Blessed be the Christmas tie that binds "We're having this sales meeting !o discuss the future of Ties, Inc " Sales Vice President Buck Stopp an- nounced as he looked over his 8- member sales staff. "For us, Black l)ecembei- has saved the company in the past but black is getting grayer every year." "Yah," agreed Stu Johner, "No- body is wearing neckties anymore except at funerals." "Even that has changed," added ~rmit Stomstead. "The only person raring a tie at a funeral is doing so cause he doesn't get to speak for ]mself." "1 remember the funeral when fuff Jorgy was honored with a neck- iie," noted Bert Berger. "He never ~,orc a tie in his whole life and then 'hey put one on him at his going ,ray event. When he gets on the ~4her side, the first thing he's going 1 7 do is get that necktie off." "If it weren't for Christmas gift- iag, we would have been bankrupt ?ears ago," mourned Stu. "My com- missions have been so low that I am now eligible for food stamps." "Christmas is our big season, ,aainly because when people can't ~tlink of a decent gift they grab a ,~ecktie," added Kermit. "I get at least two ties every Christmas. My tie rack ~s crammed." "I get a lot of ties, too," Andy :;torm added. "But I regift them. The President does it so it must be okay." "My thrift store refuses to take aeckties," observed Bert. "They said N. D. Matters By Lloyd Omdahl their customers are not the necktie- wearing kind." "Neckties have become the zuc- chinis of December", Vice President Buck lamented as a tear ran own his cheek. "We need to swing with the mar- ket and remake the product," pro- posed Andy. "Let's put messages on ties, like 'Just Hangin In There'" "That's a great idea," Kermit bub- bled. "Here's another one: 'I'm all tied up,'" "Maybe we should start a line of denim ties that would appeal to all those people wearing holey jeans," suggested Andy. Nobody picked up the proposal. Everyone could hear Gloria Wensbcr.g fighting the tears in the back. "Come on, Gloria," Bert con- soled. "Life will go on." "I hope not because I am in the company retirement plan and there won't be any retirement if there is no company," she explained. "If bad comes to worst, we could ask the government for a safety net like the farmers get," Buck thought out loud. He just hated to bring up the pos- sibility because he had always been a free enterprise guy who thought the world would be better off without governmenL In fact, he refused to vote for any candidates in 2016 or 2018. "But farmers have to be in the growing business to get a safety net," cautioned Stu. "We would still have to keep making neckties." "The government could do what it does with every other surplus - send them to Africa," Andy added cyni- cally. "Make it sound like it's some- thing Africa needs." "'Neckties for Nigeria' sounds pretty good," Kermit speculated. "We may have to give up on the necktie business and come up with a new product that would still use our staff and equipment," Buck worded. "Our business has always been Christmas so we need to make some- thing for Christmas," he continued. "Some sort of Christmas decoration." "How about a pre-lit garland for a new style tree decoration?" asked Kermit? "A garland made out of neckties?" Bert wondered. "It has to be a nifty garland - maybe an inch or two wide made with necktie material," added Ker- mit. "Call it a blessed tie - that sounds like something for Christmas," sug- gested Stu. "That's it!" exclaimed Buck. "Blest be the tie that binds. Wow! We'll have p.r. do some sketches and the cutters check on material. And we'll have a Merry Christmas."

Associated General Contractors presents safety awards At its annual Safety Breakfast, the Associated General Contractors of North Dakota recognized 44 member contractors who achieved time-loss incident rates significantly lower than dae national average. "Construction professionals who work for AGC of North Dakota mem- ber companies are five times more likely to go home safely than workers throughout the rest of the nation," said Russ Hanson, executive vice president of the organization. AGC of ND inembers reported an average time- loss incident rate of .29 compared to the national combined average of 1.5. According to Jack Kolberg, the as- sociation's safety consultant, a signif- icant number of members had perfect safety records with no injuries for the year. "In what continues to be con- sidered one of the most hazardous oc- cupations in the United States, our North Dakota member companies re- alize the value of a good, pro-active safety program and are willing to per- sistently pursue good safety culture," said Kolberg. In 2017-2018, Kolberg provided safety training to 3,000 AGC member employees, equivalent to a total of more than 24,000 classroom hours. ']'he AGC of ND presents the safety awards at their annual convention held in December.
