GIVES ADVICE
Every Little Nut and Screw Plays
Big Part; “Are You A Loose
Nut In Your Department?”
And WE shall all be members
one of another.
How many of us realize when
we are watching these new and
wonderful machines in our fac
tory while they are in operation,
that each groove, each tiny tap,
each small screw, has a most im
portant part to play in the
mechanism of the machines as a
whole? If a groove becomes worn,
a tap is lost, a screw becomes
loose, the entire machine ceases
to function properly. Each part
of a machine is dependent upon
all of the other parts, and vice-
versa.
Just so we employees who oper
ate the rnachines, whether they
be typewriters or wheelbarrows,
are dependent one upon another
—and the whole family of work
ers upon each individual. You
and I have a task to do, a part
to play, to keep the work of this
factory running smoothly. Do you
carry your part of the load? Do
you keep yourself as fit as you
would wish your machine to be
kept? When something goes
wrong in your department, are
you the loose screw? Are you the
worn groove? If so, get a hump
on yourself. Remember, you must
be your own loom-fixer.
Our lives are measured by sec
onds. A few seconds of idleness
(when you should be working)
right here in the Chatham Mill
could mar your own and many
other lives. Maybe you have
never thought of it but you and
your time are just as important
as this little article would have
you believe you are.
Get a lesson from the machines,
the tools you work with. If you
have a job that is termed lowly,
keep in mind that the best posi
tion here is dependent upon your
job. Do it well. Try to make
yourself think that you can do
it better than anyone else, but it
has been truly said that no one
ever stepped out of a place that
another and better one could not
be found to step in and fill it.
Do you like your job? Keep it—
you can if you try.
