FIRST AID CLAS!
18 Supervisors Of Plant
Enrolled For Red
Cross Course
In line with Clinton-Lydia's
constant program for accident
prevention and safe working
conditions, a series 01 American
Red Cross-a p p r o v e d
classes in first aid were begun
at Clinton during the past
week, with a total of 18
Supervisors enrolled for the
course.
Instructions in first aid will
be given in three separate
groups, one for each shift, and
will be held in successive
order.
Revised Course and Textbooks
To Be Used
The Red Cross has streamlined
its standard first aid
course through introduction
of a revised textbook. The
new book features 72 variations
with 21 changes in
mPthnHs r>nrl r\ri nr?ir?le?c url->i?-?l->
permits the time required to
be reduced from 18 to 10
hours.
Charles Leatherwood, Clinton
Athletic Director, and a
graduate of the Red Cross
National Aquatic School, will
serve as class instructor. He
will be assisted by Plant
Nurse Myrtle West, R. N.
Students Praised
Overseers and Supervisors
won the praise of Superintendent
Huguley (who is also
a student) for their voluntary
interest in the first aid
classes.
"All of us hope that the
knowledge we gain in these
classes may never need be
put into actual practice," he
commented, "but it is comforting
to know, that should
an accident occur in our
plant, or outside the plant,
that men with a working and
practical knowledge of the
latest first aid techniques arc
available to offer assistance."
"Still another value of these
studies. I am sure, will come
from the greater feeling of
safety mindedness which
these men are certain to acquire.
Accident prevention is
still the best part of any
safety program, and a knowledge
of first aid carries with
it a better knowledge of what
might cause an accident. With
training such as these men
are receiving, they will be
more keenly conscious than
ever before of the importance
of safety and safe working

Percentage Of J
Cotton Is Un
- ~ w
For the first time in five
years, the percentage of cotton
used by the textile indus- v
try of this country showed an *
increase in 1956, according to
government figures.
Cotton accounted for 67.1 s
per cent, or slightly over twothirds
of all fibers, in 1956, an j
increase of two-fifths of one ^
per cent over 1955. As late as
1942, cotton represented over
80 per cent of all fibers used
by mills of the country.
Use of wool also increased
slightly, a little over one-half ,
of one per cent to 6.8 per cent. ,
Rayon and acetate dropped
nearly three per cent to 18.4
per cent, but other man-made |
fibers increased nearly one
per cent to 7.4 per cent. Silk
accounted for one-fifth of one
per cent of all fibers and flax
was one-tenth of one per cent.

i ihj average use dv eacn .
person of products made from
all fibers during 1956 was 38.7
pounds, a drop of about one
and a half pounds.
'I Didn't Have
Time To Think'
Talking about an accident
the other day, an injured man
said:
"It all happened so quickly
I didn't have time to think."
He was right. The purpose
of safety-consciousness is to
forestall and eliminate the
conditions which add up to an
accident when it is too late to
, think.
Although some accidents
; are unavoidable and seemingly
inevitable, an accident
will not usually happen until
i conditions are created that
make it possible. We often
i have control over these coni
ditions ? which can be and
f often are in the mind and in
i the physical surroundings in
t which one works.
; Under usual circumstances
THE CLOTHMAKER
here is plenty of time to corect
or avoid conditions which
nake accidents happen.
If we are aware of safety 1
nd practice its principles we
an control accidents.
Someone has wisely said:
One thought before is worth
thousand after an accident
lappens."
S(
- How To Get Along ?
1. Keep skid chains on your lc
ongue; always say less than f*
ou think. Cultivate a low ai
tersuasive voice. How you
av it often counts more than 31
vhat you say. ^
2. Make promises sparingly if
nd 1 iep them faithfully, no
natter what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity u
>ass to say a kind or cncouriging
thing, to or about some- s<
>ody. Praise good work done, d
egardless of who did it. If b
riticizing, criticize helpfully,
a. r 11
lever spueiuny.
4. Be interested in others, f(
nterested in their pursuits, ?
heir welfare, their home, Sl
heir families. Make merry
vith those who rejoice, with s
hose that weep, mourn. Let M
i very one you meet, however s'
lumble, feel that you regard
lim as one of importance.
5. Reserve an open mind u
>n all debatable questions.
Discuss, but don't argue. It is
i mark of superior minds to
iisagree and vet be friendly.
6. Let your virtues, if you
lave any, speak for them- 0
ielves, and refuse to talk of ?
mother's vices. Discourage '
gossip. Make it a rule to say c
lothing of another unless it is d
;omething good. C
7. Be careful of another's
eelings. (Wit and humor at
he other fellow's expense is
arely worth the effort and
rtinr looct nv?
aected.)
8. Pay no attention to illaatured
remarks about you.
Simply live so that nobody
will believe them. Disordered
nerves and a bad digestion
are common causes of backbiting.
Food For Thought
Nothing great was ever
achieved without enthusiasm.
In every rank, both great
and small, it is industry which
supports us all.
Always listen to the opinions
of others. It probably
won't do you any good but it
will them.
Wise men r-an rKanne tHeir
opinions; fools are sure they
were righl in the first place.
Wisdom is the power to put
our time and knowledge to
proper use.
Worry kills more people
than work because more
people worry than work.
Nothing is more dangerous
to good government than
great power in improper
hands.
The happiness you give is
the happiness you have.
The best reducing exercise
is to move the head slowly
from side to side when offered
a second helping.
A person's temper is one of
the few things that will improve
the longer you keep it.
Remember .... you can't
sling mud without getting
your hands dirty.
