Reviewing Argus Progress

There has been an increasing amount of publicity lately about the guar anteed annual wage . This subj eet is one which is very commonly misunderstood, since no one has really explained the meaning of "guaranteed annual wage." The term gives the impression that everyone-wh ether they were working or not- would get their regular paycheck 52 weeks a year. Actually such plans are generally limit - ed to a certain number of weeks a year, to certain groups of employees, and to some percentage of regular wages. One such plan comprehends only a guarantee of 40 hours pay for any week in which a person reports for work. These guaranteed annual wage plans are in reality an extensión of our present unemployment compensation system. In our state, unemployment benefits range up to $42 per week for a maximum period of 26 weeks. These benefits are among the highest of the states. As you know, the State Unemployment Compensation Fund is complete - ly paid for by employers. Since the Fund was first started in 1937, Argus contributions have totaled over half a million dollars. During the past two years Argus has contributed

more than $108,000. As you can see, the principie of providing compensation for employees out of work because of layoffs is certainly not new. The real goal, of course, is to increase the stability of employment. Stabilizing our workforce is desirable f rom two distinct standpoints. First, really steady employment is a basic requirement of a good place to work. But steady employment is also important for a purely dollars and cents business standpoint. When any reduction in the workforce occurs, a number of people are transferred to different jobs. Besides the expense required to train these people intheir new duties, the operations they are learning are just not up to normal efficiency. Training costs are considerable, especially when some jobs require several months to learn. These same costs are incurred again when production is increased and both job changes and new people are required to meet higher production levéis. ARGUS EMPLOYMENT PROVE S STABLE We have taken definite steps to reduce the variations in the number of employees. In spite of the fact

that we are in a luxury business which has a very sharp seasonal variation of sales, we have accomplished a remarkable degree of stability in our employment . As you know, we worked a considerable amount of over time du ring the peak production period early last f all. Instead of calling in many extra employees for our pre-Christmas rush period, we worked overtime to help meet the sales demand and reduce the adjustments after the Christmas sales period ended. MARCH PRODUCTION GR E AT ER THAN SALES Our sales during the peak months of the fall season are about twice as much as sales during the months of January, February, and March. In this month of March, which is proving to be a reasonably good sales month, we are still manufacturing more cameras than we are selling. In other words, we are storing cameras in the warehouse to be used in later months when sales traditionally piek up. The success of this program is evident when you realize that our employment has dropped only about 7-12% while sales are down approximately 50% from the peak periods. The combination of the stability of employment we have created ourselves, plus the protectiori provided by State Unemployment Compensation, which is paid for from a company finances fund, has created an over -all stability of earnings which illustrate the progress made in this area.

Argus Blood Donors Needed This Month

March 22 and 23 are the scheduled Argus blood donor days for the Ann Arbor Industrial Blood Bank. 200 Argus donors will be needed at the Red Cross mobile unit stationed at the VFW Club on Liberty Street. A Red Cross station wagon will be on hand to piek up donors at Argus, take them to the mobile unit and return. Every employee is reminded that

unless he has signed up to dónate blood with the Industrial Blood Bank, he will not be eligible to receive blood, f ree of charge, should he or any member of his family need it.

Red Cross Receives $2,876 From Argus

$2,876.00 contributed by Argus employees and the Company during last October's fund-raising campaign was turned over to the American Red Cross this month during the 1955 organizationTs annual drive for funds. Last October, when Argus conducted its once-a-year fund-raising campaign for combined Community Chest- Red Cross purposes, employees donated $1,438.00 to the Red Cross. The Company matched employee contributions dollar for dollar to make the $2,876.00 total. This year's Argus Red Cross contribution exceeds last yearTs total of $2,828.00 by $48.

"10 O'clock Scholars" Aren't Popular At Argus

Dependability is an outstanding characteristic of employees in almost every department at Argus according to absence and tardy reports which have been pouring into the Personnel Department since the story about Bob Barsantee, Sr. 's excellent record appeared in last month's "Argus Eyes. " Among those whose records are particularly outstanding are John Rumsey, Lens Blocking and Chuck Ceronsky, Machine Shop. Any other ñames f rom your department?

You Asked Andy

The first two questions to answer this month are on the same subject, the electric clocks in the Machine Shop. (Mmm... Tve always wondered where the clock-watchers in the Company hide out!)

