Reviewing Argus Progress

The fiscal year ended July 31, and we are now waiting for the final accounting f rom our auditor s. From preliminary reports, our sales will be well over the $19,000,000 mark--indicating a very satisfactory year. Members of our profit-sharing plan will be glad to know that the fiscal year has been a good one for them. The company's contribution to the fund will be larger than ever bef ore. PRODUCTION UP FOR CHRISTMAS DEMAND As you know, the photographic industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The pre-Christmas season is particularly active. We are entering that season with a substantial back-order, which means that we have more orders to fill than we have products available. To meet them and to prepare for an active Fall, we have feit it necessary to increase production on several of our products. If we didn't make the effort to get extra production, our competitors would fill the demand. This seasonal demand should be met sometime in December, and it seems likely that our production will have to be reduced somewhat at that time. The recent hot spell carne when it was important for us to keep our production going. I appreciate the way you all pitched in throughout the uncomfortable weather to make that possible. SOFTBALL TEAM VÍCTOR Y HIGHLIGHTS SUMMER The big news of the summer has been the way our softball team carne through to share the city Recreation League title. Joe O'Donnell and Louie Belleau deserve a lot of credit for shaping up a winning team. Independence Lake was a favorite spot for the Lewis family this summer. It was always a pleasure to meet some of you out there. I understand the fishing at our Recreation Área has been especially good this year. From what I have heard, several of you are turning in entries that will be hard to beat in the Fishing Contest. EMPLOYEE MEETING SCHEDULED On a number of occasions I have had an informal get-together with those people interested in discussing any problems in connection with their jobs or with our company in general. For those who would like to chat with me, F 11 be in the cafeteria at 3:30 on Wednesday, September 30. There will be c of fee and doughnuts on hand for all who would like them. I look forward to meeting you there.

Community Chest--red Cross Drive Begins Oct. 12

The Community Chest drive opens in Ann Arbor October 12 and will extend through October 23. Again this year we are combining the Red Cross drive with the Community Chest for the convenience of Argus employees. Every one of us benefits in one way or another f rom the good work of these two groups. Several of our employees have received untold benefit f rom consultation with the Family Service, a Red Feather Agency. Many of our children attend Perry Nursery -another Red Feather Agency maintained for our benefit. A third Red Feather Agency --the Michigan ChildrenTs Aid Society investigates and approves licensing of boarding homes for our children and for children to be adopted. Among the other Red Feather Agencies are the YMCA, the YWCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Dunbar Center, Salvation Army, the Public Health Nursing Association, and the Community Nursing Council. We can all point to times when one or several of these agencies have enriched our lives. How well they can continue their good work depends on us. The Red Cross has made possible our Industrial Blood Bank which provides blood for ourselves or our loved ones in any emergency. During the recent Flint disaster, our Ann Arbor Red Cross was on the spot with blood and supplies. The Red Cross and the Community Chest need our generous support. Let's do our share by giving one full dayTs pay!

Argus Bull And Bears Investigate-then Invest

Eleven Argus employees with a few dollars to spare each month have joined together to become part owners of some of America' s largest corporations. Known as the Argus "Buil and Bears," they investígate various stocks, pool their money, and invest it in growth companies that have provided steady dividends over a period of years. Dick Dorow, of Optical Assembly, is president of the organization. Treasurer -Agent is Wiles Converse, of Standards, with Bill Thompson,, of Standards, as Secretary. Organized in April, the members already own stock in three different corporations. Clubs like the "Buil and Bears" have three purposes: 1. To edúcate members in fundamental investment principies and techniques; 2. To follow the growth theory of investing, on a mutual basis; and 3. To invest regular ly and take advantage of compound interest. TheT'Bull and Bears" meet monthly. Members report on common stocks which they have analyzed since the previous meeting. Then decisions are made on whether to buy or sell a stock, or whether to take no action. Since the club is interested in medium and long-term growth rather

than speculative equities, the members invest their money in growth companies that have shown steady dividends over a number of years. Investment clubs like the MBull and Bears" are springing up all over the country because they provide a way for an individual of average means to invest in good common stocks.

