operation, particularly In the
splendid safety program at West

less, inefficient employee may
hazard the lives of our employees
and the safety of our property.
We have recognized your right,
through your union, in the past to
intercede in behalf of any em
ployee who, in your Judgment, has
been unfairly treated. We will
continue to do so in the future.
The machinery provided in our
union contract has proven ade
quate in disposing of most cases,
However, in those few instances
where an agreement between us
has not been reached, I have re
viewed the facts, and on several
occasions decided in favor of the
employee. The security of our em
ployees depends upon order and
discipline being maintained.
Too often it is erroneously stated
that management and labor are on
opposite sides of the fence, op
posed to one another with differ
ent interests. As a matter of fact,
production can only be achieved
through the cooperation of labor,
capital and management. We are
proud of our accomplishments at
Westfir. We have splendid em
ployees. We are making clear to
you our Company policy, which
has always secured the best re
sults for our employees and our
selves. We are ready to resume
production Just as soon as you,
through your representatives, de

Army Opens
Enlistments
Boys between the draft ages of
18 and 25 can now enlist for 21
months in the regular army, ac
cording to Major Carl Hornsby of
the local recruiting office.
Previously, three years was the
minimum enlistment. Men who
enlist for the 21-month term will
be transferred to the Enlisted Re
serve Corps on discharge from the
service to meet the new draft law
requirements.
Can Cancel
The reserve obligation may be
cancelled, however, by extending
enlistment one year.
Expansion of the army and air
force will open thousands of non
commissioned officer grades. Men
who volunteer now will have
completed their training and be
qualified as leaders by the time
selective service gets into full
operation. Hornsby stated.
Limited Number
Eighteen-year-old recruiting is
also being accepted, but the num
ber of applicants that can be taken
into the army in this category is
limited.
Announcement of the new 21
month enlistment term or the 18-year-old
enlistments does not ef
fect enlistments for longer terms
and the advantages that go with
the latter, including choice of the
branch of service, selection of
schools, and choice of overseas as
signments.

clubs and restaurants in Philadel
phia. Value Sought
Right now he thinks the peo
ple are shopping for night club en
tertainment every bit as sharply as
they do for their dollar's value in
food and clothing.
"They no longer are just satis
fied to go and pay their money
and listen to a band," he said.
"They want more than a voice or
a tune. These guys who just play
their saxophones and clarinets and
turn their back to the audience
are finished."
Palumbo thinks the night club
business, now off 100 per cent in
many cities, never will enjoy again
such a lucrative period as the war
I years.
"Night clubs have to get back to
real merchandising. The fast dol
lar is gone."
Likes to Give
Palumbo, a stocky, dark-hatred
cheerful bachelor, has made him
self a civic institution here by his
pleasure in giving. Friends esti
mate he gives away 5100,000 a
year.
His pattern of philanthropy is I
based, probably, more on what
gives him pleasure than on how
his gifts will bring him more busi
ness. He likes sports he owns a
6hunk of Ike Williams, the light
weight boxing champion and
gives a number of cups and tro
phies each year to winners of
sporting events. He also takes
some 45,000 children a year to the
zoo, circus or a major league
ball game.
Zoo Benefits
By giving the zoo a leopard, four
alligators, some south American
birds and two rhinos he also en
deared himself to the animal-loving
hearts of the main line aristo
cracy here. And it is a crusty so
ciety you just don't crash with a
new bank roll.
Palumbo has given blood trans
fusions as well as dollars. He is
easier to hit than a radio give
way program. As the whim seizes
him, he passes out watches, pen
and pencil sets, cases of liquor
perfume, gold rings, bracelets, and
television sets for orphanages.
"1 get my chief pleasure out of
life in seeing people enjoy them
selves," he says. His favorite bev
erage is a soft drink.
He pays out more than $1,000.-
000 a year to bring in the na
tion's top priced bands and en
tertainers. So far the formula has worked.
There are no rings under Palum
bo's eyes from worry.

'n Cascade Range
Scouts of the fourth period at
Camp Lucky Boy enjoyed a two
day encampment and climb in the
Middle Sister area. The first day
the group, after arriving at Frog
Camp by car from Lucky Boy,
hiked over the lava trail to Sun
shine Shelter where camp was
made.
Early Thursday morning the
Scouts left base camp and suc
ceeded in reaching the summit of

to Camp Lucky Boy in time for
the evening meal.
