If not leaving because of illhealth or disablement.
Piemium payment is required

the reasons why the cost is

If you sell your home and
mto an apartment, why con^ carry firt insuraace on
your former home?
Secondly, the moral hazard will
not permit us to carry people in
the Plan who are not gainfully
employed. If we paid persons $25
a week, not because they had lost
a salary larger than this amount
but merely because they are sick,
then many of them, unfortunately,
would become sick merely to col­
lect the insurance. Would you as
a policy holder wish your pre­
miums to go to this type of case?
If continuation of the policy is
desired, application for conversion
must be made within 30 dajrs after
leaving your present service, and
a new application must be sent in
and approved by the Home Office.
Please send the old policy along
with the new application.
Please note that this whole sub­
ject refers to continuation of the
policy and not continuation of
benefits under a claim. A claim is
good for a maximum period if you
became disabled while the pre­
miums were paid according to the
conditions of the policy carried,
even if you resign or leave the ser­
vice, permanently or temporarily,
during the disability. Many people
are confused on this matter, so
remember o<mtinuatioa ef policy
and continnatlon of claim are two
different things.

talents. In this way women whose
husbands raise turkeys have gone
into business together to market
canned turkey products. In an­
other community women have set
up a country store and Inn, one
woman contributing hotel manage­
ment, another her cakes and an­
other ‘shirt-tair aprons made
from scraps In her sewing basket.”
Home Shops
Successful home shops range
from custom millinery and alter­
ation center* to swap and thrift
shops. Party services are a good
“once-in-awhile" business. Chil­
dren are an important consumer
group and services catering to
their needs are on the increase:
these include baby-sitting agen­
cies, tutoring, day nurseries, day
camps, children’s party services,
story-telling and baby butler ser­
vices which supply eversrthing
from baby foods to bibs and
blanket pins.
Mrs. Fix-It
Household needs, the Ingenious
brochure informs, are also a good
way to gather u«p those extra dol­
lars. Odd-Job services are a farorite, from matching samples to
leaving things at the cleaners.
Shopping services, Mrs. Plx-It,
spring cleaning services, opening
and closing houses in res<nt areas,
sports equipment repair centers,
sweater laundries in college towns,
and wrapping services—aH these
are good, and women haw made
money out ot them.
Special Sidlls
Tlien. of course, there are the
special skills. The typist can have
a field day for herself with tlie
current demand. Any woman who
can finish antiques—or is willing
to leam how—can cash tai on
what Is becoming a growing busi­
ness. Specialized design stenciling,
repairing furniture or dolls, mak­
ing toys, Jewelry, lamps, or woven
goods, are aH valuable ways of
earning additional shekels in one's
spare time.

Pets need care. Can you board

are a few of the possibilities.
These aren’t the only ideas la

w hen you go out to find a person
to do a job, you first h ave to know
w h at th e job is. You h av e to know
w h a t th e w ork is in order to d e­
cide how m u ch it is w orth in dol­

th a t, you look for a person quali­
fied by ed ucatio n a n d experience
to do th e work.
A n oth er sim ple fa c t is th a t you
h ave to give th e person you employ
a ch ance to get ahead . You have
to h elp tr a in h im to do his work

