A CRY FOR HELP Any office can be a mighty unpleasant place to work if your fellow workers aren't able to shoulder their share of the daily routine and still remain agreeable companions. The people you work with are vital factors in both your own happiness and the successful achievement of the company's many goals. If you know of someone who you feel is especially qualified (both as a person whom it's fun to know and as a capable, skilled worker) to fill a job at NBC, you'd be doing us all a good turn by recommending that person to the Personnel Office. All you have to do is call Paul Ross, extension 363, and if an opening is available or in prospect, he'll be glad to arrange an interview. Most job openings for women fall in the clerk-typist and secretarial categories, those for men in the technical field and in Guest Relations. By bringing qualified people to the attention of Personnel you'll be doing a favor all around — to the applicant, to the company, and to yourself. NEW RCA RETIREMENT PLAN CERTIFICATES ISSUED A change was made in the RCA Retirement Plan on December l, 1950 to provide for a different method of accumulating the money to pay retirement benefits. The change did not alter in any way either the contributions made by Retirement Plan members or payments made upon retirement. However, it did require the company to enter a new agreement with the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This necessitated the issuance of new certificates and new Retirement Plan booklets setting for the details of the plan as amended. These items, together with a lette of explanation, made up a package which was distributed to Plan membe in September. For employees who were members of the plan prior to December 1, 1951, a rider was included to be attached to the ce rti fi caV previously issued by Equitable. These certificates should be retained 1 along with the new booklet which offers a source of explanation about your retirement plan.
