THE VICK WISHES YOU A Vol. 6 Greensboro, N. C, & Philadelphia, Pa., December, 1954 No. 10 THE CHRISTMAS STORY In those day's a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you; you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men." When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste, and found Mary and the babe lying in a manger. Luke 2:1-16 i_ • - - „ VISIONS OF A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS are reflected on Joann Mulligan's face as she dreams of Santa and his bag full of presents. The proud father of this 4 year old sweetheart is Bill Mulligan, Philadelphia Maintenance. Philadelphians Expect Santa Claus At Annual Christmas Party Today On Wednesday, December 22, operations will stop in the Philadelphia plant at 3:15 in order that all the employees may gather in the cafeteria for the annual Christmas party. Santa is making a special trip in order to be on hand for the first drawing of the many attractive gifts. Twelve beautiful prizes will be given to the lucky holders of the winning numbers which will be given to everyone as they enter the cafeteria. Highlighting the entertainment will be solos by ~va Petko ana Bill Mulligan and a male quartet singing traditional Christmas songs. There will be caroling by the entire group prior to the drawing of the prizes. Dick Jamison will act as MC for the program. Invitations have been sent to all the Vick servicemen and retired employees in hopes that the whole "family" may be together on this festive occasion. Rush Wins $20 In Phila. Idea Meeting; Raber Receives 5th Award Four suggestions received token awards at the November meeting of the Philadelphia Suggestion Committee. Edward Mulvehill of the Maintenance Department suggested installing a flexible tube from the sugar hopper to the exhaust fan in order to keep the fine sugar dust awaj from the operator and the electric motors and controls. The installation of Ed's idea will help eliminate this troublesome condition. Mary Raber, V&V, was given an award for her suggestion that the sound absorbing box on the Inhaler Base Drilling Machine be hinged to the body of the machine. Such a hinged cover will make cleaning the machine much easier. Mary now has qualified for consideration as Suggester of the Year, having had five approved suggestions since May 1, 1954. Louis Rush, Maintenance, received two token awards at the November meeting. Lou suggested that a light be placed over the No. 2 Cutter with about twenty-five feet of cord attached (Continued On Page 3) "WELL ... I'M NOT SO SURE" says mature 4 year old Sally Taillon daughter of Joe Taillon of Greensboro Maintenance. But baby sister Joanne mirrors the hope, faith and certainty that Santa will come- perhaps right now! $12,661 In Christmas Savings Club Realized By Greensboro Members Santa Claus has quite a few conspirators among Greensboro members of the Vick "family." The Christmas Savings Club ended the 1954 club year with 119 persons having a total balance of $12,661, over $1,800 more than the record total saved last year. In 1953, 108 members saved $10,815 which represented a record for the past three years. Thus, 1954 sets a new record in both the number of accounts and the amount saved. Weekly payments are turned in to Irene Culler in the V & V Laboratory and to designated members of the Social and Recreation Committee at the Wendover Avenue laboratories. Helen Laughon handles the collections from the office employees. These collectors then forward the payments to Helen who has been handling our club since Vick personnel began participating. Sam Mundy picks up the money from Helen and delivers it to Security National Bank. The club, which will be handled again next year by the Security National Bank, runs for a period of fifty weeks. The amount a member deposits regularly is based upon the sum he wishes to receive in December of the next year, but there is a mimimum of fifty cents per week. Once a person has started making contributions, he cannot withdraw his savings until the year-end distribution is made. Delightful Surprises Await G'boro Folk At Christmas Parties As the whistles tootle merrily, operations at both Greensboro plants will stop today at 3:15 to permit everyone to attend the annual Christmas parties. Renewing old friendships with our special guests, the retired employees and the servicemen, all members of the Vick Family will meet in the Wendover Avenue or Milton Street cafeterias. As each person enters the cafeteria, he will receive a number which gives him a chance at winning an attractive prize in the drawing that is held. No Yuletide festivity would be complete, of course, without singing the traditional Christmas carols. Some surprise entertainment and light refreshments have been planned.