they would th in k th a t she was
w asting a lot of m oney by ta k in g
his advice.
I f th is housewife would ad o p t
a “p osition classification,” it would
be quite sim ple. I t would consist
of two title.s—one would be la u n ­
dress a n d th e o th e r would be in ­
te rio r decorator. S he would also
know exactly w h a t work each p e r­
son would do. S h e would employ
a laundre.ss to w ash th e clothes
an d a n in te rio r deco rator to su g­
gest how to fu rn ish h e r home.
F o r h e r purposes, a “position
classification” is as sim ple as th a t.
O f course, if th e re a re 150,000
jobs involved, th e y would have to
be a rra n g e d in logical order, an d
som e o th e r m a tte rs would also ^
Involved, b u t th is is th e basic
principle.
T h a t is n o t all. In order to
m a k e th e position classification
work, th e housew ife would have
to go a step fu rth e r. She would
have to decide w h at she should
pay for th e work done. O f course,
sh e w ould h av e to give some a t ­
te n tio n to how m u ch h e r n eigh ­
bors a re paying fo r the services
of a laundress. T he te ch nicians
som etim es call th is th e ra te of
p ay p revailin g in th e com m unity.
T h e housew ife would decide, in
view of th ese facts, how m uch
sh e should pay for th e work. S he
would th e n m ake th e sam e deci­
sion on how m uch she will pay,
based upon th e work to be done.
S he h a s adopted w h at th e te c h ­
n ic ian s call a “pay p la n ” to go
w ith a “position classification.”
F o r h e r purposes a “pay p la n ”
is as sim ple as th a t.
Now a housewife m ig h t th e n go
to a n em ploym ent agency to h ire
a la u n d re ss an d p erh a p s to her
neighbors to get suggestions on a
good In terio r decorator. T h is is
h e r w ay of “recru itin g p ersonnel.’*
T h e B lack Book of Classification
T h e Civil Service Com mission is
th e em ploy m en t agency for th e
C ity of New York. Its problem
Is also to do for F a th e r Knicker-.
bocker’s 150,000 jobs w h at th e
housew ife h a s to do for two.
To m a in ta in some sem blance o f
order, th e Com m ission h as pub-,
lished a 262-page black-covered
book w hich it calls its “R ules an d
R eg ulation s.” In th is book we flndl
w h a t th e City is using as a Pos­
itio n Classification. T h e C ity’a
em ployees are grouped in to tw »
“services,” th e “classified” an d t h f
“unclassified.” One of these ser*
vices, th e classified service, is diw
ided in to fo u r “classes.” T h e b ig .
gest of th ese classes is called th e
“com petitive” class. T his class is
also divided, in to forty-six “se r­
vices” w hich a re also know n as
“p a r ts .” A lready you ca n see
th a t we h av e two kinds of “se r­
vices”— one a big service an d th e
o th e r a little service.
W e h ave m ade a th orou gh a n ­
alysis of th e classification book,

Conflict on Schick Law
P resident M cN am ara has w rit­
te n to Police Com m issioner A rth u r
W. W allander, inquiring w hether
he would join in ask in g a n opin­
ion from ^ e C orporation Counsel
on a co nstruction of th e Schick
local law w hich reduced fro m five
years to th ree th e tim e a P atro l­
m an h a d to serve before a tta in ­
ing top grade and pay. T he bill
provided for a tta in m e n t of first
grade in th re e years, b u t excepted
can didates in th e re c e n t S ergeant
exam ination, th e one contested in
th e courts on th e m ultiple “b est”
answ er score. T h u s a co n trad ic­
tion exists betw een th is law and
th e A d m in istratio n Code, w hich
m akes th e first grade decisive of
eligibility in prom otion exam ina­
tions, says th e Commission, a n d
h as to be ;5ettled.
T he petition in g Pa4;rolmen in
th e “best” answ er te st c£ise, h ea d ­
ed by G eorge B liu nenthal, say
t h a t th ey in sist th a t th e Conam ission abide by th e provision*
of th e Schick law, a n d if it fall*
to do so, will sue to compel It.
T h e P h ^ G ra d e P a tro lm e n who
have n o t been five years in th e
job say t h a t if th e Schick law
is followed, in respect to except­
ing th e S erg ea n t candidates, th e y
will sue to p rev e n t w h a t th e y call
th e practice of a r r a n t discrim inar
tion. So, eith er way, th e Com­
mission expects a law suit, an d
t h a t w ould delay th « p ro m ulga­

a year, certainly a t le ast for eight

President McNamara made It
clear that ha Is always glad to
take up with employees and their
representatives whatever griev­

department, he maintains an open
door. Any employee of tha Com^
mission may saa him personally
within 48 hours, and bring with
him whom he chooses, friend or
lawyer or any other representa­
tive or advocate. The employees
are utilizing the opportunity more
and mora, ristUng him mostly
alone. S o m t just grievances were

President McNamara admitted,
and ha did or Is doing what ha

I t was only n atu ral, too, fo r Denny to become one o f Now York

the LEADER was going to press.
The final number of names on the
list is 252.
Top man Is Herman Duester,
of 424 60th Street. Brooklyn.
However, he will be preceded on
the fixial list by 149 veterans, dis­
abled and non-disabled, before he
becomes eligible to get the Job.
Second man on the list is Murray
Hochman, of 9841 93rd Drive,
Queens, who is also a non-veteran,
and will have to wait his turn for
appointment while 150 men are
in line ahead of him.
The first name among the dis­
abled veterans is Anthony S. Carlantone, 24 Metropolitan Oval,
Bronx, and be will, under the law,
be the first name up for appoint­
ment to the Foreman post. His
grade of 86.12 makes him number
S in terms of the actual earned
''mark.
The list follows. The letter D
next to a name means disabled
veteran, the letter V means aondlsabled veteran.
