Dollars And Sense!

The members of the Argus Profit Sharing Savings-Retirement ])) Plan held their annual dinner meeting Monday evening. October 21 at the Masonic Temple. Some 300 Argus employees enjoyed a good dinner and a pleasant evening. After everyone had eaten his fill and the tables were cleared. Mr Howse talked to the group touching briefly upon the purpose of the Plan and introducing the Managing Committee as those who did the work involved in the administration of its funds. Purpose of the Plan Mr Howse told us that the sole purpose of the plan is to reward each employee in proportion to his years of loyal service. He stated that if we are to be realistic we must admit that not all of us will reach the top. With this in mind the present management of Xrgus was determined. he said, to find a suitable way to help those who remain with the company a long time to attain the maximum possible financial independence upon reaching the retirement age. He told us that numerous types of profat sharing plans were thoroughly studied in an effort to find one that would be most equitable and as a result of these studies, our plan was patterned after one which has been in operation for many years. He pointed out that our plan is designed so that the amount oí the employee's contribution is limited to $200 in any one year. Because of this limitation. higher paid employees are prevenid from making large deposits which would entitle them to the hon s share of the funds. This restriction on the amount any member may deposit provides the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people. Optimistic About Future In speaking of the future at Argus. Mr. Howse stated several new products are about ready to go into production and that at present we are manufacturing more cameras per day than ever before in the history of the company and that when our present facilities are put to full use. greater production will follow. He called our attention to the extensive plant expansión and remodeling which has taken considerably longer to accomplish than had been anticipated and pointed to this delay in construction work as one of the difficulties in planning a smooth flow of production. He also told us that certain materials have been very difficult to obtain due mostly to the irregularity of production in suppliers plants. He expressed his feeling, however. that all of these difficulties will soon be overeóme and that we will be on our way to the top in our field. Company Information and Facts Available As Mr. Howse talked to us. he emphasized one of our most f ished privileges. He stressed the policy of the company which provides an open channel of information concerning our jobs at Argus. Facts and figures pertaining to the company's business, as well as all information concerning our jobs here, are available to employees for the asking and he urged us to make full use of this privilege. He then introduced Mr. Leason. who very ably presented the financial statistics as shown in the annual report to the stockholders. Mr. Leason did an admirable job of handling the complicated subject of company finances. He told us that, barring unforseen difficulties. the company should make real progress during the coming year. He called our attention to the fact that the Profit Sharing Fund is the owner of Argus Profit Sharing Preferred Stock in the amount of $200,000 and that the company paid dividends of 5% to the fund as stockholders. He also pointed out that net income to the fund from dividends and relinquishments was $36,128.48 or 10.34% of the members' total credits. When the presentation of the financial data was completed. Mr. Leason asked for an open discussion but since he had done such a fine job of giving us the facts there were no questions asked. Harry Letsis Paid In Full Picture on page two shows Harry Letsis receiving a check for his full share of the Profit Sharing, Savings-Retirement Fund from Mrs. Radford. Harry has been employed by Argus since August 10, 1937 and was one of the original members of the Plan. During the life of the plan he deposited $613.73 in the fund. Harry recently resigned his position with the company to take over the management and ownership of the cafetería and since he has reached the retirement age specified in the by-laws he was paid his deposits; his share of the fund income, $402.24, plus his entire share of the amount which had been contributed by the company, $1702.39. The total check amounted to $2718.36. We take this opportunity to extend to Harry our thanks for a job well done and it wish him every good fortune in his new venture.

Big Payoff

Nellie Nose - It

Dear Mabel : Now I know who wears the pants in jer'tain family here. You must rememoer hearing about the gal that spent all her money on a pair of dungarees, then lost the package? Well, her fellow workers came to the rescue. They took up a collection to buy a new pair of dungarees. The purchase was made, and to make the gift more personal, her name was stenciled on the back side. Then the "committee" sent the gift via the factory mail and when our girl friend opened the envelope . . . guess what! The new "dungarees" were extremely short, and made of pink silk! The best hunting story we've heard yet was the one about an able Argus nimrod who tramped the hills and dales in search of pheasants, but couldn't even find one. He finally gave up and drove home, but his family had meat for dinner anyway - On the way home, our hero ran over a rabbit with his car! ... Wonder why he doesn't try hunting pheasants with an airplane? It happened during Tire Prevention Week too ! We were all up in the cafetería, getting our mid-morning dose of caffeine, when a gal lit a cigarette and threw the match under the table. (Well, you know the ashtray situation up there, and how was she to know that the match didn't quite reach the floor?) Unfortunately too, the match was still carrying a torch ! Hours later, or so it seemed, our feminine pyromaniac started acting in the manner expected from one who gets a hot seat and you can imagine the riot. We're still having hysterics. Wet cement can also be a bit sticky. So it was discovered by one of our dumb bunnies when she strolled through three squares of wet sidewalk cement before she knew her shoes were going slurp, slurp. Now we understand why they wrote that song, "Ceement mixer, putty, putty". That girl probably has a brain so small she can wear a tea bag for a snood ! Seriously speaking Mabel, don't forget this is the kind of weather the cold fcjgs like to set up housekeeping. To disJhrage their occupancy in your house, Ve sure to keep warm, get plenty of rest and sleep, and it's advisable to stay home and read the papers more thoroughly, than to go to a movie where others coughs and sneezes spreads diseases. Gotta go now . . . Let me know the gossip in your department when you have a spare minute to write.

