By Joe Caughman Clinton Spinning A good safety record is something any department can well be proud of and for many reasons. It shows that we are interested in each other and in the company for which we work. It shows that through unification and a will to do our best, good safety records can be made. We on the Second Shift know this because we had gone from October 6. 1950 to November 10, 1953 without a single lost-time accident. This is more than three years. This previous accident was classified as carelessness ? the greatest threat to a good safety record. Let's not let this accident stop us from making an even better safety record in the future. A good safety record helps you and your neighbor ?an accident hurts you most of all.

Y01 HEALTH High Blood Pressure High blood pressure oc- p :upies a large place in the c ninds of many men and ii vomen and quite often, there ii s a lot of misunderstanding f< about this subject. v The pressure in the blood * vessels is due to the action of * the heart and the elasticity h af the arteries. When the P aeart contracts it forces the a olood into the arterial pipes t( which act like rubber tubes, ^ iwfllinrT QlirrVitlv tho n o %7 aeartbeat. When the heart a rests, the pressure drops, but not to zero because it is sus- h Lained by the elastic walls of s Lhe arteries. Thus blood pres- 1 sure has a top figure (svstalic) t which coincides with the r heartbeat, and a low point f (diastalic) which represents t the heart's resting stage and c indicates the elasticity of the t arteries. c Rules have been devised for estimating normal blood pressure at various ages. i Actually blood pressure has . no constant relationship to age. It isn't steady but fluctuates under the influence of fatigue, fear, anger, extertion ' and many other stimulus. One blood pressure examination 1 is not significant; a doctor N takes a reading several times before he is satisfied. He wants to be sure that an un- > usually high one which might s be due to excitement is not 1 prevalent. Two Choral i Groups Formed ; Two new choral groups, ) one for men and the other for } women, have been organized ' in the Clinton Community 1 during the past month. < The Ladies Choral Club ? has named the following 1 officers: j President, Mrs. Alvin Bag- ' well; Secretary - treasurer, < Polly Brazil; Reporter. Miss ] Marion Mitchell; Director, Mrs. Joe E. Land; Accom- , panist, Robert Reynolds. I The Men's Choral Club 1 elected the following leaders: j President, M. L. Poole; 1 Secretary-treasurer, William < Weir. Both clubs have rehearsals 1 each week. Women interest- < ed in joining that choral club should call Mrs. Alvin i Bagwell for more details while men should get in i touch with Mr. Poole. i CAMPFIRE GIRLS 1 ON OUTING The Aowakiya group of Pnmnfiro f!i rlc on o 1 Nature hike late in January, i After playing several nature flames and telling a nature I continuous story, the girls roasted wieners and marsh- i mallows.

Since this is Lhe anniversary issue of The Clothmaker, it should be an appropriate time to reprint the following item which shows what one editor had to say after he was severely iinji/.cu mi an error in 111s paper. "Yes, we know there were some errors in last week's paper. We will further agree that there were some errors in the issue of the week before, but before bawling us >ut too unmercifully about it. we want to call your attention to these facts: In an ordinary newspaper column there are 10,000 letters, and there are seven possible wrong positions for each letter, making 70.000 chances to make errors and several million chances for transpositions. There are 48 columns in this paper, so you can i<j\juuy 111L- LimiitCd mi mistakes. Did you know that in the sentence, 'To be or not to be', by transpositions alo.,e, 2.759,022 errors can be made. Now aren't you sorry you got mad about that little mistake last week?"
