A good machine shop is one
of the most important assets
of a modern textile plant, and 1
well equipped and manned 1
shops are found at both Clin- j
ton and Lydia Mills. c
The best way to describe t
activities of our shops is to

Those are figures for both \
mills. Now let's take a look j
at the plants separately and \
these figures show, which we ?
already knew, that Clinton is \
slightly larger than the Lvdia ?
mill, having 1,031 employees ?
as compared to the 805 at (
Lydia. t
We have 395 houses with |
1,757 rooms housing 1,620
people at Clinton, which is
an average of slightly more
than four people in each
house.
At Lvdia we have 286 houses
with 1,196 rooms housing
1,193 people, or the same average
of about four to a house.
There are 438 Clinton employees
not living in the village
and 594 who do, while at
Lydia we have 407 working in
the mill and housed while
398 are not. Clinton has 12 in
the services and Lvdia has 22.

"For forty-seven cents!"
(This poem was used by William
Jennings Bryan as part of his 1896
Presidential campaign... His fears
seem to be coming true today ?
while the dollar was worth 100 cents
in 1939, today's dollar has fallen in
buying value to only 53 cents!)
Bank Servi

which provide you the best
leceipt possible in paying
bills. The bank does all the
bookkeeping on your checking
account, furnishing you
a monthly statement with
your cancelled checks?all at
no cost, and in the meantime
your money is safe from loss
or theft.
Let us look at a few other
services of a bank.
We make change. Suppose
you had a dollar and wanted
to buy something for 75c, but
the store had no change. He
would either have to owe you
a quarter or reiusc to sell you.
That seldom happens because
the bank provides change to
anyone, thereby helping you
and the storekeeper to keep
business going.
We lend money. By lending
money at low bank
interest rates, many people
can have cars and other
necessities and luxuries
which they might not otherwise
have. Money borrowed
in the right way is a form
of saving, yet you get the
qoods in advance and pay
back later.
We help maintain schools,
fire and police departments
and other things in our city
and county which most of us
take for granted. This is
through taxes which not
everyone pays, but everyone
who owns property does. As
a property owner, the bank
pays taxes helping to provide
schools, police and fire pro*

leuuun ior an 01 us.
We help provide jobs. Perhaos
a mill plans a large new
addition for more looms or
sninning and does not have
the money on hand to pay for
the addition all at once. The
bank loans the money which
is paid back over a period of
time, but in the meantime
more spinners and weavers
are at work.
We save your money. Money
placed in time deposits draws
interest, therebv increasing
your savings while providing
a safe place for it. All deposits
are insured.

Rev. George A. Anderson
of Presbyterian College made
the principal address of the
evening, speaking on "Organization."
Cooperation and
teamwork are "musts" in our
nome. ciud and community,
he told the ^roup.
The hostesses. Mrs. Joe
Terry, Mrs. J. V. Lowe and
Mrs. Elvin Holtzclaw. served
sandwiches and punch during

We help make your Christmas
a merrier one. Have you
ever seen Christmas drawing
near and yet you know there
is not enough money for the
gifts you want. Si. all amounts
put away weekly or monthly
in our Christmas Club assure
you of extra money right before
Chiistmas.
These are only a few?
but important?services of
a bank. Advice is another.
As a bank deals constantly
with monev problems, it
can often advise a person
the best way to solve his or
her financial difficulties.
We hope all Clinton and
Lydia employees will become
familiar with all the services
a bank has to offer. Any of
our departments will be glad
to explain their operations and
how they can help you at
any time.
Good Sleeping
Pays Dividends
The problem of getting a
good night's sleep (or day's if
you are on the third shift) is
never an isolated one for anv
ot us. It is closely associated
with our work, our social relationships,
and our emotional
attitudes.
In considering what, if anything,
parents can do about
assuring adequate sleep for
the young people of the family,
it is a good thing to start
asking what, if anything
adults can do about getting
adequate sleep for themselves.
Adolescent boys and girls are
just young adults. True, their
adulthood is newly acquired,
and they need more sleep than
do those who are more used
to being grown up and who
are not so active physically.
Yet, with this one exception,
the need for extra sleep with
which to establish their new
adult "frame of mind"?their
sleep problem is an adult
sleep problem.
The best sleeping "medicine"
for any adult is a
1 J _ *
gooa aay 01 work that turns
out satisfactorily. Healthful
weariness combined with a
sense of accomplishment
makes everyone relish a
good night's rest. The thing
that thwarts the most natural
desire to sleep after a
satisfying work day is irregularity
of sleeping habits.
Although few people like to
go to bed at exactly the same
hour each night, and some
people would not consider life
worth living if they had to do
the same thing always at the
same time, yet a sense of
rhythm of turning out the
lights very frequently at the
same hour is apt to bring
sleeD with an pa so nnlfnnum
to the erratic individual who
goes tc bed at all hours.
Next to satisfying work and
regular habits of living comes
the provision of good physical
conditions for sleep. Quietness,
darkness, warmth in
winter and coolness in summer,
plenty of fresh air and
proper covering are great aids
for the kind of sleep from
which you wake refreshed
and ready for a new day.
If you do not feel that way
when you get up, give a little
thought to why you are not
sleeping well. Chances are it
is one of the things mentioned
above and bv correcting what
ever it may be, it will be
worth a lot to you in the way
you feel from now on.
