THINGS TO-.
REMEMBER

Cleveland.-Time spent by employees
on the premises of an employer COW
cred by the Wage and Hour Law dur
ing black-outs or afraid alarms
where no work is done need not be
compensated for as "hours worked.
Acting Administrator Baird Snyder of
the Wage and Hour Division, U. S.
Department Of Labor, advised re-
gional divisional officials today.
Snyder announced the Division 5
policy following receipt of inquiries
from coastal and Great Lakes indus
trial centers.
While workers cannot
waive their rights to time and a half
for overtime over 40 hours under ex-
listing law, they may voluntarily ac-
cept straight time in cash and the bal
ance in defense securities, Grace G
Glascott, Regional Director Of the
Wage and Hour Division, U. S. De
partment of Labor, said today.
"The Division has received several
inquiries as to whether employees may
work more than 40 hours a week al
straight time," Miss Glascott said
"Under the Fair Labor Standards
Act, they cannot change the law by
waving the overtime provision. How,
ever, if workers voluntarily wish tc
make a contribution to the Victory
Program, they may agree with THEN
employers to accept their overtime
compensation in defense stamps
bonds or similar Government securi-
ties. In that way they would be aid
ing the prosecution of the war anc
building up for themselves safe type
of savings"

FOR BETTER HOMEMAKING

Glycerin is an antidote for the ma
jority of obstinate stains. For coffee
or chocolate stains apply glycerin
with a sponge, let stand a few min
utes and then wash off. For tea
stains, stretch the stained spot over a
bowl and pour the glycerin on the
stained spot, rubbing gently. Let
stand for half hour or more and then
wash. Soak fruit stains either new or
of long standing several hours in
glycerin.
