Strike Reflected In
Celotex Earnings

Chicago - Net earnings of The
Celotex Corporation in the six
months ended April 80, 1852, re-
flecting curtailed operation be-
cause of strike at its plant at
Marrero, Louisiana, were $119, ,766
after provision for income taxes.
compared with earnings of 81, ,594,-
276 after taxes in the correspond
ing period the year before, o S.
Mansell, president, reported to
stockholders last week Sales dec
lined from SGT ,898,6O6 to $2o,926,
222.
This results in no per share earn
ings on common stock in the per-
iod, compared with earnings in
the first six months of the 1851
fiscal year, after preferred divi-
dennd payments, equal to $1.61 a
share on 905,472 shares of COM
mon stock outstanding.
"The six months income" Man
sell said, reflects the severe dis
tortion in operating results dur
ing the second quarter caused by
ten-week strike that completely
closed our main plant located at
Marrero. In the last eight weeks
of this fiscal period, the strike
caused a, decrease of more than
$4,000,000 in net sales. Our net
income therefore reflects the loss
of profit that would have resulted
from these sales, and the absorp-
ton of operating costs normally
chargeable to such lost volume as
we'll as extra expenses incident to
the strike.

Fresh Garden Goods
Dress Up Salads

A salad on the table is vel
come treat these summer days
With gardens beginning to come
into their own we can have a
tempting salad twice day.
Three important "musts" are re-
quired for a good salad. The found
alton or green must be cool and
crisp. This is best achieved by
washing the green's soon after they
reach the kitchen and placing them
in plastic bag or hydrator in the
refrigerator.
The second must" is a pleasing
combination of foods. Foods that
taste we'll together, look we'll to-
gether, and have an interesting
variety of textures Will make the
most tempting salad. Combine
these foods, which should be cut
about bite size, quickly in order
W Keep tneH cool.
A lively dressing will complete
this dish, and make your family
call for more A favorite French
Dressing can be quickly made by
mixing equal parts of oil, vinegar,
and sugar. This dressing can be
varied by substituting lemon or
other fruit juice for the vinegar
Another variation is to add cat
sup to the mixture. Salad dressing
or mayonnaise may be easily var
led too Fruit juice or whipped
cream makes it fine for fruit
salad. Chopped olives, pickles, &C.
lery, and green peppers give a
thousand island sauce. Let's not
forget what a treat fresh garden
lettuce is with chopped onion and
equal parts of hot bacon fryings
and vinegar. Add sugar and salt

For special dressing up" of a
salad add a radish rose, carrot

used in civil defense work. They
will be a part of the local police
departments, and under the com
mand of regular police officers,
their authority to act being pre-
scribed by local law.
Civil defense will need thousands
Of volunteers to carry on the
duties of the Police Service. You
can serve your community by
volunteering today.
Good Communications Essential
No matter what kind Of disaster
strikes your community, much
will depend upon good communica-
tions. In the face Of enemy attack,
the Communications Service would
be the nerve center of civil defense
for it would relay air raid warn
ings promptly, direct fire, police,
rescue, warden, medical, engineer
ing, and other services, and keep
them in touch with one another.
Without this service, headquarters
would not have the information
necessary to control situations
brought on by disaster.
Thousands Of volunteers are
needed to man the communications
network. Any technical training
in radio, television, telegraph, or
telephone work will qualify you
for this service.
Neither sex nor age is q barrier
to volunteering for civil defense.
Retired persons with technical
training are especially valuable,
such as retired policemen and fire.
men. There are many jobs which
women can fill better than men.
Your local civil defense director
will tell you what they are.
(The next article will discuss
more civil defense services.)

RENOVATED
LIBRARY HAS
PLEASING LOOK

The laying of new floor covering
at the public library has been
completed and the marblelized
pattern of brown and gray hues
proves a delightful addition to the
decor. With the light green walls
and darker green woodwork and
the fluorescent lighting, installed
last summer, the public library
is, indeed. a pleasant place to
visit.
Many new books are being re-
ceived daily for the pleasure of
the reading enthusiasts. High on
the list of popularity in the fic-
ton field are Herman Wouk's
"Caine Mutiny', Daphne du Maur-
Sfer's my Cousin Rachel, Erich
Maria Remarque's Spark of Life" !,
Irving Stones 1.-THE. Presidents
Lady" and Mika Waltari's 'The
Wanderer". Waltari is the author
of the extremely popular "The
Egyptian.
Equally absorbing non-fiction
includes "Kon-Tiki" by Thor He
yerdahl, s'I'm A Lucky Guy" by
Frank Gilbreth, Jr., co-author of
Cheaper By The Dozen, "My
Home n The Range" by Marguerite
Wallace Kennedy, "a Man Called
Peter, the story of Peter Marshall,
U. S. Senate Chaplain, whose un
timely death was mourned
throughout government circles in
Washington, written by his wife
Catherine, and Adventures In
Two Worlds, the autobiography
of DR.. A. J. Cronin.
There's nothing quite as relax
ing and entertaining as a good
book on these warm summer days.
The library is a cool and quiet
place to visit and you'll find a
book which will be to your liking
just by stopping by. Thelma Mont
gomery, librarian, and her assist
ants will be pleased to help in
your search for the right" book.

Atomic bombing would cause
great fires in the area Of the burst,
and start hundreds Of small fires in
surrounding areas. With the regu-
lar fire fighting companies fully
occupied by the main fires, people
would have to put out these
smaller fires on the spot. If they
live in target areas they must
know how to fight fires at home
or at work.
At least one member of your
family should be trained in the
use of basic fire fighting tools
and methods. Because women
are at home much of the time,
they are urged to learn how to
put out fires in case Of emergen-
cy. Teaching of householders to
fight fires will be carried out by
instructors trained by their local
fire departments. Auxiliary or
reserve firemen will be recruited
to back up the regular COM
panies. These volunteers will be
trained by local fire companies,
using regular equipment.
Your Warden or your local civil
defense headquarters will tell you
where to volunteer for such train
ing.
Traffic A Big Problem
The biggest police problem in
event Of enemy attack, would be
the control Of traffic. Another big
problem would be maintaining law
and order. These are the most i'm
portant Of the duties which civil
defense volunteers would help per-
form under the Police Service.
Auxiliary police, which many
communities row have to supple

handling parades and crowds on
special occasions, will also be
