The fiscal year ended July 31, and we are now waiting for the final ac-counting from our auditors. From preliminary reports, our sales will bewell over the $19,000,000 mark--indicating a very satisfactory year.

Members of our profit-sharing plan will be glad to know that the fiscalyear has been a good one for them. The company's contribution to the fundwill be larger than ever before.

PRODUCTION UP FOR CHRISTMAS DEMANDAs you know, the photographic industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

The pre-Christmas season is particularly active. We are entering that sea-son with a substantial back-order, which means that we have more orders tofill than we have products available. To meet them and to prepare for anactive Fall, we have felt it necessary to increase production on several ofour products. If we didn't make the effort to get extra production, ourcompetitors would fill the demand. This seasonal demand should be metsometime in December, and it seems likely that our production will have tobe reduced somewhat at that time.

The recent hot spell came when it was important for us to keep our pro-duction going. I appreciate the way you all pitched in throughout the un-comfortable weather to make that possible.

SOFTBALL TEAM VICTORY HIGHLIGHTS SUMMERThe big news of the summer has been the way our Softball team came

through to share the city Recreation League title. Joe O'Donnell and LouieBelleau 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 thefishing at our Recreation Area has been especially good this year. From whatI have heard, several of you are turning in entries that will be hard to beatin the Fishing Contest.

EMPLOYEE MEETING SCHEDULEDOn a number of occasions I have had an informal get-together with those

people interested in discussing any problems in connection with their jobs orwith our company in general. For those who would like to chat with me, I'llbe in the cafeteria at 3:30 on Wednesday, September 30. There will becoffee and doughnuts on hand for all who would like them. I look forward tomeeting you there.

ED SLEEZER CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARYEdward E. Sleezer, of the Car-

penter Shop, known throughout theplant for his willing hand and readysmile, celebrates his 20th anni-versary with Argus this month.

Back in 1933, he took on the jobof carpenter, plumber, and electri-cian for International Radio--asArgus was then known--for 25£ anhour. He worked 12 hours a day,seven days a week with every thirdSunday off.

Ed has worked in this building al-most continuously since 1910--longbefore Argus took over.

Following in his father's footstepsas a carpenter, he worked for Michi-gan Furniture Co. from 1910 until itwent bankrupt in 1927. He stayedon to work for the new occupants ofthe same building, until they alsowent bankrupt during the depression.

When International Radio movedinto the plant at 405 S. Fourth, hejoined the young firm. Throughoutthe company's growth from radio andelectronics manufacturer to ArgusCameras, Inc., EdTs services as atop-notch carpenter have been needed.

Ed is a charter member of theProfit-Sharing Fund. He lives with

his wife, Carrie, at 521 S. SeventhSt., where he devotes a good dealof his spare time to his hobby ofgardening.

Community Chest-

Red Cross Drive

Begins Oct. 12The Community Chest drive opens

in Ann Arbor October 12 and willextend through October 23. Againthis year we are combining the RedCross drive with the CommunityChest for the convenience of Argusemployees.

Every one of us benefits in oneway or another from the good workof these two groups. Several of ouremployees have received untold bene-fit from consultation with the FamilyService, a Red Feather Agency.

Many of our children attend PerryNursery School--another Red FeatherAgency maintained for our benefit.

A third Red Feather Agency--theMichigan Children's Aid Society in-vestigates and approves licensing ofboarding homes for our children andfor children to be adopted.

Among the other Red FeatherAgencies are the YMCA, the YWCA,Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, DunbarCenter, Salvation Army, the PublicHealth Nursing Association, and theCommunity Nursing Council. Wecan all point to times when one orseveral of these agencies have en-riched our lives. How well theycan continue their good work de-pends on us.

The Red Cross has made possibleour Industrial Blood Bank which pro-vides blood for ourselves or ourloved ones in any emergency. Dur-ing the recent Flint disaster, ourAnn Arbor Red Cross was on thespot with blood and supplies.

The Red Cross and the CommunityChest need our generous support.Let's do our share by giving onefull day's pay!

Eleven Argus employees with afew dollars to spare each monthhave joined together to become partowners of some of America's larg-est corporations.

