Victorious British and Canad-
ians all but ended the flaming
battle for Southwest Holland to-
day as remnants of the German
18th Army, protected by
shroud of heavy fog which
grounded Allied planes, began
their flight across the Mas
(Meuse) river.
A British spokesman said only
continued bad weather could
save the Germans from merci-
less pounding by air to make
the flight as costly as possible.
Nazi Field Marshal Gen. Wal
Their Won Model, whose Army
originally was estimated at l20,-
900, was believed to have had
some 10000 troops below the
Mas. Front dispatches said he
left 10000 or more along the
south bank in an attempt TO re-
tard the Allied advance.
British forces which captured
Roosendaal, last major coastal
corner stronghold of the Ger
mans in Holland, advanced
toward Willemstad and Moer-
dix against the Nazis' main
Mas crossings by road and rail
bridges.

Canadians have crushed Nazi
resistance on the south bank of
the Schelde Estuary and on

Navy musicians in this war man the
guns as well as play. While manning
their stations the entire band of the
Harbor on December 7, 1941. Their fate
proved that musicians are capable Of
assuming duties in fields entirely un-
related to their own.
Much of this is due to the work Of
the Navy School of Music. whose aim is
to put a fighting 23-piece band aboard
every ship and shore station flying the
United States flag Their range of &C.
tivities may extend from handling mod
ern ordnance with skill and precision to
bearing stretchers in the heat of battle
quickly returning then to their basic
duty, music.
These unit bands are an improvement
on the regular fleet bands" which were
composed many times of whatever musi-
cal talent was then available This
"hodge- -podge" of good and bad players,
the replacement problem resulting from
transfers and expiration of enlistments,
and the desire to raise the standard of
music and musicians were the chief rea-
sons for the Nays action in establish
ing the school of music.
Training Musicians
incidentally, the Navy School of Music
must not be confused with the Navy
Band, permanent organization which
provides music for events Of military
nature in the Nations Capital The
school Of music is concerned only with
the job Of training musicians for duty
with the fleet.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.-Aircraft work.
ers here are waiting for no man to do
their postwar planning. They've taken
into their own hands the fashioning of
an economic cushion against the day
that war production nose-dives.
Seven hundred employees of North
American Aviation, Inc, are forming
company which they expect to pro-
vide an investment income and give
many Of them jobs after the war. 1t
will fabricate things Of plastics-auto-
mobile dashboards, end tables, wom-
ems lapel ornaments and perhaps bath
room fixtures, flooring and even houses.
Each of the TOO has promised to buy
one share of stock for 500. Thus the
company will have starting capital
of $4,000. No individual can buy more
than one share, and only stockholders
will be eligible for employment. The
group is applying for incorporation
papers and already has a building Sc
lected for its proposed LOS Angeles
Plastic Corp"
The project was launched by Hugo
Stainbrook, 27, a pleasant, articulate,
former Cedar Rapids farm boy and
Iowa Teachers College student. A
North American employe for six and
half years, he's an analyst in the plants
methods department, helping to de-
.rt int -
production ideas suggested by workers.

translate this principle into q service
for all types Of business. &
He reasoned this way: An electrician
in business for himself is out Of touch
with his customers while out on call.
Wouldn't he like to arrange TO have his
telephone calls answered? II important
for a doctor, why not also for lawyer,
a carpenter, sign painter, an under
taker?
Mr.. Wesley was spurred on to these
thoughts because he had been out of
work several months. Deciding there
was nothing to lose. he started his
venture and called it the Telephone
Message Bureau. He opened an Office
in his three-room basement apartment
at sos H street NV. and gradually
built up the business until today
nearly so individuals and firms are his
clients. An electrician, lawyer, carpen-
ter, sign painter and undertaken are
among them.
One Of Mr.. Wesley's most active GUS
toners is an elevator repair company
This firm gives 24-hour-a-day service
for hundreds of elevators all over the
city. When an elevator stops between
floors, imprisoning the unlucky pas
sengers, it's Mr.. Wesley who sees that
they get out. The elevator repair COM
pany's client gets In touch with Mr..
Wesley-Mr. Wesley gets In touch with
the mechanic on duty at the time-and
before long the elevator is shipshape
again.
TITS quite a responsibility" Mr.. Wes-
ley said.
Thirteen of Mr.. Wesleys II are ex-
tension telephones from business Of
fees. When call is placed to the firm,
both the phone in the company's Office
and the one In Mr.. Wesley's Office ring
at the same time. Under an arrange
ment worked out between Mr.. Wesley
and his customers, he answers on the
fourth ring. That's his signal the Gus

