��For families and relatives, the period of time between a death and
the tlnal disposition is a period of considerable confusion.
Few people have ever had the personal experience to know exactly
what has to be done at a time like this. It is for this reason that your
funeral director stands willing to grant you all the necessary counsel
and guidance needed during the next few days.
It is his wish in presenting you with Guidelines that it might offer
some assistance during this period of uncertainty.
The purpose of this book is to provide informative guidelines and
basic factors to be considered in the making of funeral
arrangements. Expressed thoughts found in the succeeding pages
are derived from extensive physiological studies of grief therapy, and
are in no way meant to influence a family's personal request.

�THE FUNERAL,
AN E X P E R I E N C E OF V A L U E
No man is an island. His death touches and affects his world of
relatives, friends, and associates in a direct and forceful way. In
arranging a funeral it is well to consider the feelings of others who
shared in or benefited by the life of the deceased. For sorrow shared
is sorrow diminished.
The funeral is a ceremony of proven worth and value for those
who mourn. It provides an opportunity for the survivors and others
who share in the loss to express their love, respect, and grief. It
permits facing openly and realistically the crisis that death presents.
Through the funeral the bereaved take that firm first step toward
emotional adjustment to their loss.
A funeral is an unique event in the life of a family. No two are
exactly alike. It should also be remembered that the funeral of every
man, famous or unknown, rich or poor, can be equally important for
those bereaved he leaves behind.
The funeral is one of the few personal events and ceremonies to
which none is invited but to which all should be able to come. In a
very real way, the funeral not only recognizes that a death has occurred, but it also is testimony that a life has been lived.
T H E PRESENCE OF THE BODY
A funeral with the body present gives identity and purpose to the
service. With the body present, a climate for mourning exists which
makes the sharing of sorrow natural. Without the body, expression
of sympathy may be forced, empty and unnatural for many people
and makes the acceptance of death difficult for others.
The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death.
This, psychiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy
adjustment to loss.
There are some who want to deny that a person has died and that
such a person's life on earth has ended. The presence of the body in
the casket actualizes the fact of death. Viewing the body serves to
reverse the process of denial while it promotes the acceptance of
reality.
P U B L I C OR P R I V A T E F U N E R A L
A public funeral gives the community a chance to offer its support
and share the sorrow of the immediate family of the deceased. An
1
�outstanding pastoral psychologist has written that "the funeral and
the varied events that surround the ceremony are for those who live
on."
A private funeral limits those who may attend. It arbitrarily shuts
out relatives, friends, associates and acquaintances who sincerely
want to bring comfort to the bereaved.
C A L L I N G HOURS
Funeral practices vary. In some areas the greatest number of
people pay their respects to the deceased and to the survivors by
attending the funeral service. In other places, the largest number
call at the funeral home or at the mortuary while the body is lying in
state. Some do both.
Sometimes attendance at the actual funeral service is not possible
because of the hour or day when it is held, but many people will want
to pay their respects during the so-called visitation period which may
be referred to as, calling hours - visitation - a wake - or a shivah.
Having the body lying in state with members of the family present
encourages sharing the experience of death and mourning. It is
gratifying both to members of the family and to those who care
enough to call.
F L O W E R S AND O T H E R M E M O R I A L S
Many persons wish to express their sympathy by sending flowers
or some other memorial in addition to extending their condolences
in person. Others do this because they cannot be present at the
visitation or service.
Those who wish to demonstrate their feelings should be able to do
it in the way they prefer. Flowers, for example, have a message all
their own. They add beauty to the casket setting and to the funeral
service. It is considered proper for the family to suggest a certain
memorial, but it should not be done in such a manner that any other
form of expression is excluded.
EXAMPLES:
(Good) In remembrance of Mary Jones those that wish may make
contributions to the building fund of the John Doe Hospital.
(Poor) Please omit flowers
No flowers
Send no flowers

