Never has the WORKER had a greater incentive to use his time and skill for the general good. Wealth has been destroyed all round the earth. Giant dams have been blown up. Bridges, buildings, homes destroyed. Physical prop erty and goods of all kinds have been laid waste. In addition, shortages of goods have taken on huge proportions because the things men ordinarily use and wear ceased to be made when the urgency of war called for the pro duction of other kinds of goods. During the war months we were urged to produce. This production line was dramatized, emotionalized, sentimentalized. Now that the combat has stopped, the need for production is doubly urgent. Only WORK can replenish the shelves and warehouses and gran aries of the world. Only WORK can replace wealth destroyed. If ever a worker could be con scious that his daily task is a di rect help to a starving, needy world it is now. There is no substitute for work. Bonuses, pensions, compensations are necessary things in our kind of world, but they do not accom plish what work does. Pay for holidays when no work is per formed may appeal to some, but this cannot take the place of pay for work done. Cessation from jobs may seem justified in some quarters, but only work on the job can keep us from the stark trag edy of inflation which could prove worse than war. Work in itself is no problem. The saying is everlastingly true today: “Man must live IN his work as well as FROM his work.” WORK. Society as a whole should appreciate workers in this day as in no other day. ITEMS & COMMENTS SEAMLESS PLANT Finishing Room No. 1 We had such a nice time at the party, we want to think Mr. Amos, and all those who worked so hard to make it a success. We welcome some of our old boarder’s back: Earl Leonard, Eu- lis Witcher and Marvin Wiggs. We were so sorry about Mrs. Hedrick losing her mother. We miss some of our employees who are out sick: Mrs. Keener, Mrs. Taylor, Mattie Kennedy, Hal- lie Bost, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Guyer. Hope they will soon be back with us. Mrs. Guyer wants to thank ev erybody for the nice Christmas box. Mrs. Alice Clodfelter’s son Tom is home to stay. —•— Knitting Room No. 2 The season of resolve and reded ication has again come around. The time for a serious session of thought to make our plans for the year ahead. Remembering what Mr. Amos j said to us at the Christmas party, we think that each of us of the Melrose organization should make a resolution to do our very best throughout the coming year. Giv ing the best that is in us in serv- ice and loyalty as our contribution toward the success of the plans that Mr. Amos has made for us and Melrose. Thanks to Mr. Amos and per sonnel department who made the wonderful Christmas party possi ble. We hope Mr. Amos enjoyed being there as much as we en joyed having him present. Bill and Jack made lovely brides maids. Glad Anvilla is back after a short illness. We are glad to welcome Emma Hoyle as a new member of Melrose workers. We sympathize with Louise Long over the death of her hus band. Betty Easter is happy to have her husband home for good after a long absence overseas. They always come back to Mel rose. Lena Wilker has returned after she had planned not to re turn. Glad she did. —•— Looping No. 2, First Shift It is needless to say much about the Xmas party because everyone enjoyed that, it really gets better every time. We sympathize with Mrs. Clod- felter in the loss of her mother during the Xmas holidays. Ocie Brown is out sick, also Sue Howard. Lena Howard and Olive Stutts are back after being out with flu, Helen Henry is back, after being out some time. New Year has caused several new leaves turned over. For in stance, Eva Lee Lowery and Ruby Polsvec came in before 7 o’clock, the first day ever punched in at 6:50. Did you all see the Xxmas hat that Maurice Porter gave Birchie Johnson for Xmas. Well, you should have for she was certainly one dressed up sister walking around with a sign on her back saying “I am Santa Claus’ little girl.” Well Allie Bull sure got a sur prise at Xmas, a package mislayed on her looper. She opened the package thinking it was her very own and then found they were Maidie Janne’s pants. For the very first time we can remember Mamie Porter has start ed working until 4:30. A great improvement, Mamie Viola 1— walking along the street looking so straight at Xmas pretties slipped down, now wonder who helped her up so quickly. Eugenia Hall thinks the weath er stays terribly cold, she even tried to loop with her gloves on one morning. But then I don’t wonder she forgot to take her gloves off because both her sons are home from overseas with their discharges. Mr. Parriss says he is a very happy man now since his other son is home again and to stay. ARE YOU INTERESTED? Miss Idol is to spend a portion of two weeks in January attend ing a special training school held by the Red Cross for the purpose of assisting volunteers in home nursing and health problems. Twelve hours of training in group discussions with women number ing from 7 to 10 is contemplated. These groups could meet in the Social Hall before change of shift in early afternoon, or in evening for first shift workers either in Social Hall or some home or com munity building where a number of employees could assemble. The classes will cover such things as How to care for the sick. Simple instruction in bedside care. Food, Medicine, Fevers, Baby Care, Bath ing, etc. If you are interested in joining one of these grolips for twelve hours of free instruction pleas6 put your name on a slip of paoer and turn it into the Personnel De partment, or speak to Miss Idol. HANDY Additional copies of HANDY are available for employees. Mr. Coffee expressed he was happier at Xmas than he had ever been before because he had his family at home for Xmas. Best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. Boarding Room No. 2 The top turners welcome Alice Eatman back with us. The boarders are glad to have Bill Dillon and Virgil Boswell back after serving in the armed forces. Also Dan Beeson. Wonder where Dot got that dia mond. From Fred of course. —• — Knitting No. 1 We want to thank Mr. Amos for the nice Christmas party. Everyone had a swell time. Rev Dewey Cates must have made a mistake in the wedding ceremony, at the party for the newly-weds are on the verge of “breaking up.” Did you see Santa Claus intro ducing Mr. Hill to Mr. Amos, as an old employee ? —•— A LETTER OF APPRECIATION Mr. Boyd: We, the second and third shift employees of the seamless plant, want to thank you and the man agement for the many nice things you have done to better the work ing conditions at Melrose. We want you to know we really appre ciate these improvements and you’ll have our full cooperation in your undertakings. Let’s strive to make 1946 the best yet. —• — COLORED Well, well, hello to everybody! We hope you had a Merry Christ mas and that the New Year will be a happy one! We are sure you have missed hearing from us for a few months. Yes, we had a wonderful time at the Christmas party. Agnes But ler says she is sura the ones who were permitted to bring husband or wife counted it a real treat to have them enjoy the party also, but that she thought she was treat ed wrong as she stood and watched the others enjoying themselves and she just held her hands and wished her husband-to-be could have been along also! A good time was had by all and especially by Willie Crain and Sidney Little who were the center of attraction. Willie dropped his turkey which was bad—as he hadn’t had any dinner or supper. Sidney did the same thing with his favorite piece of chicken! Sidney is sure growing in age but not so much in Grace. Fletcher Waden made some very helpful remarks. George Bangum and Charlie Stew art were visitors. We are already planning our 1946 Christmas party!