Aircraft Workers Plan
Own Plastics Plant

Aircraft production naturally will
drop off sharply after the war;" he
says. "Our idea is to absorb as much
as possible of the unemployment.
I'VE hope to make one of the great
est plastics industries in Southern Cali
fornia. Plastics have shown in the war
that they can take over in emergen-
cies, replacing critical metals. A lot
of things will go back into steel and
aluminium after the war, but plastics
are going to hold their own and even
expand. ,S
II think we may even see houses of
plastics, which would have the color
mixed in and not have to be painted.
Complete plastic airplanes are another
possibility. Some plastics now equal
steel in tensile strength. When used
for flooring, plastics retain warmth over
long periods.
For plastics, the sky's the limit"
Assembly crews, Office staff workers,
foremen and virtually all other groups
Of plane workers, both men and women,
have signed as prospective stockholders.
The company will not have president
but will be guided by an executive board
of nine vice presidents, none of whom
may hold Office longer than two years.
Stainbrook will be vice president in
charge of production and personnel.
Lou Tillery, former salesman who
now tolls in aircraft final assembly, will
be vice president in charge Of sales and
advertising. Warren Burkhardt, now in

CHICAGO-Ive spent day in q
dream Office; and I'm sore all over;
black and blue from pinching myself
It started when phoned Otto Eisen-
schiml to ask about visiting his scien-
tific oil compounding company and he
said, "Of course, won't you come for
breakfast"
That breakfast, prepared by the COM
pany's full-time cook, was just the first
chapter of a fantastic business day:
Luncheon, card games, gifts of per-
fume; a background of shopping tours,
bonuses and Happiness funds"-and,
of course, work.
It's Eisenschimls idea that anticipa-
ton and surprise are the most impor-
tant factors IN keeping employees con-
tented. 1t works out like this:
The newest of the nine women in the
Office, each in charge of department,
has been there four years, the oldest
90. There never has been a pay cut
salaries run up to SIPS week-or a
temporary layoff. Eisenschiml himself
says You practically have to commit
murder to get fired"
He applies the surprise" idea even
TO bonuses. Regular bonuses, handed
out at fixed times during the year, are
dynamite" he believes.
"If the business makes money, the
employees think they are being given
as little as the company can give and
get by, and If the company loses money,
it can't afford bonuses of the same size
as the previous year. Either way you
have discomfort" So his girls never
know when bonuses are coming, nor
how much.
ut depends on his mood" one work.
er said. For two weeks we may have
bonus every other day, If he is feel
ing good, or has some good news. Then
again, there may not be any for two
months. 1t just depends on his mood.
He's very moody man"
Eisenschirnl established the "happi-
ness fund" from the companys payroll
reserve years ago when one of the girls
burst into tears at breakfast, told o. E.
her purse, containing the pay she had
received only the day before, had been
stolen.
At lunch that same day purse re-
sembling the one she had lost, stocked
with cosmetics, a handkerchief and a
new paycheck, was at her place at the
table. The other employees, who hadn't
lost anything, received bonuses, too.

Hollywood was right, after all. You
remember the movie version Of the
high-powered businessman? He had a
dozen telephones on his desk-an ring
ing at once.
1T couldn't happen In real life-any-

Bertran Wesley, Washington business
man, proves it does happen. In his

said the other day. Don't let any one
tell you the day Of opportunity is past.