Sympathy Notice

Our sincere sympathy is extended to Isabelle Nash who recently lost her father.

Over The Top!

Argus employees maintained their record again this year . . . Our Community Chest quota was filled in the first 26 hours of the Drive! $2,200 was the figure aimed at but this was boosted to $2,439 during the first week and contributions were still coming in when Argus Eyes went to press. Chairman Mrs. Grace Radford reported that the combined efforts of Co-chairman Mrs. Barbara Titus and Captains William Bone, Richard Wilson, Harry Rookes, Robert Haines, Larry Jones. Harry Caufman, Wilhio Kelly and Mrs. Viola Tyler made this achievement possible. As you probably know, the Company will match the total Argus employees' contribution, dollar for dollar. Therefore, the Argus contribution alone will redound to our benefit by making possible the continued functioning of the Ann Arbor Community Chest. Many many thanks to every Argus employee for continued loyal support and cooperation. We all are extremely proud of the fact that the people at Argus recognize a worthy cause and give freely and generously to better our community through the support of the Ann Arbor Community Chest.

Smudges From The Paint Shop

The Paint Shop finally had their picnic at Fritz Park. It was a little late in the season, but a hugh success. Lots to eat with Sally Kneiper, Ethel Sali, Laura Snearle and Katherine Pfahe on the Committee. Refreshments were furnished by the men, which meant there was plenty of everything. Bill Phillips was not able to attend. He said his wife wouldn't let him, but we think it had something to do with the previous Saturday night. How about that, Bill? Sy Harding has been on the sick list the past week but is up kicking again. There's just no holding him down. There have been showers in the Paint Shop recently, the indoor kind. Peggy Crump gave one for Sally Stone at her home. Della Dieble and Helen Frazer gave one for Katie Bauer at the Michigan League. They both received many lovely gifts which will come in handy in a very short time as both are being married this month. Orvile Harrison and Peck Loy were the only two from our Department who ventured out the first day of hunting. They didn't bring any birds back, but from all reports had a good time.

In Remembrance

The location is back in a corner of the second floor and it suxe will seem quiet after the sounds of hammering the pipes, walls, ceilings and dirt falling in our hair. Don't forget to come back and say helio to us as we are going to miss the "Grand Central Station" noise of our old location. Evelyn Loy is of the opinión that Buick convertibles are super. She drove one the other day and we were certainly surprised that both the car and Evelyn got back in one piece. Guess everything and everybody must have been completely covered with insurj anee !

Sales Slips

Little Johnny, in a fit of insane, Put his head beneath a train. People were amazed to find How it broadened Johnny's mind. e is nothing as refreshing as a poem, to get down to f acts; the thing that's worrying us most is, will Doris Strite ever recover from not going to the Army game? She begged, offered, and threatened but did Kelly get her a ticket? . . . . No! And thus we see Doris, a beaten woman, bitter at life, and all because she couldn't go to the Army game!

Our Department has been brightened by the new shinning faces of Barbara Barr (status: engaged), Elsie Wright (status: married), Pat Fleming (status: married), Fleurette Traxler (status: married) and Laura Legg (status: married). They're all swell kids,. let's hope they like us and decide to stick around. Ann, Elaine, Marge and Evelyn still continue to keep the bowling team up there among the top teams. Yours truly just goes along to fill in the fifth space. Ann tells us we may have a sponsor. We may become Cupid's little Pin Poppers. How about it Ann? Funny thing about a cold, after it finds out it can't kill you, it goes away. But it did keep Jackie away for almost a week. She's back now but no longer Jackie . . . Now we cali her the "Sulfa Kid" !

