Kent Workers Ask Sal
ary Level Equal To
Payment In New Cas-
tie County.

Maintenance employees of the
State Highway Department in Kent
county will ask wage increases to
equal the wages of New Castle
county workers at the next meeting
of the State Highway Department,
terminating a short strike last Fri
day.
Spokesman for the Kent county
workers cited that the wages paid
Kent county maintenance men are
SIS cents an hour for foremen, 40
cents an hour for laboTers, 40 to SO
cents an hour for truck drivers, and
55 cents an hour for tractor and
grade operators while, they said,
the wages run generally ten cents
higher in New Castle county.
A spokesman said further that in
New Castle county the men are
enabled to make even more money
by working a 60-hour week while
49 hours is the limit in Kent coun-
ty.
The Kent employees asserted that
ii costs at least as much to live in
Kent county as in New Castle
county and the wages, therefore,
should be equal, insisting that an
belief that living costs
in Kent county are lower than in
is a fallacy.

Phone Official Urges
Hunters Be Careful
GunshOts May Accidentally
Damage Vital Equipment,
Manager Says

Hunters are requested to be
doubly cautious this season when in
the vicinity of telephone lines as
gunshots may accidentally damage
vital telephone equipment which
must be kept working full time in
the interest of the war effort.
c. Burton Sypherd, manager for
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany. said: 1T is especially i'm
portant that every line be kept in
service at all times because the
armed forces and war industries
are depending so much on tele-
phone communications.
ITO do this, it is essential to
keep the equipment free of dam
age. Shots fired near telephone
wires or cables may miss their
mark and accidentally cut a wire,
damage the sheath of a cable or
shatter an insulator. The damage
might put a number of telephones
out of service and, possibly, inter-
fere with an important war call"
