LYDIA MILLS BOY SCOUT! with Scoutmaster George Flem IT'S EVERYOr EVERYONE'S PROBLEM Two big problems facing business in the months ahead are how to increase sales and how to cut costs. Business is tightening its economic belt and companies are making every effort to outsell their competitors. Cutting costs is one of industry's major problems in today's "buyers' market." It is a constant concern of every manager and it should be uppermost in the minds of employees if they want their companies to move ahead in a highly competitive period. A firm can get orders only when it can outperform its competitors in quality, price, delivery, and service. These are the things the Purchasing Department at Clinton-Lydia Mil's takes into consideration before placing an order for materials, and you can be sure the neonle who hwv our nrod ucts do the same. Too often, production workers assume it's the salesman's job to sell our cloth, and management's job to control costs. But they forget that their own jobs are more important than just making the products. Poor workmanship causes staggering wastes of labor, time and materials, which not only result in poor product quality, but raises the cost of the product. Yes, product quality and production costs depend very heavily on the production worker. There are a lot of little things, too, that add up to big costs. The worker who dirties cloth is doing his part to boost costs. So is the employ ee wno aoesn i Domer 10 picK up a quill spilled on the floor, ar the sweeper who discards a broom that has plenty of life left in it. Little things? Sure.

To impress workers with the importance of good workmanship. one company put signs up in its plant that read: "Your job depends on sales, sales depend on quality, and quality depends on you," Low prices and high quality mean more orders, more orders mean continually improving business. And better business means more security fnr p\rprv omnlnuoo and Viic family. So, the problem of increasing sales and cutting costs is one for each and everyone. AN ANCIENT PRAYER Give me a good digestion. Lord, And also something to digest; Give me a healthy body, Lord, And the sense to keep it at its best. Give me a healthy mind. Oh Lord, To keep the good and pure in sight, Which seeing sin is not appalled, But finds a way to set it right. Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not whimper, whine or sigh; Don't let me worry over much About this fussy thing called "I". Give me a sense of humor, I .nrd Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness in life And pass it on to other folk.

If you couldn't guess the pictures, the one on the left was made in the Shop and the one on the right in the Spinning Department. Included in the Shop picture are an outside caliper, stilson wrench, a chuck key, pitch guage, thread tap and lathe shavings. In the Spinning Room, the photograph shows a lap hook, travelers, rings, a top roller, an apron and a spindle.