�CHILDREN ATTENDEVG T H E FUNERAL
Authorities agree that it is not only correct to permit a child to go
to a funeral but, from approximately the age of seven, the youngster
should be encouraged to attend. The child needs to participate with
his family in offering his last respects to the deceased as well as to
express in his own way love and devotion. To shut him out of this
experience is to deny him a significant and meaningful life experience that can have important consequences for his future
emotional development. If the child is unwilling, however, he should
not be forced to attend a funeral or made to feel guilty because he
"let the family down." In any event, children should not be spared
knowledge about death.
THE CERTIFICATE OF DEATH
Your funeral director has the responsibility of seeing to it that all
the required statisitical information about the deceased, as well as
the place of interment or cremation, is placed on the original certificate of death.
He then in turn refers this official document to the deceased's
attending physician for his certification.
This certificate now becomes a permanent record with the
registrar of vital statistics in the town, village, or city in which the
death occurred.
The registrar, for a nominal fee, will issue to you certified copies
of the original death certificate which you and-or your attorney will
need for the following estate settlement purposes:
1. Insurance claims of all kinds
2. Veterans Administration benefits
3. The sale or transfer of real property
4. The sale of transfer of stock and bond certificates
5. Banking transactions
6. Motor vehicle registration transfers
7. Others
INSURANCE
Sometimes the mere word "INSURANCE" can be looked upon as
being complicated, but the filing of an insurance death claim is a
relatively simple procedure. The following steps should be taken by
the beneficiary of a deceased's insurance policy:
1. Contact if at all possible the InsuranceCompany's local office or
3
�agent in your area. If you are successful, they will handle the death
claim for you. CAUTION: Do not surrender the insurance policy
without an authorized receipt.
2. If there is not a company office or agent in the area, this claim
may be processed by mail.
3. Write a letter to the home office of the insurance company whose
name appears on the face of the policy. State the name of the
deceased, the date of death, and the policy number of the insurance contract. C A U T I O N : Do not send the policy in to the
company.
4. Enclose with the above letter, one certified copy of the original
death certificate.
5. Within a two or three week period the named beneficiary should
receive the face amount of value of the insurance policy.
6. The next of kin of the deceased should always check all other
possibilities of insurance claims including unions, fraternal and
other organizations the deceased belonged to that may offer a
death benefit.
T H E L E G A L ASPECTS O F D E A T H
The earthly possessions, known as the estate of the deceased, must
be distributed after his death. Any assets that are left must be used
to pay any debts, and any balance left must be lawfully distributed
after payment of estate or death taxes. If the deceased owned or
operated a business, the business must be administered and
maintained in an orderly manner or must be liquidated.
In order to accomplish this process of distribution, legal
proceedings are necessary to decide how any property should be
distributed and who is to be in charge of this distribution. Because
of the technical nature of these proceedings and all the complications involved in settling the estate and distributing the assets,
it is advisable that a lawyer be consulted.
Some, not all, of the major matters to be considered are listed
below:
1. Did the deceased have any property? Is there any real estate,
stocks, bonds, bank accounts, personal items, or other types of
property? Is this property held in the name of the deceased, or is it
4
�held jointly with someone else?
2. Did the deceased leave a Will? Where is the Will located? What
are the provisions in the Will regarding the distribution of the
property? If there is not a Will, what is the state law regarding the
distribution of the property?
3. If there is a Will, who was appointed the Executor of the Estate?
If there is not a Will, how can proceedings be brought to appoint
an Administrator? If a court is to appoint an Administrator, who
is the court to appoint?
4. Are the assets of the deceased subject to any state or federal estate
or death taxes? If the assets of an estate are less than approximately
$127,000.00, or $250,000.00 if there is surviving spouse, the estate is
not generally subject to the federal estate tax, but smaller estates are
often subject to State death taxes (the law varies from state to state).
Is a certificate of payment of taxes necessary to clear the title of any
Real Estate?
5. Is the deceased the sole owner of an automobile or trailer, or is
the vehicle owned by the deceased and another person? Does this
vehicle become part of an estate?
6. Is the deceased a sole proprietor of a business, in a partnership
with another person, or a member of a corporation doing business
under an assumed name? What are the provisions of the partnership or corporation contract in the event of death of one of its
members?
There are many other considerations that often arise, but a
competent attorney should be able to advise of any matters not
discussed above.
BANKS-SAFE D E P O S I T B O X E S
Because all banks are subjected to state and federal statutes
governing their operations, it is very difficult to satisfactorily define
the banking rules and regulations in any one given area. General
banking law also undergoes constant change from time to time
which makes it impossible to pin point local procedure in the event
of death of an owner of an account or safe deposit box.
It is recommended that the bank that holds an account or safe
deposit box of the deceased be contacted directly to find out the
5
�necessary steps to take for the release of their contents. Although it
may not be absolutely necessary, generally the services of a competent attorney is desirable to handle these matters.
SELECTING A LAWYER
The basis for selecting a lawyer for legal guidance and professional
advice should be made on past experience or of a personal acquaintance
nature. He should be selected for reasons of trust, confidence, respect
and the ability to effectively settle an estate in a reasonable length of
time. In the event you do not have any previous experience with a
lawyer, a close friend, your employer or even your funeral director
will be able to recommend a competent attorney to you.
SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
When a person who has worked under the social security law dies,
some member of his family should get in touch with the social security
office. If you cannot come to the social security office because you
are housebound or hospitalized, write or telephone and a social security
representative will arrange to visit you.
Long delay in filing an application can cause loss of some benefits,
since back payments for monthly cash benefits can not be made on a
retroactive basis. Cash benefits to survivors arefiguredfrom the amount
of retirement or disability benefit of the deceased.
In most cases a lump sum death benefit is paid to the dependent
of a worker under the social security program. An application for a
lump sum death payment must usually be made within 2 years of the
worker's death.
Monthly payments are also paid to dependents when a worker
dies. These dependents are:
1. Unmarried children under 18 or between 18 and 22 if they are
fulltime students.
2. Unmarried children 18 or over who were severely disabled before
they reached 18 and who continue to be disabled.
y
3. A widow, regardless of her age, if she is caring for a child under
18 or disabled and the child gets payments based on the worker's
record.
4. A widow 60 or older even if there are no children entitled to
6
�payments.
5. A widow 50 or older (or dependent widower 50 or older) who
becomes disabled not later than 7 years after the death of the
worker or, in the case of a widow, not later than 7 years after the
end of her entitlement to benefits as a widow with a child in her
care.
6. A dependent husband or widower 60 or over.
7. Dependent parents 62 or over after the worker dies.
8. Others: Social security benefits are subject to constant change.
For this reason, if any question of elegibility arises, contact the
social security office.

