People Who Hold Two Jobs Or More A few weeks ago the driver of a suburban bus apologized for yawning during an end-of- the-line discussion of, New York's muggy July weather. "I'm bushed," he said, "I've been working almost 12 hours." I suppose I looked surprised. their own hours for moonlight- ing, Firemen and policemen are often employable as guards, al- though some cities now bar sec- ond © ployeeés, jobs for municipal em- However, the practice isn't limited to such groups as these.

" I.hold down two job," he told me. "I'm buying a house," Usually the two jobs do not stretch out that long. Most of the driver's extra work is on oft days or arranged so there is rest time between them. But once every two weeks there is a 12-hour stint, with only coffee and travel time between the two jobs, The bus driver is typical of the surprisingly large number of American working men and women who hold two or more Jobs in order to enjoy a better standard of living, : According to a recent report published by the United States Department of Commerce, some 3,700,000 persons (roughly 5% per cent of the total employed) were © multiple-job holders in mid-1956. The figure wa& double what it had been six years be- fore, when 1,800,000 (or 3 per Holding a' second job, usually at night after-a regular shift, is called "moonlighting" in labor relations circles. Those who -- have two jobs during the week and also work weekends are known as "sundodgers"--for the ebvious reason. ' Both 'moonlighters and sun- dogers are on the increase de- spite the fact that most unions and many employers frown on multiple jobs, They have dif- ferent reasons. Unions contend that the man who doubles up may be taking away a job--and badly needed bread and butter --from an unemployed wage earner. Employers say, practi- cdlly, that a moonlighter "can't 0 justice to his job." 'Nevertheless, those workers who are interested in 'a second and even a third job seem to have no particular 'trouble find- 'ing the extra work. - Many inside postal workers and letter carriers 'augment their government pay with sec- ond jobs, They are in demand for work In retail and service des where dependable part- ers are needed for three or our hours a day and a full day once in a while, : Industrial workers with spe- clal skills that are in demand frequently are allowed to get a And in the same city a junior executive in one of Cook Coun- ty's major industries reported for work when a North Shore homeowner hired a man through an employment agency to take ocare of his lawn and do odd jobs weekends.

According to the Depart- ment of Commerce, jobs were found more frequent- ly among married men. 7% per cent of all" employed married men had more than one job, compared with 51% per cent _of the single then. According to the survey, the rate was consid- erably lower for women gen- erally and especially for house- . wives. multiple About The Commerce Department report said that men between 25 and 54 had a higher multiple- job rate than other groups. About a million workers held both farm and nonfarm jobs, reflecting a growing trend for farmers and farm workers to double up--as a move for great- er security--with -an off-farm job in late afternoon and early evening, : Some 1,600,000 held two or more jobs in industry, e greatest concentration of secondary jobs is in retail and service trades. According to the Commerce Department, * "The continued expansion in trade and service activities -- which has contributed so much to the influx "of housewives into the labor force in recent years -- undoubtedly has also increased opportunities for work in trade and service in- dustries, 'Such extra jobs held in. . . the industries tripled in six years, from 350,000 to over 'spare - time' million," Unions complain that the high cost of living has forced many workers into second and third jobs. There's another probable reason many are taking extra work, want to or not: When most workers. were collecting overtime premium pay weekly many overextended themselves with purchases of cars, appli- ances, homes, and other credit items' Now the overtime is all but gone in many parts of in- dustry, and other ways--includ- ing moonlighting -- must be found to meet payments for things bought on time. All this poses an important question at a time when there is talk of a shorter work week: If the week is reduced to , say, four days, will workers use the extra day oft for . leisure--or for a chance to make a few © MIGHTY BLOW-This pint-sized admiral powers his craft through the waters with a self- manufactured breeze. more dollars in additional work?

Auctions Answer elsewhere on this page, Our Losing Battle Against Rust Rust is costing Britain alone about $1,800,000,000 a year and scientists are making ceaseless experiments to fight this deadly corrosion, said a speaker at a recent meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers. What it costs the rest of the world is beyond computation, We produce the finest metals In the world but as soon as they are put to use corrosion sets in, he pointed out. A national "Anti-corrosion Week" is being organized in Britain in October when the war against rust will be stepped up and scientists will try out new de-rusting processes. Anti-coerrosive paints are being used all over Europe in efforts to fight rust.: But after three coats had been given to the Eiffel Tower it was found that rust was eating into it again within two years, When a petition was made be- fore the war for the preservation of Britain's old battle-cruiser, Lion, the Admiralty said that the most serious objection was the huge outlay needed to protect the hull from rusting. So far man is the loser in this -bitter struggle against rust, for although he can wrest the metals from nature, he cannot hold what he has won. Britain's losses are particularly heavy owing to the destructive effects of moist climate, Rust, too, has been responsible for loss of life which can never be assessed in terms of cash. In the past bridges, roofs and other iron and steel structures have collapsed when the rust fiend , has been allowed to secure a hold.

