' We see and hear much about the first shift at Clinton-Lvdia Mills, and quite a bit about the second shift, but often we might be accused cf somewhat neglecting the third shift. Perhaps that is because more of us are up and working during daylight hours. The third shift is just as important as any other, however, to the overall operation of the mills, and for that reason we are salutint? a few typical employees of the third shift at Clinton. During this month, our photographer will make some trips through Lydia on the third shift so that the next issue will give you a few night views there. We have good reason to be proud of our third shifts from m a n y standpoints. Many people would assume that despite the same amount of sleep during the daytime, a person might not be as alert working on the third shift. Records show this is not the case, because our third shifts have a very good safety record and there is hardly a pinpoints difference in efficiency and production between all three shifts. There is a fine spirit of morale on the third shift which is com posed of some mighty fine people from the youngest learner up through veteran employees with long service, and there are many of these. We are proud to give this little extra recognition to the third shift and only regret that space did not permit the use of more pictures of more employees. V f Our night photographer snapped Isabel!
