APRIL IS, 19S6 WE ARE ALL C< DAY TO DAY, I We would be better off if 1 we had no such thing as busi- i ness competition? Some peo- 1 pie think so. If you take a < narrow view of competition, i it may seem to be undesirable, because ever so often i it causes a business to sell out, or to close up?resulting in lost jobs and lost investments. Yet competition is really a ^real creative force of life. 1 It is operated throughout all nature, through all time. Imagine the world if the lowly forms of life that first came out of the seas had not had to compete! The necessity to compete for food, sunlight, 1 and air?to be adaptable to 1 changes in climate and environment?resulted in higher and higher forms of life gaining footholds on the land. Those which established themselves in good competitive positions are still here, and thriving. The poor competitors, like the giant rep- 1 tiles, are gone. In our own lives, competition has been the inspiration not only for beti r products, but for entirely new products, and for more kinds of products. Makers of oil lamps nrst competed among themselves, but then there came the time when they all had to compete against gas lamps. Gas and oil light both ran into tough competition in the incadescent electric lamp. Now, fluorescent light is very much in the running against conventional electric bulbs. As competition multiplied plant and animal forms during the rapidly changing conditions in the earlv ages of Earth, so has economic competition given us an immense number and variety of industrial marvels?for our comfort, our health, and our enjoyment of life. Competition has created far more things than it has made obselete. It has opened up a vastly greater number of new businesses, new opportunities. and new jobs, than it has closed down. Every employee is a competitor, whether he realizes it or not. He is in competition with people doing simi lar jobs in other companies. Frequently he is in competition with people he doesn't Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of (Jod.? (I John 3,1.) Each of US camp llltn thic world filled with the love, the good, of our Heavenly Father. We depart from them through our own wilfulness, selfishness. Rut even then God continues to love us as His children, ever ready, through our prayers, to forgive and help us. JMPETITORS VERYWAY know are alive?people making a different product perhaps, but one which may become a new challenge to his company and his job. All of us want security. But no company can possibly build a security wall between itself and all the other companies which are competing in the same market. Putting security above everything else is often the surest way to lose security. The only nt'ant ir?oKln ^ uv.vi\.uuic way ill ^ctllllll^ security is to be a good competitor. Safety Program Is Important To Everyone If we were traveling down the road and came to a sign in the road which read. "Danger ? Road Closed ? Bridge Out," we would not drive through the sign and keep going or believe that the sign was for others but not ourselves. We would realize that it was there for a warning for you and mi as well as others. A good safety program is in a way compared to the sign in the road. It's for everyone. It is a means to help keep us informed, to teach us the right and wrong way to do certain things but will never stop us unless we are willing to cooperate. Of course, some in accident prevention programs, just as on the highways, still go right on ignoring all that is done to help them and eventually turn up in first aid rooms and even hospitals. Our safety program here at Clinton and Lvdia Mills is planned and set up for everyone. even those who think. those who have never had an accident, and those who never come close to a machine. So please, help out with it so that you and your friends around you will not be hurt. ... Security ... The thing we prize most highly is SECURITY on our jobs, in our health. for our families.