Miss Lundahl. have you ever considered a trolley between your office and Mr. Hilton's? Seems like you'd be all worn out from all that walking. Yes girls, Dorothy Meineke talks, it's just that everyone else talks louder and faster so Dorothy has decided to save her voice. Someday when we are all worn out she'll still be able to talk. Irene Schneider has been voted "Girl most likely to succeed" in the Dictaphone Department. Gee Irene, don't you ever get tired? Mr. Hilton is back from his trip to Hawaii. He certainly looked happy when he breezed in on Monday morning and from all reports, Hawaii is OKAY!

Audry Harding left us on October 15. Seems she has a better job. Becoming a mother to be exact. And now a word to the ladies. Girls, don't let the meat shortage get you down. Smile and try Evelyn Navarre's Iatest receipt. She ingeniously calis it "Egg a la Egg". Break several eggs in fcbaking dish. Stir eggs. Put eggs in to 'Bke. Take eggs out of oven. Eat eggs. No mess, no bother, no taste. The poor girls in the office are still suffering from ringing in their ears. The phones were so busy after last month's Argus Eyes came out that you couldn't even hear the typewriters. The calis were all from women (single and married) , asking whether or not Bud Davis.

Jim Steel, Bill Armstrong and Leíty Howell were married and if not, how they could meet them. Those pictures certainly started the women drooling. Jim Steel even got an offer from Hollywood !

Carolyn Wiley our D. M. girl) is getting married November 2nd. Lynn Dancer is the lucky fellow. Any wonder that "Cal" Foster in the Shipping Department has been finding all those typing errors? Best of luck, Carolyn and Lynn! Lots of the fellows around this office got the hunting fever. Paul Haines became ill on the lSth, but reports 1 pheasant and lots of exercise the following day. We are still trying to figure that one out ! Sympathy is extended to John Shattuck, who's car broke down a few days before the season opened. John had no choice but to come to work. He says he will make up for it later. Florence Esslinger also enjoys this sport. Do any of you fellows want to match her skill?

Look for details in the next issue of Argus Eyes and meanwhile, we'd like to wish the couple lots of best wishes and happiness.

You Must Recall Hartman

The story goes that upon leaving Ann Arbor, and moving to Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, a church problem arose. Mrs. Hartman, after attending church for three or four consecutive Sundays, was approached by the good Father and asked, "What's Mr. Hartman?" She thought a moment and replied, "I don't know". He asked, "Lutheran?" She answered "no". She also answered "No" to all the other religions. Finally he asked her if he was one of the Klu Klux Klan. "What is that?", she asked. He said, "That's a devil under a sheet." She said, "That's Hartman!"

Receiv'g Inspection

We welcome the following new-comers to our Department : Walter Gowdy. Norman Lymons, Charles Desmond, Dave Redden, Ben Martin and Prancis Nokes. We're glad to have Betty back af ter a brief illness. She ooks fine now. Leola attended the Lions football game at Detroit last Sunday, and all those who were lucky to get tickets, attended the Army-Michigan game on Saturday. Were curious to know what the attraction is out on U. S. 23. Leola is seen out that way of ten! Mary Jane, Ida, Eileen and Leola motored out to the Farm Cupboard for a chicken dinner. They sure looked sleepy the next morning . . . and said the "theater" kept them out late!

Amanda has had fifteen new babies just recently, and they really keep her busy. That many puppies would keep anyone busy ! Harold went duck hunting the other day and said the ducks didn't duck, because he brought home two. Stuart tells us quite a lot about his "161" games in bowling. How about the others, Stu? We are sorry to see "Mac" leave us again, but we hope he is happy in his new job. We welcome Joe Rapley and Ralph Ridenour, our new gage Inspectors. Naomi is flashing a new ring on the third finger of her left hand! When will the big event take place, Naomi? We are glad to hear Nina is better. She is still with her sister in Detroit.

