Huge Improvement In
Cleanup Campaign

New Castle, Pa.-The Universal
Pottery Company has started drive
for conservation and Local Union No.
1873 has appointed a committee, head
ed by President Peck Huston, to CO.
operate with the officials to gain
some benefit that will bring about
more efficient operation of the ,plant
and eliminate loss, create greater
safety and promote thrift.
Each and every member seems to
have shown willingness to do his
part and the proof Of this is the eff
fort made to clean up the shop. The
plant has never had such a cleansing
before. A remarkable transformation
has taken place in many quarters.
You may truly call it sanitary pot
terry. One of the nice things about it
is the effort made to please the presi-
dent of the company, Keith McAfee,
who is away on his vacation.
There is a very good reason for the
spirit of goodwill existing between
the men of this plant and its presi-
dent. 1t seems at this time we should
show our appreciation of the fair
minded man with whom we have had
to deal. We should show by some ex-
preston of word or deed that we are
willing to cooperate with the man
who has shown his ability to operate
this company successfully.
The job of running this plant has
become more difficult within the last
year and much credit must be given
the president for keeping the plant
running at a profit. Proper materials
have been hard to obtain, in some
cases substitutes were necessary. The
committee realizes that all officials
have shown their ability and their
efforts have brought forth good re-
suits. Vice President Clyde Whitaker
has demonstrated to the committee
that conservation is of vital import
ance to insure continued successful
operation of the plant.
He also brought to the attention Of
the committee that the Universal
Sanitary plant is producing a large
quantity Of ware for defense projects.
Out Of this effort Of conservation may
develop saving on some materials
greatly needed in our defense pro-
gram.
There is a question of iron being
used to make lavatories and large
number are sold made of this ma
terial, but the china lavatory is so
much better in every way than the
iron. 1t will retain it's color; it is
easier to clean and will not chip.
Many good suggestions have been
submitted by the men and officials
and it seems every employe is doing
his bit to contribute to the success of
this event.
1t has been suggested that a visit
ing day for relatives and friends
would be a good thing to inspire a
greater effort to improve the looks of
the plant. Some think that refresh
ments would be appreciated on visit
ing day, and clean white trousers and
shirt every Monday morning would
not be amiss. This is the place we
live in a good part of our time and
we feel sure this cleanup effort will
| do much toward sanitation and the
safeguarding of our health. Let the
committee have your suggestions and
let's get some real benefit out Of CO.
operation.
This cooperation for the benefit OF
ali employees of sanitary shops could
be adopted by the head of each COM
pany producing sanitary ware and il
they could get together for their OWL
