MARCH 16, 1953 Sa^e % frJ m EUNICE CAUGHMAN oI Clin ion weaving no. i suggested using blunt Wiss scissors for weavers as both a safety device and to prevent damaging cloth. Ideas which will prevent accidents or which will lead to removing hazardous conditions that are accepted by the Safety Committees at either Clinton or Lydia Mills pay off in the form of an automatic pencil to the employee making the suggestion. And a lot of folks now have one of these practical pencils as a result of turning in a good idea such as the three shown on this page.

Vinola Dunaway Tells Why She Likes Job By Vinola Dunaway I have worked for Clinton Cotton Mills since 1920 and have enjoyed this work very much. One of the reasons is that we have had fine overseers, such as Roy Holtzclaw, our present one. and good Second Hands like Grover Sanders. There have been many changes made over the years, such as changing from belt to motor drive, electric blowers, fine floors and modern rest rooms and water coolers. In the past few years we have had first aid boxes installed in each department and our up-to-date clinic with Mrs. Myrtle West in charge. Safety has been our practice in the past and we hope it will improve in the future. mi MRS. RUBY Dunaway is shown here with her little son, Donny Ray Dunaway.

CARSON of the second shift Shop at Clinton Mills C suggested (and made) the new L ladder shown above leading from the Card Room under the ramp which replaced an old and unsafe ladder. "Lots of weavers will not agree with this idea, but if they try it out, they will like ^ it as much as I do," she says. , She also won a pencil. John Carson of the Shop discovered a ladder leading ^ from the Clinton Card Room ^ down to the roof below was ^ rickety and needed replacing. ^ He made a new one in the ^ Shop which removed a possibly dangerous condition.