BENEFITS FOR SURVIVORS OF VETERANS
State veteran counselors and veteran service agency directors provide
specialized counseling on benefits available to the survivors of veterans
and servicemen, under the different programs established by local,
state, and federal laws.
Your funeral director may be able to offer guidance in making application for one or more of the following benefits:
BURIAL ALLOWANCE: An authorized federal government burial
allowance up to $300.00 is provided by the Veterans Administration to
the widow, children, parents, or any person who pays the funeral
expenses of an eligible war-time veteran, or certain peace-time veterans.
Claims must be filed within two years of permanent burial or cremation.
PLOT OR INTERMENT ALLOWANCE: Public Law 9343, enacted
June 18, 1973 provides for payment of an amount not exceeding $150
as a plot or interment allowance, in addition to the $300 basic (nonservice connected) burial allowance, only when the veteran is not
buried in a national cemetery or other cemetery under the jurisdiction
of the United States Government. Burial in a State, County or Municipally owned cemetery does not bar payment of the plot or interment
allowance. If the cost of the grave, mausoleum space, columbarium
niche or any other place of final disposition has not been paid, the plot
or interment allowance is applicable thereto up to $150.00. If the
amount unpaid is less than $150.00 then the balance between the unpaid amount and $150.00 can be applied to other funeral and burial
expenses, whatever they may be. If there are no unpaid plot, grave,
mausoleum, columbarium niche or other place of disposition expenses,
the entire $150.00 may be used for other expenses, including those relating to the funeral, cremation, interment receptacle, transporation
and the like.
IN SERVICE DEATH BENEFIT: Public Law 9343 also provides that
when a veteran's death is service connected, burial and funeral expenses
may be paid in an amount of $1,100.00 and is in lieu of the $300.00
basic burial allowance and the $150.00 plot interment allowance.
8
�TRANSPORTATION: Transportation costs, when payable, are in addition to the non-service and service connected benefits.
A BURIAL FLAG: This is available for draping the casket of a wartime veteran, a veteran discharged or released because of a service connected disability, or a veteran who has served at least one enlistment.
The flag is presented to the next of kin following burial.
BURIAL IN NATIONAL CEMETERIES: This is available to any veteran of a war-time or peace-time service whose last period of service
(other than for training) terminated honorably. Reservists who die
while performing active duty for training, an eligible veteran's wife,husband, widow, widower, minor children, and under certain conditions,
unmarried adult children are also eligible. U.S. citizens who served in
time of war in the Armed Forces of an Allied Government may also be
eligible. All expenses incident to the grave site and actual interment are
provided without charge. Application should be made at the time of
the veteran's death.
HEADSTONE OR MARBLER: The government will furnish, free of cost
a headstone, or marker to be placed at the unmarked grave of a member
of the Armed Forces of the United States or the Confederate States of
America who died in service or whose last discharge was honorable. The
next of kin has a choice of four different markers or headstones at the
time application is made. Upon application, a monetary reimbursement
is now available to families wishing to purchase a monument or marker
other than the one provided by the Veterans Administration.
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT L I F E INSURANCE: It should be
determined first if the veteran carried this insurance as a result of an
option after leaving actve duty. Application and information for filing
claims for U.S. Government life Insurance should be obtained from
the nearest Veterans Administration office. Forms may also be obtained by writing to the Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C.
20420.
DEATH PENSION: A (Non-Service-Connected Death) pension is payable to eligible unremarried wodows and minor children of deceased
war-time veterans, depending upon their income and, in some instances,

permanently incapable of self-support due to physical or mental
disability.
D E A T H G R A T U I T Y : (Six Month's Pay of Deceased) is payable to a
deceasedveteran's spouse or children (parents, brothers, or sisters, if

