In the Laurens County area there are a wide variety of service agencies which depend on the United Way for their funding These agencies are in the business of providing various services?assisting individuals in time of need and helping our community to become a better place in which to live and raise our families. There are countless times in which Clinton employees have directly or indirectly benefited from the services offered by the United Way. In addition. Clinton has many employees who serve as volunteers with agencies such as the Red Cross. YMCA. Boy Scouts. Camp Fire, Salvation Army. Crippled Children, etc. In 1981 we are seeing numerous cutbacks in various government social programs. It is fairly safe to assume that the voluntary sector, such as the United Way and its agencies, will have a difficult task in meeting the worthwhile requests that they will be called upon to assist. The 1981 82 United Way goal is $108,711. Those agencies in the program are the Salvation Army, Laurens County Ret AfHoH C* h IIH ro r? C. C.

Clinton Sets G Being First in Clinton Mills has joined a large number of other companies in a concentrated new program, "Let's Make Textiles First in Safety," which was recently launched by the American Textile Manufacturers Institute. The program's purpose is to make textiles the safest industry in the country. Along with almost 100 other companies. Clinton will be focusing the attention of employees and the general public on the strong efforts of textiles to prevent disabling injury. The company will also compete in a new textile industry safety contest which ATM I is conducting this year for the first time. Currently, the National Safety Council ranks textiles third in safety among 43 major American industries. That's an admirable position, but there's really no reason why textiles shouldn't be first. Clinton Mills is already well known throughout the textile industry for the emphasis that is placed on accident prevention in the Company's daily operations. Our employees are well attuned to the importance of protecting themselves and their fellow employees and have always shown a keen spirit of competition in earning recognition for their safety performance. Therefore, the opportunity to compete with others in this large-scale contest is welcome. It's one more chance to drive home the importance of safety and does not lessen in any way our degree of participation in other safety contests. If it keeps us thinking about safety, it's worthwhile. Comparison for Companies ine a i mi competition is designed, according to an organization spokesman, to focus attention on the importance of good safety performance in textile operations, provide participatingcompanies with a standard method of measuring and comparing performance with companies similar in size and in the potential hazards they face, recognize companies for superior safety performance. and help the textile industry become the safest in the nation. The contest is open to companies that are engaged in any manufacturing activity covered by those operations described in the Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) 22. "Textile Mill Products." by the U.S. government. In general, this includes operations involving the spinning. weaving, dyeing, print Legislature Passei Concerning TextiU Following is a Resolution passed by the South Carolina Senate and House of Representatives and forwarded to President Ronald Reagan, Vice President Bush, Secretary of State Haig, Speaker of the House O'Neil, SC's Congressional Delegation and the Special Trade Representative.

The contest is being operated on an annual basis for the 12-month period from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Participating companies will submit quarterly reports to ATM I. Awards Each Year Awards are to be presented each year at the ATMI annual meeting. The "Award of Excellence" will go to the company in each of the five contest groups which has the best contest performance rating. A "Most Improved Award" will go to the company in each group which achieves the greatest percentage of improvement in the contest incidence rate over the previous contest year A "Special Recognition Award" can be issued for accomplishments worthy of note but not based upon the contest performance rating. Clinton will continue to place strong emphasis on safety efforts in the future, not just for the sake of winning contests, but most ot ail to prevent accidents among its employees. s Resolution 3 Imports parison with 1980; and Whereas, this increase has resulted in a nineteen percent jump in the textile apparel trade deficit; and Whereas, the actual dollar value of textile imports was 5 8 billion dollars in 1980. up thirteen percent; and Whereas, these substantial irnoort in creases have created severe problems and concern in our textile industry which require prompt and effective action by the Federal Government. Now. therefore. Be it resolved by the Senate. That the Congress of the United States and the Reagan Administration are memorialized to seek to negotiate a multi-fiber import agreement with major textile importing countries which would relate textile apparel import growth to the growth of the domestic textile market. Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to President Reagan. Secretary of State Haig. Vice President Bush, Speaker of the House O'Neil and each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation in Washington. D.C.
