charles P. Taft, assistant coordina- Ss,zs of the Federal Security Agency, in a letter to George Gordon Battle, co-chairman of Che Council Against Intolerance, says:
 T have read over with a great deal of interest the manuscript, Calling All Americans which you are planning to use in interpret ing democracy and tolerance in democracy to the men in the arm ed forces of the United States.
 T am sure that this material will be helpful to the proper peo- pie within the camps in any pro- grams which they develop for the interpretation to service men, of the value of the democracy which they are training to defend, and of the essential part which toler- ance plays in the maintenance of true democra:yH

established in business, a great many of the larger companies had earned a lower rating for them selves by an enlightened labor pol icy.
 Said MT. Danaher, "The thought full employer who has sought to keep his men busy during slack periods and to spread out the work as much as possible will by the Merit Rating receive an appreciable reduction in his tax, because the small number of payroll separations will place him in one of the more favored categories."
 Notification to each of the 7470 employers affected of their Merit Rating, together with the rate of tax they will pay, are now being prepared and will be mailed to em- ployers within the next few days, Howard E.

 Among the highlights of the weeks program will be a campfire this evenig, at which some of the boys will stage a Saroya play, giv- ing 1t as much of the appearance of a genuine radio broadcast as their facilities will allow. A radio microphone and public add ress system will add reality to this broadcast" which is to be staged pnder the direction of Arthur Hirsch, campfire director.
 Friday night will be Tall Story night at the evening campfire. The weekly board of review and Court of Honor will also be held on Friday.
 During the afternoons this week, in addition to the usual camping activities, the scouts are following an emergency service program, iii- cluding signalling and first aid work. The waterfront program includes troop swimming in the forenoon. and in the afternoon instruction in boating and canoeing, ad work to- wards merit badges in iifesaving, canoeing, and rowing. During the day. the boys have other opportuTli- ties for disporting themselves in the pond--the principal activity of any real camp program.

Merit Rating Index
 Effects Tax Savings
Connecticut Employers to Save $4,OOO,OOO By New
 Unemployment Compensation Reduction Setup

Hartford, Conn, July 8.-Unem- ton of about IS per cent and total- ployment Compensation tax reduc- ling four million dollars was ar1- rounced today by State Labor Com mission Cornelius J. Danaher, as the result of the establishment of the first Merit Rating Index.
 In some instances, it was said, the reduction will amount to as much as $lTS000 a year.
 The new tax rates are effective as of April 1 of this year and will re- main in effect until March 3l, 1942, at which time new ratings will be established.
 By the Merit Rating system ein- ployers with the least labor turn over over a three-year period will have their tax rate reduced from 2.7% to 1.8Tc. There are 1855 em- ployers in this category and 1776 of these have had no unemployment compensation charges against them during the past three years.
 Merit Ratings are established by the Unemployment Compensation Department on the basis of a three year payroll and the total amount of unemployment claims charged against employers. Employers are then placed in 13 categories with a sliding scale of tax rates ranging from 1.5%o to 2.7%.
 7470 Connecticut employers have been subject to the act the re- quired three years and were con- sidered for Merit Rating out of a total of l0,500. These employers rep resent total payroll over a three- year period of more than one bil- lion eight hundred million dollars.
 It was pointed out by Commis- sioner aDnaher that eMrit Ratings were established in order to en- courage employers to equalize em- ployment as much as possible by making 1t profitable for them to have labor policy based on as few payroll separations as possible. He stated that while many of the 1778 employers in the group, with no un- employment charges against them, were small employers who were well