Clocks in the Machine Shop MJust wondering if it's possible that the clocks in the Machine Shop could be moved below the newly-installed pipes so that we could see them?" Your suggestion has been given to the Machine Shop Supervisión who are investigating the clock problem now to see whether or not it will be possible to move them. Flag Over Plant II Two questions came in on this subject, too. MHave you taken a look at the flag we are flying over Plant n?" I sur e did- as soon as I got this question, and Gene Rossbach took a look, too. Seems that the red and white stripes bore an unpatriotic tear. WeTve tried both cotton and nylon flag fabrics and neither of them has been able to stand up against stiff Ann Arbor winds. A new flag will be ordered for Plant II. However, since the current March winds will probably tear a new one into shreds in no time flat also, the new flag may not get the chance to fly until milder breezes are with us. Receiving Salaried Pay Checks Every Other Week "Why canTt the employees who are on salary be paid every other Friday." I agree that it would be a fine idea. From what I hear about salaried employees stretching their checks from payday to payday, I'm beginning to think those checks are made of rubber! However, the general procedure is to pay employees either by the week or month, and it's customary for employees whose salary is computed on the monthly basis to be paid the 15th and 3Oth. The answer to your question, I guess, is that juggling your own individual budget is a lot more simple than juggling the entire payroll system. Report on Scholarship Students MHow about a report on our scholarship students? We hear one is doing us (Argus) proud." I checked this one with Mrs . Radf ord who said that all scholastic reports on these students go directly to the University Committee on Scholarships, not to Argus. We'll have to check with that office to see whether or not this type of information can be released- and with the students to see whether they want their grades publicized. Anyway, I know everyone will be happy to hear that our kids are doing well.

13 Employees Make Suggestions, Win Cash Awards

Mary Justice, Paint Shop, topped the list of Suggestion Awards this month when she received a check for $103.37 for suggesting the elimination of inspection and part of the cleaning process of the focusing screw and nut assembly for the C-3. A check for $100 went to Dick Towner, Machine Shop, for his suggestion that a Bello ws Air F eed be installed on the centerless grinder. Adoption of this idea increased production considerably and also decreased operator fatigue. Cari Toler, Service and Repair, suggested that the Service Department rivet the C-3 and C-4 flaps to the case instead of sewing them on. Cari received $97.52 for his suggestion. The suggestion of Henry Minges, Screw Machine, that the sequence of operations on the winding knob of the C-3be changed increased production, improved the winding knob, and netted Henry $99.72.

Joann Salyer, Paint Shop, waspresented with a check for $44.55 for suggesting that the method of packing the 75 and Super 75 camera backs be changed . Putting this suggestion into operation decreased the number of camera backs rejected because of scratches. Dorothy Wier, Center ing, suggested using 60 -Watt amber bulbs on center ing machines, thereby decreas - ing operator eye fatigue. Dorothy received a check for $20. A check for $17.70 went to Keith Tripp, Blocking, for suggesting a new method of cleaning blocking tools . Gerald Hanley, Blocking, and Henry Ulinder, Machine Shop, each received awards of $15. Awards of $10 wentto Mary Patek, Camera Assembly, Margaret Leslie, Production Engineering, Meivin Ecarius, Blocking, and Peter Opple, Machine Shop.

Scouts Visit Camera Club

Sixteen membersof the Burns Park Girl Scout Brownie Troop #120 and their leader, Mrs. Stuart Maynard, were guests of the Argus Camera Club on February 22. The girls who have been studying photography as part of their group activities, were instructed on darkroom procedure. With the aid of Camera Club members Eddie Sayer, Bob Alian and Wilma Simmons, each Brownie exposed and developed a 4x5 print. These ardent photographers hope to be wearing their Scout Photographer's Merit badge in the near future.

Nordman Makes Sergeant

Doug Nordman, on military leave of absence f rom Receiving, has been promoted to U.S. Army Sergeant. Doug, who expects to be out of the service in May, is in the Quartermaster Corps in Arlington, Virginia.

Get Ready - Set For Spring Photography

Prospects of spring just-aroundthe corner are enough to make any C3, A4 or "75" brighten up like this!

But bef ore you, as an eager photography fan, venture out into this most exciting photo season of the year, there are several points to remember which will help make your spring pictures the best ever. HINTS FOR FLOWER SHOTS If you are planning close-up shots of flowering peach, cherry, or apple boughs, remember that they are most

sparkling when taken with the back light shining through the petals. Increasing the exposure by a full stop for black and white or a stop and a half for color Iets the petalsifted light show brightly on your film. Remember, too, that early spring tree foliage is not heavy. So even in the woodlands, you usually get plenty of snapshot light. Choose your time to catch wild flowers, or your backyard daffodils, in sun slanting f rom about 45 degrees. Your finished flower print or color slide will have more interest if you keep the background as simple as possible or make it indistinct with a wide aperture and carefully measured focusing. The f aster shutter action will also prevent a breeze-blown blossom f rom becoming blurred. Or you can use a large neutral-color card behind the subject to hide distracting details .