The dream that buzzed around in Mr..
Wesleys head had to do with getting to

business wasn't new. Doctors in cities

chuckled. They read the trade maga-

their fingertips."
When business is slack, the force may
knock of for an afternoon to attend
baseball game, play table tennis or
poker in the company game room, or go
shopping.
But when the program calls for work,
they work. From shortly after until
noon, from the lunch hour until pm,
the staff was busy checking orders,
routing tank cars, selling oils, tallying
receipts, testing patches of materials
They interrupted their industry only
long enough to raid the icebox for
drink or snack or to have quick
smoke in the ladies' lounge, where per-
fumes, cosmetics, cartons of cigarettes
were arrayed for their pleasure.
But with all the extra -curricular fea-
lures, the Scientific Oil Compromising
Co., started with one employe in 1911,
is steadily paying proposition in its
field Of compounding and distributing
materials for soaps, paints and var
nishes.
Eisenschiml, born in Vienna of Ameri-
can parents, prefers to be termed &C.
centric, rather than paternalistic; he
is neither a crackpot nor sentimen-
talist. He simply believes in a friend
to-friend relationship with his co-work-
ers, as he calls them, and likes women
in an Office better than men.
Almost every man I ever hired for
Office work tried to double-cross me, "
he says. The only man in the Office
now is his son Gerry.
Eisenschiml doesn't advocate that his
methods should be adopted by all small
businessmen. He says merely that 1t
works for him.
He recalls that, at the time he
founded his first business enterprise.
a credit agency listed him as "a good
chemist but a poor businessman"
They were absolutely right" he says
complacently, If we had a board OF
directors, they'd fire me once week. "

He Makes a Business
Of Answering Phones

when you look over Mr.. wesley,s setup
Is how in Sam Hill he tells which phones
are ringing when several ring at the
same time.
He Knows the Bells
This doesn't offer any particular prob
lem to Mr.. Wesley, who has learned to
distinguish the different sounds Of the
bells. One phone has deep-throated
bell, almost like a gong. Mr.. Wesley
explains this is the most unusual bell he
has ever heard. He figures it's nearly
two octaves lower than the average.
when hear 1t, I'm never sure
whether it's the phone or some one at
the door," he said. Mr.. wesley's door
bell Is wired to elaborate chimes which
he bought at local department store.
Rather sheepishly. Mr.. Wesley admit
ted there was another trick to knowing
which phone to answer when several
ring at the same time. He explained
that his own four phones are District
0122. 0123, ol24 and 0125. They ring in
consecutive order. The first, to ring,
District 0122, is the phone that, has the
chimelike bell. Thus, when several
phones ring at the same time, and the
chime note is not among them, Mr.
Wesley knows Immediately that none OF
his own four phones is ringing. That
narrows the field to 13, which is help.
The exasperating part Of Mr.. Wesley's
business Is that people persist In believ-
ing he's the businessman they want to
talk to rather than just the interme-

This rapid progress soon demanded
the removal of the school from its old

January, 1943, and located at the re-
ceiving station. Treated throughout with
accoustical tile, the new school contains

rooms, two separate libraries for con-

Sometimes they say. You promised
you'd be here at O'Clock and here it is,
almost II, and you're not here yet
No matter what the request, Mr..
Wesley never gets excited, or angry. He
just explains kindly and patiently that
he doesn't do the work-that he just
answers the phone and takes the
message.
The job calls for another kind Of
diplomacy, too. Mr.. Wesley represents
several persons in the same line Of
BUSINESS. When call comes In, the
customer may merely say: "I'd like to
have my radio repaired"
Then It's Mr.. Wesley's job to find out
which of his radio repair clients the
customer wants. This doesn't offer any
serious difficulty, he points out, but it is
one of the problems you have to contend
with. Mr.. Wesley is scrupulously fair,
and would send no repairman out at

Passersby Look Startled
A year ago Mr.. Wesley moved his
home and business to an abandoned
printing shop at 1888 Fifth street NV.

desk right inside the storerooms plate

startled as they glance at the II

Entrance Requirements
Entrants to the school must first join
the Navy for six-year enlistment Pc
riod. The entrance requirements are
strict, and the training Is comparable
to the finest conservatory in the coun-
try. This has lead many Of the best
musicians in America from both concert
and jazz backgrounds, to enlist. In the
school at present are, for example: Err
win Price, trombonist, formerly with
the Philadelphia Orchestra; Jesse Try
on, violinist and winner of the National
Federation Of Music Clubs award in
1899; Ernest Harrison, Rochester SYM
phony oboist, and John Paul, former
faculty member of Occidental College.
Los Angeles.
The study curriculum comprises two
courses, basic and advanced. The for
mer is for those without previous sea
duty. First requirement is proficiency
on an instrument. Band leaders take
the advanced course, because their six
years sea duty has equipped them to
lead a group of musicians unfamiliar
with life aboard ship.
This system of training both band
master and musician in the same en-
vironment has brought dividends in
well-knit bands. The close association,
while still in training, acquaints the
bandmaster with the various tempera-
ments with which he will work. The
replacement problem is obviated, too,
as the band is transferred and kept as
unit, for the entire six-year period of
enlistment. Because Of these unifying
factors, the band units are capable of
playing higher grade concert and dance
