the game rooms in this part of the
building, on the first floor the audi

WAGE INCREASE
AT PLANT HERE
Employees of the Wilson Cab
met Co. Here to Receive
5 Cent Wage Increase
EFFECTIVE JUNE 18th

Employees of the Wilson Cabin
ct Co., Inc, here will receive a
general wage increase of five cents
per hour effective with the pay
roll period ending June 10, it was
announced today by officials of
the company. The increase, in
keeping with the Wilson policy of
doing everything possible to make
work in the modern Wilson plants
as attractive and rewarding as
possible for its loyal employees,
will add a considerable amount to
the already large payrolls which
have meant so much to the busi-
ness life of this area. During the
past eleven years the refrigeration
equipment designed and manufac-
tured by Wilson Cabinet Co., Inc,
has met with enthusiastic nation
wide acceptance, with a conse-
quent doubling and redoubling of
plant facilities and a correspond
ing increase in employment oppor-
tunities. When present shortages
of parts occasioned by recent
strikes are overcome, the Labor
Management Committee expects
further great advances in employ
ment to maintain Smyrna's pres
ent position as the national center
for the manufacture of exclusive
types of farm freezers and farm
milk coolers. Among the accom-
plishments to date of the Labor
Management Committee in furth-
ering the interests of the Wilson
employee are the establishment of
a voluntary group insurance plan,
with life insurance, health and ac-
cident benefits and disqualification
and surgical benefits, the major
cost of which is borne by the COM
pany; the adoption of a profit
sharing plan with longevity fea-
ture; and a system of holidays
with pay and paid vacations ac-
coring to terms laid down by the
Committee, which represents both
Labor and Management in further
ing the interests of Wilson employ

like, which is not the same as be-
ing childish, and urged them to
have fun. He deplored the criti-

said that this difficult time is
transition, and transition means
LrynS. lueSe are 5ioWiiS
pains in the evolution of the hui
man family" he said. He chided
those men who clothe themselves
with superfluous dignity in order
to take care of an inferiority COM
plex, and said that those who en-
ter the kingdom of anticipation,
progress and attainment must be-
come as children. America is
spiritual" he stated, and we have
no room for crackpot schemes
parboiling in the cauldron of Eu-
ropean politics" DR.. c. j.. Prick
ett, president-elect of the Smyrna
Rotary Club, and Mrs. Prickett,
and Mr.. and Mrs. George Wright
