You are in the group that pays. Maybe you had not thought of it this way, but it is a fact: You pay your taxes in hours, days and weeks of working time on your job. You can figure it out for yourself. Just take the total amount of your own 1957 tax payments and divide thaL figure by your hourly pay rate. The result will be the actual number of hours you worked at Sherwin-Williams to produce your share of Federal Gov ernment payouts. Would you think that you had to work as much as six full weeks out of each working year and see every penny of your earnings for that pe riod diverted to the Federal Govern ment? Well, that's about pmr for Sherwin-Williams employees. With some it's more, with others it's less. You work a lull year and wind up with approximately ten months' pay to show for it. Whether that's too much, too lit tle, or just about right is something you can decide for yourself. But it's your personal labor and sacrifice that provides a 74 billion dollar budget. Since your own take-home pay is so directly affected, you have a natural right to your own say in Government spending. That's where You come in.

To many people it will mean no more traffic lights or traffic tie ups between Michigan Avenue and 61st Street and the Indiana state line. To many others it heralds the completion of a connect ing link between the heart of the city of Chicago and the Hast Coast, a dis tance of almost 1,000 miles of express highway without a single stop light or cross traffic. A huge undertaking, the Skyway has a total length of seven and three quarter miles, with over half of this distance on elevated steel structures, it required 57,500 tons of steel. The cost of the project was $101,000,000. It has fully automatic toll collection for passenger cars, trucks, and buses. Speed limits on the Skyway range from 45 mph to 60 niph. Driving time to the state line is only 10 minutes compared with 50 minutes through traffic. The Sherwin-Williams Company had an inqiortant part in the construc tion of the Calumet Skyway 'foil Bridge. Of the 57,500 tons of steel given two coats of aluminum paint, 23,959 tons were painted with our product. To date, 13,750 gallons of alu minum paint have been purchased from us. A1 Lesko, Fonnulator, and Fred Brown, Croup Leader, of the Chicago Varnish Lalioratory, worked very closely with Glenn Stetson and A. V'. Higgins of che Western Transporta tion Sales Zone. Through their con stant tests in che laboratory and in the field, the rigid specifications es tablished by the American Association of State Highway Officials was main tained. The success of our contribu tion, according to Mr. Lesko and Mr. Stetson, was in a large measure due to the exceptional hacking they re ceived from the factory personnel who were responsible for scheduling deliv eries ami all quality controls. When driving in the area of the Skyway you may wish to see the spe cific areas where your Company's protective coatings were used. They include: the Michigan Avenue and Indiana Avenue ramps; East End Ave.; Stony Island Ave. (bridge only); 79th Street; Trestle and Struction lielwecn Dante Ave. and 79th Street; 94Lh Street to 97th Street; and from the bridge at 100th Street to the State line. This is just another example of how Shcrwin-Willianis' products beautify, protect and modernize our communi ty.

Stan Gilmore, president of the Employees' Aid Association, reports that approximately $1,200 was taken in from ticket sales. This money will he used during the coming year for emergency aid to employees in need.

(A dodo was a large clumsy bird, now extinct, btcaut* it could not cope with its environment. Today, o Dodo is a term often used in referring to people who do silly, foolish things that get them into trouble.) Man was made to walk on two feet but sometimes he seems to have diffi culty staying on them. When his feet leave the floor unexjiectedlv, it's called a fall. Kails are caused by two types of "Dodos". The first tyj>e (see if you recognize him) is the fellow who causes falls for himself. For example, he uses a drum or five-gallon pail, or a five-gallon pail on top of a drum, for a ladder, fie uses a broken ladder because die job will take only a couple of minutes and the ladder will last that long. Why get a ladder when he can climb up on the front of a fourwheel truck (the ladder's too far away, anyway) ? The "Dodo" is one who rides n four-wheel truck as it's being pulled by a tractor (because it's easier than walking and is not as fast). The "Dodo" is die man who uses the forks of a lift truck for a plat form to do his work. He's the fellow who runs down the steps, taking three at a time, and never thinks of using the handrail . . . just so he can see that noontime ball game (even if he has to wait five minutes for the game to start, he's there first). The other kind of ``Dodo'' is the one who causes falls for the other fellow. The filler (spelled s-p-i-i-i-e-r), who doesn't know the difference between a can and the floor, and really doesn't care, or the oiler who feels the extra couple of squirts won't hurt (What if it docs leak on the floor?), are oi tills species. The "Dodo" is the man who throws rubbish on the floor but never picks it up. He leaves the empty pallet in the aisleway so someone can fall over it. (He took the material off it; do you want him to do everything!) Then we have the worker who re moves all the obsolete pipe, wire, etc., and leaves it where it falls. (The requisition only called for tearing it out, didn't it?) Lot's not forget the one that leaves the dock plate right in the middle of the dork. (Thats a killer at night.) Then we have the "bird" that leaves a two-wheel truck crossways in the aisle. When someone falls over it, he says: "Why don't you look where you're going?" These two types of "Dodos" have recently shown up in great numbers throughout the plant! By each one of us giving our personal attention to these silly and foolish acts, we can make "Dodo" an extinct bird in pur plant. Paisttv A Bruit! Pag* Nine 0007-SWP-000104023 it V-.
