This will * give you an idea of some of the drastic measures some firms are taking. It appeared on the bulletin board of a large firm recently TO ALL EMPLOYEES: Due to increased competition and a keen desire to remain in business, we find it necessary to institute a new policy—effective Immediately, We are-asking that somewhere between starting- and quitting time and without IriTHlTglng too much on the time usually devoted to lunch period, coffee breaks, rest period, story telling, ticket-selling, vaca­ tioning, and rehashing yesterday's TV programs—each employee to find some time which can be set aside as the "Work Break.” To some this may seem a rad­ ical innovation but we honestly be­ lieve this idea has great possibili­ ties. It can conceivably be an aid to steady employment and it might also be a means of assuring pay checks. While the adoption of the "Work Break” plan is not compulsory, It is hoped that each employee will have time to give U a fair triaL It is hoped that those employees not to favor of its adoption will have fully completed their vacation plans. • 6 6 From the Jeffersonian, Jeffers- town, Kentucky: It is well enough to say that something has to be done.

Thefollowing editorialfrom ”The New York Times’* o f August 3 tells a grim story which every citizen o f this area should know .., and should act on nowl OPERATION SKYWATCH New York’j "Operation Skywatch," which has been manned twenty-four hours a day since it was begun, on July 14, may soon be forced to curtail its operations unless more o f our citizens heed the call for volunteers for the Ground Obser­ ver Corps. *The situation it worse in many other parts of the country , although the Air Force has warned that Jlussia-bascd bombers could bore in under the 3,000-foot floor of effective radar screening to carry a sneak air attack within our borders, If the masters of the Kremlin have indeed made plans for such an attack they must take comfort in the indifference of the American public to the warnings of its appointed experts. Hostile bombers must be tracked in their progress if they are to be effectively intercepted. Without an adequate network of aircraft-spotter stations an enemy airpenetration would be as difficult to Intercept as a mosquito in a dark room, At an emergency meeting lasc week civil-defense officials reported that around-the-clock vigilance was maintained only because a few unselfish persons in the present roster of volun­ teer aircraft spotters have accepted weekly tours of duty four times as long as they had signed up for. Nine hundred sky watchers arc needed to staff the city's three spotter stations; only a third of the necessary number has volunteered, In a message to the meeting Mayor Impellittcri expressed his alarm and astonishment that so few o f the city’ s eight million resi­ dents had responded to the call. Col. Harley Sathcr, civil- defense director o f the Eastern Ait Defense Force, told the meeting that a failure o f "Skywatch" would be like posting a notice to thieves that all doors were guarded except the back door, One thing is certain: if an enemy attack should occur there would be plenty of volunteers among the survivors, It is almost aslikely that there would be more survivors if enough spotters were On duty beforehand to guide the interceptor planes to the attackers, ♦The situation Is very bad In (name of city). Volunteers are needed urgently. Contact your Civil Defense Director at (local Civil Defense phone and address) or write lot GROUND OBSERVER CORPS, Mt 5. Air Pore*, Washington 25, D. C.
