THURSDAY, APRn r, PAGE EIGHT (Second Sectiony THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Dollqr-A-Year Man Paid High On This Scale BALTIMORE J. Albert Eklund, 61, retired Baltimore mail carrier, put in 6,300 working hours for free. Eklund volunteered for the back breaking chore of helping to get war ration book No. 3 to Mary land citizens. The ration book is becoming about as obsolte as a World War 1 tank, but today the ex-postman is still busy filing the books away. fie refused pay, explaining that he gets a pension for his 37 years as a mail carrier. Leo H. MeCromick, Maryland OPA director, says he believes Ek lund has set a national record for voluntary hours of work. When he started his volunteer assignment in January, 1943, Ek lund was among 300 workers pre paring the ration book. Eklund devised and put into operation the filing system which now keeps him busy long after the ration book has become extinct. His files, with a card for every ration book issued in Maryland, contain well over 3,000,000 names. Eklund usually works eight hours a day. But many times, when things were more active, he would take work home and toil over index cards until late at night. OPA officials estimate that he has contributed well over $6,000 worth of his time. He says he thinks he'll have the files completed in about three months. But he won't quit then. "If they'll let me," he says, "I'd like to stay here working until the whole OPA closes down."
