6 Hose Safety Is Important To All By William Fowler No 1 Weaving. First Clinton Mill Hero are just a few safety observations I have made about proper use of air hoses or blow pipes which I believe will be of interest to all of us. 1. Please do not walk in front of the blow pipe when blowing off a loom. It not only may tear up your hair, but also may blow something una your eye. 2. Do not hand the blow pipe from one person to another with the nozzle up. j There is 95 pounds of pres- j sure in there which could a blow out an eye, or slip out of a hand and slap you in the face w'th a hard blow. 3. Please do not stand on the air hose while in motion. There are times when the blow pipe fastens under a loom and a slight jerk may loosen it. It could cause an accident then by jerking your feet out from under you. 4. I use my protection to try to protect you. If we both try to protect each other all | the time, we can play safe. C T J 1 * ?j. i ininK after backs of both looms are blown off, 1 weaving alleys should be i swept out to protect cotton 4 from getting on warps and also to protect eves from get- ? ting cotton in them. It also leaves bobbins and pieces of metal so they can be seen and cleaned from the floor. / 6. Another reason for cleaning the alleys right after looms have been blown off is for good housekeeping. When they are not swept, the loose tl cotton makes a good job look dirty. 7. It is a bad idea EVER d to jerk an air hose while someone is blowing off. You could cause him to make a break out or burst a shuttle bv blowing cotton over the harness, or slapping the nozzle against the back bar and breaking a lot of ends. 8. If you are working under a loom, be sure to let the blow-off man know before he gets to you for he could blow something off the floor into your eyes, such as grease, fine metal or cotton. I'll try to be your friend if you'll try to be mine and we will avoid a lot of unnecessary accidents. You remind me, and I'll remind you, if we see something going on that o shouldn't. f T 1- ' ' * i nave oeen blowing off for p quite a while and I do know s that accidents have happened for some of the reasons stated above. Let's always play it safe by thinking before you do anything, particularly around a blow hose. Good-bye now from your blow-off man in No. 1 Weave Room, first Shift. Clinton Mill.

Clinton Activities 01 Asking For Many N In the Clinton Mill community there are many organizations for the interest of the members and for the betterment of the village in which we live. These groups include opportunities for those of every age. For the girls we have three groups: The Blue Birds for those 7, 8, and 9 under the leadership of Mrs. A. C. Young and Mrs. L. C. Ficklin; the Campfire Girls, age 10-13 under the direction of Mrs. Sholar, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Reynolds, Miss Ruby Fallow and Mary E. Cannon; the Horizon Club, for those 14 and over with Miss Nellie Osborn and Mrs. J. W. Smith as leaders. Each of these organizations is a part of the National Campfire Girls, having the same ideals, and objectives. Through membership in these groups, the girls develop socially, mentally and spiritually preparing them for a richer and fuller life for themselves and for the good of the community. For the boys, there are two organizations: the Cub Scouts, for the younger boys, under the direction of Daniel A. D u n a w a v and Glenn F. Downs; the Boy Scouts, for the older bovs, with John Vassey as Scoutmaster. These two organizations have long been recognized as a training ground for good citizens and offer to the boys every opportunity for becoming wellrounded and well-prepared citizens. Remember the young people of today are the leaders of our community and nation tomorrow. Not only are there these groups for the young people, but we also have the Hobby Club and the Woman's Club for the women of the village. The Hobby Club offers to each woman an opportunity to learn new crafts and skills with help and training at little individual cost. The Woman's Club, which takes the place of the P. T. A. in our Village, works for the improvement of the commu nitv as a whole. They have interesting programs once a month and it gives mothers and other women of the village an chance for fellowship with others working toward the same goals and same ideals. Each of these organizations invites you to come and join. El H A-3-C RAYMOND PRICE is shown here with his bride, the former Janet Nelson, of Reno, Nev.
