different jobs in the department
if we happen to get
short-handed. There's being
on time every day. There are
kind of 'outside things' which
aren't actually part of the
job but which in the end
help me, you and all the
people I work with. Such as
I 1 ii . r a
ueing on me saietv committee,
or helping get up news
for the mill newspaper, or
maybe helping with the Community
Chest drive . . things
like that.
"I like to think that part of
my job is being a good citizen
of Laurens county, being
a good father and a good
American, too. It's pretty
hard these days to tell where
your home life, community
life and mill life begin and
end. They're all mixed up together.
Cecil looked a little confused.
"Maybe this will help clear
up things," Joe said. "Tell
your classmates about my
grandfather and his job."
"Great grand-pa?" said Cecil.
"Boy, he must have been
a wheel. At least his pictures
make him look like one."

Joe said. "The only trouble
was that he had to get up before
daylight and work until
way after dark. He ran a
farm almost by himself and
he was his own carpenter,
bricklayer, gardener, repairman
and blacksmith. He
worked the year 'round doing
hundreds of different jobs.
"Great grand-ma was a
good manager, too. She had

She ran the house, fed
the stock, did the washing,
mending, ironing, baking and
once in a while she had a
little time left over at night
to look through a mail-order
catalog for things she would
like to have.
"They earned a good living,
and finally they had some of
the comforts we all want.
They were very important
and respected people in the
community."
Joe, the loomfixer, leaned
forward. "Today, 1 see that

people of this country and of
