First Bricks Shipped
From Jennings Plant

Effective April |, employees of the
Union Fire Brick company, operating
on Jennings road, four miles from
Grantsviile, were granted voluntary
wage increase, making the wage scale
at the plant the highest for any brick
manufacturer in the country, accord
ing to f c. Strickland, vice president
in charge of operations.
The lowest rate now paid at the
new plant, is nincty-one and a half
cents an hour for common labor, with
piece workers able to earn $12 to SIS
a day, Strickland explained The
minimum rate at the plant is nine and
one-half cents an hour higher than
the minimum paid in any plant in
Western Maryland, he added.
First Brick Shipped
The first car load of brick made at
the new brick plant was shipped
yesterday, Strickland stated, al
though production got underway last
month. However, no brick was ship
ped until it was fully determined that
the brick was first quality, and that
the plant is operating and producing
satisfactorily.
Construction Of the plant started
about eighteen months ago, after
Part Of a similar operations at Mt
Savage was abandoned and sold.
The new plant considered by manu-
facturers as the most modern plant
in the country, has production capa-
city of twenty million bricks a year,
or more bricks than 225 men could
produce at the old Mt Savage brick
yard. There are forty-seven people
employed in the Grantsville operation.
The brick plant is almost complet-
" automatic, and is said to have cost
more than a million dollars to con-
stluct and put in operation.
Built in what was once just corn
field, the plant is adjacent to a large
seam of fire clay, which is under a
seam Of fair quality coal. The clay
is reached in stripping operation,
with the top and the sub-soil removed,
the coal taken out and then the clay
reached. Strickland explained that
the coal mining operation pays for
mining the clay, thus reducing the
costs and enabling the company to
pay higher wages.

THIS country is short of in
L dustrial fats, mighty short.
The supply is so low that the
government must decide how
much fat can be released to
make soap; how much for other
peacetirne goods. The shortage
would be even worse without
the wonderful help American
housewives are giving by turn
ing in used fats.
Keep saving to tide us over
this emergency. 1t will help
YOU get more soaps and other
products you want so much.

MILTON LARKIN TO PLAY FOR
DANCE GIVEN TO HONOR
VISITING TEACHERS MARCH %
NAT Qottsopapa) TOWLEs TO PLAY
FOR VETERANS DANCE APRIL 2

According to promoters, Willie j.
Miller and Edward Lee. full pro-
gram of dance entertainment has
been planned for the coming weeks
at the New Colored Skating Rink
outstanding among these dances
will be the one honoring all Teach
ers who will be in attendance at the
Mississippi Association of Teachers
in Coloreds Schools. FRIDAY night
March 90 at which MILTON. LAR
KIN AND HIS ORCHESTRA will
furnish the music, and the dance
honoring VETERANS OF WORLD
WAR 2 and their company, on Tues
day night, April 2, and at which
NAT GOTTSAPAPA) TOWLES
TOWELS AND HIS ORCHESTRA
will furnish the music.
The Teachers dance, and it is so
called, because inspite of the fact
that it will be a dance to which all
dance and music lovers of the state
are invited, special honor will be
given visiting teachers, will draw
a large crowd, because there are
few music and dance lovers who
are not acquainted with Milton Lar
kin and his fine personal ability as
an entertainer, as we'll as the sem
sational music makers who make
up his super band.
Styled as the "Jitterbug King"
MILTON LARKIN will play the
kind of music that will delight all
ages.
For those who do not care to
dance, special seats have been pro-
vided at an additional low cost.
ON TUESDAY NIGHT APRIL
2, brought back by more than popu-
lar request, NAT TOWLES will
play for the first dance given in
Jackson to pay tribute and honor
to the returning Veteran, the men
to whom we all owe praise and gra-
titude.
