All of us pass the watchmen
at the gates of Lvdia and Clinton
each day on every shift.
Sometime we speak, and
sometimes we don't. Sometimes
we think these men
have a pretty easy job, but
have you ever thought of their
responsibilities?
These men are responsible
for several million dollars of
plant equipment and for every
single job in the mills. They
are in uniform as a symbol
of their authority, and they
do have full authority over
who and what goes in and out
of the gates. They are responsible
for frequent checks in
and outside of the plant,
guarding against fire and
other damage which, if not
caught in time, could eliminate
your job in a matter of
hours. Their work is even
more important over the
weekends when the plants are
emptv, checking on fire, electrical,
steam, water and other
hazards in plants and warehouses.
Below are thumbnail
sketches of these men so
that you can know them a
little better. We might call
them our "unsung" employees
because we often
forget just how important
their jobs are to all of us.
On the first shift at Lydia

their first four games.
This team is in the Piedmont
Girls Softball League and at

The Cavilettes opened
with a close victory over

by Creswell and Crawford.

and Whitmire turning in
a good pitching game.

Clinton has shown some
heavy hitting talent by all

been good. Pitching has been
' better than expected. The

Election Time N<
To Register And
The newspapers and radio
for months and today have
been full of political news:
new and old candidates placing
their names before the
public for nomination and
election to public office, resignations
of officials in all
walks of government, promises
both wild and sane and
forecasts by individuals and
groups as to who will represent
us after election day at
the national, state and local
level.
It is not only the privilege.
5t is also the obligation
and duty of every good
American citizen to vote in
every election and thereby
take part in the selection
of the men and women who
comprise our government.
It is no doubt a fact that
Ihe corrupt politicians in our
government are there because
of the people who do not vote.
Do you know that the 82nd
Congress was elected by 44
per cent of the qualified
voters, and that only half of
the qualified voters took the
ti:rie and trouble to vote in
our last presidential election
in 1948? This lack of interest
which we as citizens show in
our government presents one
ot the greatest dangers confronting
all of us.
If we do not cast our vote
in an election, we have no
right to criticize the person
someone else elects. The time
to express our opinion is before
and on election day and
not in the years that follow.
Look at Records
We would not presume to
suggest to anyone how thev
should vote, but all of us have
a responsibility of reminding
and strongly urging each and
every employee at C'inton
and Lvdia Mills to vote on
election day. Study the candidates
and what they and
their critics have to say about
them. Weigh their past records
against future promises and
make up your mind without
being swayed by campaign
oratory. Then cast your vote
and urge your fellow employees
to do the same for
their choice.
In order to be able to vote,
it is of course necessary to
register sufficiently far in advance
of election day to meet
election laws. In South Carolina
you must register by the
first Monday in June, so it is
important to give our personal
attention to this at once.
Other election laws are
that you must have lived in
fl

it still is necessary
for you to have your registration
