Employees Help to Rebuild
Gutted Pottery Factory
SCIO, OHIO.—Two months after
fire destroyed this town's only In-
dustry, employees completely re-
built the gutted pottery plant and
returned to pottery making.
After the fire the owner sur-
veyed the burned ruins of his busi-
ness and estimated loss at almost
two million dollars. He was ready
to quit.
Penniless and unemployed, he
had founded the company in a di-
lapidated, abandoned factory in
1932. He gathered a handful of
townsfolk together and they de-
veloped the company into the
world’s largest firm of its kind.
The climax of their success came
at Christmas, 1946, when $795,686
was passed out in bonus checks.
The story of the pottery’s employer-
worker relations received wide ac-
claim.
In 1933, the employees got a box
of chocolates. In 1945, they received
15 per cent pay increases and $75,-
000 in cash gifts. The pottery work-
ers also obtained such things as
household goods and appliances at
wholesale prices through their em-
ployer's efforts.
So after the fire, the town's physi-
cian, clergyman, and merchants
hauled building materials, ham-
mered nails to steel Quonset factory
buildings and expedited rejuvena-
tion of the pottery plant.
Hangovers in United States
Cost One Billion Annually
CHICAGO. — Hangovers cost the
nation one billion dollars annually.
Each habitual alcoholic costs his
employer $550 every year.
Therefore: Industrial leaders will
confer to find out ways and means
of doing something about him.
The conference, first of its kind
in the nation, is sponsored by the
Chicago committee on alcoholism.
Dr. Anton J. Carlson, University of
Chicago medical researcher is chair-
man.
Dr. Carlson, who produced the
economic cost figures on alcoholism,
said that “of the thousands of in-
dustrial firms in the country, there
are possibly no more than 10 on
record who have conducted exten-
sive research on the subject of alco-
holism in industry."
James H. Oughton, Jr., director
of the Keeley institute, Dwight, Hl.,
added “alcoholics are sick people.
They suffer from a disease just as
surely as does the diabetic, a person
with cancer or tuberculosis.
“They must not be confused with
hopeless drunks and bums. This
most certainly does not describe the
alcoholic. Not all those with an
alcohol problem are hopeless. Many
of them have high intelligence, fine,
delicate makeups, and are among
our community and social leaders."

Canada Will Attempt to Make
"Dry-Ice" Rain on Big Scala
OTTAWA -Canadian government
and scientific agencies will co-oper-
ate in rainmaking experiments to
determine whether moisture can be
induced artificially on a major scale.
The federal department of trans-
port said that dry-ice particles would
be sprinkled on heavy, rain-type
clouds to induce them to give up
their moisture.
The department added that if the
experiments were successful, arti-
ficial rainmaking might be used
over the western wheat-growing
lands in dry years.
