Selective Service
Clerical Workers
Will Be Protected
Positions Will Come Under
Civil Service After
First of Year
While all clerical and stenographic
positions on Selective Service local
Boards in Ohio will be blanketed
junder Civil Service on January 1,
1942, Lt. Col. C. W. Goble, State Se
lective Service Director, today asked
all local boards to give special atten
tion to the fact that the incumbent
personnel must take qualifying ex
aminations to remain in their po
sitions after the January 1, 1942
deadline.
He pointed out that while the ex
ecutive order places the positions in
the classified civil service as of the
Bates prescribed therein, the incum
bents are not automatically given a
plassified civil service status, but they
are given an opportunity to qualify
through non-competitive examination
for such status.
Further, he emphasized that an 111
fcumbent shall bo given only one non
competitive examination, and that
any incumbent "who fails to pass the
non-competitive examination provided
in his case shall be separated from
the service not later than six months
after the commission advises the ap
pointing officer that such employe
has failed."
In this connection the director
urged that present incumbents en
deavor to qualify through some of the
"open competitive examinations which
are announced by the Civil Service
Commission, Sixth District, Cinein
tiati, from time to time. Copies of all
'examination announcements issued by
4he Civil Service Commission are
'posted in all post offices.
Prior to July 1, 1011, under the
terms of the Selective Training and
Service Act of 1!M0, authority was
granted for the appointment of
necessary clerical and stenographic
employes for local boards and the
fixing of their compensation "with
out regard to the classification act of
1023, as amended, and without re
gard to the provisions of the civil
service laws." Enactment of the so
called "Ramspeck Act" and issuance
of an executive order by the Presi
dent, however, necessitates applica
tion of the civil service laws in such
appointments, Director Goble said.
While the specified positions will be
blanketed under civil service, the di
rector further said:
"As a general rule the Civil Serv
ice Commission considers anyone who
passes a competitive examination
an appropriate nature within the five
year period immediately preceding
the classification of a position as
qualified, and will not require the in
cumbent to take further non-com
petitive examination. A person may
file for as many competitive exami
nations as he may desire.
"While only one non-competitive
examinations is given an incumbent,
numerous other competitive examina
tions of a clerical nature will be an
nounced between now and .January 1,
1!)42. It is again urged that present
incumbents endeavor to u a 1 i y
through such competitive examina
tions, rather than to risk their sole
chance on a single non-competitive
examination, which is required, in the
act, after Janimry 1, 1!M2.
"Should any incumbent of a local
board clerical position now have an
eligible status for appointment in the
classified service, such as a status of
eligibility for reinstatement by rea
son of prior government service, or
eligibility for prohational appoint
ments on some current Civil Service
Commission register of eligibles, the
PKILCO MH-6

HOW JAZZ IS MADE!
Jones was feeling queer, so he went
to a doctor. The doctor, however,
failed to diagnose the trouble.
"I'll tell you what to do," he said
after a while. "Wrap a piece of pa
per round yourself and prick it in
every place you feel a pain."
Jones did this, but when on the fol
lowing day he came to look for the
paper he found it missing.
"Have you seen a roll of paper any
where?" he asked his wife.
"Why, yes," she replied. "I put it
on the pianola and it played 'The Last
Round-Up.'"
ACCOMMODATING
The widow of a farmer was being
consoled by a neighboring farmer,
who happened to be a widower.
•"Cheer up, woman," he said. "Ye're
young yet and good-lookin', an' you
could soon get another husband."
"Oh, no, no," she replied "who
woulel take me?"
"Why, if 1 had a better pair o'
boots on, I'd run away wi' ye myself!"
said the widower, gallantly.
The widow, lifting her face and
wpiing her eyes, said, earnestly, "I
wonder would Johns fit you?"

local board chairman, if he so desires,
may submit to national headquarters
through the state director a recom
mendation for the immediate civil
service appointment of such in
cumbent.
"This is intended as preliminary in
formation," Director Coble said, and
items requiring early attention an' as
follows: All new appointments made
at any time after June 30, 1941, shall
be in accordance with the civil serv
ice rules and regulations and, the
advisability of having present in
cumbents endeavor to qualify through
competitive examinations announced
by the Civil Service Commission.
"The Civil Service Commission has
indicated that in response to re
quests for certification of eligibles,
under paragraph 55(5 of the selective
service regulations, for appointments
to »cal board clerical positions, every
effort will be made to furnish names
of local persons."
In the application of civil service
rules and regulations, the director
emphasized that nothing would be
done to take away the powers of local
boards as appointing officers, subject
to the proviso that all employment
must conform to the provisions of the
Federal Civil Service Commission.
"Any local board members desiring
further information on the status of
incumbents in local board clerical or
stenographic positions, or on pro
cedure for new appointments, should
consult state headquarters.

