DIM to Cltriitauw coming on Thurs
day this year, it ha* bees difficult to
arrive at u operating ieM«b that
would work beet for the empktfeee
and at the wm tim« enable the mills
to operate as much time aa po—ibis
during Christmas week. However,
after giving this careful considers
tion, the Qsmpany has deeided to
change the running time for' Christ
inas to a schedule which we hope will
more nearly suit our employees' con
venience, It ie asked that employees
please disregard the notice ported De
cember 5. ■
The new schedule for Christines
week is ss follows: Plants will close
down for the Christmas holidays
Wednesdsy night, December 84, at
midnight at the end of the aeeond
shift. The mills will start up on the
third shift at midnight Sunday, De
cember 88.
Tho mills will pay off on Wednes
day, December 24. The third shift
will lave to be paid at the time the
first shift is paid off as it is not
possible to hsve the payroll ready
Tuesday night
This change in the operating sched
ule reduces by one day the original
plans of running for Christmas week,
and due to the urgent need of eloth
to fill orders it Is moot importaat
and management hopes that everyone
will he on the job during the time
that the plants are operating.
V Ail mills will operate full time next
week including New Tear's Day, and
all work performed on New Year's
Day wiji be paid at the rate of time

Christmas Cards
It «u Christmas, 1846, when Jo
seph Cundsll, n London artist, made
the first Christmas card. la the 101
years since, a lot of etiquette rules
have grown up to guide card senders.
Here are some IM7 "do's" and
"don'ts" for card sending, suggested
by Better Homes ft Gardens mngn
aine:
DO:
—Write the name of each family
member when you address or sign a
family card. Or simply write, "The
Oilman*."
—Make your signature suit the
card. For an informal one, your sig
nature can be informal, too. John
and Mary Smith or simply John and
Mary.
—Divide your Christmas list in two.
Send a gay personal greeting with a
hand-written message to intimate
friends. To casual acquaintances and
business associates, send a more re
served card.
—Send card to business associates
home, if you hare the address.
—lnclude a friend's wife or boa
band in the greeting, whether you
know them or not
—Place return on your envelope.
