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

and close game with the Cavaliers

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. Furman Taylor handled
the mound for Clinton
with Johnny Moore pitching
for Joanna.

We've had our ups and

turn-out at every game will
do a lot to help the Cavaliers.

the fuzziness. When they are
finished, they are impregnated
with chemicals for a
permanent stiffening effect
giving an organdy feel. Treated
about the same way with
different chemicals you get a
voille for ladies blouses, underwear
and other wearing
apparel.
The bag industry uses large
quantities of this fabric, much
of it being used to ship rock
salt among other things. Some
of the bedding industry find
it superior for purposes there.

Treated with chemicals it
becomes seersucker or plisse
which is used for beach wear,
bath robes and other wearing
apparel. These items do not
have to be ironed after washing
as the crinkle put into
them at the finishing plant by
customers is permanent. The
cloth also goes to the shoe and
quilting trade and is shipped
all over the world as an export
number.
Style J. Clinton
This style also is used by
the quilting industry where it
is printed and quilted in various
designs to make bed
quilts. For baby bed-pads and
full-sized mattress pads, the
goods are bleached and added
to a filler of cotton batting
It is also used as bias bindings
and tape, coated products and
rubberizing

Style DD, Clinton
This cloth goes primarily to
the export trade where it is
heavily back-filled and used
in tropical countries for
dresses, shirts and pillow
cases. Domestically it is used
for hankerchiefs and interlinings
and other consumer purposes.
Style K, Clinton
This is used primarily to
make plissed fabrics, or
crinkle crepes similar to
woven seersuckers except the
crinkle is put in chemically.

Style D. Lydia and Clinton
This cloth has regular and
unusual uses. It is used as
backing on emery paper and
also as a backing on paper
which is in turn used for maps.
It is rubberized and used in
waders, sports caps, etc. The
navy buys collars of cloth
covered paper which can be
used twice bv reversing them
and thrown away. This style
has been used for this. Other
uses: export, handkerchiefs,
flags and banners, bias bind

Style S. Lyc'ia
Used in the same manner
as style K but goes into a
higher price bracket of finished
goods because of higher
construction in warp and filling
and consequently better
fabric quality.
Style E. Clinton
This is a popular number
being converted for pajamas,
shirts, house-dresses, under1
wear, kimonos, house jackets
and nightgowns. It is sold
; over the counter as yard

many other uses.