CHILDREN AND PETS PHOTOS

No matter whether thesubjects arechildren or animáis, photographing the young presents much the same problems. First, you must get the subject to pose

and then keep him within camera range . K you have time, the easiest solution is to pre-set your camera at the distance you would like to use. Then stroll around that boundary ready to fire. An assistant to inspire the proper reactions f rom the subject can be helpful. To bring interesting expressions to the face of a child or pet, your aide can try surprise. A new toy or the sight of a piece of candy works the same way on a child as a bit of food or a rubber ball does with your pup. Remember, that with your pets, big or small, it's side lighting that shows off their fur to the best advantage.

5 Employees Celebrate Anniversaries

with Argus in March

A Supervisor's Day

The stockholders or owners of a company like Argus look to management to run the business efficiently and profitably. Management, in turn, depends upon supervisory people to translate company policies into day-to-day work which will realize its aims. At Argus, the Supervisor is considered a "spark plugM in the machinery of business because it is his job to work with his people to set production in motion and to keep it moving smoothly. The Supervisor is a combination boss, teacher, friend and interpreter. As a boss, he is responsible for the successful working operations of people in his department. As a teacher, he must train new people for their jobs in his department. As a friend to the people who work for him, he of ten straightens out both personal and job problems and grievances. And as an interpreter, he often speaksfor the employees when they have a message for management and for management when it has a message for the employees. To do and to be all these things, the Supervisor must first have a

sound, technical knowledge of his job. But he must also know and understand people. For although the Supervisor calis the signáis, without the cooperation of people who work with him he would get nowhere . Joe O'Donnell, probably one of the best-known Supervisors at Argus, is now in his 17th year of employment with the Company . Like most Argus Supervisors, Joe acquired the qualifications he needed for his job by working his way up. Between the time he was hired as a radio coil winder when Argus was producing radios in October, 1937, until he became an Inspection Supervisor for cameras and projectors in 1950, Joe worked as a Planning Material Handler, Trouble Shooter and held other inspection jobs. Now, as Supervisor in the Final Inspection Department whichis headed by Eddie Girvan, Joe is one of the many people responsible for the final performance and appearance of our commercial products. How well this department does its work has a very direct bearing on how well our products are received by the public.

Products which do not meet the high standards required are rejected by inspectors on the line. Joe supervises 22 of the commercial production line inspectors and auditors in both plants and plans their work days. He checks inspection equipment and makes minor repairs on it. Occasionally, he helps with actual inspection on the line. As the photographs on the opposite page point out, Joe has a variety of duties to perform, and these duties take him all over Plant I and II. During his progress review, when asked the question that is put to every Supervisor, "What tools, material or assistance can the Company give you to make your job better?" Joe answered, "roller skates!M This answer would probably be an appropriate one for any of the busy Supervisors at Argus. Joe's, like every other Supervisors job at Argus, is a responsible one. It's one of the jobs that the Company considers most important in keeping our business running smoothly .

From Copper To Cash

Enameling on copper has long been a favorite hobby for many employees at Argus. Now this fascinating pastime has been built into a jewelry "business" by the Argus -sponsor ed Junior Achievement group. Doublé "A" Enterprises, the same group of high school boys and girls that made ash trays from rejected reflectors and sold them at Argus earlier this winter, has tranen ed into copper enameling to produce earrings, pins, cuff links and tie pins. Argus men who helped the boys and girls manufacture the ash trays have continu ed as advisers in the jewelry business. They are: Ginny Lau, Ralph Parsons, Bob Cuny, Dave Oughton, Wes Donaldson, and Johnny Johnson. ' Sue Rau (Personnel) who does copper enameling

as a hobby, is the jewelry consultant for the group. Last fall, Doublé "A" Enterprises formed their own corporation, sold stock, rented production space and began paying salaries in order to recréate as faithfully as possible the same conditions under which real business operates. Business and manufacturing offices are in downtown Ann Arbor. Employees who are interested inpurchasing the jewelry may contact any of the advisers listed above. Pins, earrings, tie pins, and cuff links sell for $1.00 each.