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING A C E M E T E R Y PLOT
In the brief period between death and burial, cemetery plots and
graves are sometimes purchased by a family without careful thought
and often without a personal visit to the cemetery and later found to
be inadequate or undesirable.
Quite often persons buying cemetery plots in haste will not buy
enough graves, or they will purchase many more than the family will
ever utilize in future years. To avoid mistakes and to meet the
present and future needs of your family, the utmost consideration
should be given this decision.
When purchasing a cemetery plot, one should ascertain whether
the cemetery meets the requirement of the family's religion.
One should also determine just what restrictions, if any, the
cemetery might enforce in regard to the kind of outside burial vault
to be used and the type of monument or memorial to be erected.
Buying a cemetery plot for investment purposes is considered an
unwise practice. The majority of cemeteries retain the right to
repurchase a plot at the original price. For this reason, even though
the lot may have increased in value, there is rarely a profit realized
by the purchaser.
MONUMENTS OR M E M O R U L S
Within a very short time from now, you will be called upon by one
or more retail monument dealers, suggesting that you purchase a
memorial from them.
One should take particular care during this after period of
emotional strain to avoid the hasty purchase of memorials that are
of questionable quaHty or are priced beyond their means.
To give all cemetery plot owners general protection, most
cemeteries retain the right to approve the type of memorial to be
placed on a grave site. Some cemeteries have restrictions on size and
design of memorials, while others require that only a flush-with-theground bronze plaque be placed.
After determining if any cemetery restrictions prevail and
deciding just what your individual needs and desires are, H reputable
retail monument dealer should be contacted.
The quality, material, design, and craftsmanship of a memorial
11
�you are going to have erected permanently deserves very careful consideration.
WHAT DO FUNERALS COST?
In the realm of everyday living, you are constantly confronted with
the age-old question: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? This holds true
whether you are purchasing an automobile, a house, a boat, television
set, or even something as small as a loaf of bread. You should likewise
be concerned with the question of cost in making funeral arrangements.
Funeral costs are no secret, but often are misleading by not being fully
explained at a time when it is difficult for families to understand.
Whether a funeral home uses a system of charging one price for the
complete funeral based on the casket selected, or they itemize their
charges individually, there are four basic factors that constitute the cost
of funerals. These are merchandise, professional services, use of funeral
home facihties, and cash expenditures.
MERCHANDISE: Merchandise may include such items as the casket
selected, the outside burial case or urn, clothing provided by the funeral
home, and memorial folders and-or acknowledgment cards.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: Professional services are the personal
services of your funeral director, and the arrangements and supervision
conducted by himself and his staff of personnel.
USE OF FUNERAL HOME FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT: There
is a vast amount of cost involved on the part of your funeral director
in providing and maintaining a funeral home facOity capable of
satisfying the requirements of each and every family he serves. It is for
this reason the Funeral Home Facilities and Equipment category is
a pertinent factor in the cost of a funeral.
CASH EXPENDITURES: Cash expenditures that are occasionally
advanced to the family as a courtesy of the funeral home may include cemetery and crematory charges, clergy honorariums, church
offerings, limousines, flower cars, newspaper notices, certified death
transcripts, flowers, professional pallbearers, gratuities, etc. In certain
instances a state law or local policy may prohibit a funeral home from
extending a family cash advances.
In determining funeral expenses, consideration should be given to
12
�the assets of the deceased. Insurance, veteran benefits, social
security, and other resources is the basis for a family's ability to take
financial responsiblity for a funeral of a loved one.
QUESTIONS MOST F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D
ABOUT CREMATION
Q. Do we need a casket for a cremation service?
A. Since a cremation funeral service is the same as any other, the
casket is used in the same manner and for the same purpose. For
health and esthetic reasons, most crematoriums require that a
casket or some form of combustible container be used.
Q. Is a funeral director necessary?
A. His services are exactly the same as for other forms of care, and
his services are needed for the first call, embalming, casket
selection and conducting of the service.
Q. What authorization is required for cremation?
A. Specific requirements vary with the different states, but as a
general rule written instructions from the family and a permit
from the local health authorities are required for the protection of
the family, the crematorium and the public.
Q. What are cremated remains or cremains?
A. They are recognizable skeletal fragments of the human form
which weight from 6 to 12 pounds for adults, depending upon the
size of the individual. On the average they occupy about 175 cubic
inches of space. They are not "ashes" or "dust".
Cremation is not disposition; it is only a method for preparing the
remains for memorialization. They are still human remains, and
should be placed in a dedicated place such as a columbarium,
mausoleum, family plot in a cemetery or other places where they
will receive continuing care. In rare instances a deceased will
request that his cremains be strewn over a designated area. This
practice is by far not the most common, but is permitted by law in
some areas of the country.
13
�W H E N D E A T H OCCURS F A R AWAY
Because of temporary employment transfers, vacations, etc., a
death occasionally will take place far away from the deceased's
home. The distance factor automatically necessitates your home
town funeral director to call upon the professional services of an
associate at the place of death. He will direct the person called to
prepare the deceased for transfer, file all required permits and
authorizations, and make the necessary arrangements to have the
deceased transported home by funeral coach, airplane, or train
depending on the distance involved and the most effective mode of
transportation available. These additional services will be
reflected somewhat in the total funeral statement a next of kin will
receive at a later date.

�E T I Q U E T T E QF A C K N O W L E D G M E N T
We hope the following suggestions will prove helpful in
acknowledging the various expressions of sympathy you receive
during your bereavement.
The acknowledgments you receive from your funeral director
should be sent within ten days or two weeks after the funeral. In
order to give your expression of gratitude a more personal touch, a
few words may be written on the inside of these Acknowledgments.
This tends to make the recipient feel that one's thanks are as personal as if they had been expressed verbally.
C L E R G Y - Send a personal note (not a printed Acknowledgment)
thanking him for his consolation. If an offering is sent it should be
sent separately from the note.
E X A M P L E : Dear Mr. Smith or Dear Father Smith (not Dear
Reverend or Dear Rev. Smith). My husband and I wish to thank
you for the consolation you gave us during our most trying times.
Your comforting words during the funeral service will help us
tremendously.
B E A R E R S - (including honorary but not professional). Include a
message of thanks for their time and services in the
Acknowledgment.
E X A M P L E : Thank you for your kindness in acting as a pallbearer
for Father. Being one of Dad's closest friends made this very
meaningful to us.
L E T T E R S - - Replies may be brief, and written on an
Acknowledgment. At a later date you may feel more like writing a
longer note to particular persons sending letters.
E X A M P L E : Thank you for your kind words of sympathy. It is so
nice to have friends like you.
T E L E G R A M S - A few words on an Acknowledgment if you wish
is sufficient.
E X A M P L E : Your telegram was most appreciated.
F L O W E R S - A personal message may be written on the
Acknowledgment if you wish.
E X A M P L E : The vase of Roses you sent for Dad was beautiful.
M E M O R I A L S - Treat the same as flowers.
E X A M P L E : The contribution you made to the community hospital
in Dad's memory was greatly appreciated.
29
�SYMPATHY CARDS - If there is a personal message on the card and
you feel you should answer it, you may do so on an Acknowledgment.
It is not necessary to acknowledge a plain sympathy card.
E X A M P L E : Your comforting words during this time were most
helpful.
E X P R E S S I O N S O F S Y M P A T H Y F R O M AN ORGANIZATION
- Send an Acknowledgment to the President or Secretary of the
organization and include in the message reference to the other
members.
E X A M P L E : Dear President Jim: The vase of Red Roses sent for
Dad by the members of the Nowhere Rotary Club was greatly
appreciated.
E X P R E S S I O N S O F S Y M P A T H Y F R O M AN UNORGANIZED
G R O U P - When a group of neighbors, employees, etc., send an
expression of sympathy, send an Acknowledgment to everyone listed
on the card.
F R I E N D S WHO V O L U N T E E R E D S E R V I C E S , CARS, OR
SENT F O O D - A personal note on an Acknowledgment is
satisfactory.
The following are suggestions of classifiednewspaper-typethankyous oftentimes used in addition to regular Acknowledgments.
C A R D O F THANKS
The family of Charles M. Smith wish to thank their relatives,
friends, and neighbors for their kindness during their recent
bereavement.
C A R D O F THANKS
The kindness and sympathy shown to us by our family and friends
during this time of sorrow will always be remembered by the family
of John J. Doe.
C A R D O F THANKS
I wish to express my sincere thanks to all my relatives, friends,
and neighbors for all their kindness and sympathy during the illness
and death of my beloved husband John Doe. Special thanks to Rev.
John Smith and the Nowhere Funeral Home.
Mrs. John Doe

�C A R D OF THANKS
We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all our friends and
neighbors for flowers, food, cards of sympathy, and memorials sent
at the time of the loss of our wife and mother Mary M. Smith. A
special thanks to the Smithtown Hospital staff. Dr. Jones, Rev.

