Some of the cotton surplus, which
for years has been a burden on the
back of cotton farmers, is now being
turned into clothes on their back in
stead.
There are 2Vz million cotton-grow
ing families in 19 southern States,
great numbers of whom are poor, ill
fed, ill-clothed, and ill-housed, says the
GUIDE. "They get on an average
only $80 a person per year. Many of
them had no home gardens, no milk
cows, no hogs ano no chickens, be
fore the new Cottom Stamp Plan went
into effect.
At the same time there were 10%
million bales of surplus cotton piled
up in warehouses by the U. S. Govern
ment, for which there was no market
Now the Department of Agriculture
says to these families: 'If you agree
to reduce the amount of land used for
cotton, you will receive a payment in
cotton stamps.
'You can take these cotton stamps
to the stores in your community and
buy cotton clothes and cotton house
hold goods with them, or you can buy
cotton goods from certified mail order
houses and mail the stamps in pay
ment.
'Every family—with certain ex
ceptions—can earn a top of $25 worth
of stamps.'
For each pound of cotton cut from
the individual production quota under
the regular cotton program, the Gov
ernment pays the family 10 cents in
'cotton stamps.'
In addition, if the land taken out
of cotton production is used for grow
ing home gardens, the family gets
enough money to buy seed for a gar
den, if they want to use it that way
That makes for healthier and better
balanced diets.
Altogether it is estimated that this
stamp program will take a 575
thousand bale bite into the cotton
surplus, what with the increase in
cotton goods farm families buy and
decrease in cotton grown.
Farmers gain not only in cotton
clothes they can buy and better diets
they can have, but in the extra shove
downward given to the mountainous
surplus of cotton which keeps batting
the price of cotton on the head. And
out of every dollar's worth of cotton
stamps spent for cotton goods, Kf
cents will go to workers and the peo
pie along the line from gins and mills
to retail stores.
'SliVe 'oil
Health With Drj^ Milk
Three and a half ounces of dry
skim milk mixed with 3% cups of
water has the approximate dietary
value of a quart of fluid skim milk
Add 1 Ms ounces of butter to your diet
and you have approximately the same
food values as in a quart of whole
milk.
Dry skim milk has the best keeping
quality and the lowest price of any of
the dried milk products. It is a par
ticularly valuable addition to the diet
of low income families. It supplies
protein, minerals, milk sugar, and
riboflavin at very low cost. However
it does not contain two vitamins
fluid whole milk and butter, vitamins
A and 1.
If your grocer does not handle skim
milk, it may sometimes be obtained
from local bakers and ice cream
manufacturers in small quantities.
The Bureau of Home Economics, U
S. Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C., has published a free
pamphlet for consumers on ways to
utfe dry skim milk.
+c
Ijook To Your Lamps
Lamps—whether lloor lamp
table lamps—should be high enough
to let the light spread and thus make
it unnecessary to work directly under
them. This also permits a lamp to
be used by more than one person at a
time.
Shades should be wide at the base
with a slight taper towards the top
They should extend down far enough
to prevent the light from shining di
roctly into the ey«s. They should be
light on the inside so they reflect
light, and they should not have rrack
in them (intentional or unintentional)
which permit light to shine through
them. In no case should the shade be
so thin that you can see the light
bulb or bowl through it.
Some lamps bear the certification
tag of the Illuminating Engineering
Society (I. E. S.). The 1. E. S. is
professional organization of engineers
who specialize in lighting. The I. E. S
tag on a lamp means that the lamp
gives light of a quality and quantity
which comes up to standards worked
out by illuminating engineers and
which boar their approval. The tag
is also an assurance that certain
safety requirements have been met

