The steady growth of the organ
ization is evidence of its great pop
lularity and dependable protection.

Neighbors of America ranks as one

adults who are insured, 26,612 adult
social members and 68,505 insured

approval.
They do not need WLB approval
if the bonus they propose to pay
does not exceed $25 or If the bonus

year." Chairman william H. Davis
said in a statement. Approval Of
new or revised bonus plans will be
virtually impossible under the

The WLB emphasized that under
another amendment to its orders,
employers viii be permitted to hire
an unlimited number Of Christmas

above the minimum range for the
jobs being filled, without disturbing
the year-round hiring schedules for
regular employees.
