Efficiency
Men Sfuy
In Toledo
Continued From Page L


JOURNAL early this week when
it discovered that the engi-
neers who had been reported in
last weeks paper as b e i n g
cooled off" had not been dis
charged; but are now sojourn-
ing at a local apartment hotel
living as all good efficiency en-
gineers are supposed to live.
Roy Price, one of the eff
cheney men allegedly discharged
by the Scale Co. management
and reported to have left town,
is one of those staying at the
apartment hotel. He was there
at the time this paper went to
press.
1t is now reliably reported
that Mr.. Price will eventually
be removed to greener pastures
and will be replaced by anoth-
er less obvious efficiency man.
Mr.. Price is reported to have
stated that his days in Toledo are
numbered and that his company
is sending in another and bet
ter" man.
Job Rating Plan
Behind the time st u d y
"fiasco," lies the real idea of the
company, to institute job rating
which has been opposed by
bonafide unions all over this
country. Job rating in an in
dustry with company domi-
mated union would be even
worse than it is in plants with
a regular union which combatS
the worst phases of the system,
say union men.
Several high placed company
employees are slated for the ak
as a result of Mr.. Prices time
study practice" Other dis
charges of lesser fry will come
as a natural consequence of the
elimination of socalled key men,

Civilians To
Have More Ice
Cream Soon

More and richer ice cream
roughly Is million gallons more
may be available during May and
June to those who relish this del
icacy because of a recent War Food
Administration order which per-
mits manufacturers to produce
more ice cream during these two
months than during the same pc
Rod last year. Ice cream will be
richer than at any time since Feb
ruary, 1913.
An increase has been made in
the amount of milk solids used for
ice cream in expectation of a heav-
ier-than-usual milk production dur
ing May and June. The increased
quotas will make it easier to han
die the flush production which
comes at time when a shortage
of manpower in many processing
plants makes it difficult for pro-
cessors to make full use of the
milk supply.

and such milk by-products as cot

olate milk drinks have been raised
for May and June.
Although of temporary nature,
these tw steps will help assure full
utilization of all milk produced
during the PEEK period of milk out

Dear Mother has gone beyond
deaths horizon, far across the
stormy sea, there to wait her chill
dren's coming and she's looking
now for us. Yes, she's waiting for
her children in that home not far
away. If we live as did our moth
er, we will meet her some sweet
day. Oh how sad to us the parting,
how our hearts were made to bleed
on that sad dreary morning her
soul went out to meet the King.
How she loved friends and chill
dren and often wished them well.
And of her mortal love, immortal
tongues will tell soon we'll leave
this world of sorrow and we trust
it won't be roaming till we meet
again our mother in that blessed
Home Sweet Home. Signed: Chill

Because of a shortage of oper-

equipment, thereby contributing
materially to the successful meet
