PROGRAM IS
BIG SUCCESS
Webster defines the word “suc
cess” as a favorable end or the
result of any undertaking. Have
you been successful thus far with
your dealings with other men?
Success lies within the individ
ual. If you have learned to live
in such a manner as to dissimi-
nate the seeds of happiness, and
at the same time enjoy those
blessings yourself, you have
learned the secret of success.
Success in your work here at
the mill depends on your persona
relation to those you come in con
tact with—the patron, the em
ployer, and your fellow eniployee.
Let us consider your relation to
the patrons whom you serve. A
thoughtful employee will think o
those things that tend to help ths
patron and at the same time ma
terially help his employer.
He will at all tim.es endeavor to
hold up the high ideals of his em
ployer realizing the employer is
judged largely by the employee.
A thoughtful employe will give
much thought to his personal ap-
pearanoG. A crease in the trous
ers, shined shoes, a shave and a
haircut will sell more than many
arguments. Clean teeth and a
smile will often given victory
where there has been defeat be
fore.
All the things that go to make
up a pleasing personality will be
of paramount importance when
you go to win the game of life. To
make good friends be kind, cour
teous and friendly at all times.
“To have a friend, be a friend.
The thoughtful employe will
thoroughly master the work he is
assigned to do, and then go on o
master all other difficult parts o
the business in which he is
gaged. Every detail of the busi
ness should be mastered.
An employe who wishes to be
successful will do the extra wor
and receive pleasure at the same
time, having the satisfaction o
knowing he is able to meet any
requirements that may deman
his services in the future. ^
thus prepares himself to step m o
a position of enlarged usefulness
and greater personal remunera
tion. A thoughtful employe wii*

pose of giving his best to bis em

Charlie Weaver
Is Transferred
C. C. Weaver, Jr., who has been
connected with the Winston-
Salem office for some time, was
transferred to the New York of
fice on August 21st.
Mr. Weaver as well as being a
good athlete took an active part
in all other activities of the mill.
He was the capable first baseman
of the Winston mill’s 1934 base
ball team, and his help will be
greatly missed during the re
mainder of the season.
His many friends in Winston-
Salem and Elkin wish him much
success during his stay in New
York.
Oh, yes, the world owes you a
living, but you certainly have to
hustle to collect it.
The success of the athletic pro
gram that has been carried on in
the two plants has clearly dem
onstrated the advisability for such
a program. The company has
clearly shown its interest and is
actively backing up the program
in every possible way. There is
only one thing else essential to
the complete success of this ven
ture and that—100 per cent co
operation of the employees. The
interest already evinced by quite
a few people is gratifying. How
ever, this number is small com
pared to the total number on the
payroll. Every person employed
in the mill will soon have an op
portunity to take part in this pro
gram.
There is one thing that should
be kept in mind at all times by
everyone while engaging in the
athletic program. That is the
equipment is the property of the
company and should be treated
as such. It is provided for the
benefit of the employees and
should be made to last as long as
possible. To abuse it is to have
the privilege of its use withdrawn.
During these contests everyone
should show the best sportsman
ship possible so that team will be
a credit to Chatham Manufactur
ing Company rather than a dis
credit. There will be times when
the breaks may go against you, if
this be the case face the situation
squarely and play harder so as
to offset bad breaks. The teams
that play hard and fair usually
get the good breaks. This holds
true to your everyday life.
Your daily life can be made
happier rather than a daily grind,
if everyone takes part in these
programs who are physically able,
they will derive a great benefit
from them. Athletic contests will
give diversion to the mind as well
as exercise to the muscles.
Isn’t it queer that a man satis
fied with so little in himself,
should demand so much in oth
ers?
The finest place in the world
for criticism is before a bathroom
mirror.
Does this new employment in
surance protect a man from the
danger of having to go to work?
