CLINTON - LYDIA MILLS Vol. 4. No. 12. Dec. 1955 Clinton. S. C. VOL. 4. NO. 12 Savings Plan Provided For Next Christmas Immediately after the Christmas holiday, employees of both Clinton and Lydia Cotton Mills will have an op portunity to participate in a Christmas Savings Club. Under the provisions of the 1956 Christmas Savings Club, employees may designate payroll deductions which will be made each week for 50 weeks, and the total will then be repaid to the employees shortly before Christmas next year. Employees may select any amount which they wish placed in the savings fund. For example, if one dollar a week is deducted, the em ployee will have $50 in his or her fund before Christmas of next year. Christmas saving funds have proved highly successful across the country and the management feels that the payroll deduction plan for Christmas savings will meet with the approval of Clinton and Lvdia employees.

LYDIA CENTER IS DECORATED The Lydia Mills Community Center has been completely repainted and decorated and will be the scene of many Christmas parties during the approaching Christmas holiday season. The reason so many people have trouble making both ends meet is that they try to take in too much territory.
