than $246 million in the past in
years, including record $50 mil
lion in 1962, it was indicated in
the Company's annual report now
being distributed to over 42,00(1
stockholders.
The leading textile firm points
out that its gross vapitai ex
penditures, excluding acquisitions,
substantially exceeded deprecia
tion in eight of the last 10 years,
and that increased operating ef
ficiency and productivity have
resulted.
Burlington President Charles F.
Myers Jr., in a message to stock
holders, noted that the Company
reached the billion-dollar mark in
sales during the past year. "Our
emphasis, of course, is on earn
ings and to this end management
is directing efforts to broadening
research; developing new and im
proved products for apparel, home
furnishings and industrial uses;
and to theTurther development of
trained management at every lev
el," he stated. "These objectives
are aided by a continuing pro
gram of plant and machinery mod
ernization, providing Burlington
employees with the best possible
tools with which to work."
Mr. Myers said "a satisfactory
solution of the inequitable two
price cotton system, under which
domestic manufacturers are re
quired to pay approximately 25',
more than foreign competitors for
American-grown cotton, may In
near. The Administration has as
sured the industry of its strom:
intent to sponsor legislative m
tion which will eliminate this in
equity. The long-term effect should
be favorable not only to dome-tie
textile manufacturers but also to
domestic cotton farmers whose
markets are gradually shrinking
because of unrealistic cotton pric
es in the United States.''
The report states that in recent
years the textile industry's level
of activity has closely followed
the general economic cycle, and
that excess productive capacity of
the industry a major factor in
previous cyclical movements
has been substantially reduced.

Here' Johnny at age one
At his fourth birthday
party, Johnny Wilson's big
blue eyes sparkled as his
mother carried in the most
magnificent cake he had
ever seen.
1 It was shaped like a huge
boat plowing its way through
mountainous waves of whipped
cream and icing. Johnny's win
some smile beamed at friends
and he gave out kisses all
around.
It was a happy affair. Yet at
one time, Johnny's parents had
little hope he would live to
celebrate even his first birth
day For he was born with the
often fatal birth defect of wa
ter on the brain, or hydro
cephalus. Surgical treatment saved
Johnny's life when he was
three months old. At that time,
doctors performed what is
known as a shunt operation.
They inserted in Johnny's head
a plastic tube which allowed
excess tluid from the brain to
be hurmlo --!' absorbed by the
youngster's body.
Without the operation, fluid
within the brain is prevented
from taking its normal course,

My New Year's
Resolution
1 won't look back. Cod knm
the fruitless efforts, the u:-tel
hours, the sinning, the regrrts. I
leave them all with Him. who
blots the records and mercifully
forgives, and then forgets.
I won't look forward. God sees
all the future; the road that's'
short or hng riYJtead me liome;
and He wall face wnRljae the bur
dents that may come.
But I'll look up, into the face
of Jesus, for there my heart can
rest, my fears are stilled, and
there is joy and love and light
from darkness, perfect peace, and
every hope fulfilled.
