JUNE. 1964 "Mill Whistlers" Wii mm ECMr*~^S m ' >*-Al L. to R.. Sinclair, Palters The Mill Whistlers copped top honors in the 1904 Classic Textile Bowling League by downing Greenwood in a sudden death play-off on the local lanes earlier this month. William Bowling captained the team composed of Doug Gregory, Hovt Harvey, Bennie Sinclair, Sr., and Wallace Patterson. Gregory was named the league's "Most Improved Player" at the awards banquet H O R S E The fellow who always wants to be the center of at traction or who thinks that he has to be the "life of the party," whether he is at play or at work, is the person who usually likes to engage in horseplay. There is always a possiblity of horseplay at work, even in a small group. We have come a long way over the years?I think that there is less tendency to engage in horseplay today than there was many years ago. No doubt you've heard of the simple little jokes that were usually pulled on new employees, such as sending them to the supply room for a lefthanded monkey wrench or even a skv hook. When something like this was pulled on a new employee, he usually fell for it. Since it was his first day on the job and he wanted to do what he was told in order to make a good impression, off he went to the supply room, only to become the laughingstock of the rest of the gang. This type of a practical joke soon became too mild in nature and the practical jokers thought up much rougher tricks, which were serious job hazards because they resulted in many injuries. I suppose that they wouldn't have come up with so many unusual stunts if they hadn't had an audience, which usually encourages a practical joker. The worst stunts were pulled on the young or inexperienced employee. The simple little capers intended to show up a green employee were just starters ? the "jokes" soon got much worse. The new employee is naturally green about his new duties? you remember your first day on the job, just as I do. That's n Classic Textile Title rip5 W ^B;?**' r.k|Wj *W. ion.

Your surroundings were all quite new ?you had been thrust into a whole new world with a teacher that you never saw before. However, there werp 20 or 30 other kids in your class and they were all in the same boat, weren't they? What would have happened if some smart-aleck kid tripped you on the stairs? You wouldn't have liked it, and it might have changed your whole outlook on school. You certainly wouldn't have wanted to go the second day. So, if any of us have even the slightest feeling or urge to "pour it on" the new fellow, it is exactly the type of thing that we can't afford to do. Horseplay is defined in the dictionary as being rough or boisterous play. I've seen it develop into much more than just "play"?it can easily get out of hand! In addition to the usual possibility of serious injury, horseplay also interferes with production. We don't want any one to suffer injury, nor do we want production to suffer. Some of the following would be classed as horseplay on the job. As you hear them, try to think of the serious things that could happen as a result: tickline someone in the ribs while he is busy on the machine; giving a fellow a hot-foot; greasing steps or a ramp; shoving or pushing someone; tripping a guy; throwing tools or other objects; wrestling or scuffling; or teasing or fooling others at work. I almost forgot a gag that used to be very popular ? pulling a bench or stool out THE CLOTHMAKER Can You Name Her? The creature described below is your enemy. If you can't guess her name, turn the page upside down: The swiftest traveler of all the ills on earth. At the start a small and cowardly thing, it soon puffs itself up and walking upon the ground, it buries its head in the c'oudbase. A svviftfooted creature, a winged angel of ruin. A terrible monster. She terrorizes whole cities, loud-speaker of truth, hoarder of mischievous falsehood. Regaling the people with various scandal . . . announcing fact and fiction indiscriminately. What is her name?

Harry and Paul Foster, Dan Osborne, J. D. Hanley, Bobby Cannon and George Thompson comprised the championship team. Four teams were represented in the morning league play. from under someone as he was about to sit down. It mattered little whether it was Gus, Herman, Hubert, or Poindexter that sat down on the floor?the simple fact is that you can cause painful or serious injury just for the sake of a laugh from the others. The chances are too big to take! Remember, too, that a blast of air can cause a person to be blinded or to have his eardrum ruptured. If you direct a blast of air just to hear it or to scare someone, you may throw debris or small metal fibers into someones eyes. I hope that you'll be on the lookout for practical jokers. Probably the biggest favor you could do in this matter would be to report any horseplay to your supervisor. Above all else, don't encourage anyone by laughing at these gags which often cause serious injuries. Remember when civilization used to stand at the crossroads and wonder which way to turn? These days it has to find the right cloverleaf at 60 miles an hour.
