6 ABSENCE DOESI THE HEART GRI That old saying about absence making the heart grow fonder may be true in some cases. Here at Clinton-Lydia we do not like to believe in the saying at all. unless it mav be in cases of illness or other such causes over which we have no control. For whenever anyone of us is absent from our job, everyone suffers. Our management provides us with modern, well-equipped departments for every operation. They purchase machinery and equipment to turn out first class, high quality cloth. Yet even with these favorable factors, we cannot hope to do the necessary job if the men and women we count on daily are not on their jobs. Not only does the absent employee l _ i ? " " - lose, Dut leilow employees lose, too. Production can be slowed down in departments and the quality of the finished product suffers. We cannot stress too greatly that we all suffer because of the absence of JUST ONE employee. Machinery might not be repaired, for example, affecting not only the department where the machine is located, but also all other departments down the line which are depending on the output from that department . . . just because one of us did not fulfill our responsibility. Personal reasons usually account for the largest number of absences. Illness, excused time off and unexcusod absences can play havoc with production schedules, quality and earnings?when we are away from our jobs. We could very easily and truthfully say that "Missing in Action" actually describes an employee absent from his or her job. It's not just the loss of individual effort that really makes the problem so serious ?it's the way scheduling of materials, work hours and the morale of others are affected. Because all of us must work to earn a living, we should be mighty interested in the cfpQrlcr n ?v. 41 A u.vuui winfjiuvincriii mat can be attained only by being on the job daily. Our ioremen and other supervisors are not the only ones depending upon us to be on the job, but our fellow workers, our families and our customers are expecting us. too. We all know that our jobs and the regularity of work depends on sales. Sales depend on quality and production. Quality is built into our mm m A GLORIA is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. J.

All parents are invited. Our Two Sides Can Be Dangerous As we look at ourselves we will find that our very natures are divided. There are two distinct parts in our make-ups?one good and the other, bad; one safe and the other, reckless. Let's talk for a few minutes about the safe side and the reckless side. This safe part of us, just as the good, wants us to be sure, to never do anything that we shouldn't, and to remain whole and uninjured, while the reckless side or part of us continually keeps after us to take a chance, get in a hurry or to just flirt with an accident. It is the sign of good selfcontrol and training for us to be cautious, never take a chance, and never tempt accidents as our reckless side tempts us. Which side will we choose? Just how well can we control ourselves? And what will be the final score? Better be sure, better choose right, and keep accidents away. Let's depend on our good self, our careful self, and be happy and safe for the rest of our lives at home, at work, and on the highways.