Known as the Argus "Bull andBears," they investigate variousstocks, pool their money, and in-vest it in growth companies thathave provided steady dividends overa 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 membersalready own stock in three differ-ent corporations.

Clubs like the "Bull and Bears"have three purposes:

1. To educate members in funda-mental investment principles andtechniques;

2. To follow the growth theoryof investing, on a mutual basis;and

3. To invest regularly and takeadvantage of compound interest.

The "Bull and Bears" meet monthly.Members report on common stockswhich they have analyzed since theprevious meeting. Then decisionsare made on whether to buy or sella stock, or whether to take no ac-tion.

Since the club is interested inmedium and long-term growth rather

than speculative equities, the mem-bers invest their money in growthcompanies that have shown steadydividends over a number of years.

Investment clubs like the "Bull andBears" are springing up all overthe country because they provide away for an individual of averagemeans to invest in good commonstocks.

Paul Haines' Blue Gills--Photo by Wilna Simmons

Two weeks of fishinT - - man, what a life! My bluegills looked pretty good until I saw the catch Paul Hainesgot at Independence.Can anybody top'em?Suggestion Awards

I'm still tusslingwith some of thewhoppers you folksdropped in the ques-tion boxes. Likethe question from ithe Tool Room on jwho is eligible forsuggestion awards.That's been a hotproblem for so long that the committee's applied for ad-mission to the National Association of Suggestion Systems,and our own suggestion rules will be reviewed in thelight of other company's experience. As soon as that'sbeen done, suggestions that have been recently ruled in-eligible for awards will be reconsidered.

Another whopper concerned the pay and effort differ-ence between Plants I and II. I dropped that in Brinker-hoff's lap and it's getting a thorough airing.Safety in the Plant

A long letter from a safety-conscious gal in the Ma-chine Shop pointed up some real hazards in the plant.They're being investigated, and the University's Bureauof Industrial Health has been called in to help.

I've asked Tess Canja to do a follow-up in the ArgusEyes next month on plant safety. In the meantime, safetyideas are sure to win suggestion awards. If you've gotan idea, turn it in!Department 22 Raises

These answers were easier to land:I understand some in Dept.22 got a raise. Why didn't all?

All skilled workers (job classifications 8 and above)got a 10£ increase as a result of changes in automotivelabor contracts. It was a general wage change in theDetroit area, and Argus led the way for Ann Arbor.Rest Room Maintenance

How about a new Kotex machine or fixing the one that' sin the first-floor rest room in Plant II?

My emissary--I was barred from making a personalsurvey--reported that was due to an empty machine.She's also promised to check the machines for me fromtime to time. But if any of you gals don't get yournickel's worth, see Fran Watterworth.New Absence Policy

The new absence policy brought on the question Whydon' t they put up a bulletin about three absences in a 30-day period?

Bill Sturgis was the guy to see. He explained thatthe policy is not intended to create a hardship on any-one but habitual absentees. If you've been absent morethan once in a month, your foreman is to consider yourreasons and explain the policy to you thoroughly, beforeany warning is given.Key Men Meetings

Bob Lewis answered this one:Why is it a picked few widows, divorcees, or single

women are invited to attend the Key (married) Men' s dinnersand recreation trips to ball games, etc. It appearsneither by seniority or set bracket of ability.

Every woman invited, Bob said, holds a supervisoryposition or its equivalent. He added that the Key Menare very married.

That answers seven of 'em--two more still in the pot!One Of you wanted to know: #o all personnel employees

keep and post their time clock cards in their desks as FirstAid nurse rather than punch at clock or are there anexcused few?

The answer's easy. There are an excused few--non-exempt personnel working outside the plant, non-exemptwho travel a good deal, and persons who were recentlytransferred from an exempt status. Fran's the onlyperson so affected in Personnel.Salaried Pay Days

Eight down, 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 prac-tical as yet. It would mean multiplying every monthlysalary by 12, then dividing by 26 instead of 24. Thatwould change our bond deduction, group insurance, andmerit increase set-ups--a big job to tackle. If you bankyour check, why not mail it in? Or if you cash it, trya grocery store. Many, like Wrigley's handle them.Meanwhile, a check is being made to see if the paydayscould fall on other than the 15th and 30th. I'll keepyou posted.