You Asked Andy

íwo weeks of fishin' -- man, what a Ufe! My blue gills looked pretty good until I saw the catch Paul Haines

got at Independe nee. Can anybody top 'em? Suggestion Awards I'm still tussling with some of the whoppers you folks dropped in the question boxes. Like the question f rom the Tool Room on who is eligible for suggestion awards.

That's been a hot problem for so long that the committee's applied for admission to the National Association of Suggestion Systems, and our own suggestion rules will be reviewed inth e light of other company's experience. As soon as that s been done, suggestions that have been recently ruled ineligible for awards will be reconsidered ínother whopper concerned the pay and effort dxfference between Plants I and II. I dropped that in Brinkerhoffs lap and it's getting a thorough airing. Safety in the Plant . - A long letter trom a safety -conscious gal in the Machine Shop pointed up some real hazards in the plant. They'rebeing investigated, and the University's Bureau of Industrial Health has been called in to help. I-ve asked Tess Canja to do a follow-up m the Argus Eyes next month on plant safety. In the meanüme i safety ideas are sure to win suggestion awards. If you ve got an idea, turn it in!

Department 22 Raises "" These answers were easier to land: I anderstand some in Dept. 22 ot a raise. Vhy didn t all? All skilled workers (job classifications 8 and above) got a 10$ increase as a result of changes in automotive labor contracts. It was a general wage change in the Detroit área, and Argus led the way for Ann Arbor. Rest Room Maintenance How about a nev, Kotex machine or fixing the one thaf a in the first-floor rest room in Plant II? ' Mv emissary-I was barred from making a personal survey-reported that was due to an empty machine. She'salsopromisedto check the machin es for me from time to time. But if any of you gals don't get your nickel' s worth, see Fran Watterworth. New Absence Policy The new absence policy brought on the question Why don't they put up a bulletin about three absences m a JUday period? Bill Sturgis was the guy to see. He explained that the policy is not intended to créate a hardship on anyone St habitual absentees. If you've been absent more than once in a month, your foreman is to consider your reasons and explain the policy to you thoroughly, before any warning is given. Kev Men Meetings - Bob Lewis answered this one: Whv is it a picked few widows, divorcees or single Zin are invited "o attend the Key (married) Men s ton. and recreat ion trips to ball émes etc It appears neither by seniority or set bracket of ability. Every woman invited, Bob said, holds a supervisory position or its equivalent. He added that the Key Men are very married.

That answers seven of Tem--two more still in the pot! One Of VOU wanted tO knOW: Do all personnel employees keen and post their time clock car ds in the ir desks as First Aidnurse rather than punch at --or are there an excused few? The answer's easy. There are an excused few- nonexempt personnel working outside the plant, non-exempt who travel a good deal, and persons who were recently transferred from an exempt status. Fran's the only person so affected in Personnel. Salaried Pay Days " Eightdown, one to go, and it concerns salaried pay. Could it be possible for us to be paid on a designated day every other week to avoid the crowd at the bank, especially on the last day of the month? Brinkerhoff reported that it's possible, but not practical as yet. It would mean multiplying every monthly salary by 12, then dividing by 26 instead of 24. That would change our bond deduction, group Insurance, and merit increase set-ups-a big job to tackle. If you bank your check, why not mail it in? Or if you cash it, try a grocery store. Many, like Wrigley's handle them. Meanwhile, a check is being made to see if the paydays could fall on other than the 15th and 3Oth. Fll keep you posted. That's all for this month, folks! Keep your questions rolling. FU keep on diggin' ! ANDY

Sports Review

Only the completion of the Argus open and , the final play-offs between the leagues' L ners remain for this year's golfing season. $ { Interest reached an all-time high this year, with more than 100 Argus employees participating. It was necessary to organize three different leagues for the day shift group and another for the night shift workers. NEW HANDICAP BASIS WORKS OUT WELL For the first time, the handicaps were figured on a 100% basis, and even though there

