MEN AND THINGS
A splendid letter .to all who co
operate in.* making Joanna such
a delightful place to work I offer
with my admiration for the quiet,
steady gracious' man of vision
whose leadership of Joanna is so
notable—Walter Regnery.
“Again, your stockholders, or
owners of our company, wish, to
share with you their profits from
last year's operation in the form
of a wage dividend. This liberal
and rather unusual procedure is
their way of expressing to you a
hearty thank you for a job well
done.
Our profits this year were up
from last year. This, of course, is
reflected in the increase in this
year's wage dividend. The total is
$194,000. Expressed as an aver
age dividend per person, it was
$79.10 last year and $129.20 this
year. This is an increase of 61.5
pre cent. This improvement was
due to two causes, first, an im
proved cloth market, allowing us
slightly higher prices for our
goods, and secondly, a more ef
ficient job of manufacturing.
The cloth market is' something
we have little or no control ov«r
other than knowing when or
Where not to take business. How
ever, improvement in efficiency is
something in which all oi us play
a part To be efficient we must
first have a modern plant and
equipment, aind 'then we each
must have the will and coopera
tive spirit to use this to the best
ad valutage. We all know that at
Joanna we are very fortunate In
having stockholders who provide
us with the very latest equipments
m the way of machinery. It is
then up to us to provide the rest
This is accomplished by the full
est cooperation on everyone’s part
to see that we always obtain the
highest quality, best possible pro
duction, and the least amount of
waste from every machine or step
in our manufacturing process. We
know' that we can never be per
fect in this respect and therefore
there is always room for improve
ment here. The tacts of last year’s
operation show we have done a
good job, but let’s accept our im
provement as proof that we can
do better in the future, no matter
how slight.
We hear a great deal these days
from politicians and the like about
job security. In the long run, real
job security can only be had by
being connected with a success
ful organization. For any manufac
turing plant to be continuously
successful, it must enjoy the full
est harmony and cooperation from
each and every person, whether he
be owner, supervisor, or machine
operator. We all know-that our
past has proved .these facts. We
have had 4 great many Nears of
continuous or full operation. We
have received many benefits in
addition to the going wage that
proves that we have this coopera
tion at Joanna. We have indeed
accomplished the real goal of job
security by oi r own ctforts in the
past and I feel sure we can there
fore look for the same joint suc
cesses in the future. •.«
May I take this opportunity to
i express to each one of you my

Old timers will remember 4hat
this profit-sharing plan was insti
tuted by the late William H. Reg
nery in 1887 and was new to the
textile world at that time. Since
then in only one year has the
margin of profit been so small
that a wag 6 dividend could not be
paid. Bonus percentages have
ranged from 9.1 per cent in the
banner years of 1948 and 1949 to
the low of 3.7 per cent last year
when the market in textiles was
very poor for a long period. This
year’s wage dividend is 4.425 per
cent, averaging slightly more than
two weeks' extra pay for eligible
Joanmiams, which payment is in
addition to regular pay at the pre
vailing wage in this area.” ("The
Joanna Way")
While the iron is hot is the time
to strike. While so many citizens
throughout the nation are thinking
about federal encroachment is the
time to link our questions with
their issues and so make common
cause. For example, hundreds of
thousands of men are angry be
cause the Federal Supreme Court
assumed jurisdiction over some
natural gas matters when even
the Congress had refused to do so.
Ftankly, if it be a local matter,
or a state matter there was no rea
son for even the Congress to in
tervene; but since the point at is
sue seems primarily administra
tive it is a questionable interven
tion by the court.
We can find a dozen major
groups that arc challenging the
encroachments by the federal
courts. Let’s join them. All these
questions have this in common:
they are invasions of staites* rights
or are unjustified encroachments
on the freedom of men to engage
in commerce. 1
Can’t we find a platform, on
which most of the states can stand?
We have one phase of the over-all
problem; maybe a half dozen oth
er groups are suffering from oth
er phases. But, at bottom, the
problem is to circumscribe the
courts so that they wont meddle
with everything as though courts
were a sacred institution, infall
ible and inviolable.

They belong to a little girl. And she loves them both. But,
although she is only a tot, she understands the difference between
Pal and Pdbchie.
* *
Poochie is just her “doggie dollie. M She can talk to him, and
pat him, and cuddle him at night in her crib. But she has to
pretend that he loves her too!.
*
Pal is her “bow-wow.” He answers words ?nd caresses with
his eyes and his bark and his wagging tail. He follows her, he
snuggles up to her. His love is just as real as his funny cold nose.
Poochie will one day retire to the attic. But Pal will be her pal
for a}l of his faithful life.
Brings home, does it not, the importance ot responding to love?
The love which inspires man’s faithfulness is God’s love, ^he
Response is our Christian worship and life.
