i ^ CLINTON - LYDIA MILLS Vol. 5. No. 10 Oct.. 1956 Clinton. S. C. /riff VOY. S, NO. 10 P Annual Rei ** OCTOBER" Old the Customs of Hallowe'en Although the name "HalloWLM we'en" is of k. A. VI Christian origin and refers to the eve of All Hallows or All Saints' day, the modern symbols and practices of the October 31 evening date back to pagan days. Druidic beliefs in ancient Ireland held it to be a night of dire foreboding when evil powers drove the sun into winter hiding and ghosts and witches held sway. But such specters as survive in Hallowe'en shindigs these days are on the sportive / side and frighten not even the ^ timid. '* The masque rading and pranks of the evening are festive relics of English and Iris customs, while th? "trick or treat" custom of children has its origin in Welsh practices of showing more than usual charity to the poor on Hallowe'en night. Company Security Means Job Security The person who wants job security can start his campaign where it will do him the most good . . . right on the job. An employee who does his best with every ta^k; who ines 10 avoid misiaKes as u they were a dread disease; who strives to eliminate waste of both time and materials, is helping his company and himself. Every organization has to sell its products against competition. Usually tough competition. To get his share of business, an organization must make a good product, price it reasonably, and serve its customers well. The employee who does good, steady, reliable work is helping that effort. He is contributing to his company's seeuritv ? without \ir h i o h there can be no job security. jCLq UBLISHED BY AND FOR THE d Feather I Football Program Oper i V&) ?y h The Fast-Playing Football Teai ities are shown above, with the lei the direction of Ellis Huffstetler < Coach Leatherwood at bottom.

CLINTON. S. < fo Start N Clintoii-Lvdia Kmei im-lu<le<l in the Red Feather week is just around the corner at Clinton and Lvdia Cotton Mills, Nov. 5-12, when all employees will be asked to contribute at least $4.00 each to support nine worth-while charitable and character-building organizations for the next twelve months. The goal of $4.00 minimum per employee is slightly higher than last year due to an increase in our participation in the over-all budget of the Greater Clinton Community Chest. Deductions Can Be Made Employees may make a cash donation to the United Charity Chest, or they may have deductions made from their paychecks over a four week period, making it possible to contribute more without having it taken out of one week's pay. Employees also may make a cash donation when solicited followed by payroll deductions for one. two. three, or four weeks, whichever is most convenient to you. A card will be given to each employee so he or she may designate how much to give and how they wish to pay it. A receipt will be given for all contributions. (Incidentally, contributions to the United Charity Drive may be deducted from your income MRS. CRISP NAf COMMUNITY DIRI Mrs. Edith Crisp, formerly of Buffalo, S.
