WageBoard Approves
Special Bonus Based
On Previous Years

The Wage Sterilization Board
today approved the granting of
special bonuses to workers at
Christmas and other times.
The board said an employer may
grant bonuses provided that has
been his custom and the total
amount does not exceed Is per
cent Of a workers annual pay.
Immediately after the WSB
announcement, the Salary Stabi-
lization Board, which sets policy
for control of pay for those not
represented by unions, said en-
ployers should follow Wage Board
regulations on payment of bonuses
pending drafting of their own
rules
The WSB regulation gives auto
matte approval to customary bonus
practices, with some limitations.
These would restrict automatic
approval to those bonuses which
are paid once or twice a year,
such as prof1t-sharing or Christ
mas bonuses.
If the bonus is paid oftener
than every three months or have
a direct relationship to the num-
Der of hours worked or units pro-
duced or sold by the worker, 1t
would have to have specific ap-
proval from the board. Applica-
tons for approval are to be sub
mitted to the nearest office of the
Wage-Hour Division of the Labor
Department.
If new plan bonus is started, it
would have to follow the lines of
the last bonus or would have to
be considered as offsetting> any
wage increase up to 10 per cent
above January, 1850, levels. In
order to bring the plan under the
boards blanket approval, it must
have been in continuous operation
since January Is, 1949, or have
been provided for in a contract
made before the wage freeze of
last January Is, or have been ex-
planned to the employees before
that deadline.

The churchmen's appeal is an
other follow-up on the so-called

the World Peace Council" staged
by the Communists In East Berlin

manded that a pact of peace be
signed by the five big powers, in
Guiding Communist China.

Life in the Country
Hen Uses Auto as Nest,
Gets Nervous When Car Is Gone

We have funny sort of a
hen on The 40 Acres. She insists
on laying her daily egg on the back
seat Of the family automobile.
and when the car is gone, she goes
into a mental collapse until it is
returned.
I don't know how 1t all got
started, but now see her of an
afternoon walking around the au-
Itomobile. She circles it couple of
times, then flies up to an open
window. She stands there for
little while, ruff1ing her feathers,
and then jumps casually down into
the back seat to deposit her egg.
After the egg-laying Is over, she
Icackles a few times, hops back
through the window and goes her
way about the place.
Some times the car is not in its
usual place. and there is much pro-
test from the hen. She doesn't
know what to make of it, and runs
wildly around where the car ought
to be making terrible racket.
Once or twice, when the car hasn't
returned in time, she has lost her
egg on the hard gravel of the
driveway.
Another time, some unthought-
full person left the car window
glass raised, and the hen was in a
complete muddle. She couldn't, for
the life of her, understand why
she couldn't get through her win
dow. She could see through it, of
course. but there seemed to be
some impenetrable film that held
her out.
This probably was worse than
not having the car, because she
almost went into a nervous fit be-
fore some one about the place saw
her and let down the car window.
One of our visitors said we
would have to see to it that the
car remains parked In the drive
way, or we will have a neurotic
hen on our hands. And what
could be worse?
