Klugh, manager of the Pennsylvania Automotive as- sociation representing more than 3,000 new car dealers throughout the state, recently outlined the requirements and reasons behind Pennsylvania's rigid inspection on safety glass in windshields and doors. “Practical experience from a safety standpoint requires that glass in motor vehicles not meet- ing standards must be replaced,” Mr. Klugh explained. ‘‘Replace- of unsafe glass became mandatory under an act which became effective May 1, 1929.” “Clouded glass and glass with protruding sharp edges must be replaced as a safety precaution,” he continued. “Even though clouded glass might not interfere with vision, it is no longer safety glass since it will splinter and fly, subjecting those nearby to danger if sub- ject to strain or a sharp blow,” Mr. Klough stated. ‘Clouded safety glass is a much greater hazard than the antiquated pane glass used in early model ve- hicles.” “Another definite hazard threat- ening loss of life or serious in- jury, is glass with protruding sharp edges,” the P. A. A. of- ficial said. Mr. Klugh explained that the law provides that the windshield glass must be replaced if more than one inch of clouding ap- pears around the edges on the driver's side, and if more than two inches appear on the pas- senger’s side. The windshield must also be replaced if showing sharp edges, corner cracks over four inches, or if damage to glass has been caused by stone or shot. Specific requirements are also provided under the law for glass used in doors and rear windows, he pointed out. “Although it would be impossi- ble to furnish figures, countless lives have been saved and se- rious injuries avoided through re- placement of unsafe glass in mo- tor vehicles,” Mr. Klugh con- cluded.

J. Caruso, executive director of the State Bureau of Employment and Unemployment Compensation, said cases of “actual fraud” amount to $275,000 of the amount in question. “The investigation is part of an intensive effort to tighten up our safeguards against irregulari- ties in the payment of unemploy- ment compensation,” he said. The discrepancies, Caruso as- serted, were uncovered in what he termed ‘an unprecedented check” of $55,000,000 paid in un- employment compensation claims during the first 11 months of 1947. Approximately half of the bene- fits comprised servicemen’s read- justment allowances paid under the GI Bill of Rights on the basis of $20 a week for 52 weeks, he added. The executive director said: “We intend to bring crim- inal proceedings against all those persons who filed fraudulent claims.” They include individuals who collected benefits while actually employed and drawing wages; made false statements regarding the termination of their employ- ment; drew benefits while work- ing - in non-covered employment or are self-employed or on the poyroll of a relative, or who empersonated eligible claimants who have returned to work. Caruso said a preliminary probe was initiated shortly after he was named to his post as execu- tive director last August. New Equal Pay Law Is Interpreted by Secretary of Labor William H. Chesnut, secretary of the state department of labor and industry, this week has in- terpreted the new state law es- tablishing equal pay for women to guarantee also equal pay for men and to apply to government employes as well as those in pri- vate industry. : Chesnut says the pay provis- ions of the new law are all-in- clusive, embracing workers in “all walks of life.” The provisions are effective Jan. 6 and provide that there shall be no discrimin- ation because of sex. Pay differentials are permitted, however, because of varying availability for work, skill, sen- iority or experience. The provis- ions will be applied with ‘‘com- mon sense,” and interpretations will be ‘fair,” Chesnut promised. The department has received inquiries from a number of em- ployers that some of their male employes receive less than wom- en workers. Those involved in- clude waiters and other restau- rant employes and weavers in textile plants. Chesnut says that wherever the differentials in pay exist because of sex, regardless of whether men or women receive less, equal- ity of wages must be established. Entertains Children Loretto Post No. 748 were the hosts to the children of the Lor- etto area at a Christmas Party held on Monday evening at the post home.

A total of 42,000 nurses are needed at the present time and at least 60,000 will be needed to meet incrasing demands. Why this shortage of nurses? Before the war, nurses worked in many instances a 12-hour day for six days a week—now they work eight hours a day five days la week. | This would indicate the neces- nurses to fill the same needs. There were 1,226,000 hospital beds in this country in 1940 and in 1945 the number was 1,737,- 000, and new hospitals are in process of construction. In 1940, approximately 10,000,- 000 patients entered the coun- try’s hospitals, while in 1942, 16,- 000,000 persons entered the hos- pitals. Other reasons account for part of the shortage of nurses—in- creased responsibility of the nurs- ing profession and increased ed- ucational requirements of most schools of nursing. Then, too, men figure in this shortage of nurses, and in a practical, obvious, and smart manner. Nurses make and their training has them advantages over girls other occupations. “Nurse, will you marry me?” New Line of Dodge Trucks Being Made A completely new line of Dodge job-rated trucks, comprising 248 basic chassis models ranging from 4,250 to 23,000 pounds, gross wt., has been announced by the Chry- sler Corp. at Detroit.
