Next. President Vance, assisted by the respective departmental overseers and Superintendents. presented the service pins. Vice President George 11. Cornelson served as Toastmaster for the occasion. In a printed word of welcome to the honored guests, Mr. Vance said: "It is a genuine pleasure and privilege for my family ana me to meet with you tonight. We heartily welcome each of you to this occasion that you, the honored guests, have made possible. This is a time when we can express the sentiments we feel all year long appreciation of you as individuals and as a loyal, cooperative group of leaders in our Clinton-Lydia family. We never really feel closer to the heart of ClintonLydia than when we are with old friends like you. As long-service employees we depend on you to set the example for your fellow employees. Your attitudes, the things you say, the way you work, are imitated by those around you. Just as community pride is important, so is pride in vour job important, particularly so with you being honored tonight. Any bread which you cast upon the waters of company betterment will return to you in increased volume. To say textile market conditions are not bright would be a gross understatement. Each day it becomes increasingly more apparent that our government on the Potomac has chosen us as a sacrificial lamb for the State Department's altar of appeasement. There has not been any letup, whatsoever, in the flood of textile imports which seriouslv threatens our jobs. We have weathered other storms together, building each time a firmer foundation on which to base brighter hopes for the years to come. Working harmoniously together we will ride this one out too. I congratulate you upon your fine service record and hope that we will have many more prosperous years together." Those honored included: Clinton 20 Year Pins L. A. Rovette Lowell McCall Elmer L.
