She says that she loves her work and wouldn’t change it for the world. Her main job is assisting her husband who does diving work connected with the salvaging. Roddie takes care of the air com- pressor and calls her job ‘a hose tender.” She says that she answers signals from the divers, sends them down tools or what ever they need, regulates the air, and acts as their eyes above the water. The Greenbalms have done most ‘of their salvage work in the vicinity of Dry Tortugas. In commenting on Fort Jefferson Roddie says that it-is a wond Place and there should be a for tourists to get there. To pass.the time away when her husband is’ busy, she makes dog- collars, leases, purses, cigarette cases and other items to be used as gifts to relatives. “It saves mon- ey besides being nice way to pass-the time away,”’ she says. ’ Mrs. Greenbalm presently is making Christmas cards. When out to sea on salvage work, Roddie says that ‘she does occa- sional fishing. The “Lee” was formerly a yacht but the Greenbalms convert- ed it to a work boat anda home. “The only bad thing,” Roddie said, ‘is that you can never get away from the work because of liv- ing on the boat, darn it,” Roddie, who is 22 years old, comes from Hoyston, Texas: She has been ‘ma: now for over a year to Bud, wi she met when she-worked in the office of an ex- port firm in New York City, y Railroads have carried U. S. mail for more than 100 years, power squadrons has indicated the presence of a large eddy in the Gulf of Mexico in the Naples to Bradenton region. “Study in the currents revealed by these operations definitely point to the existence of a large eddy, or circular movement of the gulf _| waters,” says Dr, Ilmo Hela, phy- sical oceanographer now with a staff of scientists of the Marine Laboratory engaged in research of Red Tide conditions off of Flori- da’s west coast. The actual discovery of such an eddy would be of considerable im- portance in present Red Tide in- vestigation because it would aid in more precisely locating the origin of certan types of Red Tide out- breaks that have, in the past, caus- ed the death of hundreds of millions of Florida’s salt water fishes. Also, jonce an outbreak occurs and is lo- cated within this giant eddy, its course and development could be more. accurately studied and pre- dicted: An immediate practical applica- tion would be in the removal of dead fish caused by the outbreak. If the fish follow the current of the eddy they would tend to be more localized and could be picked up and removed more quickly and surely. The Marine Laboratory scientist are conducting their present re- search aboard the Physalia, 85-foot completely equipped Marine Labo- ratory research vessel that has been based at St. Petersburg for the past two weeks. Physalia now has been docked at Boca Grande and is operating out of that port. During the next week studies will be made to gain more evidence of the existence of the giant eddy. Information now on hand seems to indicate that the waters of this gen- era] region move in.a circle in a counter-clockwise direction. Dr. Robert Hutton, marine bio- logist who is also working on the Florida west coast, states that he has found large concentfations of Gymnodinium brevis, the marine organism said to cause Red Tides, about 55 miles offshore from St. Petersburg. However, there was no visible evidence of an outbreak even though the number of these organisms was high. Dr. Hutton said it wouldtake some time to evaluate this finding. ‘ Red Tide research is part of the work the Marine‘Laboratory is con- ducting in conitettion with Flori- da’s salt water fisheries for the Florida State Board of Concerva- tion. ‘WHAT’S IN A NAME?’ WICHITA FALLS, Tex.

The story concerns an Anglo- Indian girl (Ava Gardner) who re- turns to India at the end of World War II and is caught in the political turmoil. She is torn between three loves: A British colonel. (Stewart Granger), an Indian Nationalist and an Anglo-Indian who runs a its | Strategic railroad. Reports from India’ indicated ; strong objections to the film. It was even stated that MGM would not be permitted to shoot it there. “That’s not true,” countered Cu- kor, who will direct the film. He has returned from five weeks dn India -and reported . cooperation from all the government officials he dealt with, “Right now we are negotiating for locations,” said the director. “We may shoot in India and we may shoot in Pakistan. It’s not a question of obtaining permission, There are other matters to be con- sidered: The use of troops, rail- roads and other facilities, plus mat- ters of customs and income tax.” Cukor said he, had helpful con- versations with many top Indian officials, including prime minister Nehru himself. The director added there was a natural sensitiveness on the part of indians about the book. “It is the same as if a French company were to come to - this country and announce they were going to make a film about the Scottsboro ease,” he said. “Or that they were going to touch upon the Sacco-Vanzetti case of make a film Employers Step Up Insurance For Workers By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON #—A new labor Department survey indicates the nation’s employers are making a much bigger contribution to insur- ance protection for their workers. The study disclosed that 95 per cent of the urban workers in the country enjoy some kind of health, pension or other insurance paid for by their employers, either whol- ly or in part. The department’s Bureau of La- bor Statistics, which made the sur- vey,-said it could make no precise comparisons with the scope of em- ployer-financed. insurance in earli- er years, but that a considerable expanion in this field was obvious. “It is evident,” the bureau said, “that the past two years insurance and pension protection has been made available. for the first time to substdntial numbers of workers, Killer Gets Stay Of Execution ATLANTA —Gov. Herman Tal- madge has ordered a stay of exe- cution for James Willie Morgan, 18, who was scheduled to die in ‘the electric chair today.

It did not include private health, pension or other insurance coverage the workers might buy for themselves. Nor did it cover such government insurance pro- grams as social security. The study covered six million workers in offices and plants em- ploying 50 or more persons. It was confined to the country’s 17 larg- est urban areas and skipped the small plants and towns. It showed that in -major lobor markets: 1, Nine of every 10 plant and office workers were covered by life insurance policies wholly or partly employer paid. Employers paid the entire cost for about half the workers so protected. 2. Eight of every 10 workers sur- veyed had hospital insurance, near- ly all the plans providing at least some si al cost reimbursement. More than half the workers also were protected by. sickness, acci- dent and medical care insurance. 3. Six of every. 10 workers were covered by pension or retirement plans. It was found three-fourths of the workers surveyed have the entire cost of this coverage paid for them by their employers. Generally, the proportions af plant and office workers covered for various benefits were about the same. However, 71 per cent of Of- fice workers surveyed were cov- ered by pension plans and only 58 per cent of plant or factory work- ers were so protected. Sickness or accident insurance covered 65 per- cent of plant workers, but only 45 per cent of office workers. * A greater proportion of workers were covered by various types of paid sick-leave plans than was the case for plant workers, It was found that “‘the great Major. ity” of both plant and office work ers were covered either by sick leave or sickness-accident insur- ance plans. Employer-contributed insurance benefits were generally greater among factory workers than among nonfactory employes. Workers ip the South—cities surveyed there be. ing Atlanta, Dallas, Memphis and New Orleans—were not as a rule found to be covered to the sam@ extent as those in other regions, Shop Now For Cristian Our Store Is Chuck Full of GIFTS for HIM at Sensible Prices Hickok Belts Leather and Suede 65c - 85c - $1.00 + All of the Newest Patierns and Shades SIZES 10 TO 13° Truly Wonderful Selection of Fine.