That's all for this month, folks! Keep your questionsrolling. I'll keep on diggin'!

Sport A (Reviewby Babe Peterson

GOLFOnly the completion of the Argus open and

the final play-offs between the leagues' win-ners remain for this year 's golfing season.Interest reached an all-time high this year,with more than 100 Argus employees partici-pating. It was necessary to organize three dif-ferent leagues for the day shift group and an-other for the night shift workers.NEW HANDICAP BASIS WORKS OUT WELL

For the first time, the handicaps werefigured on a 100% basis, and even though theremay have been some wailing . ̂ om the lower handicapplayers, the final results of the league seem to indi-cate that the move may have been a good one. Eachof the three leagues for the day shift group enjoyed theclosest races that we have had since we first organizedthree years ago. In each group, the title was not de-cided until the last match of the schedule had beencompleted.GRIMSTON-EGGLESTON TAKE TUESDAY TITLE

Through the greater part of the season, the combineof Myers and Koch had led the Tuesday league, andseemed to be in the driver 's seat until the last fewweeks of the season. In the meantime, the duo ofGrimston and Eggleston had stayed within striking dis-tance of the leaders, cutting down the margin so thatthe title was decided on the last night when these twogiants crashed head-on. Jack and Morris were equalto the test and proudly walked off the ninth green witha hard-earned victory and the league title.PESTER-BLACKWELL FORGE TO TOP OFWEDNESDAY GROUP

The Wednesday group enjoyed an even more hecticrace with no less than five of the entries having amathematical chance to win or share the title beforethe final round was played. Dick Foster and Ed Adlerhad led the parade most of the year, but in the finalweeks of play, began to show definite signs of "simmer-ing down. M On the last night of the schedule, the teamof Ted Adams and Dick Towner slammed the title doorby winning all six points.

While the leaders were being whitewashed, the teamof Bruce Pester and Walt Blackwell played their bestgolf of the year and swept into the top spot by takingall six points from Dutch Engelhardt and Bill Sturgis.The win of Pester and Blackwell was a very popular one,and should give encouragement to any new golfers whoare a little reluctant about joining up in the league next year.CLOSE THURSDAY RACE FINDSWESTPHAL-BROOKMEYER ON TOP

The Thursday night group also enjoyed a slam-bangaffair and also had six teams battling down to the wirefor the league title. This league also produced a dark-horse winner when the team of Roger Westphal and Bill.Brookmeyer came through on the last night to end up ontop of the heap with a one - point margin over* JimThompson and "Smokey" Azary. Westphal and Brook-meyer's winning of the title again proved that the teamthat can show steady improvement is the one that hasthe best chance of walking off with the highest honors.In this league there was only a five point spread betweenthe top six teams. It seems that this is ample proofthat the new system introduced this year was a goodthing for the entire league.BRAVIS-AMBRAZEVICH WALK OFF WITHNIGHT SHIFT TITLE

The combination of Joe Bravis and Bill Ambrazevichshowed winning colors after the second week of play.Although the second-place team of Ron Kaufman and EdSelent threatened all season, the leaders couldn't betoppled. Coming in a close third, Tom Mitchell andNick Bandrofchak helped make this year one of the mostexciting and successful for the entire league.FIELD DAY HIGHLIGHTS SEASON

Highlight of the golfing season again this year was theArgus Field Day which was held at the Plymouth CountryClub on August 8. Chairman Ken Kaufman of the SpecialEvents Committee did a splendid job of ar -ranging the event that was very much en-joyed by the entire membership. Thesharp nine holes of golf--the putting •" " V v

contest, and the delicious buffet dinnerwill long be remembered as a very fitting climax to thisgolfing season.

And Birdie Gets McClune

One recent Thursday night, ChuckMcClune found out that turnabout'sfair play!

Chuck, Bill Courtright, HectorHaas, and Dick Leggett were outfor their weekly league match.

