LUNCH PERIODS Probably
will come outiof the latest
talk about lengthening the lunch
periods OF Federal employees and
subsequently lengthening their
working day y
Such an idea was considered
and then rejected by the Budget
Bureau several years ago as un-
practical. Now, the Senate Civil
Service Committees investigating
staff is studying the matter to see
If anything should be done.
Back of it all is the contention
that many Federal employees take
longer than 80 minutes for lunch.
Consequently, it's argued by some,
should be given IS or so
minutes for lunch and required to
make up the Is or 80 minutes by
later each day or coming
to work earlier in the morning.
Such a proposal IT, adopted.
would be another in the series OF
steps during the past few years
that has made Government Serv-
ice increasingly less attractive
Even Its advocates contend that
there would, be very little actual
saving Of money in the plan. II
would accomplish nothing but a
lowering of ernploye morale and
decreased production.
It's very doubtful that the SEN
ate group or the Administration
will go for such an idea. Besides
a longer workday would compli-
cate traffic still more in the rush
hours, so that tr..ffic officials here
frown on it. OF course. those en-
ployes who work in the buildings
where there are no cafeterias anc
who have to walk a considerable
distance to a. restaurant, might
welcome a longer lunch hour. anc
they should be given it If they SC
request. But the majority oi
Federal employees here do not want
their workday tampered with.

WHEN | SEE STARS
BY JOSEPHINE J. TAYLOR

When see stars flung so magnificently into space,
Each crystal one in its appointed place,
My heart leaps high, my troubles lose their SPELL
These sentinels of night
Do not at random trace their span!
Each is part Of universal plan!
When 1 see stars know that all is well;
For if some power can hold billion stars in place
And at the same time,
Make the marble that moulds statues face,
Or know the secrets in the bricks
That make the buildings TALL
Then that same power can also hold me- too
And guide my every step and all l do.

GODS WARNING FOR US TO PRAY

GODS WARNING FOR US TO PRAY
Dear people of this generation,
You better watch your daily affairs.
God is on His throne watching,
If we do or how we say our daily prayers.
The world cries out for Peace,
But the Bible says there will be none,
Because this world is growing so wicked
He will soon send His only son.
1t is like the days of Noah,
When he 120 years did warn,
But they only laughed at him, to scorn.
It's very sad and serious time.
It will be good to have the churches open
Each and every day, for those whose
Hearts are molting them down, to pray
and pray.
So please get yourselves ready
For that awful reckoning day
To those who will not listen,
When He is waiting for us to pray
And seek our own souls salvation,
Each and everyone
Please stop and take notice
Before our day is done.
