MAY 15. 1952 TECHNICAL LABORATORY Clinton-Lydia Standards lab under shown testing yarn for breaking st Work oi Stand (Cont'd, from Page 1) then the mill has to be sure that machine speeds, package weights, ends down and cleaning are kept to a standard. Low speeds reduce the earn nig jjuwei ??i a joo. underweight yarn packages mean more creeling or doffing to be done. Frequent checks are made on machine speeds. There must be a proper balance between production in all departments and machine speeds are important in this. Too high speeds result in lowered quality as well as damage to machines. Too slow speeds in one department may slow up all other departments, either too high or too low speeds affect employees' pay. especially when paid on a piece-work basis. We mentioned proper package weights a moment ago. This can mean card room cans, warp and filling bobbins, spooler cheeses, beams, etc. As an example, when filling bobbins do not have the proper weight or yards per bobbin, spinning room efficiency drops and the doffer must lift more bobbins per hour than the standard job require nent. the battery hand in the weave room is required to plug more bobbins per hour, and poorer cloth quality results from more quill changes. These are just a few of the things our standards men are constantly checking on which mean just as much to the individual employees as they do t/\ t on 1 rn nl nnt T it nnv IKJ I I IV.

THE OPENING GAME of thf the game and chills from the nip and close game with the Cavaliers rH E CLOTHMAKER Cavaliers Have Ups And Downs The t952 ball season is in full swing now with plenty of thrills at the opening game plus some chills clue to the weather. The Cavaliers rallied at the last to bring the score almost even, but were on the low end of a 4 to 3 score against Ninety-Six. Impressive pre-game ceremonies were held at this game with President P. Silas Bailey throwing out the first ball. The high school band in full uniform was on hand and add??d much to the occasion with some precision marching and playing. Roy Whitaker and Claudie Voiselle jumped into a pitching battle with Voiselle on top at the end of the game. In the second game. Cbnton lost another close one. bowing to Joanna by a four to three score. Bill Roland and Rov Peeler handled the pitching with Peeler the winner. First win of the season for the Cavaliers was turned in the third game with Clinton taking a 12 to H victorv over Joanna.
