Tomlinson, our execu tive vice-president, said: “In the next few days our time- study engineers will start in some departments taking new, careful studies to check all time values. “The purpose of this re-study is to see that time values are right, so that every Tomlinson Crafts man is assured the opportunity of just pay in relation to his produc tion. This to our Craftsmen will result in better working condi tions, better and easier methods, and a system of time values so carefully studied, so accurately made, that they will have your whole-hearted confidence. “What I am going to say now is very important to all of you, so please listen carefully. The point I wish to make is this—the man agement guarantees to each and every emnloyee that THE NEW TIME VALUES DEVELOPED THROUGH THESE STUDIES WILT. NOT IN ANY WAY RE DUCE YOUR EARNINGS FOR EQUAL EFFORT. “I wish to make this point vevjr clear, because it is the policy of the Tomlinson management to pay the highest wages possible, consistent with being able to suc ceed in business and offer steady jobs.” For the better understanding of all Craftsmen, here is how the Tomlinson Incentive Bonus Flan works— The Tomlinson incentive bonus plan has been in effect for more than 16 years. It provides that a Craftsman he paid in accordance with the skill and effort with which he applies himself to his job. It makes possible for skilled Crafts men to earn wages well in excess of those possible on a straight day work basis. It is knowm as the Standard Minute Plan because it is based upon the number of minutes in which an average Craftsman working under normal conditions can reasonably be expected to ac complish one unit of production.

To Tomlinson War Veterans: WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE BACK I Recently, I have spent some time talking with many Crafts men who have returned to Tomlinson from the services. iu . apparent there is confusion concerning the benefits to which the veteran is entitled and the manner in which the veterans’ program in general is administered. There have been cases of men suffering disadvantage through having filed the wrong form with the Veterans’ Administration or through some slight error in record. This program is so new and so extensive that a certain amount of confusion will exist until it IS well under way. We cannot eliminate this confusion nor avoid it entirely. In many cases, results depend on the interpretation given to the various bills and directives by the individual Veterans’ Officer handling the case. We can, and will, however, do everything within our power to help lorahnson Veterans secure any and all benefits under this program, if we at Tomlinson do not know the answer to vour particular question, we will make every effort to get that answer tor you and to secure for you maximum benefits in the line of your interest. Many na\e reMirned, taken up their former jobs. There are many others yet to come back. Our Company personnel policy has been designed from the beginning of hostilities to help and benefit Tomlinson veterans in every way possible. You will recall the continuation of your group life insurance at Company expense, constant contact maintained with the veteran through the NEWS^ letters, questionnaires, and the general interest shown through out the entire war period. Tomlinson has a keen interest in you and will make every effort to help you fit yourself for growth and advancement within the Company. If there is anything about the national, state or Tomlinson veterans programs that presents a question to you, drop in at the Personnel Office. They’ll be glad to help you. Executive Vice-President. Pfc. Oscar W. Kirkman From Hitler Palace To Wimpy Wagon tir There’s no place like home,” says “Wimpy” Kirkman, back on the Canteen Wagon last Monday morning after 25 months with Uncle Sam’s Army. And “Wimpy” knows because all the time he was serving in the battle of the Rhineland, in the battle of Central Germany, and while with the occupation troops at Hitler’s palace in Berchestgadqn and on the Austrian border—he was thinking of the United States, North Carolina, his home and his job at Tomlinson.
