I American Tobacco Company Reports on Equal Employment Eleven years ago The Ameri can Tobacco Company and its employees developed a plan to provide equal employment op portunity and merit advance ment without regard to color, creed or national origin. Employee statistics reflect the results of this program as fol lows: MANUFACTURING Since 1963 the Company's four cigarette centers (Louis ville, Kentucky; Richmond, Vjr gina; Durham and Reidsville, North Carolina) have hired 1,- 929 new employees and of this number '1,009, or more than half, are NegroeV. Of the total of more than 3,- Swinging Queen Emma This pontoon bridge in Curacao. Netherlands Antilles is unique. It connects the two sides of Willemstud's picturesque har bor while floating on the water. Opening like a door, the bridge is driven by two engines located on the first pontoon. Fifteen nvinules before the pontoon bridge is closed to pedestrian trallic. a blue (lag is run up When the siren goes, level cross ings on both sides of the bridge come down anil hold up trallic as the pontoon is slowly driven oil' It takes about 30 minutes 'for the pontoon bridge to open and allow a ship through before being back in service again. The bridge was originally conceived by an American, the honorable 1.. B. Smith. U.S. consul in Curacao from 1884 to 1895. It opens .and closes over 7.000 times, a ,?£'•s■ roughly twenty times a Jay* As a m&ttsx ,olf course the people of Willem stad dial 12000 to see if the bridge is open to traffic or not The bridge is named for Queen Emma of the Netherlands, grandmother of the reigning Queen Juliana FILM-MAKING New Professional Techniques for the Amateur Until recently, all home mo viemakers could do was sit back and admire the work of the "professionals" on the silver screen. But now, those same explorative close-ups, quick dissolves, ingenious use of titles and other "new wave" tech niques are becoming standard fare for the amateur too. Titles, transparencies and other printed matter can be photo graphed with the Multitrix copy holder supplied with the camera In the old days, it took tre mendous skill, elaborate light ing and cameras fitted with expensive glass for fine close photography. There was no way the amateur could photo graph extreme close-ups with out purchasing an assortment of costly attachments. Nor could he ever photograph tiny ob jects closer than his eye could see. What has all this is a revolutionary new movie camera called the Bolex 155 Macrozoom. It has the only lens capable of sharp continuous Oi c M \ MaiAOftMK lAUNDIRIis t CLCA NEKS • REFRIGERATED FUR STORAGE ANd BOX STORAGE 000 minority group people reg ularly employed in manufactu ring and leaf operations, 31 per cent have been upgraded in position and in rate of pay dur ing the last five years. Ntgroes are employed as supervisors and in office and clerical posi tions in the Company's facto ries. SALES FORCE A substantial number of the Company's nationwide Sales Force are Negroes. These in clude seven executives—a na tional field sales manager and six district -managers. N. Y. HEADQUARTERS Since 1965 the number of Ne groes at the New York City of fice has increased from 26 to 49, an increase of 88 percent. The total number of minority group employees has increased from 46 to 87, an increase of 89 percent. In part, this in crease has resulted from spe cial programs to train minority group. members for office em ployment RESEARCH AND [\DEVELOP MENT GENERAL ENGI NEERING In this place of operations 239 new regular employees have been hired since January 1, 1963, or whom 40 are minor ity group members. GOLDEN BELT MFG. CO. This subsidiary, which manu factures textile products and printed labels, has hired a tot al of 1,102 new regular employ ees since 1963, of whom 298 were minority group people. OTHER Minority group members have also been hired in the Com pany's smoking and twist to bacco plants, in its cigar plants and in its seasonal leaf opera tions. American Tobacco sales mes sages have been carried in Ne gro media (magazines, radio stations and newspapers) for more than 20 years. In recent years, 33 Negroes and 8 Puerto Ricans have been employed as musicians and vocalists for the Company's television and radio commercials. Others have been employed as extras, TV produc tion crews and script clerks One American Indian has been employed as an announcer. Approximately 22 percent of the Company's 14.287 employ ees are members of a minority c I rr.np-nt In the spring the boss'k fancy lightly turns to thoughts of golf. The trouble with ? lot of im provements is that they aren't as good as the original article., fijming - from infinity down to one inch-without attachments! And because it makes movie making so simple, everyone is getting into the act. Dad, Mom and even Junior are discover ing that home moviemaking offers not only the satisfaction of doing something truly crea tive but yields professional re sults as well! With the Bolex 155 the filmer enjoys complete freedom of action. A wide landscape, chil dren playing a few feet away, a close-up of a face, a smile or even an insect an inch from the lens are all filmed with the same ease -without bother- One hobby leadt In another! *This stamp's cofflor has turned photographer to film extreme closc-ups of his finest pieces some attachments or light measuring calculations. In short, the Macrozoom allows the moviemaker, re gardless ol proficiency, to en ter the whole fantastic world of close-up photography that up to now had been the exclusive province of the "professionals."
