Upon entering the store the
officials from National Spinning
took a cart or basket to keep
up with the purchases m?de by
the children. While no ?pet
amount was specified, each
1 child was SUowed from $10
1 to $15 to spend as he or she
?chose.
tJrmn selection of a or A
Items, eyes getting larger with
each purchase, It was hard for
the children to understand that
there was still selections to
be made and in some instances.
It took urging to get the youn
sters to continue shopping.
Some of the plant officials
designated for their first "sho
pping trip" with the company
nad misgivings and werefrank
S unimpressed. They felt that
ey had been handeo a boring
chore of glorified baby sitting.
What a treat was In store for
those men! It proved to be the
very best part of Christmas
for them.
One official reported that he
had probably spent more money
than was allocated for him, but
he said he would gladly pay
the difference out of his own
pocket. His ptgtogee, after
spending about & said "If I
go home with any more stuff
my daddy will - ----- - -."

sonnel director. Warren Crea
