Just a Thought
(By W. B. Underwood)
Several years ago we all ap
plied ourselves to our work with
no thought given to our own wel
fare, taut through the years we
have begun to think more on
terms of our future health and
happiness. Let us stop and think
what we must do in order to be
well and happy in the future. If,
through some carelessness on our
part, we might prevent this hap
piness, woudn’t we think twice
before plunging headlong into
some of the things we do?
Why not start now to preserve
our health. No one wants to be
a cripple for life and be depend
ent on someone else for their
support.
It is our understanding that
during the month of July Chat
ham Mills are putting on a “No
Accident Campaign.” Let’s make
this a perfect month and see
what a pleasant sensation it will
be for both yourself and your
fellow workman. After this short
length of time, you will see how
easy it is to prevent injury. Do
you know that when you are
careless, it not only makes you
liable to injury, but puts every
one around you in the same boat.
Let’s see what we must do in
order to keep out of an accident.
First of all, just use your head
and be careful; this is the basic
thing for all of us to do.
Second, we must not let this
one idea leave us when we leave
our work, but must carry it into
our homes, and everywhere we
go.
Do you realize that a strong
healthy body and mind are our
earning power? Why not make a
resolution that will start in our
own home in carrying out this
safety idea. Get that home in

Mrs. Lewyer Pennell has re

Dick Minnish “sho” does strut

Pete Holcomb got so (cuss cuss)
spic and span condition, both in
the house and in the yard, so
that we feel proud of it, and are
not ashamed for anyone to come
into it. Then let’s keep our own
selves clean and healthful. Why
not buy things that will help to
build up your health and not
throw it away on frivolous things,
which in fact, tend to tear down
that healthful, pleasant feeling?
After we do these things, you
will be surprised at the different
attitude you will have toward
your work. You will really enjoy
it, and that grouchy feeling will
disappear.
Now, if everyone will do these
small things, we will all benefit;
we will see nothing but smiles
and pleasantness about us, and
’"est of all, accidents will be a
thing of the past, and, oh, how
happy we will all be.
Let’s everyone pull together
and show our appreciation to
Chatham Mills that we are with
them. Keep smiling, and above
all, be careful. You yourself will
see the results.
