FRANKFORT
Tribute TO Mrs. VI, T. GuI

Tribute TO Mrs. VI. I. Gum
i In the passing of Mrs. Olive Der
/ ricksoM Gum this community has
( lost valuable citizen. Her church
has lost a faithful member whose
many years of constant service as
an uneXcelled worker for the inter-
ests of its various organizations
has left an influence for good that
will live long in the memory of all.
Her sympathetic, motherly attitude
testified to her sincere adherence to
the scriptural suggestion. Bear ye
one anOther's burdens" and her
daily practice of the Golden Rule.
In her youth, Mrs. Gum was a
successful teacher in the public
schools of Delaware. A charter
member of Frankford Chapter, No.
~. Order of the Eastern Star. she
served one term as its Worthy
MatrOn.
The beautiful funeral service in
her own little home church last
Thursday was an appropriate eli
max to the Christian life of a good
neighbor. The example of this de-
voted wife and mother is of inesti-
mable value. She was indeed
good woman.

PATENT POOLS

In Offering to the government
royalty-free its Buna rubber pa
tents, not only for the duration, but
forever, a large oil company is
carrying on in the best tradition
of American industry.
The offer provides that in accept
ing these patents the government
will have the right to issue royal
ty-free licenses to everyone who
coOperates with the war rubber
program and reciprocates with
similar licenses under its own pa
tents. 1t provides also that the
government increase expenditures
on synthetic rubber research to a
total of not less than $5,OOO,OOO.
Thus we have big business Civ
ing up an individual possession to
further the general cause and pro-
vide incentive to its own competi-
tors as well as to the government,
to intensity research in the all-im-
pOrtant field of synthetic rubber
This is not the first time a COM
pany has relinquished its exclusive
patents to other companies in re-
turn for the right to use those of
other concerns. Patent pools have
been in existence for some time in
the automOtive and airplane indus
tries where makers of cars and
planes throw their patents into
pools from which participants may
draw.
This is not "share the inven-
ton scheme" without incentive to
the pioneer So long as there is
opportunity for reward in the form
of royalties, profits, or other val
liable patents, technology thrives.

Milford To Have
Audible All-Clear
CONTINUED from First Page)

tContnued from rltSt FaReJ
until the all clear.
4. The next audible signal you
should hear will be known as
the all clear and will consist
of three short blasts on the
steam whistle and air horns.
This means that the blackout
is definitely over. Civilian de-
fense is demobilized.
Note this particularly: 1t may be
possible that instead of the first
audible signal you hear being a
long steady blast which, as stated
above, is called the blue signal,
meaning that enemy planes are
headed in your direction, it is poss-
ible you might hear the red or
danger signal-a series of short
blasts on the steam whistle and air
horns for at least two minutes. If
so, it means that there is no time
to flash the blue signal. Enemy
planes are practically here and that
we are going into an immediate
blackout. Should this ever happen,
ALL lights. houses or street, are
put out Immediately. All traffic
stops and everyone takes shelter.
Remember this: No house lights
are to he turned on until the all
clear is sounded. Even after be-
tween the last audible blue signal
you hear there should result a per-
iod of several hours. DO NOT
TURN YOUR HOUSE LIGHTS ON
UNTIL THE ALL CLEAR is
BLOWN AND THE WARDENS
TELL. YOU THAT THE BLACK /
OUT is OVER.

Washington SNAPSHOTS fou.
Many members of Congress be-
licve that the administration S
Economic Sterilization program
has reached new crisis and that
the next two weeks will tell the
story.
The threat of organized labor 10
breach the Little Steel" formula
appears to be test of the ability
of the War Labor Board TO stand
up under powerful pressure.
zee
An equally determined campaign
to include the costs of labor in
the computation of farm parity
prices. as represented i'm the Pace
Bill, will soon come up in the Sen
ate where passage is almost GER
tain.
Indications are that Lewis coal
strike threat and the impasse be-
tween the mine labor leader and
the operators will be referred TO
WLB this week.
zee
Several Congressman were of the
opinion that if the Lewis strike
threat is carried into action, there
may be swift, retributive legisla-
tion-possibly along the line of
the Austin WadswOrth COmpul-
sorry ManpOwer bill.
At the end of December, 1912,
according to the Civil Service
Commission, the Federal Govern
ment had a total of 2,S10.900 civil
ian employees. This is 73 per cent
greater than the number employed
in 1941. Biggest increases were:
War Department, 100000 more
workers. or a total of 1857 OLA; /
Navy. 257. 900 more, or total of !
$50 $50. Civilian government work !
ers in Washington totaled 2S4,O6S, ;
81 per cent above previous year
end figures.