may have been some wailing .om the lower handicap players, the final results of the league seem to indicate that the move may have been a good one. Each of the three leagues for the day shift group enjoyed the closest races that we have had since we first organized three years ago. In each group, the title was not decided until the last match of the schedule had been completed. GRIMSTON-EGGLESTON TAKE TUESDAY TITLE Through the greater part of the season, the combine of Myers and Koch had led the Tuesday league, and seemed to be in the driver's seat until the last few weeks of the season. In the meantime, the duo of Grimston and Eggleston had stayed within striking distance of the leaders, cutting down the margin so that the title was decided on the last night when these two giants crashed head-on. Jack and Morris were equal to the test and proudly walked off the ninth green with a hard-earned victory and the league title. PESTER-BLACKWELL FORGE TO TOP OF WEDNESDAY GROUP The Wednesday group enjoyed an even more hectic race with no less than five of the entries having a mathematical chance to win or share the title before the final round was played. Dick Foster and Ed Adler had led the parade most of the year, but in the final weeks of play, began to show definite signs of "simmering down. M On the last night of the schedule, the team of Ted Adams and Dick Towner slammed ihe title door by winning all six points.

While the leaders were being whitewashed, the team of Bruce Pester and Walt Blackwell played their best golf of the year and swept into the top spot by taking all six points f rom Dutch Engelhardt and Bill Sturgis. The win of Pester and Blackwell was a very popular one, and should give encouragement to any new golfers who are a little reluctantabout joiningup in the league next year. CLOSE THURSDAY RACE FINDS WESTPHAL-BROOKMEYER ON TOP The Thursday night group also enjoyed a slam-bang affair and also had six teams battling down to the wire for the league title. This league also produced a darkhorse winner when the team of Roger Westphal and Bill. Brookmeyer came through on the last night to end up on top of the heap with a one - point margin over Jim Thompson and "Smokey" Azary. Westphal and Brookmeyer' s winning of the title again proved that the team that can show steady improvement is the one that has the best chance of walking off with the highest honor s. In this league there was only a five point spread between the top six teams. It seems that this is ampie proof that the new system introduced this year was a good thing for the entire league. BRAVIS-AMBRAZEVICH WALK OFF WITH NIGHT SHIFT TITLE The combination of Joe Bravis and Bill Ambrazevich showed winning colors after the second week of play. Although the second-place team of Ron Kaufman and Ed Selent threatened all season, the leaders couldn't be toppled. Coming in a close third, Torn Mitchell and Nick Bandrofchak helped make this year one of the most exciting and successful for the entire league. FIELD DA Y HIGHLIGHTS SEASON Highlight of the golfing season again this year was the Argus Field Day which was held at the Plymouth Country Club on August 8. Chairman Ken Kaufman of the Special

Events Committee did a splendid job of arranging the e vent that was very much joyed by the entire membership. The sharp nine holes of golf --the putting ■"' contest, and the delicious buffet dinner

will long be remembered as a very fitting climax to this golfing season.

Field Day Ends Men's Golfing Season

Argus Golfers Take City Titles

Persistence paid off for Bill Ambrazevich of the Tool Room, night shift, when he won the Optimist Club's hole-in-one tournament at the Municipal Golf Course August 12. After 29 tries with his No. 5 iron, he finally landed a ball just 2 feet 10 inches f rom the hole -- the closest anyone came in the two-day competition. In winning the men's división of the city - wide contest, Bill also walked off with the $50 first prize.

Liz Clapham Earns Medalist Honors

Liz Clapham posted a sizzling 96 at the University Golf Course to win the women's city Medalist title July 31. Liz, who works in Personnel, earned the honors in the qualifying round of the Women's City Tournament. A birdie 3 comeback on the 8th hole after taking 9 shots on the 7th put her in a contendingpositionamong the 50 18-hole competitors. A steady game from then on sent her to the head of the championship flight. She went on to win her first match from Jo Seward 2-1, bef ore going down 4-3 in her play with Evie Carver. Besides the title, Liz received an engraved silver tray.

Night Shift Bowlers Organize Six Teams

Mcclune Gets A Birdie... And Birdie Gets Mcclune

One recent Thursday night, Chuck McClune found out that turnaboutTs fair play! Chuck, Bill Courtright, Héctor Haas, and Dick Leggett were out for their weekly league match. McClune -- first to tee up on the 9thhole, lambasted his ball straight into some high tensión wires lacing the side of the cour se. His ball hit a bird perched on the wires, and bird and ball feil to the ground. The rest teed off, finally moving up to the bird they figured dead. When they reached it, however, the stunned bird darted up, veering in a crazy circle that swung around the startled men and finally ended with a wild peck - in the seat of Chuck' s pants!

