Four hundred forty six
basketba!! games are a lots
of ball games, and that's
exactly how many varsity
basketball g a m e s Sam
Owens has officiated.
Sam, who began refereeing
basketball in 1956, will
begin his 13th season with

His interest in basketball
dates back to his high school
days. Owens played guard
on the Clinton High team
,'1'j years.
In 1958, Sam, a former
Clinton High half back,
turned to football. His first
game was at McCormick
when they were host to
Greenwood "B". Two years
later, in 196'J, he changed

to go undone.
Since a principal of manufacturing
is wages, any
of the solutions to filling an
nhsettt employee's f>ost is
expensive from several
points of view.
Substitutes or extras are
not ?f ftitriliLr with the
job or situation as the
regular employee.
Re-scheduling the work
isn't the answer either. The
extra burden slows the department
down while increasing
individual responsibility.
When work schedules
fall to the way-side,
the Company doesn't meet
its deadlines and the customer
doesn't get the service
lie is entitled to.
Working the others overtime
certainly is a hardship
on the employees as well as
to the profit picture. And
allowing a machine to sit
idle worsens the profit
picture even more as the
overhead costs remain the
same whether a machine is
operated or not.
Without belaboring the
noint. it is clear tho nbson
toeism is a serious problem.
Profits are hurt when machines
are idled, jobs are
undone, and worlc is rescheduled.
Profits tell Clinton
Mills Company's story.
Give our story a happy
e n ding. Show up and
pocket the difference.

But probably the best
known of all October's
special events is Halloween,
that m i s t i c time
when spooks and hobgoblins
reign over all our festivities,
and when little
children (and grown-ups)
let their imaginations run
rampant as they don false
faces and costumes to become
"something they
really aren't."
Back of the observance
of Halloween is a deeper
significance than just the
"spooks" and "dressing up"
of our present day observance.
Like most festivals
that we celebrate, its beginning
goes back to the
far distant past when man's
life was strongly influenced
by belief in supernatural
powers, and he worshiped
them as the bestowers of
favors and protections.
One of the great sacrificial
days set aside by the
ancients to worship their
deity was November 1. And
on the preceding evening,
October 31, they built huge
bonfires to observe their
ceremonials. Whe.i Christianity
was born and mankind
was converted to the
worship of God, this same
date was set aside as a
feast for All Saints.

GERMAN
Medical science is running
a race with German measles?a
race which, fortunately,
it stands a good
chance of winning. There
are strong indications that
a dependable vaccine
against the disease will be
ready for use before the
next epidemic, expected
sometime in the early
1070's.
While the disease itself
isn't particularly severe,
German measles (or rubella)
can have tragic effects
in the form of birth
damage when it attacks a
pregnant woman. For a
long time such effects were
considered a hazard only
if the disease struck during
the first three months of
pregnance. But recent research
has disclosed a rate
of birth damage as high as
ten per cent in offspring of
a group of women who con
iraciea tne aisease in tne
fourth to sixth month. This
gives even greater urgency
to the task of perfecting a
safe and effective vaccine.
With prospects now
bright for a licensed vacspent
in prayer and preparation
for the sanctity of
the occasion on the morrow.
As time passed, the more
serious importance of the
date has been forgotten, and
now Halloween is but a
night of diversified hilarity.
Just so the order of
i; ~^J tu. ,1
iKi; \-I IclIl??Ca, clliu LUC UiU
gives place to the new. But
even in this there is a lesson
for life. The philosophy
should be that there is
much good to be found in
"old things."

MEASLES
cine by the end of 1969,
plans are being discussed
for mass inoculations in
various parts of the country.
If the immunity conferred
by the vaccine turns
out to be limited in duration
(this is so far an unknown
quantity), booster
shots will be recommended
at appropriate intervals.
The most recent rubella
epidemic, which occurred
in 1964, was the most severe
in many years. Some
experts believe that the
next one (they occur in
cycles roughly six to nine
years apart) will be considerably
milder. The medical
profession, hoping for
the best, plans to keep its
vaccines moist?and handy.
Your Christmas Seal association,
interested in promoting
general health as
well as in fighting emphysema,
TB and air pollution,
suggests that your
doctor is tne man to consult
about the who, how
and when of German measles
vaccination.

Because somewhere,

GOOFED!
Somebody made a defec

weld, sloppily inspected a
job, simply didn't watch
what he was doing ? and
didn't care. Would the person
responsible have done
his job differently if he had
realized what the result
would be? Who knows?