RULES FOIt FOOD IN HOT
WEATHER
Food you eat and liquids you drink
have a lot to do with your comfort in
hot months.
In hot weather you don't have to
completely change your diet habits,
but you should eat less of the high
caloried foods, such as fried foods,
pastries, rich gravies, heavy soups,
starches and fats.
Take advantage of the seasonal
bargains in fresh fruits and vegeta
bles. Eat plenty of them for the valu
able. additions they bring in vitamins
and minerals. Lean meat fish, and
poultry, along with milk, eggs, and
heese are good warm weather pro
teins.
Drink at least P» to 8 glasses of
water a day to make up for the loss
of water through the sweat glands.
He sure also to replace the salt lost
from the body through perspiration.
If you perspire excessively when you
work, drink slightly salted water or
eat salty foods occasionally as a
guard against loss of too much salt
from the body. And if you are one
of those who fall oil the point of heat
prostration every time the tempera
ture and humidity go up, it might be
wise to check with your doctor about
using salt tablets to ward oft' heat
exhaustion.
Drink fruit juices in ample quan
tity, too, but don't let them displace
the pint of milk a day for the adult
or the quart a day needed
by
chil­
dren.
Keep all perishable foods in the
refrigerator until ready to be used. Be
particularly leery of holding left-overs
more than a day or two, especially
ustards, creams, cooked and ground
meats, and fish.
If you are picnicking, pack your
food with ice to keep it fresh and
cool. Make salads and sandwiches
shortly before you leave, and keep
vegetables crisp in waxed paper 'until
you actually sit down to eat. Be wary
of uncertified water supplies in the
country look for a report by your
State Health Department on safe
water.
HOW FRESH AND CANNED
CITRUS COMPARE
It isn't very easy to set up a stand
ard of comparison between canned
citrus (lemons, oranges, grapefruit,
etc.) ami fresh citrus, but these esti
mates may be useful:
Canned citrus has about 80 to 90
percent of the Vitamin strength
(ascorbic acid) of the fresh fruit.
A No. 2 can of grapefruit seg
ments is the equivalent of two av
erage
sized
grapefruit (No. 70).
Ten ounces of lemon juice is the
equivalent of nine average sized
lemon?: (No. 350).
A No. 2 can oi' grapefruit juice
contains as much juice as throe av
erage sized grapefruit (No. 70).
Keep canned citrus and citrus juice
in the ice box. Just before you drink
the canned juice, try restoring the air
that was originally forced out of it
You do this by pouring the juice back
and forth between two glasses or by
stirring with an egg beater.
HOW SMART ARE YOU?

Information On
Social Security
Many industries and other employ
ers are now demanding that their em
ployes show birth certificates or
other documents which show the name
and place of birth of the worker.
In some cases workers have short
ened or "Americanized" their names
and have used these assumed name.
in obtaining social security cards
especially during the early days of
operation of the social security pro
gram. In these* cases, the name on
the social security card does not cor
respond with that on the birth cer
tificate.
In such cases, workers may obtain
new social security cards bearing
their true names, according to Mr.
Glenn H. Pittenger, manager of the
Youngstown, Ohio fielel office of the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors In
surance. But, in all such cases, a
duplicate number, and net a number
which is different from that first is
sued, should be obtained. Applicants
should request duplicate numbers in
such cases, he said.
These change of name cases are
handled through the Youngstown
Ohio social security office for all
workers in the counties of Mahoning
Columbiana and Jefferson. There is
no charge for this service or for the
duplicate cards.

