 Adopt Pension Plan
Retirement Income and Special Benefits for Disability
 Death or Termination of Service Provided

pleted two years of continuous serv- ice in order to be eligible for meri- bership.
 Age 60 is the retirement age un- der the w. T. Grant plan which was specially drafted after all types of ready-made plans were studied. Members may choose to receive pay- ments in increased amounts for the first five years after retirement and in decreased amounts when Federal old Age payments begin at age of 65 If they so desire.
 It has been estimated that the company's contributions will amount to about 75 per cent of the total cost of the plan. Employees who earn less than $500 per year will not be required to make payments for benefits. Those receiving more will contribute a percentage of that income which is over $500 per year.
 An early step of the company in providing security to its employees was the establishment of a q 1000 bonus payment to storeworkers at the completion of 20 years service. This has been replaced by the ter mination portion of the new plan but workers who qualify before Jan. l, 1944 will receive the 20-year bonus instead of the termination benefit in addition to other bene- fits created by the new plan.
 The plan provides retirement in- comes for employees who become disabled after ten or more years of service, and for credits for service men who return to employment in the company. Termination and death benefits apply to persons who have had IS years credited service.

Care of Floor PrOl0ngs

With the country's home owners

Building materials of any sort are
increasingly valuable now and may
not easily be replaced.
Even if the practical side Of the
matter were not so important, a
shabby, unkempt floor in a neatly
furnished room is as incongruous
as a pair of shabby shoes beneath

If the floor is waxed frequently,
surface scratching may be pre-
vented and the life of the coating
prolonged. Never let an old floor

Selecting Paints

When choosing exterior paints
il is well 10 remember that earth
pigments are generally more per-
manent when exposed to weather
and sunlight than chemical colors
and that tinted paint is more dur
able than white. The principal
Iearth pigments are ochre. the

Fires Destruction

Here is set of figures which is a disgrace to the United States During the month of December the tonal fire loss totaed $31 36l 000 $774 439 000 more than the November figure. During all of l94l the total fire loss was $322 000 compared with less than $306500000 in the preceding tWelvemonth. And these figures cover only direct loss They do not cove in direct loss-loss of business loss of employment loss of taxes etc-Whch runs into countless millions more 1t would be grave mistake to think of fire only in terms of the money values destroyed. That is serious certainly, in normal times. when there is an abun- dance of labor and supplies and time In these war times the money destruction of fire dWarfed to in- significance by other aspects.
 Fire makes ash and rubbe of essential materials materials which in many cases dangerously scarce Fire takes the labor of men and women-abor which should be used for productive military purposes Fire drains the nation, consumes human energies, and wastes irreplaceable time. Every person in this try can do something to help prevent fire. And every one must, if it is to be licked Every setback for fire IS battle won in the great production which underes the military service to the nation War will leave little enough for civilian consumption as it is We simply cant afford destructive fire.
