Craig Smith, president of our company, for the Avondale Sun. We believe you will agree that a job with Avondale has much to offer when you are ready to enter the business world.) A job with Avondale is a special job. The people who do these jobs are special people. There is no doubt in my mind as to the accuracy of both of these statements. These .'ire some of the reasons. I list the first three in the order of their importance: (1) Every member of our Retirement Trust has a vested interest in his or her job. This means that the individual cannot be involuntarily and permanently separated without adequate and provable cause. I am the one who must finally say whether the cause is adequate and provable. We also have an established and workable procedure which permits and encourages any individual who thinks he has been treated unfairly to bring the matter to my attention. It has been my policy in the past, and I will continue in the future, to resolve all reasonable doubt in favor of the individual. We have a degree of job security here second to none. (2) We have agreed to pay the “going wage’’ in the industry for each job. After we have paid the going wage and met the other expenses of doing business, we set aside 5 per cent on the stockholders’ investment. Anything we earn above 5 per cent, we divide half and half between the company and the members of the Retirement Trust. The part of our profits which has gone to members of the Retirement Trust since our profit-sharing plan started totals $41,463,039, not counting the profit-sharing distribution which will be made for our year which will end August 31. In most years, this plan has resulted in our individual earnings being higher than those of any other textile employees in the world. (3) We have a pension plan which provides that those persons who have been with the company twenty continuous years or longer and who are still with the company when they reach age sixty-five can retire on 50 per cent of their ending pay, including basic Social Security and the annuity purchased by our deferred profit-sharing fund. Most hourly paid individuals who retire under this program will get more than 50 per cent. If we can continue to add to our deferred profit-sharing fund, they will get substantially more. As long as the pension plan is in effect, they cannot get less than 50 per cent unless they choose a plan that may make some payment to their beneficiaries or unless they choose early retirement. (4) We have a vacation-with-pay program which provides that Retirement Trust members with 1 service unit through 3 service units receive 2 per cent of their total earnings as vacation pay. Members with 4 service units through 18 service units receive 4 per cent. Members with 19 or more service units receive 6 per cent. This plan applies to hourly paid personnel only. Those on the salary roll receive an equivalent amount of time off. (5) Avondale has six paid holidays for members of the Retirement Trust. These are the individual’s birthday, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. (6) Avondale Retirement Trust members receive full pay while serving on a jury, without deduction for the jury pay. (7) Avondale has a group hospital and surgical insurance policy, a substantial part of the expense of which is paid by the company. (8) The various mills close at staggered times during the summer so that the largest number of people may use Camp Helen, near Panama City on the Gulf coast. The charge that is made for the use of the camp covers a part of the expense of operation.
