 The members of the office force held 8 meeting the other noon to discuss the possibilities of having Saturday afternoon off-like the shop and yard IS going to have. Pros and cons were heard and 1t was decided to have the Union take up the matter with the man. agement. The Pay Department and the drafting rooms are going on the new schedule, so we hear, but the rest of the main office has had no chance to be heard on the ques- ton. Several times in the past of- flee union representatives have brought the question of coming in to work earlier and going home sooner to the attention of the man. agement but were turned down cold with few or no practical req sons. It Is this writer's opinion that this is the thing to work for rather than Saturday afternoon off. I would rather get home earlier ev- cry afternoon than have an upset half day off.

Hours to
 Change on Monday May 8

Tn compliance with recent bal- loting by workers at the plant, the new schedule of hours will go in- to effect on Monday morning, May 9th. It is believed that this change in hours has an excellent chance if given a fair trial, to solve the problem of many years standing with reference to satisfactory hour schedule to both the first and second shift. The obvious chief advantage in the change will be to give the second shift employees both Saturday and Sunday nights off. All those who have ever worked on the second shift can greatly appreciate the numerous resulting advantages.
 Moreover, 1t will mean a great deal to the first shift workers foe weekend travel, trips and vaca- tions.

proposals have been too hurriedly
prepared, so that there was in
adequate opportunity for public dis
cussion. Certainly this criticism
cannot be lodged against the pre-
sent bill. We began our public dis
cussions more than a year ago.
We have continued them without
cessation since that time. There
has been every possible opportunity
for examination Of the plan and
we have especially invited the
comments of those who might or
dinarily be inclined to oppose an
extension proposal. If there is
any really valid objection to the
present plan which can be raised
in the interest of the general pub
lie good and which has not al
ready been raised and which we
have not ATTEMPTED to meet ane
adjust fairly and squarely, we can
not ina CINE what it is.
THE reason for the existence O.
any city government is that there
are certain necessary facilities
and services which can be pub

The annexation bill was com
pleted after more than a year OF
study and numerous conferences
conducted by the Planning Board.
In joint statement, the Council
and Planning Board said:
TT is great pleasure to us
to be able to present a bill which
we believe resolves at last most Of
the conflicting points of view on
the question of extension Of the
city limits. We have worked hard
on the bill during the past year
starting at a conference held last
December. We have met on a
number Of occasions with repre-
sentatives Of the suburbs and with
the City Limits Extension Commit
tee Of the Wilmington Chamber OF
Commerce. We have presented the
subject at meetings of all the clubs
and organizations which were will
ing to hear us. We have made an
honest effort TO work out a bill
which will be acceptable to the
citizens Of the areas to be incor-
porated and which at the same
time will take in only those Sec
tons which can be economically
served by the City. With this in
mind we have roted carefully the
objections presented against pre-
vious extension plans, and have
tried to eliminate these objections.
I'VE are convinced that this bill
is reasonably fair. We have been
eager to ascertain the views of all
citizens, both within and without
the present limits. We sincerely
commend the bill to the public and
we urge its passage by the as
