BE
Thirteen years ago this
month Clinton-Lydia employees
received the first issue of
the Clothmaker.
As we begin another year
in the life of our Companies'
publication we look back over
the years and it scarcely seems
possible that the Clothmaker
was begun 12 years ago. The
first issue was published on
February 15, 1952.
Supported by our Companies,
the Clothmaker has served
as a dependable line of
communication to, from, and
between employees, their
families, and relatives serving
in the Armed Forces.
Thumbing back through the
155 old copies, we can see
many changes since the
"charter" issue. New employees
have become members of
the Clinton-Lydia family.
Others have retired, and all
too many are now deceased.
Babies have been born, and
small children have grown up
and married. Many have won

new was added to the

The words. "Superior

with Clinton - Lvdia

was added. Now the 12year-old

teams have set new records.
The Clothmaker, through its
loyal and faithful staff members,
has worked hard to record
these events for you.
As we get underway with
our 13th year of publication,
a hearty "thanks" to all our
employee reporters and others
who help make the paper
possible each month.

E EMPLOYEES OF CLINTON
IDING SPEAKER,
Bailey Scholarship
Deadline Nears
Employees with sons and
daughters graduating from
High School this June are reminded
of the Mercer Silas
Bailey Memorial College
Scholarships and Loans available
to eligible students.
Applications for the two annual
$3,000 College Scholarships
will be accepted until
April 1. It is advisable how
ever 10 make preparation for
the application as soon as possible
since the college entrance
examination must be
taken and grades received
prior to the April 1st deadline.
To be favorably considered
for a Loan Scholarship the
applicant must meet the same
requirements as the $750 per
year Scholarship recipients.
r uii information and application
blanks are available at
the Personnel Office.
No February 29
Birthdays
It took George Brockenbrough.
Data Processing Director,
only five minutes to
report, "no record of any employee
born on February 29"
when requested by the Clothmaker
staff to furnish the
names of employees born on
the "extra day" this year.
The Clothmaker wanted to
do a feature story on employ
ees wno nave a birthday only
once every four years.
The every fourth year birthday
has some advantages and
some disadvantages. One gets
older slower, but also gets
fewer birthday presents. What
a dilemma!
How do we keep up with
Leap Year? Simple! Divide
the year by four; if it comes
out even, it's a Leap Year.
Better still, it's the year we
elect a President.
Good luck girls. We hope
you "get your man" this year.

Suggestions f
Your 1963
Now that the federal tax
returns are processed by
highspeed electronic computers,
the accuracy of the returns
has become more important,
Commissioner Bookholt
said.
Preaddressed income tax
forms for the calendar year
1963 were mailed to taxpayers
in the States of Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Tennessee, Mr.
Bookholt stated. Because the
preaddressed information is
vital to processing operations,
taxpayers are urged to use
these forms.
