LONDON (HR)—They're making
shells to the tunes of Rachmani-
noff and Chopin these days, and
it's a great hit with the workers.
With reports indicating that
where music is played as an -ac-
companiment to work, output has
increased by an anjount ranging
between 6 and 12 per cent, many
factories throughout the country
have introduced "factory concerts"
for their employes.
In addition to loudspeakers and
grama phone music, well-known
artists are giving recitals in fac-
tory canteens at lunch intervals
and sometimes even at midnight.
In the programs of the performers
usually a singer and a pianist -It
has been noted that Chopin and
Rachmaninofi-are particularly ap-
preciated.
Employers have found that in
repetitive work where concentra-
tion is not essential music reduces
the workers’ fatigue.
Says a research officer of the
British National Institute of In-
dustrial Psychology, who has been
study^ig the effect of "factory
concerts”:
"One trouble is that when there
which Mr. Seidel is cashier, and
the Farmers National and Wash-
ington County State Banks were

re-opening at 1 :00 this afternoon.

Born in Dorking. Surrey. Eng-

Olivier, he deckled to become r~"
actor almost from the time ho
could talk. His father intended
him for the church and he first
attended St. Edward's School, in
Oxford where he distinguished
.himself in preclerical subjects.
Nevertheless, as he studfed the
people he met he felt an urge to
dramatize humdrum lives and told
his father he could be happy only
on the stage.
The minister, in contrast to
many parents, assented willingly
and Olivier was transferred to the
Central School of Dramatic Arts
in London. His previous studies
had given him a sound background
in English literature and public

and Jerry Sadler. On controversal
decisions, Smith and Sadler usual-
ly have over-ridden CommiMioner
Ernest O. Thompson.
Culberson ran for the commis-
sion once before and was defeated
by Thompson. This did not prevent
Thompson joining in appointing
Culberson head of the gas utilities
division. They remained personal
friends and worked together on
important gas rate reduction
cases. w
If Culberson becomes commis-
sioner he would naturally be ap
ally of Thompson. Then Sadler,
who recently has dominated the
commission affairs, might be the
one “out on a limb."
Next to the run-off races the
strange campaign of Attorney
Genera) Gerald C.‘ Mann without
an opponent has been causing
much speculation. Mann explained
that his tour of the state this
month is to give an account of his
stewardship. Observers believe it
may also serve to keep the attor-
ney general in the limelight as a
prospective candidate for gover-
nor in 1942.
Result of the primary election
on the sales tax issue is debatable.
Many of the leaders of the "56”
who successfully prevented sub-
mission of a sales-tax constitu-
tional amendment in the last
house of representatives were de-
feated for re-election. Some of the
ardent anti-sales tax leaders like
G. C, Morris of Greenville were
returned to the house. Tarrant
county elected a complete set of
representatives opposed to a sales
tax. Senate races seemed to hinge
on different issues or on personali-
ties but a clear cut test of sales
tax sentiment may be had in the
run-off between Sen. Morris Rob-
further. the Brenham Cubs drop-
ped a game to Gay Hill Sunday
while the Salem Hot-Shots lost to
Sandy Hill.
With the race scheduled to end
next Sunday a three-way tie for
second, third and fourth places is
certain.
Sandy Hill, on the bottom with
Salem until yesterday, jumped all
the way to a tie with Winedale
fpr second and third places.
Brenham and Prairie Hili tangle
in a postponed game, and the win-
ner will enter into the Winedale-
Sandy Hill axis, each having seven
wins to their credit.
Gay Hill wound up its season
with a smashing 17 to 6 win over
the Cubs who are battling des-
perately for a place in the playoff.

power for the Salem Redbirds.

MRS. W. C. MEURER IS
HONORED WITH SHOWER
AT THE PLANTATION
Mrs. W. C. Meurer, formerly
Miss Lena Schoedel, was honored
with a miscellaneous shower Sun-
day afternoon when about thirty
of her .friends gathered on (he
spacious veranda at the Planta-
tion.
Games were played, the high
prize in the “Fiower” contest went
to Miss Leona Lehmann, low to
Mrs. James Inglehardt. Miss An-
nie Lillie Schmid was awarded the
prize in the "game of words."
The honoree was presented vAth
a bouquet of pink roses and coral
vine, and a message in verse which
informed her that within the bou-
quet of roses was a clue to hidden
treasures, which proved to be use- erts of Pettus and former Rep.
fui as well as beautiful gifts. Fred Mauritz of Ganado. Mauritz
Silver in the chosen patterri of has made his race on an anti-sales
tax platform. Roberts voted for
SJR 12 which Included submission
of a sales tax to popular vote.
Governor O'Daniel's defeat of
Co). Ernest O. Thompson is taken
by some, including Thompson, to
mean that the people prefer a
sales tax to a five cents a barrel
tax on oil as a means to finance
old age assistance.
Governor O’Daniel’s election
however was not a complete vic-
tory for opponents of additional
natural resource taxes. In his first
statement after the election, the
governor declared for additional
natural resmirce and business
taxes to retire the state genera)
revenue .fund deficit and to fin-
ance state activities other than
the social security program.
Thompson’s vote and that of
the governor were strikingly simi-
lar to their votes in the campaign
of two years ago. Votes for Ma
Ferguson and for Jerry Sadler
were surprisingly small as gauged
by forecasts. Sadler had entered
the race wifh the statement that
he did so because he did not be-
lieve any of the other candidates
could beat O’Daniel. None did, but
some of them outran Sadler.
The "if” boys already are spe-
culating on what the result would
have been had former Gov. Dan
Moody answered "yes” instead" of
"no” when friends filed his name
and requested him to run.
They speculate whether Moody
would merely have drawn wtes
that went to candidates other
than the governor, or if he would
have cut down the vote that was
cast for O’Daniel.
A report from the office of the
secretary of state reveals that
there are but 20 perpetual care
cemeteries authorized to’ operate
in Texas. Such cemetery associa-
tions are required to file annual
reports with the secretary of state
by May 1. Twenty have done so.
The report records show also
that 13 rural electric co-operatiVe
associations are going to be forced
to abandon operations unless they
pay fees by Sept. 1.

project with co-operation of the
36th Division, lias his govern-
ment. license as a 'chute rigger
after satisfactorily passing the
Civil Aeronautics Authority ex-
aminations.
He is the first NYA youth in
probably the first in the
to obtain such a license,
and is the first of the NYA avia-
tion ground work school stu-
dents In the state to get a job
as an aviation mechanic in that

parachute rigger in the Houston
area. T.» date, they are the,only

Using tne ’regulation CAA
equipment. Graeber folded and
packed a 24-fhot 'chute for visi-
tors Saturday. Principal item in
this equipment is the folding
table, 40 feet long and 3 fegt
wide.
"This parachute contains ap-
proximately 210 square yards of
silk and 720 feet in shroud lines r
the lines from 'chute to jump-
er." he said. "There is just .one
proper way to fold and pack it.”
Rigging Takes Hour
He placed the yards of silken
canopy on th$ long table,
straightened the lines. At the
bottom of the canopy he care-
fully began the folding opera-
tion from side to side. Soon,"
the silken folds formed a nar-
row strip from top to bottom.
Then, the lines were skillfully
folded in with the canopy and^
the compact mass placed into
the pack, the small pilot 'chute^
the last to go Into the pack. The
job was completed in less than
an hour, the 'chute ready to be,,
strapped to the flier who sits on
it in the plane cockpit.
After a 'chute has been used,
it is hung on a drying rack and
thoroughly inspected for rips or
weak spots. If any are found, re-
|/pairs are made immediately and