��" G o placidly amid the noise and haste and remember
what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible
w i t h o u t surrender be on good terms w i t h all persons.
Speak y o u r t r u t h q u i e t l y and clearly; and listen to others,
even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
A v o i d loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the
s p i r i t . If y o u compare yourself w i t h others, you'" may
become vain and bitter; for always there w i l l be greater
and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy y o u r achievements as well as. y o u r plans. Keep interested in your o w n
career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of t i m e . Exercise caution in your business
affairs for the w o r l d is f u l l of t r i c k e r y . But let this not
blind y o u t o what virtue there is; many persons strive
for high ideals, and everywhere life is f u l l of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign a f f e c t i o n . Neither be
cynical about love; for in the face of all a r i d i t y and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take k i n d l y
the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the
things of y o u t h . Nurture strength of spirit to shield y o u
in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself w i t h
imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle w i t h yourself.
Y o u are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and
the stars; y o u have a right to be here. A n d whether or not it
is clear to y o u , no d o u b t the universe is unfolding as it
should. Therefore be at peace w i t h G o d , whatever y o u
conceive h i m to be, and whatever your labors and
aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace w i t h
your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful w o r l d . Be careful. Strive to be h a p p y " .

Wherever you may be employed on the
second line of our defense . . . amid the
brain-rattling din of a shipyard; the Hades
heat of a steel mill; the roar and clatter of
a factory; the quiet hush of a drafting
room . . . you represent American manpower.
You, men and women alike, are the soldiers of SUPPLY. No one has to tell you
NOW that you are as important to our final
victory as the soldiers, sailors and pilots
who man, fire and fly the instruments of
destruction you help manufacture.
All of you who read the newspapers
know that an army is only as good as its
suppHes. SUPPLY and communication lines

�must be established before an army can
move to the attack.
Those supplies which our armed forces
will need in ever-increasing tonnage are
being produced today by American war
workers. They are being produced by the
greatest industrial empire this world has
ever seen, created by men of genius, courage, strength and determination. Free men.
The mounting tide of our vast industrial
production has been accomphshed through
unity of effort on the part of management
and labor. When the citadel of American
liberty was attacked, management, labor,
and government forgot their differences for
a common cause. Today they stand like

thirty-four odd miUion Americans must be
clothed and fed. •
The loss of a single worker in any part
of the war effort slows down production!
If you are a worker in a factory, or plant,
producing goods for civiHans your job is
just as important as that of any war worker.
Our generals and our leaders realize home
morale must be maintained. Our Axis enemies seek to destroy it. Propaganda and
violence are their weapons. YOUR presence on the job is just as important as that
of any war worker.
General MacArthur told his soldiers:
"Every American soldier must kill five
• Japs."
Manpower must be spread thin. Tremendous demands upon our great industrial
empire will be made during the next year
of war. Battle-losses must be replaced
quickly if the tempo of attack is to be maintained. Through Lend-Lease we must sup-

�ment takes time and might mean the difference between victory and defeat!
You, then, as a soldier of supply, must
stay on the battle-line of industrial production until Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini, and
their armies, have been completely crushed.
To stay on the job means something more
than desire. I don't think any real American would dehberately stay away from any
job he felt aided the war effort. There are,
however, imforeseen things . . . things we
don't think about which might be the
cause.

The common cold still ranks as the top
knocker-outer of men and women from the
ranks of manpower. There's much you can
do about beating this national menace: get
plenty of rest; drink plenty of liquids; eat
lots of nutritious foods; take medicines prescribed by a physician.
We live through four seasons—WinterSpring—Summer—Fall. Each season means
adjustments in the clothes we wear, the
exercise we take, the food we eat and the
way we live. I n all seasons sleep is important. War workers must have proper rest
to do their jobs. Eight hours should be
enough. Less than six is not.
[41
[5]
�All of us are making money. It is natural
we should want to spend some of it on a
"good time." Have your "good time" the
night before your day off. The next morning you can pound your ear.
Drinking. Too much alcohol off the job
can cause tragic accidents on the job. A
"hangover" can slow your reflexes up to
40%. On high speed machines this can
mean loss of a limb or eye. Don't drink on
the job—you are endangering yomr life and
the hves of fellow-workers.
As for seasonal habits:
Winter. Dress warmly. Your clothing
should be hght in weight, warm in texture.
Eat foods containing starches and proteins
(fats). Exercise. You should work up a
sweat, followed by a warm shower or bath.
Sleep. Warm, hght covers in room temperatures not over 65°.

toward open vsdndows. Never direct the
blast of air at yourself. Cold wiU result. Hot
drinks (tea) are most cooling. Too many
iced drinks increase body temperatures.
Spring and Fall. These in-between seasons are the tapering off periods. They are
the most dangerous. Don't take chances of
shedding winter clothing too quickly in
Spring; or dressing too hghtly as Fall
arrives.
Summer. Dress lightly. Avoid long hours
in direct sunlight. Eat plenty of greens,
vegetables, fruits, and drink fruit juices. If
you take violent exercise (or work in high

invigorates. Bowling, handball, squash, tennis, volley-ball, golf, boxing, hiking, scores
of other sports are excellent. They condition you for your job, too. If you can, walk

�Women. If you have a home and family
to care for keep in good health. Get plenty
of rest, relaxation and exercise. If housing
conditions are bad and your child must be
boarded out in a nursery, keep in mind
that the job you do today makes for a better America tomorrow.
Injuries. Don't take chances! Cuts,
burns, scalds, foreign bodies in your eye,
should be treated at once by a doctor or
nurse, no matter how minor you think they
are. Infection fights with the Axis.

