STATE TO HOLD
SPEECH CLASS
Smyrna, One of Centrally Lo'
Gated Schools To Receive
Corrective Aid
BROAD NEW PROGRAM

To most people, the process of
speech requires no more thought
than breathing, but there are some
to whom it is skill demanding in
tricate coordination-a skill which
seems impossible to them to attain.
This year something has been done
for some of those children in the
state who have found themselves
in the latter group, for the Grip
pied Children's Service of the State
Board of Health inaugurated a
speech correction program in Feb
ruary of this year and 70 children
received help during the winter
and 40 are being assisted this sum-
mer by Miss Marion L. Gilmore,
speech correctionist. Since many
of the children brought to the
Boards Crippled Children's clinics,
held all over the state, have speech
difficulties, the program was set up
primarily for them and these child
rem are given priority, since it is
impossible for one person to reach
all the children in the state who
need such assistance. During the
past 5 months Miss Gilmore, has
seen $50 children for diagnostic
purposes and is helping those who
need 1t most. The speech clinics

EXPANSION AT
LATEX PLANT
New Plants Expected To Pro-
vide Work For Many in
This Vicinity
EMPLOYEE TRAINING

One of two large new buildings
started by International Latex
Corporation shortly after VI Day
has just been completed, and the
other will be in operation shortly.
These new plants are expected to
provide hundreds of new jobs not
only for the residents of Dover, but
for people living within 40 miles of
that city. The new buildings in
corporate all of the advanced fea-
lures of the original plant, which
was designed from standpoint of
working comfort rather than the
older method of minimum plant
overhead for low production cost.
When Playtex Park was opened in
1887 it represented a novel expert
ment in factory planning. In or
der to achieve high-quality produc-
ton, it was built in such way as
to provide the most ideal working
conditions known to modern indus
try. Air-conditioned, scientifically
lighted, spacious rooms for work
were provided. Because these early
experiments have proven them
selves many times over, this policy
of providing ideal working condi-
tions is being carried over to the
new departments as the various
additions are being completed. De-
claring that ideal working condi-
tions at Playtex Park is the Gold
en- Rule in practice, Mr.. Spaniel,
president of the company, stated
that, 1.-THE constant expansion of
this business is clear proof that the
Golden Rule as way of life in the
business world pays dividends for
employees, management, custom
ers, and the community. AS part
of this policy, supervisors at Play

and lead, rather than to drive and
to demand. Therefore, an harmon
ious and friendly relationship ex-
lists between the employees and
their supervisors. Our adherence
to the Golden Rule in our relations
with our employees and with the
thousands of customers of this
company throughout the world has
resulted in a vast increase in the
demand for our standard products.
More than that, kindred items
have enjoyed immediate accept
ance because of the confidence our
customers have in the integrity of
our company and the ability of our
employees. The high quality of the
products manufactured at Playtex
Park was direct result of the
close cooperation which exists be-
tween management and employees.
This mutual respect for each other
insures continued quality produc-
ton, which means uninterrupted
expansion of the company, and
certainty that more and more jobs
for the people of Dover and its
vicinity will be available. New en-
ployees will continue to be trained
through lectures and demonstra-
tions, both as individuals and in
classroom groups. Such training
will serve to maintain the high
quality of our products, just as our
belief in the Golden Rule will as
