GRANT COMPANY CHRISTMAS
BONUS GOES TO OVER
1900 EMPLOYEES

Christmas bonuses tOtaling over
100000 were distributed on We'd
nesday of this week by the w. T.
Grant Company to over $4,000 en-
ployees in it's 500 stores and offices
throughout the country, according
to an announcement by r. H. Fog
Ter, president and general man
ager. .
Individual bonuses, ranging up
to $4,000 depending on length of
service, go to all regular full-time
and part-time employees who have
been on the payroll for six months
or longer.
Although all bonuses are in
cash, the company suggests that a
share at least be spent for War
Bonds. In his letter to each mem
ber of the company, Mr.. Fogler
says:
Your Christmas bonus, which
comes to you with, the good wishes
of Mr.. Grant and the other officers
of the company, is an expression of
sincere appreciation of your help
fulness during the past year.
While ordinarily any sugges-
tion ON the use of the bonus would
seem to me to be out of place, l
think this year you will agree that
part of it at least should go into
War Stamps or Bonds"
The Grant Company has also sent
a check for ten dollars, as a Christ
mas greeting to each of the GAL
Grant men now in the armed SER
vices.

LEVEL BUILDING
TO STOP DOVER FIRE

The daring of a bulldozer opera
tor who drove his machine through
the end of a burning building at the
Dover Airdrome on Sunday was
credited by Army officers with
preventing spread of the flames to
another nearby office structure.
Damage was placed tentatively at
81 800.
AS the fire raced toward one end
of the building, Donald butcher,
the civilian operator, sent the bull
dozer crashing into the frame build
ing and widened the scant two-foot
gap that separated it from the other
building. Firemen then were able
to restrict the blaze to the one
building.
A board of inquiry is investigat-
ing the cause of the fire. Plans al
ready have been started to replace
the destroyed offices with a con-
crete-block building, the command
ing officer said. Much of the con-
tents were. removed without dam
age.
Firemen fought for about an hour
to bring the flames under control,
and the Robbins Hose Company
stayed on duty three hours longer,
clearing away debris and prevent
ing new outbreaks from embers
and sparks.
Other units in action were the
firefighting outfit, a tank
wagon from the Cheswold Fire Co.,
and a pumper from the Magnolia
Fire Co. The Robbins company
had 20 firemen. a pumper, and a
truck on the scene under
the direction of Ralph H. Boyer,
second assistant chief.

Basic Facts About
Point Rationing
CONTINUED rrOm rus: rage,

But in points rationing one set
of coupons covers a whole group
of commodities. For instance, your
weeks meat ration coupons would
enable you to choose your ration
freely between beef, pork, lamb or
mutton.
5. The second important differ
ence is this-the coupons in point
rationing are of different denomi-
nations. Those to be spent in one
week, for example, will include a
one-point coupon, two-point cou-
pom, a five-point coupon and an
eight-point coupon.
6. The third important differ
ence is this-the various rationed
items within one group will have
different point values. For ex-
ample, tenderloin steak, being rel
atively scarcer, might have high
point value and require a larger
number of coupons, while ham
burger being available in greater
quantities, would have a lower
point value. Thus, in exchange for
a ration coupon worth eight points,
the housewife might be able to OBJ
tain one pound of tenderloin steak
or four pounds of hamburger.
Point values have not been set
yet-values used here are for il
lustration only)
Z. The government will set the
point value of each item within the
group of rationed products and is
sue an official list. Point values
will he based on available supplies
and will vary as supplies Of par
ticular items increase or decrease.
8. War ration book two will
have four pages of blue stamps and
four pages of red stamps. The blue
stamps will be used for the first
group of goods to be rationed by
points. The red stamps will be
used for the second group of point
rationed goods.
8. The number on each stamp !
tells how many points the stamp is
worth. The letter on each stamp
tells what period it is good in. The
will announce these
periods in advance.