SAFETY
The plant in which you are employed
will have done everything within their
power to safeguard you on the job.
If you have any suggestions that will
further prevent accidents during operations
suggest them. Your foreman will be only
too glad to hear about it. Keep in mind
that during each and every working day
some worker discovers a new method of
operation, a new safeguard for workers, a
new shortcut to speed up production.
Your suggestions on safety, or any other
suggestion that will protect or produce,
will be gratefully received by the management.
[8]
[9]
�If uniforms are provided, or demanded,
in the work you are doing, wear them.
They are designed for your protection.
If you wear goggles operating abrasive
machines, or other machines from which
particles or sparks fly, wear them.
In a war plant the other day a worker
came into the plant hospital cursing. He
had a steel splinter in his eye.
"in be
1" he gritted. " I just hfted
my goggles for a minute and look what
happenedl"
He was off the job for three days suffering with that eye.
Wooziness. If you get that hght-in-thehead feeling report to your foreman at
once. Don't try to stick on the job in the
hopes that feeling will pass. I t might, but
a it does not you might suffer serious injury.
Good Housekeeping is the essential to
safety. Don't fling tools around carelessly;
[10]
don't allow spilled grease to remain on the
floor; don't toss inflammable waste into a
corner, or around your machine, or bench.
Put it in the metal container provided for
its disposal. T r y and keep the area in
which you work as clean as the living room
of yom: ovm home and you'll reduce accidents 70 per cent.
Most plants employ janitors to keep the
aisles clear, the grease mopped up, but,
make it your job to see to it that there is
less disorder, better housekeeping for your
own, and your fellow-worker's safety.
Cooperate.
If you are clean and orderly, take good
care of your tools and equipment, keep
your eye open for new safety methods, cooperate with your management and fellowworkers, you will produce more and
produce better and safeguard your life.
[11]
�That's where yon, the worker, come in.
Cooperate. Suggest.
4
COOPERATION
Only God is perfect. Keep that uppermost in your mind. Your foreman is a human being. He has the same headaches
(only more most of the time) that you
have. He makes mistakes just the same as
you do. He might make a mistake that directly affects you, but it isn't dehberate.
H e l l be glad to correct it because in the
last analysis he is interested in producing
the most with the least cost and waste of
time.
It's a safe bet that as human beings you
are not going^ to I3ce every worker in your
unit, or every foreman, or supervisor you
come in contact with. That is impossible.
We all know very well that ff, in a
gathering of a dozen people, we meet one
person we like instantly we have been very
lucky.
The important thing to keep in mind is
this: you are doing a job . . . a great job.
You are working to win the war. If you
don't like Jack or Sally that's too bad, but,
they too, are doing a job. They are working to win.
The same thing goes for management.
They will try to do everything for your
betterment and the betterment of the
plant's production but like all of us, human
beings, they might not think of eversrthing.
When you went to school, as a boy or
girl, you had a "pal" or a "friend" you i k e d
best. The rest of the class were just so
many other kids. It will be that way all
through your hfe. That's the way we're
made.
[12]
[13]
�" I can't stand that foreman," a worker
complained. "He's got a sense of htmior
like an undertaker."
He was right, too. The foreman was just
one of those men who was born with an
inverted sense of humor. He couldn't help
it and the harder he tried to be a "good
fellow" the deeper he shpped into the
quicksand of dissatisfaction with his
workers.
One worker solved it vsdth the others
over the table in a restaurant this way:
" I don't care a hang for Fred," (the foreman) he said, "but we've got to look at it
this way. We work for pay. We're working to knock Hitler and his pals for a loop.
Just because Fred happens to be a sourpuss
half of the time and about as fuimy as a
crutch the rest, doesn't mean we should all
lay down on the job. Let's just do our jobs
the best we know how. After all we're not
married to the guyl"
only side you should be on is Uncle Sam's
side.
All over this great country of ours there
are millions of people of different faiths,
different creeds, different colors, yet, we
have worked for a common cause . . . to
make this land of hberty and free enterprise the greatest in the world.
We have done that job because we have
done, each and every one of us, our ovra
jobs to the best of our abihty.
Let's all pull together and hang Hitler
and Company higher than kites.
That's a pretty swell ideal Do your job.

