Koppers Stores
To Continue Half
Holidays This Year

Koppers Stores has again an
nounced weekly halliday holi-
days for its employees for the
summer months. These will start
July 9, and continue through to
August 27. Stores will close at
noon on Wednesday. If the first
of the half falls on Wednesday,
the half holiday will be observ-
ed on Thursday. Grills and ser
vice stations will continue to
operate on regular schedule but
store managers will plan for
every grill and service station
employee to get a half day off
during the week. No adjust
ments of salaries will accompany
the reduced operating schedule.
T The weekly half holidays will
be in addition to the two weeks
vacations with pay for all en-
! ployes woh have been employed
three years or longer, with ten
day or week vacations for en-
ploYes with lesser periods of en-
Iployment.
The object Of the liberal vaca
ton policy is to give employees
as much leisure time as posi-
bic during the hot summer
months when outdoor recreation
is so important. Also, it is
believed that store employees
who enjoy the maximum OF
recreation during the summer
season can and will give much
more efficient service to custom
ers. Most industries operate or
five day week and this year the
mine operating company ha!
! granted a vacation with pay t
b the mine workers. Therefore
it has been decided to continur
] the policy of vacations with pa,
D and weekly half holidays.

World Affairs


gainst the nazi armies invading
the Reds home country so far.
The German hordes all doped
up, have even been stopped in
their tracks here and there.
Stain has not been very noisy
the past few days after his first
burst of orator in which he said
Hitler had gone, to far and was
headed for certain defeat.
The next few days will most
likely spell the doom of Hitler's
wild dreams, although at the
time we may not realize it.
The few days respite given to
the British empire will help
immensely. 1t is now easily in
realms of possibility England
take the offensive - with high
chances of scoring heavily.
1t is suspected that Hitler has
something up his sleeve in the
event the beaten" English get
on his back while he is busy
with Russia-if so it better be
good.
America has been weighing
chances of helping Russia by
way of the Pacific if we can
spare them any help.
Japan rose up and said they
would not permit it. While they
got no formal reply, the general
idea expressed was try and stop
it. No one acquainted with the
Japanese considers them any
great threat to the u. S. in the
matter of interfering with any
thing we may chose to do. They
are perfectly safe from attack
from the U. S. But if they get
big-headed and start something
we can and will deal with them.
We have enough ships in the
Pacific right now to wreck the
japanese navy in a few days,
regardless of what nationality
commands the Jap fleet. There
is a suspicion that German
naval officers in advisory posts
really run the Yellow Navy.
Japan's navy has been kept
home where it belongs and far
from the scene of hostilities--
so it is said. The same cannot
be said of her army, and her in
vasion of China, has cost her
dearly. Sometime next spring
Hitler will say the word and 1T
will be swept into the sea so !
suddenly the Nipponese will not
have time to think of their
secret agreements.
This department has no
thing whatever against Japan.
Accusations that we are stir
ring up trouble are ridiculous.
What makes us the way we are
is certain knowledge that tho
Japanese have allowed Adolph
to bind them to attack us when
he gives the word. They are not
acting for themselves, but are
voluntarily Axis partners just
for the sake of spoils-U. S.
spoils = if and when they win.
Hitler cannot attain victory til
he has beaten England and the
United States, and today he
has not whipped the British
and America has not W
to fight. Thus, the more wins
Hitler makes the closer he gets
to the main event. For our part
we are getting ready for am
eventuallity in the defense line.
That secret Your navy and my
army ....." stuff gripes us no
end. I'm the first place it is no
secret, and both the army and
the navy do not impress us in
an open fight. The army is also
too far away and we got an
army too. The navy we don't
