Bluftoh Firm s Trademark
KnOwh Around The World

The English will tell you that the
sun never set on the British Empire,
and a Blufkonite might reply that
where ever the sun shipes on the face
of the earth, the Triviett trademark
may be found.
Triplett people are proud of the
fact that samples of the Bluffton
firms engineering and workmanship
can be found from the Arctic Circle
to the South Pole, and from New
foundland to the South Seas, on land,
in the air and on the sea. t~
1t is an interesting fact that the
mark which all Triplett instruments
carry was designed in his youth
by the man on whose Shoulders the
responsibility has come to rest of

mark to the widespread corners of
the earth. The trademark was de-
signed by Norman Triplett, now

Uptown Window Display Shows TripIett
Product Progress From "Then To Now

The vast change in design and
utility of electrical measuring in
struments manufactured in the Bluff
ton plant of Triplett during the past
so years, and the comprehensive line
of products now being marketed on a
nationwide scope are shown in store
window displays on Main street this
week.
The displays have been arranged
by the Triplett company and the
Bluffton Business Mems association
in the windows of The Basinger
Furniture store and the Lape Comp
ny directly across the street from
each other on North Main street.
One of the Basinger windows shows

were manufactured at different per-

meter manufactured by R. L. Triplett
in watch cases. The display also in

by the firm.

Norman designed the mark while
he was attending college and working
in spare time at the company's draft
ing board.I The unique trademark
using the company's name carries
all of the distinctive component parts
of an electric meter. Look closely al
the trademark and you will find: l. a
pointer, 2. scale, 3. the magnet, and
4. the moving coil.
The pointer can easily be seen ex-
tending up from the letter "P" and il
forms a pivot giving the whole design

scale of an instrument. Going back
to the letter "Re, note the open place

Triplett Jobs
Aid Students At
Bluffton College

Employment opportunities at the
Triplett Electrical Instrument compa-
ny have often been helpful to students

cation at Bluffton college, records of

When students have difficulty fin

fee to find some. type of part time
employment at the "meter works"
This has been mutually advantag-
eous, particularly during the rush of
war orders and in the early part of
the post war period when a shortage
of help at the plant was a serious
problem.
Often the employment of Bluffton
College students has provided an
aspect of friendly foreign relations.
Because of the number of foreign
students attending the college, these
have often been the students seeking
extra employment
Last year two young ladies from
the war-torn Holy Land worked
afternoons in Department 55 at the
plant in order to earn money to help
them through school. The women
were Evelyn Suhweil and Naimeh
Mukarkar of Jerusalem. They had
given up teaching positions in an
American girls school in Jerusalem
in order to continue their education
here.
Although their families were both
wealthy at one time, they were i'm
poverished due to the war between
the Arabs and Jews.
At other times students from
Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Cuba, Canada,
Spain and Alaska have been employ
ed at the plant.

whole incident, from Peress right
through, so we'll know the facts, so
we can handle things better in the
future This is sort of a new
kind of problem: you wouldn' t

the draft just because he says he
is Communist"
Here Wilson was referring to an
other of the several thorny points
which confront the military, par
tlcularly in enlisted ranks.
The policy, as it stands now, is
that if a volunteer for enlistment
refuses to state whether he has
or has had Communist connections,
he is refused acceptance by the
Army. If a draftee comes up for
induction and refuses to answer
the questions he is indicted, but
assigned to a nonsensitive (no mil
itary security involved) job.

doctor or dentist who was drafted
or ordered to active duty. This
meant that the military wanted the
current law changed so that it
wouldn't by mandate, have to COM
mission these men but could hold
them in service, as enlisted men,
in such security-free jobs as drill
ing teeth or dispensing pills.
Mccarthy told his Senate inves-
itigations subcommittee yesterday
he is ready to show from test-
mony the Army has had "a very
contradictory system" of handling
personnel suspected of Communist
connections.
He said PeresS got an honorable
discharge, while a private who told
his superiors he broke with COM
munism as a teen-ager in high
school got less than honorable
discharge, another private was
kept in service although he refused
to answer questions about COM
munism and still another, doctor,
was assigned to duty at hospital
but denied an officers commission.

Wilson was questioned yester.
day at a news conference about
the case of Maj. Irving Peress,

Wilson'S comment stirred Nc
Carthy, who only a few minutes
before had vowed he was "all
through" issuing statements, to
retort that "no one has ever
claimed that the Army as such
is coddling Communists" But,
Mccarthy insisted, testimony had
established that "certain individ-
uals in the Army have been pro-
tecting, promoting, covering up
and honorably discharging known

Because McCarthy's was the
final statement of the day, there
was no immediate indication
whether Wilson did or did not
agree.
But in his news conference,
devoted this week to the sole sub
ject of communism, he did say:

ton of report recommending a
substantial salary increase.
This report was presented to
President Eisenhower and other
top government officials Jan. Is
by an 18-member commission on
judicial and congressional salaries
set up by Congress last year.
The commission recommended
hiking the pay of senators and
House members by $12,5OO to

federal judges which would mean
salaries ranging from $27, 800 for
district judges up to $4,000 for

to $25, 500.
The law creating the commits
