Sales hit $3.76 million in 1967 and rose to more than $41 million in 1971. Thats more than a 900 per cent increase in five years. The hexachlorophene scare slowed sales early this year, but industry spokesmen say theyre trending up again at about a 30 per cent rate. FDS, which formerly contained a small amount of HCP and now does not, leads in sales with about a 30 per cent share of the market.

(ACCN) your job is a bore and y your working hours thinking about your evenings and weekends, and less about what youre doing for the boss, youre probably not alone. Michigan State University sociologist says that workers can do routine and unsatisfying jobs effectively and mechanically, without making any emotional or intellectual investment in their work. Instead, those workers save their drive, imagination and emotions for the nonwork time of their lives. They do invest their heads and hearts in their families, their communities, their recreation or hobbies, he said, William A. Faunce, professor and chairman of the department of sociology, in a paper given recently Robert Dubin of the University cl California at Irvine discussed the withholding of investment of self in occupational roles.

The Judge says ' his decision to embark on the experiment stemmed in part from the editorial titled Cool Courts" which appeared in the (Newark) New Jersey Law Journal of last September 21. Judge O'Dea says he feels the taking of notes by jurors to help them remember and understand the testimony they hear is necessary because of the complexity of cases today, the great increase in technical testimony, and the lengthy trials.

However, they see the statewide picture and the total function and problems in the administration of justice and, of course, must make the final and ultimate decision. But, the trial judge, he says, can help the Supreme Court by trying innovations which will not reflect deleteriously on the administration of justice and thus possible point the way for Supreme Court action. Judge ODea concedes there is a possibility of a juror trying to write too much and thus missing some of the evidence but he says this is minimized today by the fact that most jurors have had some training and experience in note taking. Fur-wit- h ther, he cautions the juries not to try to imitate stenographers. The benefits derived from permitting jurors to take notes, he feels far exceed any possible disadvantages, and he hopes the Supreme Court will adopt a rule expressly authorizing the practice. Self-investme- amount of return on such investments in the past, and the anticipated amount of return in the future. The primary orientation toward work is likely to become a concern for finding a secure place and a steady income, they suggest. There also may be an attempt to minimize expenditure of time and energy on the job in order to preserve these resources for more important nonwork-relate- d activites. If a man is doing work that nobody can understand outside the work situation, and that is a common lowly valued job inside the organization, then the mans ideas about himself and his are divorced from the kind of work he does. People invest themselves in a situation that supports their selfesteem. Work is only one of many settings in which the daily round of life is carried out. For a significant proportion of workers in modern industry and commerce, this setting may no longer be one from which is drawn. One of the important conclusions reached in this study, they said, is that much routine labor can be done, and done effectively, by people who are very low in their self investment in the work. self-estee- m self-estee- m IRS Agent Says Luck at Table Barred Count RENO, NEV.

The investigation was to see dice-shoot- er whether the earnings were skimmed" before they were reported for taxes. Corrigan testified October 18, at the trial of four hotel officals charged partly as a result of evidence gathered by 12 agents sent to count money placed in dice table drop boxes in the summer of 1965. There was one hot streak in which I had the dice for a full half hour, Corrigan said. There were people three or four deep. I couldnt even see what the dice were because people were leaning over the table. Corrigan said I think I won money every night |