Brig.-Gen. Claire .Chennault, leathery,
tough-fisted leader of'TTie"American Flying
Tigers, said:
ABSENTEEISM
Absenteeism is hurting the war production job. The bad thing about this high
rate of absenteeism is that most of it is due
not to sickness, or injury, but to deliberate
staying away from the job by war workers.
Unless a war worker is flat on his, or her
back, sick, or injured, or some serious emergency within their immediate family has
come up, they should not be absent from
their jobsl
For every hour lost, 'a soldier, sailor or
pilot will die in the blood and roar of battle.
"If we had the same mmiber of planes
the Japs have we would drive them the
heU out of Burma."
He was right. These reckless Knights of
the Blue shot down a ratio of fifty Japs for
every American. They were forced to make
repairs of active planes from parts of others
that had been shot dovra. Some of them
were actually held together with baling wire
toward the finish of that epic! Yet, these
Flying Tigers power-dived those ships
head-on into echelons of Jap bombers and
Zero fighters!
Military leaders always write the history
of their victories or defeats in the stmiming
When the alarm rang they were on the
job, ready, eager, with what equipment
they had, to tackle 'the Jap. They never
asked for time out. When the davm patrol,
which protected the Burma Road, was
called out, they all reported.
[16]
[17]
That's not propaganda^that's
the truth!
�Marshal Rommel, recognized as a brilliant strategist by Allied commanders,
couldn't do anything but flee with his army
when the British Eighth Army, and American fliers got together more guns, more
men, more tanks, more planes.
You can't produce equipment to beat the
Axis by staying away from your job. You've
got to be in there every working day, giving
your best.
The day we throw more shells, more
bullets, more men, tanks, jeeps, planes,
mechanized cannon at 'em the quicker the
war will be won and over.
hberately you're letting down a soldier,
sailor, or pilot who trusts you.
If you are going to be absent on something you know about in advance notify
the foreman. This gives him a chance to
replace you for the time you will be out.
If you don't notify him precious hours are
lost in making the replacement.
If you are taken sick during the night
have a member of your family call the
plant, or the foreman's home, and tell him
about your illness. Let him be prepared.
One days fighting all over the world
means the loss of life to thousands of Alhed
troops; the loss of hmbs and sight, and
hearing to thousands of others; capture and
abuses for thousands more.
I f what you do today can end the war
tomorrow those thousands of fighting men
will owe their lives to you!

ATTITUDE
What you think affects the way you act.
You must think right to act right.
There will always be a certain element of
the people who are "boss haters." A psychologist can tell you why they "hate" the
boss, or the plant, or their fellow-workers.
I t is simply this:
If they can't build a house of their own
they're determined to tear down the other
fellow's house.
There used to be a saying that people
never asked how you made money, just how
much did you make.
Don't believe that! Don't think the average hard-working American respects a
criminal with a lot of money. They respect
a man who has made money through sheer
abihty and drive.
[20]
I don't think that anyone resents the fact
Thomas Edison made a lot of money
through the discovery of the powers of
electricity. He brought a new life to milhons of people,all orer the world.
All men are created equal. Some men
do better in the race of life than others.
We all wind up equal at the grave.
You can't take it with you!
You, as a war worker, are paid wages
for the work that you do. The management
of your plant has the right to ask that you
do the job you are paid to do to the very
best of your ability.
If Y O U have a radio, or car, or whatnot,
repaired, you expect the radioman, or
garageman to do the best job he can for
you. I f he doesn't you feel justified in not
paying him for not doing it. Either that,
or he loses your confidence and your trade.
What Y O U expect from the other fellow
you should expect your boss, or management, to expect from you.
The management of your plant has a
tremendous investment at stake. I n one
large plant I know of, mathematics proved
[21]
�that each worker represented an investment
of more than $12,0001 That's not hay!
This money was invested in tools, equipment and plant space for each worker in
that plant.
Most workers don't realize values. This
is directly rated to their attitude. Tools
and equipment represent money. That
money had to come out of the profits of
the management and be returned to the
plant for repurchase of more tools and
more equipment.
Tools and equipment represent the earnings of management and labor.
Tools that are lost, strayed, stolen or
abused are dollars and cents in the working day.
Take the proper attitude toward your
machine, tools, and equipment. They are
entrusted to your care by management.
Treat your machine and tools as though
they were your own. I n the final analysis
they are. They represent the difference
between profit and loss.
A company cannot operate on a lossplus basis 1
[22]
Here is an example of a lack of values: a
worker dropped a valuable die on the floor.
He was sorry, blushed, and said to the foreman, "There goes twenty bucks!"
On the way off the shift that night the
foreman fell into step alongside the worker
and said, "Dick, you made a remark about
that die costing twenty bucks. Do you
know how much it really cost? Do you
care?"
"Sure I do," Dick rephed. "I'm sorry
about it."
"That die cost $130, Dick," the foreman
related, "and the time and man hours it
will take to replace it, plus the time lost in
our unit will run close to five himdred."
Normal depreciation of machines and
tools are figured out by plant managers.
What they can't figure on is a machine
slated to last the company 10 years burning itself out in half that time due to lack
of proper care by workers.
Dick had the right attitude but he had
no idea of values.
As we begin to scrape the bottom of the
barrel for raw materials replacement of ma[23]
�chines is going to be harder and harder.
This might well mean that replacement of
worn-out equipment, vital as it might be,
will have to go by the board.
That can only mean two things: the
operator of the worn-out machine is out
of work and our armed forces will have to
do the best they can with what we can
produce on the machines that are left.
If you l a v e the right attitude, if you are
interested in your job, interested in the
part your plant is playing in the war effort,
whether you are making arms and munitions, or civilian needs, you will be a good
worker and a happy one, too.
Sabotage and Espionage: Every wartime worker should know all they can about
them. There are saboteurs; there has been
sabotage . . . sabotage in which war-time
workers have lost their lives; sabotage that
has created crippling bottlenecks.
There are spies. They seek and pry. I t
is their job to find out: production rates;
new weapons we might manufacture; ship
and troop movements; to steal plans, and
work with the saboteur.
[24]
The Axis worked patiently for eight years
honey-combing this nation with spies and
saboteurs. We cannot undo that work in
one year. The FBI\has done a wonderful
job. State, local and industrial poHce will
continue to be alert. You, the war-time
•worker, must be alert. It is Y O U who might
and can detect attempted sabotage. Y O U
are on the job. You can spot a spy. While
the police number in thousands Y O U workers number in millions.

