Please Park Only
Where You Are
Assigned Space
The parking lot at the Hudson
Division is proving a headache
both to the people who drive their
cars to work and have parking
space assigned to them there, and
to the personnel office which has
the job of assigning the space.
Employees who drive their cars
to work every day have first call
on the parking spaces, according
to Aline Carter. Many of them
have no way of getting to work
except in their cars, she pointed
out, and there aren’t enough
spaces to go around among the
operators who sometimes drive
their cars.
There has been much confusion
and irritation caused by drivers
who have no space assigned them,
parking in a space that has been
given to someone else. In an effort
to end the confusion, the personnel
office last week gave numbered
stickers to the drivers who have
spaces assigned them in the park
ing lot. These stickers are to be
placed on the rear window, and
the number on the sticker must
be the same as the number of the
space in which the car is parked.
Otherwise, the driver of the car
will be required to move it.
Paul Frye also is having trouble
with people parking in the yarl
which contains tihe shipping plat
form. The big trucks which carry
much of our finished goods away
from the plant, need room in which
to back up to the shipping plat
form. When cars are parked any
where except in the marked
spaces, they are in the way.
There are eight parking spaces
or slots in the shipping yard. Four
of these have been assigned, Aline
stated, and four must be left va
cant for use by employees from
the White or the sales divisions
who have to come to the Hudson
Division on business.
“Please do not pull into a park
ing space in the shipping yard
even if it happens to be vacant at
the moment,” Aline requests of
employees as a whole. “These
spaces are reserved for the use of
people like Floyd Mehan, Jack
Rives, Ossie Wright, members of
the engineering office, Reitzel
Morgan, Helen Hughes, Clayton
Holmes, and Arthur Royals, or of
the sales office, Hugh Wobster,
Ike Craun, Dave Cowan and Ken
Poindexter, and supervisors from
the White Division.”
Some people are like blotters—
soak it all in but get it backwards.