Minority Would
(Continued from Page One)
'Report recommends reducing the
maximum contribution rate on taxable
payrolls of employers from 4.0 per
cent to 3.7 per cent.
2.—Minimum rate 0.7 per cent. The
Report recommends reducing the
minimum contribution rate on taxable
payrolls of employers from 1.0 per
cent to 0.7 per cent.
3.—Contribution rates at 0.2 per
cent intervals. Present contribution
rates under the merit rating system
are 1.0 per cent, 1.5 per cent, 2.0 per
cent, 2.5 per cent, 3.0 per cent, and
4.0 per cent. The Report proposes
to reduce the gaps between rates by
a schedule beginning at 0.7 per cent,
0.9 per cent, 1.1 per cent and so on
up to 2.9 per cent, with the maximum
rising from 2.9 per cent to 3.7 per
cent.
4.—Maximum excess ratio of 12.0
per cent. In order to make it easier
for more employers to enjoy the mini
mum rate of 0.7 per cent, the Report
proposes that the present provision—
which requires an excess of contribu
tions over benefits charged equal to
15.0 per cent or more of the employ
er's average annual payroll—be re
duced to 12.0 per cent or more.
5.—Minimum excess ratio of (i.9 per
cent. In order to insure that fewer
employers with some excess of con
tributions over benefits charged will
pay the highest rate for such em
ployers, the Report proposes that the
present provision—some excess but
under 8.0 per cent—be changed to an
excess of 6.9 per cent or less.
6.—Excess ratios at 0.5 per cent
intervals. In order to make it easier
for more employers to enjoy reduced
rates under the merit-rating provis
ions, the Report recommends that the
excess ratios drop at 0.5 per cent in
tervals, instead of the 2.0 and 3.0 per
cent intervals provided in the present
Law.
Although the recommendations for
contribution reductions were proposed
through the merit-rating provisions of
the Law, the Report indicated that
"In themselves, these recommend
ations imply neither an endorsement
nor a rejection of the principle of
merit rating."
The public members signing the
minority Report promised to issue an
additional Report within a week deal
ing with the manner of computing a
claimant's weekly benefit amount. This
additional Report, they indicated
would recommend a single, specific
formula applicable to all claimants
and would be offered as their solution
to the controversy which has raged
for more than two years over this
issue- I

Seven years ago or so we had six

There is still much dissatisfaction

problem that should be recognized and
some adjustments made.

Mr. Woll appealed to the working
men and women of America to join in
the effort to aid their fellow worker
in Great Britain. The money thus
raised will go directly and promptly
to Britain for distribution to the fain

been made destitude and homeless as
a result of bombings.
"American labor will, I know, re
spond to this appeal and forge an
even stronger link of fraternal soli
darity with the heroic workers of
Rritain," Mr. Woll concluded.

ation and standing for honesty and
square dealing with a reputation of
many years of cooperating with their
employers without strikes and with
the reputation of having done more
good with the money paid into it than
perhaps any other organization, the
N. B. of O. P. deserves the support
of every potter.
The records are there for any mem
her to investigate and in addition to
building up a defense fund, the organ
izatiou gives a death insurance and
sanitorium treatment for two afflict
ions so common to potters. Is there
need of such a union in sanitary pot
teries? Do the heads of sanitary
potteries, where we have an organ
ization, appreciate the value of the
men who belong? We know the men
we have in our union and we also
know a few things about some who
are not with us.

Emphasizing the hardships suf
fereel by thousands of workers from
responding to advertisements of cer
tain employers for thousands of men
when jobs are available for only a
few hundred, Mr. Green pointed out
that these hardships can be avoided
by registering with the local offices
of the State Employment Service,
which in cooperation with the trade
unions "are seeing to it that regis
trants are not victimized by long
journeys to apply for jobs that do
not exist.
"Thus the Government," Mr. Green
concluded, "is endeavoring to wipe
out the kind of practices which bring
hardship and suffering to the work
ers, and clog the wheels of produc
tion. It is offering to workers and
employers a free service which should
bring to the factory doors qualified
men and women for the jobs inside.
And it is finding jobs for our un
employed.
'I know I speak for the workers
of this country when I pledge co
operation in this nation-wide regis
eration which is now going on. It is
to the interest of people who are
looking for work to register where
they may hope to find work. But
it is their high privilege as well, when
by so doing they sign up as ready
when their country needs their skill."
