Winners of $5 in war stamps were John Pilch, Jr., Kent Richards, John M. Dwyer, May I Smith, LeRoy O. Glenn, Eugene S. Bopp, Eugenia V. Frazee, . W. N. Garison, E. W. Marchant and Bertha C Salnsbury. Over 100 new workers were hired as the result of the efforts of contestants, who also numbered nearly 100. No arrangements have been made for formal presentation of the prizes but special ceremonies may be held In the next few days. Money for the prizes was supplied by the Hill Field Welfare Association. The contest ran from the 23rd of February to the 23rd of March, with a week's grace during which prospective employes submitted by the 23rd could sign up for work and thus be credited. First Locality Wg,ge Pay (Continued from Page Due April 8th One) base pay" under the former system would earn $498.24 in overtime computed on a daily ba sis, part acumulating on each of the 360 days of the civil service pay year. Base pay plus overtime would thus equal $2798.24. That was the former per annum system, Under the locality wage plan that worker might be transferred to an hourly rate of $1.05. The hourly rate to which he is transferred will depend upon the prevailing wage rate for his kind of work in the local defense area. But he will not be transferred to an hourly rate that will amount to less, with overtime added, in a year's time, than what he made under the per annum arrange ment. Multiplying 40 hours per week (eight hours per day for five days) by 52 weeks a year, the result Is 2080 working Hours in tne year which will draw straight time. By multiplying 12 hours on Saturday (eight hours actually worked plus credit for four additional hours to for that equal time and one-ha- lf day) by 52 Saturdays in the year the result Is 624 overtime Hours. hours The 2080 straight-tim- e multiplied by the $1.05 hourly rate results in a base pay of $2184 for the year, a lower base pay than the $2300 earned under the former system. BUT: by multiplying 624 overtime hours by the $L05 rate, the result is $635.20, which, added to the base pay of $2184 equals $2839.20 as compared with the $2798.24, base pay plus overtime, that accumulated under the for mer system.

War department circular 100, just released, says that such handicapped soldiers, if they can go about theis duties in a profitable fashion to the army, don t have to worry about being tossed out. Commanding officers and surg eons are urged to "exercise extreme care and judgment" before discharges are deemed necessary although the inability of a man to perform a reasonable day s work for the army is considered grounds for a CDD. GIs who And the action-anxiowant to meet the enemy from closer proximity than Hill Field, ought to soon realize that dream. Another portion of, WD 100 gives these stalwarts hope. War depart ment policy now states that men under 38 who are pronounced physically qualified for general service and have been stationed in this country for over a year are just what Uncle Sam needs for overseas chores. That excess baggage that has accumulated during long service "at home" won't fit army specifica tions in just two barracks bags. From the tone of WD 100, that ought to be fine stuff to unload, but quickly. The dictionary defines coral an atoll as "a reef nearly or entirely surrounding a basin or lagoon within."