Scraps From Machine Shop

FLASH : Bom to Mr. & Mrs. Adolph teinke - not one, but seven ! Wittle White Wabbits . . . Adolph says quote, Shucks, nothing to it!" You've had the football game scores, he baseball games results, and the )owling standings, so here's our hunting eason results f or October ISth : Frank Johnson shot 1 rabbit. Franis Wright shot two pheasants but ouldn't find 'em afterwards. ("They were big ones, too!") Conley Graves lot one squirrel, he brought his home! W. Graves didn't see a pheasant ut he did get a squirrel. John Perry iot one pheasant (anybody got a spare cense?). Charles Dressel saw a bird and shot at it without a shell in the hamber. Tsk, tsk. Herbert Whitie loberts shot a bird and a squirrel. . E. Donohue got back. Cliff Olson saw a squirrel, but missed!" Richard 'urner saw seven foxes, got one rabbit and one squirrel. George Navarre shot one squirrel. Paul Haines shot a pheasant. Doc Huston brought home a pheasant. Cari Seegar got the bird limit. George Pickering got "the bird'" (the next day when Boston lost the World Series). Jem Eubank, "Oh w.ell, today is meat day at Packers". Charles Weir didn't shoot any pheasants. None happened to fly through Cupid's! Ozzie Hoeít got one rabbit and one pheasant. John Shannahan got 4 glasses. Mr. S Mrs. Louis Belleau are now comfortably settled in their new house on their one acre farm on West Ellsworth road, some seven miles from town.

This is the sad tale of Harry Rooks. Or rather, his new house. Anyway, it's sad. In the beginning, Harry had a beautiful corner lot on which to build his Home Sweet Home. Then the State Highway decided to build a road so they chopped off a corner of Harry 's lot. The road finally developed into a boulevard and of course, another slice of the lot had to be taken for the dividing strip of grass and another slice for the other half of the boulevard. Naturally, there must be a space between the road and the sidewalk so a slice was taken for it. Then the sidewalk itself cut into the lot .... and before our boy could say "skooryrrah" - that's Harry Rooks spelled backwards, he had a lot so small that now he just has enough space to build a log cabin about the size of his machine shop office. We're just hoping Chick Sales doesn't come along the boulevard and cut a half-moon in Harry's front door!

Miss America-1965

Sports

After the first five weeks of the 1946-47 Argus bowling season, the teams are beginning to level off with the Bears holding down the first slot with a record of 16 wins and 4 losses. The return of many service men has added strength to many of the teams, and if these can regain their old form, it is more than likely that the title will be decided by their showing. In these first weeks, Bears, Tool Inspection, Cellar Aces and Office have taken over the lead roles, but it is too early to establish any one of these as the team to baat for the championship. The Cellar Aces have been a definite surprise this year. In past seasons this entry has struggled to keep' out of the cellar, but at this date the team is only two games out of first place. Tool Inspection, captained by Bill Fraser, led the league for the first four weeks and the members of this team have been bowling exceptionally well, but this fact will prove a handicap in the weeks to follow. Carrying high averages will make it necessary for the Inspectors to spot other teams and this may prove to be their downfall. Of the four teams leading at this point it seems that Office is in the best position. The Office five is only two games off the pace, and they have been able to gain this rating with none of its members up to his past average. When this team hits its stride, it is going to be a tough one to beat. Last year's Championship Methods team has. the same group back this year, and it is certain that they will be in fight for the title. At the pre-season meeting it was decided again this year to offer extra cash prizes for the first seven places. With this added incentive it is certain that the teams will battle for these place positions. Early season form has meant very little in past years, so it seems reasonable to expect one of those teams down in the standings will move into a challenging position and capture the crown.

Football

The eyes of the football world were focused upon Ann Arbor on October 12th when mighty Army tangled with Michigan which is boasting one of the best teams in the history of the school. The game was played before an overflow crowd of 80,000 wild-eyed spectators, and it is doubtful if any day for the entire season will furnish the thrills

an chills that this struggle did. The Army powerhouse entered this game with a record of 21 consecutive wins and the Wolverines were intent upon breaking that string. The Michigan eleven failed to do this, but they carried the fight the entire game only to ose out by the score of 20-13. Bef ore the final gun sounded, however, the Army team and its Cadet supporters suffered the most uncomfortable moments they have had in the past three years. After the loss of this game the coaches will concéntrate on winning the Big Nine title. Miching and Northwestern are the only teams in the conference who have not suffered a defeat. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio State should not cause too much trouble in the Wolverine's other conference games so the Michigan eleven should enjoy its first undisputed championship of the last thirteen years.

Bowling Notes From The Ladies' League

The Argus Ladies League, going into the sixth week of bowling has posted some fine scores already.

