Miss Bridget Harvey,
1870 Cedragrove avenue,
narnif

Dear Bridget:
Your aunt phoned and told us
about your dog.
She said that you hadn't been
able 10 eat and that dark circles
had taken the laugh out OF your
eyes.
She told us how you first heard
the news when you came home
from school; how the tears had
welled but couldn't come because
you got SO tight inside.
What made it so much worse, of
course. was the fact that your
mother couldn't show you Mug
gins. He had been run over by
other cars after the first one hit
him.
1t would not have been a pleas
ant picture for an 11-year-old to
carry, perhaps for the rest of her
life.
Well, Bridget, there isn't much
we can say. Dogs are like that.
Even when they live to a ripe, old
age. they're around only a little
while.
But right, now, inconsolable as
you are. you're probably wonder
ing why Muggins' span had to be
shorter than usual.
There may have been a reason.
Perhaps whoever put him here let
him be killed to teach children a
lesson.

Overtime Riddle
Krause Tells Controller
Extra City Hours Are
Not Up to Attorney

The thousands OF overtime hours
due city employees today appears
like rainy weather; everybody
agrees it's a bad situation but no
body. apparently, can do anything
about II.
Following a consultation with
Corporation Counsel p III +
Krause on the city's position in
the matter. City CONTROLLED
Charles G. Oakman today admit
ted there is no apparent remedy
for the situation.
81 asked Krause why some
city employees who were working
only n 35-hour week were cred
tied with overtime, whereas the
city charter specifically calls for
o 40-hour work week.
SOME GET TIME OFF
at IA his opinion that II II
merely a matter of interpreta-
ton, not a legal question.
The point In this. Some have
already been given compensa-
tory time of on this basis and
We feel Il would be unfair to
those who have not had the OPP
portunity to change the rules on
them ut this date.
Remember also that between
the city and the DSR, excluding
the Board Of Education, there
arc 1000 city employees In the
armed services.
SITUATION IMPROVING
"More than 1000 of them have
compensatory time coming and
we don't feel right about chang
ing the rules on them while
they're away.
"Our present overtime or4i-
nance which limits an employees
overtime TO 80 hours a year will
at least guarantee that our over
time total won't get any higher.
The best we can do is liquidate
what we now have ms quickly ms
possible. Some of II In depart
ments where the manpower
shortage II acute may have to
wait until after the war, but at
least the situation Is getting
better"

Chemigum is the name that identi.
hes synthetic rubber developed and
produced by Goodyear.
1t has two basic types, which can be
varied in almost endless ways to pro-

to specific purposes.
Chemigum-S is specially COM
pounded to give the abrasion resis-
tance required in tire treads.
Chemigum-N, specially desirable for
its resistance to oils, is widely used
today in many applications in the
automotive, aircraft and refining
fields. Specific products include bull

Using Chemigum, Goodyear pro-

passenger car tire in 1887. This wa,

German Buna tires, and actually
outran natural rubber tires in tread

Passenger Car tires of Chemigum are
undergoing constant study, develop
ment and improvement When the
time comes that they can be offered
for general public sale, you will find
them representative of that quality
that has long made Goodyear the
greatest name in rubber.
