APRIL, 1960 RECEIVE 5 YEAR SE 1 m jfc Rachel Gray. Spinner, Clinton her five year pin from Overseei Supervisor, and Claude A. Crocki stand by to offer their congratulatic Employees to receive five-year pir "Both Are Important" We frequently hear and read about the importance of Togetherness, which is well and good. We know that putting the Spirit of Togetherness into practice is important: in the home, in the church, in school, in business and industry and in the community. In fact it is this Spirit of Togetherness which is responsible in large measure for the many years of successful operations of Clinton and Lvdia. Even though we all recognize the value of the Spirit of Togetherness, we need also to practice more and more the Spirit of Otherness. In the Clinton-Lvdia family this means of course our thinking about the other fellow in all our relationships while on and off the job that is. about those with whom we are closely associated in the vari 11 Kegulars Keturn CAVALIERS 01 With twelve members of last year's pennant winners back the I960 Cavaliers baseball team opened the new season Tuesday night.

Harry Foster, er. Industrial Relations Director, >ns. Rachel was one of 46 Clinton is. ous departments. Being considerate. being helpful, being kind, considerate and thoughtful one toward another these are ways of practicing the Spirit of Otherness. Being cheerful while on the job. lending a helping hand when it is possible to do so- these are other ways. Togetherness is fine for the group, large or small. But Otherness is needed just as much when it comes to our relationship with the one or two or three right "next door". We all need to remem ber that when Otherness is practiced. Togetherness comes naturally. From any point of view we may take toward these two terms, we must conclude that Togetherness and Otherness are both important today. Therefore, it should be our desire to practice both as we work and live together. PEN SEASON inactive last year.

THE CLOTHMAKER Gasoline Lawn Mowers ant I Outboartl Motors This is the time of year when the use of outboard motors, gasoline powered lawn mowers, and other small gasoline powered portable equipment is in full swing. While only relatively j small amounts of gasoline are involved, we should remember that as little as half a pint of gasoline, spilled on the ' floor, vaporized and ignited, can cause fatal results. For example, a three-year-old bov was burned to death in a nearby town because he ' piavea witn a gasoline can, upset it, and the fumes were ignited from the pilot of a , water heater. Common-sense safeguards for these hazards will be found in the following simple rules: Keep gasoline only in a standard safety can. never in a glass jug or an old can that may leak or spill its contents if upset. Keep the can in the garage or outdoors. Keep gasoline on hand only in the quantity immediately needed for current use. It is much better to make a few extra trips to a gasoline filling station to replenish y o u r supply than endanger life by keeping an excessive quantitv in the home. When refilling the gasoline tank of the lawn mower or other device, always stop the motor and wait for it to cool if it is hot. Don't smoke while pouring gasoline and he sure there is no other possible source of ignition nearby. Remember that gasoline fumes are heavier than air and may flow along the ground unseen. Do the filling outdoors in an open area where there is free air circulation. Never handle gasoline in a basement or garage where the basement floor is below the surrounding grade. If your garage is above grade and you keep the door open, there may not be any great danger in doing the filling operation just inside the garage door. However, be sure that you have a clear path of escape in case the gasoline flashes. Remember that the simple act of pouring gasoline from one container to another can create static electricity. Don't hold the can in the air but have the metal spout in direct contact with the fill opening when pouring. If you do your own repair operations, use the same precautions in draining gasoline as you would in filling. Use high flash cleaning fluid rather t h a n gasoline for washing soark dues a n d cleaning metal parts. Never operate any gasoline engine powered equipment in a garage with the doors closed or in any other enclosed space. A husband has eaten so many frozen TV dinners that when he gets sick he doesn't go to a doctor he calls a TV repairman. Mother: "Son, why are you eating with your knife?" Son: "My fork leaks." Some Coarse . . . Some Fine . . The young father, pushing a baby carriage, seemed quite unperturbed by the wails emerging from it. "Easy now, Albert," he said quietly, "control yourself. Keep calm." Another howl rang out. "Now. now, Albert," murmured the parent. "Keep your temper." A young mother passing by remarked, 'I must congratulate von' You know just how to speak to babies calmly, gently." She patted the youngster on the head and cooed, "What's bothering you Albert?" "No. no," cried the father, "his name is Johnny. I'm Albert." ************ In a Sunday School class discussion of temperance, one mother related that she learned how well she had taught her children the evils of liquor when her youngest, a TV cowboy fan. brought her a picture he had drawn of a cowboy in a saloon. "But don't worry. Mother," he quickly assured her. "He isn't going to drink anything. He just went in there to shoot a man." There are bigger things than money. For instance, bills. "When you married me this afternoon you promised to love, honor, and obey!" "Well. I didn't want to start an argument in front of all those people." April Showers Bring I April showers bring forth the beauty of green grass, budding trees and flowers in ahunrtnnrp* TCnt cilcn ate a danger on the highways which many folks don't realize. This danger is called "traffic film." It's created when rain combines with the oily greasy residue left on the road by passing cars and trucks. This traffic film on the highway may last only a half hour or so during a very heavy rain. A light drizzle, however, will cause a slick surface which lasts for hours. This film is doubly dangerous because it can be as slick as ice, vet it can't be noticed by the eye. When winter snows and ice cover the hiehwav. drivers normally slow down and use caution. But because they're unfamiliar with traffic film, they don't slow down when rain begins to fall. By the time the drivers realize they can't stop or steer properly, it's often too late. Driving Tips Here are some driving tips that will help minimize the dangers of traffic film. They are given bv Mrs. Ellie Herrick. Clemson extension fam 7 . Some with a Different Twist A six-year-old watching a repairman trying to locate the trouble in a television set said, "I bet if you'd clean out all the dead cowboys in the bottom it would work." The classified ad offered a dog for sale: "Grown boxer. Will eat anything. Especially fond of children." A workman was perched on the top of a ladder, cleaning the clock above the entrance to a bank. Suddenly an inquisitive passerby hailed him. ' k Q n ?-*-> ^4 U i ?-> *-r - i L. *t KJ\JI Hauling WI Ullg W J LI1 me clock, mister?" he asked.

Reduce speed at least 10 miles an hour as soon as you see the first raindrops fall, or when you first come upon a wet road. 2. Test the pavement for slipperyness. when no other cars are close, by tapping on the brakes. 3. Stay far enough behind the car in front so it won't spray roan grime on your windshield. 4. Make sure your tires have plenty of tread, especially for open highway driving. You might get away with fairly old tires on a dry pavement, but not when it's raining and traffic film might be present.
