The weekly safety meetings which have been in progress since September 1 have created more interest in safety among all employees of Weaving -3 & 4. The supervisors have been very busy lalkina In nnnVi r\( ? & ? -?-*? s.i.K.1, employees about "Safety", and its advantages. A different employee is asked to talk at each meeting and each one has come up with some very interesting and helpful suggestions regarding "Safety". Dot Lanford, Emily McNinch and Missouri Wilkie and Grady Smith and Gertrude Fowler have made some interesting talks. We all feel Mrs. Eva West, Clinton Mills, is shown with her son, Jerry, and grandson, Curtis, on a recent visit, in July, with Mr. and Mrs. Jerry West of San Leandro, California. Eva informed us one of the most interesting sights was the snow on the Sierra Mountains. THE CLOTHMAKER that more interest is being shown and the more we talk Safety, the less accidents we will have.
