PEOPLES DRUG
STORES PAY
BONUS
A merry Christmas was as
sured hundreds of employes of
the Peoples Drug Stores today
when the directors announced a
special bonus distribution for all
of those below the rank of assist
ant store manager who have been
continuously in the company’s
employ for at least six months.
An established bonus plan already
is in operation for executives,
store managers and assistant
store managers.
In addition, it was decided to
reorganize the store staffs in such
a way that no employe will work
more than six days in any one
week. As the stores are open
seven days a week, this will entail
considerable additions to payrolls
and personnel.
It was stated that the Christ
mas “salary dividend’’ will be paid
as follows:
To all of those employed more
than six months and less than
one year: 25 per cent of one
month’s basic salary.
To all employed more than
one year but less than two
years: 35 per cent of one
month’s basic salary.
To all employed more than
two years: 50 per cent of one
month’s basic salary.
Bonus checks are to be distrib
uted December 10. The plan for
a shorter working week is to be
come effective January 1, 1937,
or as soon thereafter as it is possi
ble to work it out.
Employes of Erlebacher, Inc.,
will also share a Christmas bonus,
it was announced yesterday by
Mrs. B. Erlebacher Frank, presi
dent of the firm, shortly before
she left here to sail for a trip to
the Orient. In appreciation of
their services during the year,
Mrs. Frank declared, her em
ployes will be given a bonus on
December 14.

HOLDS FATHER
JESUP, Ga., Dec. 1 (1.N.5.).
Charged with stamping his 14-
year-old step-daughter to death, a
51-year-old itinerant repairman
was being held in jail here today.
The indigent repairman, L. R.
Ward, is alleged to have stamped
the life out of the girl before the
eyes of her terrorized mother, be
cause he believed she had gone on
a date.
Sheriff R. S. Warren revealed
Ward was arrested Saturday as
he attended the girl’s funeral,
financed with funds Ward so
licited from merchants. The
sheriff said Ward contended the
girl was killed by an automobile.
Warren said the child, bleeding
from the mouth and ears, was
taken to a Brunswick hospital last
Wednesday and died there a few
days later. He said the girl’s
mother told him her husband tied
her in the woods near a transient
camp in nearby Jeff Davis county
and chained and beat her last
Tuesday night, after accusing her
and the child of misconduct. Ward
then turned on the child, Warren
said the mother told him, and
beat her, knocked her to the
ground, and stamped on her.
