GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION v. PEEPLES.

WEBB, Judge.

Whether the method used by an employee in seeking personal comfort is "normal and prudent" is a material issue in a workmen's compensation case ( Thornton v. Hartford Acc. c. Co., 198 Ga. 786, 789 ( 32 S.E.2d 816); McDonald v. State Hwy. Dept., 127 Ga. App. 171, 174 ( 192 S.E.2d 919)); and where findings as to material issues are not made, the case must be remanded to the board. U.S. Fire Ins. Co. v. Phillips, 120 Ga. App. 51 ( 169 S.E.2d 665); U.S. F. G. Co. v. Gentile, 134 Ga. App. 318 ( 214 S.E.2d 406). Here, as in Noles v. Aragon Mills, 110 Ga. App. 374, 375 ( 138 S.E.2d 598), "[i]t is ordered that the case be recommitted to the State Board of Workmen's Compensation in order that proper findings of fact may be made on the issues involved," which shall include findings as to medical expenses and disability.
