While the burning and looting was still going on, he said to his captured rival, "Do you hear what my soldiers are doing to your city?" The conquered king replied: * - nu, die uuillg II IU YOUR city!" So clear was the wisdom of that reply that the conquering king ordered the needless destruction to be stopped. This story applies to any of us who are wasteful of materials and supplies used on our particular jobs. It applies to all who are careless in the treatment of equipment on which or with which we work. It applies to all who increase costs unnecessarily. When we do these things, it is our "city" we are "burning and looting." It is our organization which is being weakened ? the organization 4 U~4 ^ -1 - "1 ?iicti provides us wim a livelihood. rS "WHO'S yU, WHOSE* Births Clinton Spinning? Eloise Harvey Daughter.

THE CLOTHMAKER HOW TO HAY Christmas is now at hand again?with all the good feeling the Yule season brings. In homes from coast to coast, Christmas trees ? with their sparkling lights and decorations ? will soon be brightly glowing. From distant points, young people who have been away at school will soon be returning for the holidays? and others will be on their way to visit relatives and friends with whom they will spend Christmas. All members of the familv %/ are shopping for gifts to be heaped under Christmas trees. In the kitchens, womenfolks will be busy for days preparing food for the Christmas dinner. This is the season for Christmas carols?for evenings at home with friends. For children and grown-ups alike, this is the magic hour when the family gathers around the tree and Christmas gifts are opened. There will be jov throughout the land?not only on Christmas ?but also lasting throughout the welcoming of the New Year of 1966. Christmas can be a merry one if you keep it firesafe, says the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

Bailey, treasurer, and Cassius M. Bailey, his > v/uu^coi own, uwwis.rk.utfptri and paymaster. Since the bank had begun its successful career on February 1, the birthday of Mr. Bailey's eldest daughter, Toccoa Mars Bailey, the Clinton Mills was also launched on that date. So was the Lvdia Cotton Mills instituted in 1902. and named for Mr. Bailey's wife. This mill was opened about two miles from Clinton with Mr. Bailey as president and his youngest son, Cassius as treasurer. It was begun with 4,000 spindles and 150 looms, all secondhand. but this equipment was soon replaced by modern machinery as the plant prospered. Mr. Bailey seemed to draw inspiration and energy from his work. He continued active in business until his death in 1926, when he was succeeded by W i 11 i a m J. Bailey. He went to his office regularly, and gave close at tention to all phases of plant activity. He became increasingly concerned about the welfare of his employees as their number increased, and he took steps to help them help themselves. He continually encouraged them to have bank accounts, b u y homes, accumulate property, and he helped them to advance in the business whenever they were qualified. Schools and churches were provided for the mill communities and various facili E A FIRE-SAFI 1. Choose a small tree instead of a large one?a small tree can be just as pretty, and less hazardous. 2.

He participated in many civic projects. He was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church, and a member of the Masonic Fraternity.

Discard lighting sets with frayed wiring. When buying new sets, look for the UL label of Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. 8. Provide a switch at some distance from the tree for turning tree lights on and off. 9. Don't leave lights burning when away from home. 10. From time to time, inspect the tree to see whether any of the needles near the lights have started to turn brown. If so, change the position of the lights. 11. When needles start falling, take the tree down and discard it outdoors. 12. If you choose a metal tree instead of a natural one. use off-the-tree lighting to give a safer and more beautiful illumination. 13. Gift wrappings, of course, should be discarded promptly and safely after presents are opened. BE SURE TOYS ARE SAFE Long before Old Saint Nick makes his scheduled stops at the homes of good little children all over the country, he pays a visit to Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. There he drops off for testing purposes a bag-full of brand new electrical toys. Saint Nick knows that if the electrical devices can taKe the misuse and abuse administered by the Laboratories' engineers to determine their compliance with strict safety requirements, they should perform safely in the homes where he leaves them. Give Saint Nick a helping hand by insisting that all toys you buy be safe?incapable of causing fire, shock or explosion. On heat-producing toys, the UL label is especially important. Good judgment is essential in purchasing chemical sets for children. Toys requiring alcohol, kerosene, gasoline or carbide lamps may be hazardous in voung hands. Parents should always supervise all play with electrical toys or toys involving fuels and chemicals. IN CASE OF FIRE Should a fire occur in your home this Christmas ? or at any other time of the year? follow these two basic steps: 1. Quickly get everybody out of the house. 2.
