At pres- there are no houses xor rent 1 there is also a scarcity of busi- houses. There is a strong Idency among those who nave ted homes for the past several rs. toward buying lots with the entidn of building, )uring the past year between een and twenty dwelling houses to been erected at an approxi te cost of $60,000. Just complet- is the beautiful ten room home Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Prevost in mball Park and a large sum- home near the Golf Course lied by J. C. Hickson, of Florida. io modern type trangaiows be ting to L. N. Davis were erected Main street An unusually at jptive home owned by Mr. and E. W. Lawrence was buut in ' the summer, the two front rooms of which are used for an art and craft shop operated by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence. A native of Eng land, Mr. Lawrence came here for a short visit several years ago and liked it so much that he decided to make a permanent home here. Hardin's Place, an Esso Station and Tea Room, on Highway Nos. 19-23, one block from the Waynes ville Country Club, was also built and opened up last summer. It is owned by W. Lt Hardin, Jr. A large addition is being built to the Waynesville Country Club. This addition, when completed, will give one-third more rooms. The club is owned and operated by Mr. ana Mrs. J. M.

The most recent improvement was the installation of a new and up-to-date dry kiln by the Unagusta Man ufacturing Company. R. L. Pre vost, president of the company, stated that the new kiln turns out better seasoned lumber for furni ture in less than half of the time required by the old one. i During the past year the Caro ina Power and Light Corapny re built and repaired the entire town where needed, "Old poles were re placed with new creosote .ones and new wiring was also used. Damages from the high waters of last summer have been repaired and the Town of Hazelwood, the A. C. Lawrence Leather Company and the Unagusta Manufacturing Company had Richland Creek and Camp Branch dredged as a safe guard against high waters. The hard surfacing of streets, a W. P. A. project, which was be gun about three years ago and discontinued, was completed in Au gust Almost three miles of streets within the town limits were hard' surfaced. Highway Nos. 19-23, where it borders the South side of Hazelwood was refinished last spring. Another W. P. A. project which was carried on in the spring and summer was the renovation of the old unit of the Hazelwood school. This project was supposed, ac cording to school officials, to give Hazelwood school a surplus of class rooms that would take care of additional enrollment for many years, but with the coming of two new industries, a branch plant of the Dayton Rubber Company and shoe manufacturing plant, it is believed that all these school fa cilities will soon be in use. Work on the rubber plant and shoe plant is scheduled to start Heads War Board DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES? Here are some facts about Ford Labor. During the year ended November 30th, 1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly wage earners, not including office em ployes, students, or executives. They were paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. According to the latest available govern ment figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $841.00. If the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national income about 50. Think what such an increase would mean to the workers of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income. I Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are divided into three classifications: I Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour Semi-skilled.,, Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour 'Skilled... Minimum hiring wage , 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of I r, ... a . I aDiiity ana years ot service. Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor I at the Rouge plant are the highest in the I industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or are higher I than, wages in other automobile plants. f Now some facts on Ford labor conditions: Not only are sanitation and other health "conditions the best in the industry, but Ford also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of tnis is found in the following com parison of compensation insurance costs: ,r. The national average rate in automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the National Association of Underwriters is in excess of $1,50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen's compensation is less than 50c This indicates that the Chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant. The Ford Motor Company has no age limit for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers working. The average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly one half the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 25,819 between 40 and 50 14,731 between 50 and 60 3377 between 60 and 70 417 between 70 and 80 12 between 80 and 90 In addition to the so-called regular em ployes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain the plane They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford's belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be yond the point at which the unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. The above are facts. They are' open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job . . bay a car . . . or place a national defense con tract on the basis of fair labor treat ment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list F O It D HI O T O n C O M PAN Y VAC Britain's famed Laborite, Ernest Bevin, has been named to head a "Big Four Brain Trust" which will direct war production in England.
