New Castle, Pa.-ThiS seems to be
the time of the year when we look
back over what we have accomplished
the past year and formulate plans for
the new year.
The sanitary workers have had
pretty steady employment during the

preciation to the officials of the firm
for the successful operation during tn"
past year. We know of course without
intelligent management our chances
for steady employment, good wages
and better working conditions would
not be possible.
While in the complimentary mood
we must not forget the wonderful work
The committee on health and safety in
the plant has accomplished. The firm
has encouraged this work and anything
asked of them is always granted if at
all possible We extend our thanks TO
the members of this committee and
hope they will continue their good
work in the new year.