No wonder she didn't remember all the details of that game. Now we understand, Betty. We're sorry to hear that Virginia hasn't been feeling well these past few days. Hurry and get well Ginny. because we miss you. The newest recruits in the Department are Ada Karr. Dorothy Warren. Charlene James, Helen Jahlfs, Ertis Hannan, Mary Rafeld, Ann Pickering and Edith Garlick. Blondes predominating of course. Girvan. you can't do this to us! We miss Cecile Eubank and hope she'll be with us soon. Since her illness we've noticed there's not enough laughter in her corner. What's the matter with Alyce M. lately? We haven't heard about her romancing for a long time. Could it be she 's being secretive?? Too bad Mary Green couldn't start the hunting season with a bang. It seems someone stole her gun. The meanies! Tough luck, Mary. It's like oíd times having Dagney Smock with us again. Uncle Sam got her man. Temporary set up though. In the meantime, we're also getting another good bowler for our team. We need your support Dagney. Mary Wingrove is on the run these days too. The reason of course is her son Raymond will marry Vivían Delano, October 25th. About the toughest problem now, we'll all agree, is the housing problem. "Red" is the latest victim. Right now even a good buy on a "pup" tent would

be welcome. Any clues to one would be greatly appreciated. Just contact Red or Eddie in the Assembly Department. "Ma" Green still gets around to visit the sick and we think she's mighty thoughtful. Ruby Hanselman made a quick trip to Pikeville, Kentucky, to see her sister who was seriously ill. Hope she recovers rapidiy, Ruby. What fellow in the Optical Assembly gave a certain girl $2.00 to get a marriage license to marry another guy? Broadminded we'd say. This same girl s so jittery and nervous anyone just ouldn't help guess she's taking that atal step soon. Leona Ward is now singiñg, 'Oh, hose lonely nights", since they switched íer hubby's shift. Some people can get away with murder these days. Ask Bette R. whose nusband is now on the pólice forcé. Now all the girls want to get lost so ie can take them home. He's that handome ! Congratulations Esther W., on your jrand new grand-daughter. We hear she's very sweet. All we'll have to do is ook at your face to be convinced of that. There's a couple of blondes in this Department that have been wishing and praying for a chance to get better acquainted with our new fellow. Come on Ted, give us a break. The song "Shanty Town" by Johnny Long used to be our favorite until a certain girl in the assembly got the words for it. Esther McAuliffe and her daughter Carol, are beginning to wonder if this trip to Japan is worth all the needies they have been getting. It's no joke, says Esther.

Say girls, have you heard anything about a man shortage here? It seems since a little gal from Pinckney carne here, there just aren't enough to go around. She rides to work in the morning with several, meets another on her rest period and even has two helpers book her at noon hours f or several dates in advance. It's a gift, girls. Helen Fraser and Della Dieble gave a miscellaneous shower for Katie Bauer, at the Michigan League in the Kalamazoo room. About thirty girls attended, games were played and fun was had by all. She was showered with many beautiful gifts. Katie will take that big step on October 26th. We know she'll make a lovely bride and we wish her the best of happiness.

Hello Veterans--welcome Home!

Optical Illusions

This is the latest scoop from Department 27 & 28 .... or, "Midnight Madness". Freddie (Hot-Lip's) Bentz, the checker board glamour boy, has seriously been considering Tex Beneke's advice and is to start lessons soon .... on the piano. Leo has been quite starry-eyed lately, could be an addition to the family, Leo? Yes, could be. Hmmmmm. Bud Robert's is going back to the Buckeye State and go into the Real Estáte business .... Thing's are looking up. B. Billau has a large sign by his home, 'Professional Advice to Pheasant Hunters".

Conrad Ganzhorn got his limit the ñrst day of hunting season . . . but he has been feeding the same pheasants all summer, the rascal. Ted Trib (The Wolf) has been preying on innocent victims down Dexter way, or so they say. Paul (Muscle-Man) McCoy has been taking weight lifting quite seriously but he had been neglecting his hair, which he usually has set twice a week. Pepper has smiled three times in the

past week, and took four real fast steps, which is very unusual, but it's nice to know he's awake. Ray Taylor has been getting results and moving a lot of glass in Department 28. But we would like to know where he hides his whip at night. We all think Albert G. looks sort of run down and should take our advice and take some good tonic. Maybe a good night's sleep will do 'the trick, Al. Ann Andrews has recently been voted the prettiest girl in Department 28. There's no question about it. There are a lot of new faces in Department 27. We all hope they enjoy working in our big happy family.

When you see M. Marshall yawn and stretch, you should know why he doesn't get any sleep at night. The way we understand it, he has a brand new car and he sits up all night just looking at it! Bill Gillespie still thinks that Gene Autry should be featured on the Hit Parade instead of Andy Russell. 'Nuff dirt for this issue, see you nw-tv month ! Tj,

A Very Happy Birthday, Dad!
