Stranded motorists pack Effingham in blizzard of 1973
Effingham Illinois mayor Clyde Martin said 2000 to 3000 motorists stagnated by a blizzard with no eastbound traffic on Interstate 70 or northbound traffic on Interstate 57. Civil Defense volunteers helped at churches and motels stayed open to feed travelers as hotels filled. Firemen directed Dan White of Austin Texas to First Christian Church, a long time shelter for winter travelers, where he found a warm place to sleep and food and called the reception fantastic.

Sony San Diego plant backs quality image boosts morale
The first U S Sony TV plant relies on the idea that Sony is better to attract customers and retain workers. In San Diego two thirds of the 1,000 employees are women, turnover is low, and jobs remain stable through recession and a 1975 price war. Sony emphasizes quality, prestige, and a nonunion, individualized personnel approach, with internal promotion and floor-level contact to keep workers satisfied. Union drives in 1974 and 1977 were rejected.