February 21, 1955 Mr. Thomas Spitier Argus Rameras, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Dear Mr. Spitier: As members of the Doublé "A" Enterprises, we wish to thankyou and Argus Cameras, Inc. for the sponsorship of our Junior Achievement Company this year. We appreciate the opportunity to learn about the operation of a business, and have enjoyed working with our advisers this year. The advisers know how we feel, but we are wondering if you would help us thank all the other members of your company. In order to show our appreciation to all your employees we are wondering if you would publish this letter in Argus Eyes. Sincerely yours, Deanne Duford Secretary of the company

Florida Ranks High As Vacation Spot

ley winds in Ann Arbor started the annual trek of Argus people southward last month, most of them toward the balmy breezes of Florida. Ruth Beekman, Sales, spent her two-weeks-with-pay in Clearwater, Florida, where she photographed Jack Benny (with her Argus "75") on the golf course. While visiting the Florida Cypress Gardens, Ruth carne upon those familiar Michigan blue and gold banners waving for a University of Michigan reunión, engineering class of 1907! Marshall Quinn, Accounting, and Cari Heselschwerdt, Receiving Inspection, chose Miamiand Fort Myers Beach, Florida, as their vacation spot. Deep-sea fishing was a favorite activity for both. Margar et Hardy and Donna Bisbee, both of Purchasing, covered Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg and Nassau, Bahama Islands, on their Florida trip. Basking in the sun and sightseeing filled their days. Kendall, Florida, was the vacation spot for Jim Brinkerhof f, Factory Manager, his wife, Marge, and two children. The Brinkerhoffs spent their vacation with Jim 's grandfather who is a retired professor from the University of Miami. Ethel Huffman, Paint Shop, f lew to Florida last month to spend two weeks in Miami, one week in Sarasota.

Sports Review

The Argus team of Wilfred Bonnewell, John Sartori, Walt Bartell, Mike and Al Terry, Bill Miller with Meivin Quackenbush and Lloyd Ussery as subs has again cinched first place in the Red Arrow Archery League. This is two straight first place titles for this team and would probably be the third except that they have only been in the league two years. For this victory, each team member and Argus as sponsor getsatrophy prize. The remaining Archery shoot-off of the season will be between the four leagues in this area. If the Argus team comes away with top honors in this match as they did last

Men's Bowling

Beginning at 6:45 p.m. every Friday night from September 10 to April 29, the 80-member-strong Argus Men's Bowling League takes over all but the cash register at the Huron Lanes Bowling Alley . Statistically, somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 bowling balls are sent flying down the alley s on any given league night. For this privilege, these men pay in a total of $4,480.00 over the 32-week season. Most of the money is absorbed by the cost of using the facilities . The other is divided up into prize money at the end of the season. Reviewing the season' s standings, I find that it has been a fairly close race from the very beginning and there is little reason to believe that this will change much in the remaining seven weeks of the season. Presently there are only 23 points separating the first and last place teams. In view of the fact that there are totally 16 teams, this is pretty close. At one time, this spread was only 13 points. Even now, every

Women's Bowling

Following the Men's League on Friday night is the Argus Women's League. These girls are on the last leg of their first season. Numerically, they are small, but this just makes the competitionthat much hotter. The Arg-Eyes who have led the league most of the way have gradually pulled away f rom the others and are enjoying a 12-12 point lead

year, once again we'll have the top group of sharpshooting archers in this area in our midst. Our other team which competes in thenewly-formed Gold Arrow League is having a little trouble in their first season. Team captain, Jim Sieloff, said that they are presently in last place and probably will find it difficult to evacúate this position. Their consistency f rom night to night hasn't been too good and is probably the reason they are not doing as well as they would like. As the old saying goes, "Maybe next year" for these fellows. team has a mathematical chance of winning . March 4th witnessed the position night which means that the first place team bowls against the second place team, the third place team against fourth place and so on down the line. As a result, the first place very Thirsty Five pulled 6-12 points ahead of the rest and in doing so knocked the Tool Room out of second place. Lens Tool moved into second place by handing the Tabulators the short end of a 3 to 1 score, but this was not severe enough to knock the Tabs out of fourth place. I see that my early season prediction about the New Products team has proved correct. Team captain, Bob Gramprie, tells me that seven weeks is just about what they need to haul down first place. However, Ed Selent, Jack Cummings, Bill Allen, Dick Leggett and Les Schwanbeck who make up the very Thirsty Five teil me this can't possibly be done because they already have the first-place prize money spent. Prediction: none. over their nearest rival, the Ten Pins. Strung out behind them are the Argus-Etts, the Jiv'n Five, Service and the Lucky Strikes . Rosie Smith has the high single game of the season with a very neat 213. She is followed closelyby Clara Robinson with a 211 mark. High team single game belongs to the Ten Pins.

Gloria Wood, Engineering, wishes to thank everyone who sent her flowers, cards and gifts while she was in the hospital recently.