A COMMUNITY PROBLEM

Far from encouraging is thu
news that absenteeism resulting
from illness, non-industrial acci.
dents, and personal reasons caused
loss of 39,4OO,OOO man-days in
January of this year.
These figures. from the records
of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, indicate that if alb
senteeism continues at this rate
almost half billion man-days will
be lost during this vital production
year.
Absenteeism has always been
with us to some extent and prob
ably always will be. 1t is high
lighted and emphasized now be-
cause the war effort requires the
presence of every man and woman
on the job every hour of his or her
working day.
Every hour of production loss is
serious. Late deliveries of short
orders may be the difference be-
tween life and death to our armed
forces. The issue is so important
that everything possible must be
done to cut down this disastrous
time loss.
Industry has bent every effort
to combat the absentee problem
through greatly expanded facili-
ties for the protection and welfare
of workers. But industry cannot
do the job alone.
Some communities to which
thousands of new war workers
have been attracted have been short
of housing. Some have had insuffi-
cient transportation facilities.
There are many cases in which re-
tail stores, laundries, beauty par
lors, banks, and restaurants have
not become geared to the needs of
shift workers. In some cases rec
reation and entertainment facili-
ties are inadequate or ill-timed.
Many communities that have had
to absorb thousands of war work +
ers almost overnight have not as
yet caught up with the many mis- (
cellaneous demands made upon
them for food, shelter, clothing,
professional services, and enter
herein lie several of .
the causes of absenteeism.
While the practice of absentee
ism will never be entirely eliminat-
ed, great improvements can be real
lied if the ordinary needs of war
workers can be taken care of with
out the necessity for time off for
the purpose.
The solution of the problem is
not too complicated. 1t
requires in most cases, however, a
survey of the local situation and in
some cases readjustments in hours
Or services or both. If every COM
nunity in which absenteeism is a
will adapt its facilities to
he needs of the war effort, this ]
ierious obstacle to all-out war pro-
Iuction will swiftly be brought un-
Ter control.

BINDER TwINE PRICE UP

Sussex and Kent farmers will
soon learn that binder twine prices
will be somewhat higher this year,
because of the increased cost Of
materials. Cordage and twine
fibers, from which binder twine has

~ JAMEs PREsroes

The Austin-W Wadsworth Bill
which would authorize the draft OF
American workers, men and wo-
men, for jobs at factory bench and
in bayfield,, is running into stiff OPP
position in Congress as well as
along the whole industrial front.
Compulsion is not popular in the
labor sector. and the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, spokes-
men for industry, has come out un-
equivocally against this measure.
NAM does not believe in the prin-
cipal of compulsion for labor and
therefore opposes any legislative
proposal embOdying such princi-
pies. Free labor and free industry
are the combination that has made
and can preserve our American
economy - particularly important
in war. If good labor practices are
followed by government. employ
ers, and workers. labor shortages
can be avoided. Production would
suffer, not benefit, from labor COM
pulsion because there is no substi-
tute for the initiative and willing
effort of free men.
zee
Before such action as is suggest
ed by this bill is taken. more ade-
quate factual information must be
gathered on the confused manpOw-
er situation. and greater utiliza-
tion of existing machinery to cope
with the problem must be made.
This is the opinion of Congressman
who favor drastic revision, if not
outright shelving, of the Austin
labor compulsiOn mea-
sure.
Speedy passage of the Smith
Bill. in opposition to the uniOniz-
ing of fOremen and other supervis-
Dry employees. is asked by the
Board of Directors of the NAM
which reaffirms the Associations
position of last December on the
measure.
President Roosevelt and the Sc
ective Service stepped into the
picture again last week
when the Chief Executive outlined
| semi-compulsory plan TO force
workers in various categOries to
20 back to the farm or to job in an
essential industry. Affected were

transports each capable of carry
ing 120 men and shot down all of
them.
