CLINTON - LYDIA MILLS Vol. 6. No. 1 Jan.. 1957 Clinton. S. C. VOL. 6. NO. 1 PT y* m |& 9 Lydia Woman's Clu On Tuesday evening, December 18. the Lydia Woman's Club enjoyed the annual Christmas party at the Lydia Community Building. The building was beautiful with its Christmas decorations. Mrs. Horace Smith, president, presided over the short business session, after which Mrs. Tommy Crisp installed the new officers of the Club in a very inspiring ceremony. White carnation corsages were pinned on each of the officers by Mrs. E. C. Burdette as their duties were outlined for the coming year. '56 Month Old man '56 proved to be an eventful year for us. Just how good a year it was, depends to a great extent, on how we evaluate it. Years are sually judged in terms of business conditions, world peace, medical and scientific advancements, etc. We also judge it in terms of our personal gains and losses. It was a difficult year for the textile industry, but as a whole it was a good year. Clinton's and Lydia's prestige as producers of top quality print cloths continued to grow. Additional benefits and services for employees and their families were introduced. A general wage increase, averaging ten cents per hour, was made effective. Within the plants the longrange improvement program continued vv h i c h means greater job security for everyone working here. As we embark on a New Year, let's take a brief backward glance at some of the events which benefited us. January Clinton Mills begins 60th year of operation. P. S.
