2 The Clothmaker PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY CLINTON MILLS EDITED BY MACK PARSONS. EXT. 54 Clinton Employees To Enjoy Day of Rest Clinton Mills' liberal holiday policy will enable all eligible employees to enjoy a full day of rest and relaxation with pay as the Company celebrates its 75th Thanksgiving season with its employees. In past years, many people have tried to pack several days of fun and recreation into one. It is a known fact that there just aren't any short-cuts to safety. Following safety rules on the job, at home, and on the highways makes good sense for all of us, especially during a holiday period. "Safety of life shall outweigh all other considerations" is not only a fine motto, it is a clear indication of the priority we place on accident prevention here at Clinton Mills. Let's live by the safety rules and follow safe work procedures. We should keen all of our work areas clean and neat, and use the same precautions at home and on the highway as we use on the job. On-the-job safety measures will not only get the job done, it will get it done more efficiently and will protect our futures and give our families security and peace of mind. . . . To the Editor To the Editor, We, the parents of Major Robert Little, thank you most heartily for the information concerning our son's heroism in Vietnam.
