6 This Is ONLY I Cloth maker We hope the headline over this column saying it is for reporters only will bring about enough curiosity for all employees to read because each and every person can help your reporters produce a better Clothmaker each month. We have had a number of suggestions lately, most of them from reporters and some from other employees, and we believe if the following suggestioi ? are followed wherever possible, it will improve the paper and make it more interesting. They are not ironclad rules, but we are passing them on for what they are worth. 1. Birthdays and anniversaries. Many of the birthdays and anniversaries have been reported AFTER they happened. Several have suggested that if they had known it before, they would have given someone a present, etc., but the event was a month old when they read about it. We know it is hard to think several weeks ahead, but if we can remember that The Clothmaker comes out the 15th of each month and print birthdays and anniversaries that will occur during the NEXT 30 days instead of the past, that will be an improvement and a service to interested employees and friends. 2. Do not turn in slurs or jokes on friends, even though they are in fun. It is one thing to kid someone in person about something, hut 0, ' wvl4IV' how when it turns up in cold, hard print, it just sounds differently. We don't want to embarrass anyone, and we know you don't. If it's something the person really doesn't care about, that's a different thing, but before turning something like this in to your reporter, think first how you would feel if it was printed about you. Same thing about boys and girls going together unless they are, about *o be, engaged. We are nci, running a matrimonial bureau and young love being what young love sometimes is, maybe the two have busted up between the time an item has been reported and when it is printed. 3. Pictures. Owners of pic tures sent in should put on the back of the picture the name of the person, what happened to them, and the name and department of the person to whom the picture is to be returned. DON'T send in framed pictures, slide the picture out because something might happen to the frame and all we need is the picture which will not be damaged. And speaking of pictures, if you send in one and it does not appear in the next issue, don't think we don't like you. We just have so much space and when it is filled, we have no more. It usually will aDDear in thp next issue and you will be so notified before the paper comes out. Tj 'or ters 4. Help your reporter. From the howls we hear when the paper is a day late, some must be interested in reading it and your reporter and other reporters are responsible for making it as interesting as it is. But your reporter has a job to do in the mill just as you do. They have volunteered their time, a lot of thinking and a lot of effort to dig up the news so your department will be well represented in The Clothmaker. Don't be bashful and make your reporter PULL the news out of you. It isn't egotistical to tell your reporter what is happening with your family, your child, or what you have been doing. Your friends and neighbors want to know about it, so help your reporter by going to her or to him and telling mm wnen anything happens. The Clothmaker is just a mirror, reflecting what goes on in and around Clinton and Lydia Mills. Let's make that mirror shine. Cavaliers Battle For League Spot The Clinton Cavaliers were battling hard as we went to press, trying to pull themselves up to the top of the Palmetto League. With a week's rest during vacation week, the team was setting its cap for some hard play from the middle of July until the league plav ends August 14. As play was halted for the Vflpntinn t^oririrl \A7or-o I*'" .ww, WW WAV. ,WaU' was on top bv the slim margin of half a game. Johnson and Mathews Mills were tied in second spot with the Clinton Cavaliers pushing right behind. The Cavaliers were closely followed bv Calhoun Falls. With this tight race, anything can happen as the season goes into the final weeks with the playoffs scheduled right after August 14.

Mrs. Land Feted By Two Groups Mrs. Eva Land, Clinton Mills Community Director, was delightfully entertained with two surprise birthday parties late in June. Both the Sunday School and the Choir of Calvary Baptist church gave her a lovely dinner, one at the church and the other in the community building. Beautiful decorations and table settings were used in both instances with the honoree presented with a corsage before each event. Mrs. Land also was given two nice gifts by the two groups.

IN THE MAIL BAC 208 Washington St. June 16, 1954 Gentlemen: I am writing to thank you for the prize we received in the Clean-Up, Fix-Up yard contest recently. Actually we did not do any special cleaning or fixing up because we always try to keep our yard the best we can. The prize was a great surprise and we certainly appreciated it. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Heaton. Sr. No man is ever too busy to hear you tell him how smart he is. * * * An opera is a play in which a man is stabbed, but instead of bleeding, he sings.