�pie can buy, or impose taxes, to pay the
cost.
When you read a headline—"War Cost to
Government 100 Billion"-that is 100 Billion
of our money, employer and employee alike.
WHY WORKER TAXES?
It is no secret that this war is costing
money. The more money we make the
more money we pay in taxes. That is the
way it should be. Each month billions of
American taxpayers' money is poured into
the vast cauldron of war. Economists figure it will cost the United States 10 times
as much to fight this war as Great Britain.
- . . 20 times as much as it will cost Russia.
Higher wages, higher costs for materials,
a higher standard of living are the reasons
for our heavy war debt.
The government hasn't any money. The
government makes no money. When the
government has a bill to pay for some project whether it is WPA, or a dam, or a
super-highway, it must issue bonds the peo[26]
This year there will be about 40 million
taxpayers. Simple arithmetic will give you
the answer to the individual cost to each
man, woman and child in America.
Pay-as-you-go taxation had to come and
a manner for the collection of these taxes
had to be devised. On the old system the
taxpayer paid in 1943 for earnings in 1942.
With millions of workers making from 25%
to 50% more than they ever earned before,
with more milHons working who never
worked before, the tax collection situation
looked bad.
Here is an example: John Smith was a
porter in an ofiice building earning $1,000
a year. Now he is a carpenter's helper at
$105 per week, or $5,260 per year. He
should have no trouble paying his taxes on
the latter income, but one of these days the
war will end and the need for carpenter's
[27]
�helpers will not be as great. If he is lucky
John Smith might get his $l,000-a-year job
back.
Now, if this happened under the old system John Smith would have a $985 tax bill
to pay with a $1,000 income. That would
leave him $15 for all other expenses and,
of course, he would wind up in the poor
house, or on relief.
Under the pay-as-you-go tax plan John
Smith pays his tax on $5,260 as he earns
it, then, should he ever retiu-n to his $1,000a-year job he pays-as-he-goes on that, too—
$89 tax on the porter's job leaving him $911
to live on instead of $15.
The twenty per cent withholding tax,
which goes into effect on July 1st, includes
the Victory Tax.
This is only the beginningi
President Roosevelt, in his budget message to Congress in January 1943, urged
that tax bills be framed to carry 50% of
the war-cost load.
The nation, today, is spending at the rate
of 100 Billions yearly and taxing at the rate
of 30 Billions. Roughly Americans are
called on to pay only about 30% of their
war burdens.
The Congress has devised that there shall
be a 20 per cent withholding tax. A withholding tax merely means that the government has asked that your management be
its collection agent, deducting from your
weekly earnings twenty per cent for payment of taxes.
I n New Zealand they pay 66% of their
war costs through direct taxation; in Great
Britain 56%, and in Canada 50%. A l l of
these countries (and it is costing every one
of them Bilhons less to wage war) are
looking toward the future, not wishing to
saddle their children, and their children's
children, with an overbearing debt burden.
The tax assessments you paid in March
and June will be applied to your 1943 tax
returns.
The Government will collect a little better than 36 Billions by taxes for 1943. The
President has proposed that Congress draft
[28]
[29]
�a tax bill aimed at raising 16 Billions additional for next year.
We have just begun to fight. Victories
so far have been "preliminary." Our losses
in men and materiels have been relatively
slight. When the "all out" invasion of the
European fortress Hitler has built gets
underway, Americans will then, for the first
time, really begin to understand the grim
tragedy of blood and dollars needed to be
spent before final Victory is won.
Our fighting men are facing Death hourly
with a courage and determination that will
carry them to final,Victory. '
We must face our tax problems with the
same courage and determination imtil
Fasci-sm is crushed forever.
Don't Gripe . . . G I V E !
Military experts state (at a minimum)
that conquest of Hitler will come in the
FaU of 1944. The minimum guess for
Japan's final mihtary destruction is early
1946.
At the minimum, then, we face three
long, gruelling years of savage war. The
more we attack and attack the higher our
losses in men and materiels—the higher the
costs of war soar—the higher our national
debt rises—the more lofty our tax increases.
There is the saying: "There are only two
sure things—Death and Taxes."

SUMMARY
What does it all mean?
Do your job!
There isn't one element in our country
today—not even the Communists—who don't
think we've got one heck of a big job to
do together.
Democrats, Republicans, Management,
Labor, the Church, aU agree every one of
us must pitch in and give every ounce of
oui energies.
This is no time for petty bickering; this
is no time for one element to try and outstrip the other; this is no tune for anything
except complete agreement on one thing:
"WORK TO W I N ! "
Old workers or new workers . . . manpower or womanpower . . . management
[32]
and labor, must all hunch their shoulders
into the harness and pull together in ONE
direction.
Production miracles have been accomphshed since the smoke of Pearl Harbor
drifted away to reveal the treachery and
power of our enemies. What we thought
were great production figures ten years
ago are mere nothing today.
We are not fighting this war for Management, for Labor, for Democrats, or
Repubhcans.
We are fighting this war for freedom for
you and for me and in testimonial to those
thousands of American fighting men who
died at Pearl Harbor before they had a
chance to strike back.
We are ready to strike back now. When
we strike it will be a Joe Louis left hook
multiplied by the strength and devotion to
duty of milUons of fighting men and war
workers.
The Jap£ had it all figured out.
[33]
We
�would never rally. Management and Labor
were at each other's throats. The Republicans were sniping at the Democrats.
Subversive elements were nmning riot
throughout the country. We were fat, soft
and easy to take. What a shock they goti
