P*??T SHARING
PUNS
"JOB DIVIDENDS"
' ' . ' : ? f
at General Electric
flUklWW*?
CJkSStS
sch?la*ships
For the year 1945, $35,000,000 in addition to wages
was spent by General Electric in extra
benefits for employees
It isn't a new thing for General Electric to put more
than money into pay envelopes for its employees.
"Job dividends" ? these extras that G-E employees get
in addition to wages ? have a sound business reason. To
be successful, a company must be efficient. A man with
fewer worries can produce more efficiently' which makes *
further benefits possible.
Profit-sharing plans, relief and loan plans began over
10 years ago at General Electric. Life insurance for em
ployees, cash for suggestions began over 20 years ago.
Pension plans were started 33 years ago. And vacations
with pay began 53 years ago.
Every employee has a stake in the future of General
Electric. For out of its success ? and only out of success
? can come further advances in living standards. That
is the aim at General Electric, not alone for its employees,
but for the public, who gain by new and better products,
continuously improved.

Farming
One Of Most Dangerous
Occupations
"Doing farm ' chores Is five
times as dbngerous as deep-sea
diving, flying a plane, or be
ing a steeplejack, " a New York
Power and Light corporation of
ficial has declared.
Mentioning that 6,000 people
were killed in farm accidents
j last year, Cecil T. Walker, of
; Albany, N. Y., said that "care
j lessness and lack of safety mea
! sures on farms and in homes
are the causes of many acci
dents." Mr. Walker spoke on the
General-Electric Farm Paper of
the Air program over WGY.
"There are many more acci
dents from falling over things,
being hurt by livestock and be
ing careless with tools and ma
i chinery than from electricity,"
he pointed out.
"But it is possible to be hurt
by electricity or electrical ap
pliances, to get a shock or start
a fire. Poor lighting, poor wir
ing, or poor judgment in plac
ing or using electrical appli
ances are among the m^jor
causes of accidents involving
electrical appliances."
Says Every Farm
Owner Should Give
Welcome To Beavers
Every farmer should welcome
beavers, Mrs. Dorothy B. Rich
ards, of Little Falls, N. Y., de
clared in a General Electric of
the air address. She has raised
beavers and observed their hab
its for several years.
Beavers "will build you a pond
if you have a stream with
brush growing along its banks,"
Mrs. Richards told her farm
audience. "Their ponds conserve
{ water, prevent floods, catch the
valuable topsoil washed down
from the land, and provide a
habitat for fish, muskrats, ducks
and other interesting forms of
wildlife. Of course, they might
kill a few trees by flooding, but
their food consists mostly of
what is called 'brush'? poplar,
willow, and dogwood."
Mrs. Richards said she "can't
think of a single bad quality"
beavers possess. "They are pa
tient, kind and gentle with their
own kind and with the smaller,
weaker wild creatures that are
attracted to their ponds," she
explained.
"Beavers have many human
traits, and are self conscious,
have a sense of hymor, and plan
their activities six months to a
year in advance," Mrs. Richards
said.
