A LOT OF PEOPLE are getting hot and bothered about labor-saving machinery—about equipment and methods that take the work out of work. Some of them get so mixed up about increased production that they fall for the old tried and proven “three-alarm” rallying cry of “speed-up.” Maybe "speedup” is the name for such benefits—if ao, it is indeed strange. For the last 25 years General Electric and lots of other good manufacturers have been making labor-saving devices for the home. Right now 35 million homes are wired for electricity, 24 million have washing machines, 25 million have refrigerators, and 37 million have radios. Practically all of them have electric clocks, toasters, electric irons, and everything but an electric baby sitter. Maybe the women folks don’t like this, but money talks and their dollars have said they dp. But the fear that is too frequently built up about labor-saving machinery is that it kills jobs. Down at the factory we may be a little confused about this. But Mama certainly isn’t. So let’s go out home and ask her if she lias lost her job. We expect the answer will be kind of positive that she has just as big a job as ever—is doing just as much—but she is doing . more interesting and productive things. She has shifted the physical labor over on to the appliance, and is using her mind instead of using her muscles. She, is getting to be a “manager of machines.” And the time saved by the machines enables her to give more attention to the education of the children, give more time to learning about more attractive food and better bargains. Also she has time for those rewarding trips to the beauty parlor that keep her looking surely like the bride she was five, ten, or forty yean ago. It’s evident she just could not be doing these added useful things' « if she still had to hand-pump the water, wash the clothes over a scrub board, and heat the heavy old “sad iron” on the stove.

er, William Wight, and Lewis Williamson. Norma Katt, plant personnel director, served as toastmaster for the informal program following the dinner. Appearing on the program were C. I. Finlayson, plant manager; D. W. McMillen, Jr., vice-chairman of the board of directors, and Fred W. Thomas, president of the company, who presented tie awards to the honored employes. , Following the presentation of awards, a sound movie entitled "When Tillage Begins,” and depicting the various manufacturing operations in which the local industry is engaged was shown to the group. Dinner music for the affair was furnished by Miss Lee Chiesa, accordionist, of Fort Wayne. The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed. — Sheridan. , > • Roy S.

Or if she had to go out and split the kindling for the range and put the milk down cellar in a half-way cool place. If Mama tried to run the new kind of home by old hand methods, there would have to be five or six of her. The new way of getting so much house-work done—and getting it done with only one wife —may be a “speed-up.” But if it is, Mama is certainly for it—and more of it—and we guess papa is for it too. Incidenfally, it’s a little interesting to see what this “speed up' in American homes—this using of machinery by mama to get more results from her efforts—has done at General Electric. General Electric’s business has always been simply that of making labor-saving devices. Since entering the home appliance field, General Electric has gradually created thousands of new jobs to make these labor-saving devices for the home. Today, 25% of our business is directly in labor-saving equipment for the home. And a lot of the rest of General Electric’s output of turbines and generators and transmission equipment is used to get electricity to the home—in order to make the labor-saving devices save the labor there. It’s a peculiar thing about labor-saving devices: The more of them we make, the more jobs and the better jobs we have on the whole—whether these labor-saving devices are made for the factory, the farm, the store, or the home. And in the bargain, labor-saving machinery makes our whole lives better—both at work and after work. And even in periods of declining sales and jobs, improvements in labor and methods make more and better jobs than would otherwise be possible—make layoffs less than they would otherwise be—bring the return of full employment sooner. Because these improvements provide the better products at the more attractive prices that enable the hard-hitting advertising and the enthusiastic salesmen to bring in more of the sales that make the jobs. z * ~ r
