OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
JaboKing showed me this
thing, and it makes pretty
good sense. I don’t know how
many of you employ other
folks, but whether you do or
not, I’m sure you can appreci
ate the wisdom herein:
In Singapore a Chinese
banker framed these “T e n
Commandments” for his em
ployees. While not represent
ative of Twentieth Century
America’s way cf living, some
are worth remembering:
1. Don’t lie, it wastes my
time and yours. I am sure to
catch you in the end.
2. Watch your work and
not the clock. A long day’s
work makes a long day short,
and a short day’s work makes
my face long.
3. Give me more than I ex
pect, and I will pay you more
than you expect- I can afford
to increase your pay if you
increase my profits.
4. Keep out of debt. You
owe so much to yourself that
you cannot afford to owe any
body else.
5. Dishonesty is never an
accident.
6. Mind your own business,
and in time you will have a
business of your own to mind.
7. Don’t do anything here
that hurts your self-respect.
The employee who is capable
cif stealing for me is capable
of stealing from me-
8. It’s none of my business
what you do at night, but if
dissipatiomaffecte what you
do the next day you will last
half as long as you hope.
9. Don’t tell me what I
would like to hear, but what
I ought to hear. I don’t want
a valet for my vanity, but for
my money.
10. Don’t kick if I kick. If
you are worth correcting you
are worth keeping.
That’s it. The thoughts ex
pressed may seem a bit old
timey, but there are still a
few folks around who prac
tice the “commandments” as
listed here. If you’re fortun
ate enough to know one, pat
him on the back now, for his
is a vanishing breed-
The Democrats are about
to have their reunion and de
cide who’ll be their candidate
for president, vice president,
and what sort of platform
those candidates will stand
on while running, a darn neat
trick, if you stop and think
about it.
It looks from like Lyndon
B. Johnson will be the candi
date for president, no matter
what you may hear at the
coffee shop. As for a plat
form, Lyndon has been mov
ing so fast and doing so much
since he’s been in there, I
don’t know anything left to
promise. This may sound like
a compliment to LBJ, but it’s
more li ;e a reflection that a
politick n who does things is
always in danger of working
himself out of issues.
Poor Lyndon. The South
can’t trust him because of
what he’s already done, and
the rest of the country is
suspicious of what he might
do. That doesn’t leave much
of a nest egg, but Lyndon
won’t need much.
Thanks to Finley Perry, I
' now have a can of Gold Water
that is the ‘right drink for
the conservative taste,’ and
I’m afraid to taste it. What
if I don’t like it!

CONDUIT PIAnT GETS
$2.1 MILLION LOAN
A $2.1 million industrial
loan to the Jackson Tubing
and Conduit Corporation of
Bainbridge to establish a
plant in Early County, four
miles north of US. 84 on the
Chattahoochee River, has
been approved by the Area
Development Authority i n
Washington.
Approval of the loan means
a “go ahead” on plans for the
mill that will cost approxi
mately $3.25 million. ARA fi
nancing runs for 20 years at
an annual interest rate of
four percent.
“Red” Jackson says the
next step will be the advertis
ing for bids on the construc
tion of the plant, and other
legal odds and ends. He says
a request for bids should be
ready within the next thirty
days, and he hopes the actual
construction can begin this
year. It will take a year to
complete the construction, he
said.
Jackson says the plant will
employ 75 people in its be
ginning of operations and will
eventually employ a maxi
mum of 285 people. He said a
training school will be estab
lished to prepare workers for
their duties.
Jackson has been in the
electrical contracting and con
struction business in Bain
bridge since 1*945. His corpor
ation will furnish of
the construction cost, plus
working capital. Others in
volved wiH be General Elect
ric Credit Corporation lending
$650,000, and the Early Coun
ty Redevelopment Corpora
tion, lending $325,000.
