More than courage and long hours of work have
gone into this thing. When YOU re on the spot,
you not only have to think fast, but YOU also
have to give little extra something to insure
survival. For decades General Electric EMPLOYEES
have been making valuable suggestions, draw
ing on their experience and knowledge to improve
the job in hand. In % years, 1872 ,665 such ideas
have been used, and have brought $I.297,34O
in awards to the men and women who made the
suggestions. And in year like 1912, with critical
materials short and new production ideas worth
their weight in human lives. the suggestion
system has proved its worth anew. Already this
year C-E employees have made 1880 useful
suggestions which have brought them Sis, 900.
What they will bring ultimately 10 the men who
are fighting the long fight at the earths far
corners is much more important.

Cash Donations

Committee Hopes To Get
Enough Money To In
stall Additional Play
ground Equipment.

If you have not. already made q
contribution to the Milford Bathing
Beach and Playground fund, you
still have an opportunity to aid this
most worthy cause that is badly in
need of money to complete the play
ground.
To date several cash donations
and checks have been received,
while other public spirited citizens
have donated labor, lumber and
other materials to complete the
project. However, much more cash
is needed to purchase and pay for
the sliding boards, swings and mer-
ry-go-rounds that are needed to
adequately furnish the playground.
Through the long winter months
just ahead a paid attendant must
be kept on. duty at the grounds,
money to defray this expense must
be- raised by donations. During the
summer months the concession at
the beach will, when carefully man
aged, bring in almost enough mon
ey to take care of the expenses of
operating the project, but in the
late fall and winter this revenue is
out, and money raised by popular
subscription will be used to take
care of the upkeep, etc.

pace; second day, 2-year-old trot
or pace, 2.13 pace and 2.24 trot;

ment in between the races. How

Dean George E. Dutton of Della

several more may be added this

Dean Dutton said the increase in
engineering enrolment may be due
to the belief that the war has in
creased the opportunity for those in
industry.

about three weeks earlier than

State Directors Get Order To Ease
Up Induction OF Married Men

Major-General Lewis B. Hershey
on Monday of this week instructed
state selective service directors to
arrange induction calls so that mar
ried men would not be drafted in
some localities while single men
were still uncalled in others.
The selective service director said
state officials should arrange their
calls on local boards so as to place
the. heaviest load right now on
boards having the most single men,

Hershey's memorandum to state
directors also instructed local
boards to complete by October 16
the initial classification of all reg
istrants.
Speed-Up Necessary
This speed-up must be made, he
said, because "the serious military
situation" requires that the selec-
tive service system be prepared to
fill calls in 1943 which will be
equal to or in excess of the month
ly calls made in August, September,
and October of this. year."
This procedure, Hershey added,
will tend to level off inductions with

participate.
The program was originated be-
cause of the shortage of man pow
er both in the cooperative and in
the several hundred local service
agencies afiiliated with it as well
as because of the limitations on
travel. Farmers are encouraging
cooperation wherever it will be ad-

Every Pound Of Scrap
Metal And Rubber In
Milford And Vicinity
Is Vitally Needed.

1t is the objective of the stepped
up" Salvage for Victory plan in Mil
ford that every pound of scrap met
al and rubber in homes and COM
mercial establishments should be
put on its way to consuming mills
within the next three months. The
only way in which this objective
can be accomplished is to see that
every householder and every COM
mercial establishment is contacted
and to offer assistance in removing
scrap materials wherever such as
sistance is needed.
The objective, according to local
Chairman r. H. Yerkes, can only
be accomplished through the loyal
enthusiastic and active help of To-
cal citizen groups such as; Air Raid

groups, American Legion, Women's
Clubs and Auxiliaries, Rotary, XII

fense workers, Boys Clubs, All

employees, Firemen, Policemen,
etc., Church groups, Fraternal Or
ganizations, Chamber of Commerce,
Oranges and Farm Bureaus, Trade
and Retail Associations.
With regard to scrap iron, at least
100000 additional tons 'must be
obtained in 1912. This amount must
come from our homes, farms, stores,
garages, and other commercial es-
tablishments. In addition, every
