What Is Teamwork?
We talk about Teamwork. We mean it. It’s
not a slogan. It's something real. Here’s
what it is.
It’s a supervisor finding the answers to
employees’ questions.
It's the experienced employee sharing
that experience with the new man in the
department.
It’s the new employee realizing that the
people around him are handicapped if he
isn’t there.
It’s being on the job, on time.
It’s caring about the job you do and the
Christmas means something more than
mistletoe and holly, plum pudding and an
array of presents. Christmas means good will
to men. Are we laying a new store of that
valuable commodity? Christmas means
peace on earth. Are we becoming reconciled
to those from whom we have been
estranged? Christmas means joy to the
world. Are we planning to deepen the foun
tains of real happiness for the unprivileged
and unblessed children of men? Christmas
means simplicity, child-likeness, humility.
When the Christmas bells shall ring again,
will these qualities be more marked in us?
Christmas is the Great Equalizer, for the
least shall be the greatest when the Christ
mas Spirit comes around.
people you work with.
It's asking questions if you don't under
stand.
It's letting your supervisor know when
something is going wrong or when you see
something unsafe.
It's sharing ideas.
It’s offering opinions when they will help.
It’s accepting opinions and criticism with
out letting your feelings “get hurt.”
It’s respecting the other person regardless
of his job or race.
Safety Slogan
Contest Set
The company will conduct a safety slogan
contest between Dec. 12-30, says Director
of Communication Mack Parsons.
Our safety slogan contest is designed to

maintenance employees an opportunity to
participate in the company’s safety
program.
Each supervisor has forms for eligible em
ployees to use in submitting his or her
slogan.
Employees should turn their slogan in to
their supervisor prior to 4 p.m. on Dec. 30,
1985.
Winning slogans will receive a $100 U.S.
Savings Bond. Second and third place win
ners will receive $75 and $50 bonds, re
spectively.
The winning slogan will appear on im
printed items and bulletin board notices and
the Clothmaker during the coming year.
In the event there are no acceptable slo
gans submitted, the contest will be repeated
at a later date.
Dear Mr. President:
Clinton Mills employees, their families, friends, businesses, schools,
social groups, Old Timers and other interested citizens supported Clinton
Mills and its employees plan for writing handwritten messages to President
Ronald Reagan asking his support of the Textile Fair Trade Bill.
A breakdown of employee responses is as follows:
Unit
Responses
Plant No. 1
1,136
Plant No. 2
2,470

Bailey
1,072
Maintenance
788
Office & Misc.

A random survey of the messages revealed employees had given much
thought and concern in what they wrote the President.
The messages showed concern for the industry and its employees. Many
cited personal hardships created by imports while others asked the Presi
dent for support of the industry as they had supported him in his political
campaign.
The company had set a goal of 8,680 messages to the President. When
the final cards and letters were mailed, Clinton Mills entire operations had
mailed well over 14,000 messages to Mr. Reagan.
