paid vacation period April 10.
In just a few days these plans
will become pleasurable realities
as employees and their
families begin well deserved
vacations. Work will give way
for a while and fun and relaxation
will reign in its place.
Reported plans include trips
to lake and shore resorts, longawaited
family visits and quiet
puttering days around the
house.
Our Vacation Week, as in
past years, is planned to include
Independence Day ?
July 4th. On this date 186
^ years ago our forefathers comm
posed and published the American
Declaration of Independence
which committed them
to a long and bloody war to
achieve freedom. Lest we forget,
we should pause during

of Independence Day

country of ours.

distributed with the regular
paychecks on June 29th. Payroll

Over 90'J of employees are