In retail stores in Montreal, Edmonton and Toronto they have shown it of several cents per pound, At they can be sure of getting consistent quality. This is the major conclusion from a survey recently completed by the Mar- keting Service, Depfrtment of Agriculture, Ottawa. The survey was undertaken as the result of complaints from Individuals and supported by the Canadian' Association of Con- . sumers, that Canadian side bacon was fatter than consumers de- sired. » . . First test of consumer prefer- ences was made when slices of side bacon of varying degrees -of lean to fat were placed be- fore visitors to a Department of Agriculture exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto and the Salon de I'Agriculture, Montreal. Each visitor was Invited to rate the samples as "good", "fair", or "poor" and as "acceptable" or "not acceptable". About 8,000 opinions were ob- tained from these tests. The per- centage of fat and lean in the sample slices was measured and from the preferences expressed it was concluded that bacon with less than 20 per cent of lean is generally not acceptable. About 30 per cent of lean is required for bacon to be classed ag "good" or '"acceptable" by more than two-thirds. Bacon in which the 'lean appeared in strips through- out the slice also was preferred to concentration of the lean in one portion of the slice. * * EL From these preferences it was concluded that a standard top quality "of sliced side bacon should have a minimum of 30 per cent lean area and be drawn from the central portion of a slab of bacon. The question | /remained--would consumers buy such a grade of bacon consistent- ly at a sufficient price premium to justify its introduction on the retail market? : > Ld » To obtain this: information standard Grade Lean bacon was selected and placed on sale in 3 supermarkets in widely sep- arated sections of Montreal, Ed- monton and Torofito, The bacon was wrapped in 2 pound pack- ages identified only as Grade A Lean and offered for sale in display space alongside other side bacon at a premium of six cents a pound over top quality commercial brands, At first only a placard drawing attention to it was plated at the counter... Later an attractive dodger was distributed to cus- tomers' and girls were stationed in each store to demontsrate the Grade A Lean bacon. They were instructed to draw customers' at- tention to it but refrain from any active attempt to sell it. " . * * . The period of sales testing ex- tended from three to five months in the various stores.

Volume of Grade A Lean sold at a premium over other brands of bacon in these tests appears to correspond fairly closely to the amount of Grade A Lean available in the total bacon sup- plies on the market. Numerous tests made in various provinces in addition to the grading neces- sary for the sales program indi- cate what the percentage of Grade A Lean would be and it appears that present hog Shality will provide from 10 to 5 per cent of Grade A Lean side bacon. Limited study indicates that Grade A carcasses yield the most Grade A bacon but the relation=~ ship is not consistent. Many top grade carcasses do not have top grade side bacon cuts and some lower grade carcasses will yleld _ top cuts when trimmed but in general Grade A carcasses pro- duce the highest ratio of Grade A Lean bacon. From these tests the Marketing Service concludes that is fis possible to establish and main- tain a fixed standard of léanness in side bacon;-that such a stand- #rd. can be mechanically and ecoonmically produced in pre- sent day processing operations; that regular trade personnel can make the selection under oc- casfonal supervision and check- ing, and that consumer accept- ance indicates all the Grade A Lean now available could be sold at some price premium over regular top brands. * * "s id Copies of the full report on the survey are available on re- quest from Information Service, Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa.

Sheet plastic is available in two to six mills \ thickness¢s (a mil being a thousandth of an inch) and in widths up to seven and ten feet. LJ L LJ In practice the plastic strips are placed on the top of a horl- zontal silo after it has been filled and well packed. Adjoin- ing sheets are carefully lapped at least six Inches and the plastia overhangs the sides so as to drain off the silo and not down the sidewall. After the plastie has been laid a thin layer fo wet sawdust serves to hold ft in place. LJ] LJ] L] Whether plastic sheet can be used for more than one year depends on local weather con- ditions and on the thickness of the material. In cold-areas the plastic freezes to the silage and usually cannot be recovered. It is then more economical to use thin plastic 2 mils in thickness applying new material each year. In locations where the top of the silo does not freeze it may be more: economical to use plastie sheet four to six mils thick and re-use it for several years. Since rats and mice have been known to eat plastic it should be stored in a safe place, .In addition to the use of plastle sheet for covering silos it may be used as a liner on hrolzoftal silo walls which are not air- tight.
