The Greater Clinton appeal aims at a goal of $23,688.94 an increase of 10 per cent over last year's figure. Personnel Director Calvin A. Cooper. Co-Chairman of the Chest's Industrial Division will serve as corrinator of the in-plant solicitation. He will be assisted by several dozen volunteer departmental employees who will contact fellow employees to receive cash contributions or authorized payroll deduction pledge cards. Traditionally Generous Clinton-Lydia men and women have established a tradition of generous giving. It is felt that since the goal has been increased in keeping with increased needs that our record high of giving will be topped. The average gift per employee has increased consistently in recent years.

Poor Machinery Threatens Jobs Who loses when an industry decides to keep an obsolete machine running rather than 1 1a. ' i l o hh1 replace 11 wun a new one. 1 ne old machine reduces production efficiency and the Company may lose its market. But suppose the old machine requires more operators than a new one would. Isn't the businessman helping to minimize unemployment by keeping his old machine running? Nonsense. Operating obsolete machines poses an even greater risk of employment. Such action threatens the jobs of all employees, rather than just a few. Business history is replete with names of companies which failed to invest in new technology. They are now defunct. tion Army.