McClune — first to tee up on the9th hole, lambasted his ball straightinto some high tension wires lacingthe side of the course. His ball hita bird perched on the wires, andbird and ball fell to the ground.

The rest teed off, finally movingup to the bird they figured dead.

When they reached it, however,the stunned bird darted up, veeringin a crazy circle that swung aroundthe startled men and finally endedwith a wild peck — in the seat ofChuck's pants!

SOFTBALL TEAM SHARES CHAMPIONSHIP

BEFORE BOWING IN PLAY-OFF

Belle&u lead learn 7a Victony.

by Babe Peterson

Manager "Casey" O'Donnell, Coach"Columbia Lou" Belleau, and all themembers of this year's softball teamhave covered themselves with gloryfor their splendid play this past sea-son. It is by far the best team thathas represented Argus in the lastten years. It is doubtful if thechampionship teams of the distantpast could have held their own withthis year's outstanding array oftalent.

The Argus nine started out slow-ly, and through the first half of theschedule, our team was in the mid-dle of the league's standings.

Nelson Sparks VictoryRealizing that the final half of the

season would make or break histeam's bid for the league title,O'Donnell signed Gayle Nelson tohelp Cal Haywood with the pitchingchores. Gayle quickly rounded intoform, and was the spark the teamneeded to drive them to the top ofthe heap. In short order this startwirler gained the reputation as thebest moundsman of the entire league.

Inspired by Gayle's pitching, theArgus entry started a slow but cer-tain climb to the top. This goal

was reached the last night of theregular schedule and the seasonended with our team and Union Bardeadlocked for the league leadership.

Team Enters District PlayThe Argus Team continued to play

sparkling ball during the districttournament and earned the right toplay the finals in Manchester.

Argus drew Grass Lake in thisopening encounter and this game wasone of the best played games of theseason. The two teams battledthrough the first six innings with thescore deadlocked at one run. In thebottom of the seventh, the Grass Lakeentry shoved over the run giving thema very hard-earned victory and ad-vancing them to the finals of thedistrict.

The play-off August 31 for thecity Recreational League title wasan anti-climax and the Argus boysturned the game over to Union Bar17-5.

Congratulations to the Argus teamfor their play this year. The year'sresults gave promise of even betterthings to come, and we can all beassured that our entry in the leaguesfor the next few years will be potentones.

THE C 3 CAMERAUnlike 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 attach-ment to take close-up pictures.

The C-3 has an infinite number of lens openings, of which six aremarked on the front with the symbol "f" which denotes lens opening. Therange of marked f openings is from fl6 to f3. 5. The largest number,fl6, is the smallest opening. As the f number gets smaller, the open-ing gets bigger. On the C-3, as on all cameras, each f opening lets intwice as much light as the previous smaller opening. Thus, f l l is twicethe size of fl6, f8 is twice the size of f l l , etc. The exception to thison the C-3 is that f3.5 is only 1/2 a stop larger than f4.

The shutter speeds are also in steps which double the amount oflight passing through and we have a range from 1/10 second to 1/300.Again there is an exception as the 1/300 speed is only 1/2 speed fasterthan the 1/200.

Therefore, on the C-3 we have one end of the range, 1/10 at f3.5,which lets in 720 times as much light as 1/300 at f 16. This more thancovers the amateur range of picture taking.

With the C-3, it is also possible to take "time" exposures, that is,exposures longer than the 1/10 marked on the speed ring. This is doneby turning the I. B. button from I. to B. When set on B the shutter re-mains open as long as the release button is held down. The B, or bulbsetting, has no connection with flash bulbs.

The picture-taking lens may be focused from infinity to 3 feet, andeven closer than that by using diopter lens. The range finder is coupledto the focusing thread of the lens, and by lining up the two half imagesin the range finder your lens is in exact focus.

Here is some basic information which you can cut out and glue to theback of your C-3 camera or carrying case. The camera is a veryversatile unit. To get the most out of it, you should not limit it to thesettings listed here, but should learn all you can about its use. It isimportant to have the shutter speed set as recommended for the differentflash bulbs.