Manager "Casey" O'Donnell, Coach "Columbia Lou" Belleau, and all the members of this yearfs softball team have covered themselves with glory for their splendid play this past season. It is by far the best team that has represented Argus in the last ten years. It is doubtful if the championship teams of the distant past could have held their own with this yearfs outstanding array of talent. The Argus nine started out slowly, and through the first half of the schedule, our team was in the middle of the league Ts standings. Nelson Sparks Victory Realizing that the final half of the season would make or break his team 's bid for the league title, O'Donnell signed Gay Ie Nelson to help Cal Haywood with the pitching chores. Gayle quickly rounded into form, and was the spark the team needed to drive them to the top of the heap. In short order this star twirler gained the reputation as the best moundsman of the entire league. Inspired by Gayle's pitching, the Argus entry started a slow but certain climb to the top. This goal

was reached the last night of the regular schedule and the season ended with our team and Union Bar deadlocked for the league leadership. Team Enters District Play The Argus Team continued to play sparkling ball during the district tournament and earned the right to play the finals in Manchester. Argus drew Grass Lake in this opening encounter and this game was one of the best played games of the season. The two teams battled through the first six innings with the score deadlocked at one run. In the bottom of the seventh, the Grass Lake entry Bhoved over the run givingthem a very hard-earned victory and advancing them to the finals of the district. The play -off August 31 for the city Recreational League title was an anti-climax and the Argus boys turned the game over to Union Bar 17-5. Congratulations to the Argus team for their play this year. The year's results gave promise of even better things to come, and we can all be assured that our entry in the leagues for the next few years will be potent ones.

Clip and save in Loóse Leaf T.'ocebook to bui ld a Photo Manual THE C 3 CAMERA i OUnlike the model "75, M described in the last issue, the C-3 is not , a fixed focus camera, and it is not necessary to use close-up lens ( ment to take close-up pie tures. t The C-3 has an infinite number of lens openings, of which six are marked on the front with the symbol "f" which denotes lens opening. The range of marked f openings is f rom f 16 to f3. 5. The largest number, f16, is the smallest opening. As the f number gets smaller, the ing gets bigger. On the C-3, as on all cameras, each f opening Iets in ■ twice as much light as the previous smaller opening. Thus, f 11 is twice ■ the size of f16, f8 is twice the size of fll, etc. The exception to this , on the C-3 is that f3.5 is only 12 a stop larger than f4. , The shutter speeds are also in steps which doublé the amount of t light passing through and we have a range from 110 second to 1300. Again there is an exception as the 1300 speed is only 12 speed faster 1 than the 1200. 1 Therefore, on the C-3 we have one end of the range, 110 at f3.5, i which Iets in 720 times as much light as 1300 at f 16. This more than i covers the amateur range of picture taking. ' , With the C-3, it is also possible to take "time" exposures, that is, i , exposures longer than the 110 marked on the speed ring. This is done , by turning the I. B. button from I. to B. When set on B the shutter , mains open as long as the release button is held down. The B, or bulb , O setting, has no connection with flash bulbs. , The picture -taking lens may be focused from infinity to 3 f eet, and 1 even c loser than that by using diopter lens. The range finder is coupled ■ to the focusing thread of the lens, and by lining up the two half images in the range finder your lens is in exact focus. ' i Here is some basic information which you can cut out and glue to the ■ t back of your C-3 camera or carrying case. The camera is a very ■ , versatile unit. To get the most out of it, you should not limit it to the ■ settings listed here, but should learn all you can about its use. It is , important to have the shutter speed set as recommended for the different , flash bulbs. , Distance in Feet Argus C-3 I Distance in Feet I , with #5 - #25 [Lens Openings with SM-SF ( 1 et I Super I Plus I I Plus Super Set 1 Speed xx x chrome A _ enrome A x xx Speed 1 at 12-l2ft. 9 ft.
