THE ENTEBPBISE^AtTA^MI^v FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1957 Storage Space Problem Solved By Teg-Board' How to increase household stor- age space economically is a question he often is asked toy home owners feco^'ng to Raymond Brunk of the Ward G. Ackerman Inc. lumber company, Altamont. Space to keep clothes, tools, gar- den and lawn equipment, housekeep- ing supplied and the various odds and ends that just seem to accumulate always is at a premium. Mr. Brunk suggests the use of Masonite \Peg-Board\ panels for greatly increasing storage space without erecting costly additions to the home. The panels are available at Ward G, Ackerman Inc. along with free plans and advice. An example Mr. Brunk cites is a closet lined with the perforated hard- board. \Using 'Peg-Boad' fixtures, you can install several clothes bars at convenient heights instead of hav- ing one long bar for everything,\ he points out, \Also you can use wall space that otherwise would toe wasted.\ Panels of the perforated hardboard also can be installed in a-kitchen cabinet to provide handy hanging places for cups, pots and pans, and other kitchen utensils. Stored this SECTION TWO — PAGE THREE State Issues 'Kid Stuff Listing Child Attractions Publication of \Kid Stuff,\ a color- ful folder listing more than 30 tourist attractions of special interest to chil- dren, has been announced toy State Commerce Commissioner Edward T. Dickinson. Mr. Dickinson stated that the free folder would toe of great help to par- ents of small children planning a family holiday. The 16-panel, two- color folder was published in re- sponse to numerous requests received by the department for a list of this type. \All over America,\ the Commis- sioner wrote in a short introduction, \and in the Empire State especially, the youngster has become a tourist to toe reckoned with. . . . Attractions have been created expressly for him. . . . Audience participation is the theme of most of the attractions. Children don't just watch; they get into the act personally.\ While this edition limits itself to attractions that are purely for chil- dren, the Commissioner pointed out, \it should be borne in mind that there are many other attractions in the state which appeal to children as well as adults.\ He suggested that for a Guilderland HAMILTON UNION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

SCOUT CAMPING TRIP Troop 50 of the Guilderland* Boy Scouts spent an enjoyable week at Old Forge, July 20-Aug. 5, The campsite was situated on the.beauti- ful peninsula of First Lake just above Old Forge. Sunday morning, toy common con- sent, the boys attended Nicholls Me- morial church at Old Forge, It was more than a vacation for the Scouts however, for many of them strove to earn merits and pro- mitions requiring study and active participation in gruelling events. Those succeeding were: Donald Fonda and Russell Case, promoted to first class; Ronald Lehman, second class; Joseph Elliott and Charles Tubbs, life saving award. Wayne Crounse added much to the hilarity and laughter of the group with his antics and humor. In all a (Continued ! &ti§f l itor 2, Section 2) cational community have been guilty of callously charging the taxpayer for everything possible (or impossible). Their public admission that they will only charge $8 per day for meals in the future, for example, is proof of this. 4. As one dwells on 3 above, we must think of major expenditures (for hundreds of thousands of dollars). If petty items such as tips, pressing and cleaning, etc. have been charged to the taxpayers illegally, what has hap- pened on major contractual obliga- tions? Did we get our money's wo^thJ^^^A^jtrong doubt exists. 5. The Audit and Control report also questions transfer between construc- tion funds. Taxpayer spokesmen have questioned this. This raises the ques- tion, how valid is the.budget as pre- sented to the taxpayer? 6.

The publicity and activity involved in the report sets a very poor example by persons who should be above all this. The article goes on with their ob- jective, i.e. \to produce a budget that will cover our expenses\ (how true!) \without cheating our children of good education\ (how false!) Our free wheeling spenders have cheated not only the children but the taxpayers. We can honestly state that they have cheated, because they imply that if the budget was cut, the children would be cheated. We shall soon see how \glad\ the Board of Education will be to know that there are men standing by, be- cause the new members have boon avalanched by queries about this ex- tremely derogatory report. They have also been busy in matters pertaining to construction, approval of construction, etc. and have already begun to effect and-ovcr stitch action in behalf of the taxpayer.

'Double Or Nothing' Pay , Preposterous, Says Shaw When employees seeking jobless benefits during plant vacation shut- downs are told they are entitled to \double or nothing\ we have reached the ultimate in ridiculous interpreta- tion of the law, according to Joseph R. Shaw, president of Associated In- dustries of New York State, Inc., Al- bany. \As peculiar as it seems,\ Mr. Shaw said, \it is nevertheless true that under the current interpretation of the unemployment insurance law thousands of production workers have been found qualified to receive job- less benefits in addition to vacation pay during vacation shutdowns, while employees not entitled to pay for their vacation are not entitled to job- less benefits if they take the vaca- tion in preference to accepting their employer's offer of work during the shutdown. As an,example Mr. Shaw said that a. large/; firm in.jithe. Sputheriv .^i§r^ EmplbiynteJiTt,^^ pariy does'-not jna.k¥ wbrfi \WiiWbW to its regular employees during- their two weeks' paid vacation, those em- ployees may'apply for and receive un- employment insurance payments for one week. On the other hand, toe- cause new employees with less than one' year's employment are entitled only to the vacation without pay the company offers them work for the shutdown period. Consequently, if these employees choose to take their vacation along with the others, even though they do so without pay, the fact that work is available makes them ineligible for the jobless benefit \bonanza\ which their vacation-paid fellow workers are entitled t o receive. \Thus those getting paid for the vacation may apply for and receive jobless benefits. Those taking the vacation without pay are not entitled to benefits payments. In effect, the state says, 'It's double or nothing!'\ Mr. Shaw declared. Describing the situation as one which has become \so preposterous as to almost surpass understanding,\ Mr. Shaw called, for \bold and forth- right action by government leaders who,\ he said, \were aware as early as four years ago of the potential dangers lurking in this loophole of the present law tout have failed to enact the simple legislative corrective requested by employers in every one of these last four years.\ Going Camping? Here Are Tips On The Equipment Bread and milk delivery, garbage collection, lifeguards! Doesn't sound like a rugged camping vacation, does it? Conservationists at the State Col- lege of Agriculture report all these and other comforts at more than 30 campsites in the Adirondacks and Catskills. Even so, they advise August va- cationers heading for the out-of-doors to go prepared..' Camping is lots of fun if you have the righ^ equipment Here are a* ley suggestions of what to include in your camping gear. 1. A good tent is money well spent. Make sure the tent is well ventilated and^ screened. Provide enough room to cook, under shelter in bad weather.' ,, 2. A table and a.'piace to sit add to the luxuries of camp living. 3. Although camps have fireplaces, a small portable stove makes cooking, less of a chore. 4. Cot or sleeping bag and air mattress. Whatever you choose, make sure you'll be comfortable. 5. Other items worth taking are a canvas water bucket, lantern\ .dandles, mirror, rope, hatchet, insulated food box, and insect repellent 6. If you're a newcomer to camp- ing, talk to-persons who have camp- ed. It's easier to profit toy the ex- perience of others. MEMO TO HOUSEWIVES: , u.
