lers who team up each week
at the Zion Bowling Lanes.
Watch 'em roll the mineralite

careful aim before delivering
the ball = keeping their eyes

snap their fingers and making
facial expressions of satisfac-

gals seem to appreciate the
subsldization to the tune of
$1,000 per season on the part
of the company.
The employees have their
music at the Zion Candy Plant
several periods during the day
and night. At this plant, on a
more or less experimental bas-
is, musical records are played
for several periods for each
shift. 1t is claimed that music
relaxes the nerves and helps
one go through the day with
out fatigue and in good spirits.
Then there are the radios an
nouncing the base ball, foot
ball, hockey and other sport
results provoking the usual
friendly argument over which
one has the best team, which
one is going to win, etc. The
management of Zion Indus
tries, Inc. recently presented
to the employees of the Zion
Baking Industry a new phono-
graph radio.
Still other employees are
members of the local public
recreation organizations and
do their full part in furthering
the sport activities of these
groups. At the Bakery, Cur

General Office, etc., employ
ees take time out on the lib
eral rest periods to enjoy COM
pany provided "coffee on the
house,, discussing sports, ar

into very substantial figures.
During the early summer the
employees anticipate the COM

sporting events for the employ
ees and their families at which
time the eats and drinks and
entertainment are again on the
house. This picnic expense -
entirely company supported
usually runs about $4,000 to
100000. In November the
Zion Loyal Service Club (some
500 and more employees hav-

and an evening of entertain
