Utilities Co.
To Liquiddte
Reveal Michigan
Corporations Ready
for Sale or Sold

PHILADELPHIA. April 2.
(UP). - Federal District Judge
William II. kirkpatrick today
approved the voluntary plan oil
the Great Lakes Utilities Com.
pany, which owns or controls lC
gas utilities in eight states. 10
hQuidate its business because OF
inability 10 meet requirements OF
the Holding Company Act OF 1885.
The company owns or controls
the Ohio Gas, Light and Coke
Company: the Gas Corporation of
Michigan and its subsidiary. the
Gas Transportation Company of
Michigan; the Rochelle Gas Com
pahy and the Paxton Gas Com
pany of Illinois; the Independence
Gas Company and the lie Mars
Gas Company of Iowa; the Water
town Gas Company of South Da-
kota: the MartinSville Gas Com
pany and the Virginia Gas and
Utilities Company of Virginia.
The plan, which previously had
been sanctioned by the Federal
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion. was approved by Judge Kirk
patrick after the company said the
plants were so widely scattered il
was impractical 10 integrate any
two of them into a single system.
The company had been directed
10 divest itself of holdings which
could not be combined into one
unit.
n. II. Gellert, president OF the
parent company, testified the
company already has sold or nego-
tiated for the SALE of the two
corporations in Iowa. the two in
Virginia and the companies in
Michigan. He said he hoped IL
would be possible TO dispose Of the
others within the next year or two.

Converted All Around

We've converted not only
our machines but our entire
force" stated L. Clayton Hill,
general manager. The company
is employing so per cent more
than il did year ago on ordi-
nary work. Women are a big
part of the employment picture
and doing a good job, according
TO Hill.
The company is at the tag
end Of its peacetime work. The
manufacture of parts for bomb
ers and pursuit planes is occupy
ing its staff seven days a week
on three shifts. Only lack Of
enough skilled labor is holding
il back from a full swing shift.
Teamwork is what Hill and
Avery credit for the great
record in production. They speak
about their fellow-executives as
though they were part Of the
line and backfeld of a we'll
coached football team.

To get an idea of the differ
ence between the company'S
peacetime and war production.
it is only necessary TO compare
some of the operations. The
company once made side panels
for the Ford. In the making of
the panel, 100 to 200 stampings
were necessary.
