Programs For
Delphians Are
OF Interest

Miss Harriet Eyler most ably
presented a review of the delight
full book, Good Morning Miss
Dove" by Frances Gray Patton,
for sixteen members of London
Delphian Society and two guests,
Mrs. Esther Gallagher and Miss
Dorothy Gibson, at the home of
Mrs. Ralph o. Whitaker, North
Main Street, Monday evening. Mrs.
D. H, Jackman, president, intro
duced Miss Eyler following a short
business Session.
Frances Gray Patton, southern
author from North Carolina, ac-
cording to Miss Eyler, has written
an American small town classic
whose principal character, a school
teacher in the town of Liberty Hill,
is lovingly and beautifully Great
ed. There was no uncertainty about
Miss Dove. You could count on her
as on the suns rise, the coming of
spring or the near roundness of
the globe itself, according to the
author. She was feared and she
was loved; everyone had the
never-to- -be-forgotten experience of
some few years in her classroom,
and not one had come through un-
affected. Very literally she was a
part of the life of every one in Lib
erty Hill. Miss Doves experiences
are most realistic as related by the
author, and although her attitude
is strict and rigid, all who passed
within her domain are said to have
retained a love and respect for her.
After the program, members and
guests enjoyed delicious refresh
ments served by the hostess.
At previous meeting of Del
phians at the home of Mrs. c. A.
Holton, during the holidays, Mrs.
Jackman presented Miss Gertrude
Won Riesen, whose program sub
ject concerned an article from
The Christian Century" by AL
fred Luccock, that described a
mythical shopping expedition. Fol-
lowing this Miss Won Riesen spoke
inspiringly on the collections OF
"Madonnas" both in pictures and
figurines. Her collection contains a
lovely statue of the Madonna and
Child from Bavaria. A modern
painting of a stone church in Nor
way offered a present day touch.
Refreshments and a social hour
followed.

LABOR VIEWS

for the II weeks used up.
Question: What effect do short
workweeks have on the work.
er's protection against full
| week layoffs?
Answer: None at all.
The two guarantees operate in
dependently, although the short
workweek - 40 hour = guarantee
is necessary to prevent employers
from escaping their obligations un-
der the other guarantee by cutting
back to a a. day or 3-day week in
order to avoid laying off workers
for full weeks.
A worker who is given less than
40 hours work in any week will
not only receive full pay for that
week but will also be entitled to
full credit for the week in build
ing his guarantee rg1ts up to the
52-week maximum on the basis of
the 1-for-2 ratio. Furthermore, pay
received by the worker under the
40-hour guarantee will not reduce
the number of weeks he is guar
anteed against full-week layoffs.

repeated long layoffs have on

Answer: That depends on the
length of the layoffs.
In any company that is not
steadily reducing the number of
workers employed, the plan pro-
vides reasonable assurance that
once a worker has built up So
weeks of guarantee credit, he will
rarely, if ever, lose a weeks in
come. For example, under the l.
for-2 ratio, such worker could be
laid off for as many as IL weeks in
every year, year after year, and
never go without either pay check
or a guarantee check. In the re-
manning weeks of each year (35 in
