THINK — it’s part of every job.
Thinking, if properly practiced,
can be a most beneficial and profit
able exercise. It can give the satis
faction of settling problems, can
produce ideas that pay off in busi-
Iness success, and bring personal
'tappiness. Thinking can also be a
diversion and a hobby. When does
a fellow find time for this mental
sport? The answer is: mostly dur
ing periods that might otherwise
be idle, preferably at the begin
ning of the day. We can also find
time for thinking on the job.
Such a plan can promote effi
ciency, can gather up the loose
ends, and blanket the entire area
of the job completely. Perhaps its
most effective service is in the
use of time that might otherwise
be wasted, to spur the imagination
into creative thoughts and thus
achieve unexpected results.
One reads a lot about CRE
ATIVE THINKING. What does it
mean? How does one go about it?
Creative thinking, they say, is the
driving of imagination to work.
Later the ideas generated by this
brain activity can be collected and
controlled by practical guidance.
Imagination, however, is tem
peramental. It is most effective
when given free rein, but this does
not mean letting it take its own
course. It should be directed into
productive channels. One form of
imagination leads into harmful
territory — persecution complexes,
a feeling of inferiority and delu
sions. So often it is subject to mis
use, as in the case of worry, for in
stance. You can think better when
you do not worry!
Creative thinking, on the other
hand, is forward thinking with
specific objectives. One of its func
tions is to hunt. The other to make
things over. Its chief aim is some-

295 Anvil Brand
Workers Support
Social Agencies
Only slightly less than a thou
sand dollars was donated to the
High Point Community Chest by
members of the Anvil Brand fam
ily in the company-wide canvass
that was made last week. The total
was $966.14 for this year as com
pared with the $920.35 contributed
last year.
Aline Carter said that she was
frankly proud of our response to
community needs, and particularly
commended the members of the
dime-a-week club. She also thanked-
the supervisors who did most of
the canvassing for these extra
hours of work. Aline served as
chairman of the Chest canvassers
at Anvil Brand.
“I feel like our response means
that first of all we saw the need
for the character building agencies
and the other work carried on by
the Chest,” she observed. “Then it
means that we were interested
enough in our community, and you,
individually, were generous enough
to contribute to the support of
that work.”
A total of 295 contributions were
received, and 136 of these were
pledges or cash for the dime-a-
week club.
The pants department was the
banner department again this year
in Chest contributions. It led the
field also last year. Their total was
$266.25, with Esther Hughes serv
ing as solicitor.
The office was next in line with
contributions of $243.14, with Mar
tha Belle Grimes, Margaret Hegu,
and Helen Hughes serving as
solicitors in the Hudson, the Sales,
and the White divisions respec
tively. Ossie Wright and Lloyd
Hedgecock served as solicitors-at-
large, giving a helping hand wher
ever it was needed.

Pamphlet Will
Be Distributed
Aline Carter says she has or
dered enough copies of a pamphlet
called “Yes, HUT” for everyone in
the company to have one, and that
she will distribute them immedi
ately, probably today.
The little book is good reading
and is amusingly illustrated with
pen and ink sketches. Its aim is
to explode some of the untruths
which are spread about our country
and our way of life — often si)road
by us.
Many of the untruths would be
classed l>y our (JI brothers and
husbands as “pure scuttlebutt,”
l)ut some of them obviously have
come from (^mimunist propa
ganda. That doesn’t mean that
when you hear them repeated or
repeat them yourself, the person
repeating them necessarily has
any idea they are following the
Communist line. But Peter L.
Schauble who wrote the pamphlet
evidently believes the best way to
nail a lie is with the truth. His con
clusion is that we shouldn’t apolo
gize for the American system, but
brag about it.
