This year's appeal at Clinton-Lvdia
will be made the
week of October 5-9. 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.

at the new lower
ate, will not be enough to ta
ay the bill next April 15. cc
The reason for this is that cc