LABOR NEWS
FROM BRITAIN
SEAMAN'S WELFARE BOARD
DOES EXCELLENT WORK
ROAD BUILDERS
UNION CONSCIOUS
London.—Refugees from Nazi Ger
many were driven out by racial, po
litical and religious persecution. They
have found in Britain not only shelter
and protection, but opportunities to
employ their experience, skill and
labor in many industries.
Here are some details of the way
n which victims of continental perse
ution have found employment and
lave created new industries and
rades.
Nearly a hundred refugee under
akings, capitalized at not less than
£500,OCO, have been started by bodies
of refugee workers in trading estates
stablished by the government some
years ago as a means of relieving un
employment in depressed areas. Most
of the capital for these new enter
prises has been found by the refugees
themselves, either from funds already
nvested in Britain or brought out of
Germany in the early days of the
Nazi terror.
Making Goods Formerly Imported
Among the new productive enter
prises which have found their loca
tion on the government's trading
estates are plants for the manufac
ture of plastic goods buttons, brushes,
zip fasteners, leather goods, knitted
wear, silk printing and electrical
equipment.
Elsewhere in wartime Britain
refugee enterprise has developed the
manufacture of mechanical toys, opti
cal glass, and general glass-ware
production.
The famous Leipzig trade in fur
trimming and dyeing has provided
London with a new industry employ
ing some hundreds of men. On Tyne
side upwards of a thousand British
workmen have been given employ
ment in a new and flourishing ply
wood and veneer industry.
There is a factory producing all
kinds of leather and fabric gloves a^
the rate of 400,000 to 500,OCO dozen
pairs a week. It employs nearly 300
British workpeople, all of them
trained by four refugee experts.
Britain opened her doors to the vic
tims of Nazi oppression primarily for
humanitarian reasons, but the same
iind of thing happened centuries
When Jack Comes Ashore
Improved facilities for seamen's
welfare in port are receiving the
active attention of the Seamen's
Welfare Board. It was set up by the
Ministry of Labor last autumn to ad
vise on all matters concerning the
welfare of British, allied and foreign
seamen in British ports, and the
crews of British ships in oversea
ports.
At eight places in Britain Port Wei
fare Committees have been appointed
and the welfare officers work under
the supervision of the Seamen's Wel
fare Board. These ports are London,
Bristol, Hull, Liverpool, Newcastle,
Glasgow Leith and Cardiff.
In each of them the Port Welfare
Committees are cooperating with
local voluntary organizations to ele
velop and extend amenities and serv
ices for seamen coming ashore.
Particular attention is being paid in
all this work to the position of sea
men belonging to allied countries.
These port hospitality committees
have the effect of making allied sea
men feel that they are taking their
proper place with British comrades in
the common struggle.
One important measure which is
being vigorously pressed is the im
provement of accommodation ashore.
The Seamen's Welfare Bearel is
aiming at providing at least one sea
men's hostel in every port. Local
welfare officers encourage lecal clubs
and sports associations to afford
sailors the opportunity of mixing
with landsmen when they are ashore.
American Aid for Scheme
Overseas ports which are usenl ex
tensively by the British merchant
navy also come within the scope of
the Seamen's Welfare Boarei.
A new British Merchant Navy Club
was openeel by Lord Halifax in New
York quite recently. In other United
States ports, local committees have
beeen at work and financial assist
ance—to say nothing of the enthus
iastic hel|—has been readily forth
coming. Similarly in Canadian" ami
other oversea ports extendeel welfare
service for seamen is being de
veloped.
Through the cooperation of the
British Red Cross and St. John's Am
bulance with the Welfare Board, mer
chant seamen from armed vessels are
now able to get cigarets and to
bacco free of duty when they are in
hospital.
A Seamen's Welfare Fund has re
cently been opened under the auspices
of the board. Two donations of 15,000
each have been received from the
Shipping Federation and the Royal
Seamen's Pensions Fund.
Life Lines of Industry
The roads of Britain under war
conditions are the life lines of the
nation. Without them the rapid move
ment of men and materials would be
impossible. If the roaels were allowed
to fall into disrepair a very serious
state of affairs would arise.
Hence roadmakers in the employ

portant body of wage earners.
Their organization is the concern
of the National Union of Public Em
ployees. With the active support of
the Ministry of Labor and the good
will of the County Councils, de
termined wartime efforts have been
made to develop proper organization
among roadmen and to improve their
wage standarels anel conditions of em
ployment.
National and regional representa
tive boards have been set up with this
object in view. Marked improve
ments in the wages ef roadmen ar
reported by the union.
Since the drive for trade unionism
started amongst them, over 500
branches of the union have been
formed all over the country. In most
of the 02 counties wages agreement.-)
have been negotiated which have add
eel substantially to the roadmen's
wage packets.
Wages which in some counties were
as low as 30s. a week have been
raised to 52s. and more. Hours of
work have been reduced from 52 Va
hours a weedt in summer to 4G.
Holiday arrangements provide for
a fortnight's holiday—though, of
course, with roadmen as wit^h other
bodies of workers, holidays are sub
je*ct to restrictions voluntarily ac
cepted by the workers themselves in
oreler to maintain maximum produc
tion.
