The first action on the part of manufacturer of automatic machinery to do something about the workers displac ed by its products has been takenin New York There John Snyder Jr chair man of US Industries Inc one of the leading manufacturers of automation equipment announced that each robot sold or rented by his firm would pay duesf to new foundation set up to ease automations effects on workers The foundation will study practical as pects of automation including retraining of workers rather than handle theoret ical aspects It will not consider monetary grants to persons left unemployed by automation According to Snyder automation is in evitable Its use is rapidly increasing and makers of automation machines must take positive affirmative steps now to preserve the human values bound up in todays changing times The action is in the direction of help ing workers displaced by automation to help themselvesto better jobs Neither the workers nor the union will be asked to contribute to the fund which will come from the sales of machines Ex pectations are that the foundation will re $50000 to $250000 this year sharp increases in the future as more automation equipment is sold This is positive move for the benefit of those workers whose jobs are taken over by machines The Canadian gov ernment has similar ptograinin oper ation andsome industries are assisting in retraining workers who otherwise would be left jobless through automat ion There 15 work to do the retraining of workers to meet the challenge of the day Isapproved action in increasing the productive

disposltions recovered in an av erage of eight days dont care to hazard any guesses as to precisely why our emotions play such part but doctors see it happen every day and others see it happen occasionally Emotional depres siun DOES something to us Now of course we cant just say to depressed person Cheer up and expect him or her to do so by sheer will pow Il We can however do quite few things we couldnt do short time ago For instance getting sluggish thyroid perk ed up Sometimes other chronic deficiencies can be readily treat ed nagging anemia to cite only one And sometimes there is In varying degree what we know as depression in the purc ly emotional sense This too now yields to medication in great many cases These depressions at their most severe can turn an aver ager happy person into glum recluse They can and do lead in severe cases to suicide Its that sort of thing the whole world looks dark purple There have been and still are extreme cases in which electroshock

by Dr Charles Hill minister of housing and local government This money will be available to stimulate the build ing through nonprofit housing associations of houses maison ettes flats and flatlets to be rented to people who are to need of housing and cannot se cure it through any other means There are in Britain at the present time 650 housing assoc iations owning 104000 rented houses The view of

Works Loan Board which at present is per cent The ministero planfas announced provides that these loans are obtainable only through memb ership in housing association SIMPLE PROCEDURE This is not expected to prove any barrier to acceptance of the scheme It would be poss ibla for suitable tenants in al most any part of the country either to join existing associa tions or to form new ones for themselves Since the minimum membership required to form an association is only eight this means that four families in each of which the husband and wife would both be mem bers would be sufficient to form an association and qualify for loans to build houses The cost of the homes would not normally exceed $9000 ex cluding the cost of the land While it is made clear that loans for terms up to 60

cost from their own financial resources While it is not intended that these homes shall be subsidized from public funds the minister indicated that there will be pro vision for an exception to this rule In the case of homes built specially for the accommodation of old people subsidy amou nting to $72 year for each home for 60 years may be paid subject to the ministers appro val To ensure that start is make as quickly as possible on the building of homes for rental under the scheme preference will be given in its early stag es to projects of existing holis ing associations or new bodies
