JUNE. 1965 News from CLINTON PLANT WEAVING 1ST SHIFT By ? Grace Wooten Hi Folks, if you missed us in the last two months of the Clothmaker there is a good reason for it ? we were not in there! With all this moving and swapping around of these looms we haven't had time to gei arouna ana gel any news and if we had gotten any we wouldn't have had time to write it up. We haven't time now to get it up and write it, but since I have a few minutes (before they begin tying warps on these looms from Lydia) I thought I'd just tell you a few things I already know. The training program for battery hands is well under way, and from the looks of things, all the trainees will probably make the grade. The instructors for the battery hands are Evelyn Thompson, Betty Jo Creswell and Dorothy Garrett. Trainees at this time are Opal Woodward, Chris Taylor, Lona Smith, Rose Shnrlflov anrl Annio TVTni-i *? Good luck, girls! The training school is being set up in the old warehouse, where our clinic was years ago. Batteries have already been set up on stands, and E Model loom has been set up and an X2 loom will probably be set up by the time you get this paper, also a spinning frame. These machines will be used for trainees to get basic knowledge of their operation and the final stage of training will be "on the job training." Battery hands are all that are Kni nrf trninnrl n/\n* Knf UViiig klUllIVU i 1^111 AiWW UUl they are hoping to be ready to start training weavers after vacation. Here in Weave Room No. 3 we are in the process of replacing all E Model looms with X2 looms. When we get these which have been taken out replaced, we will have threefourths of the room filled with X2's. We had a new paint job overhead in here and our walls have been washed and they really shine. Mark King. Jerry Coker, Mike Campbell and Arthur Sanders have really done a good job on these walls and we who work in here every day appreciate it. Just hope now that we have them clean they'll keep someone on the job to keep them clean. MF.. a This lovely young lady is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Tucker. She will celebrate her first birthday July 14. 1965. the Plants The surroundings in which one works means a lot to the job and the employees and clean surroundings speak well for employer and employee. Just thought you might like to know what is happening to the looms being taken out of Number Three. Some of them, the wider ones, are going into Number Two and the ones that are being replaced in there are going out to the warehouse to be torn apart and the parts that are good and can be used are being salvaged. Cecil Wooten, along with Darrell Hampton, Johnny McNinch, Freddie Whitman and Gerald Lambert are working on them. Steve Lanford and Johnny Tucker are two more of our Clinton High Students who are working with us for the summer on first shift. We want to extend a big welcome to all these boys and the girls who are engaged in training program and welcome back to Buddy Lowman after a long absence due to an accident. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Ola Meadors 1 who underwent surgery at Bailey Memorial Hospital June 17. Also to Ruth Thornton who had an accident with a pressure cooker and was burned. Hurry up and get well, Ruth, we can't spare too many weavers at one time. Lucille Jennings had a birthday June 14. She said she was the same age of Jack Bcnnv. Did you really mean that, Lucille, or did you mean you were the age he says he is? Randy Fowler, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Fowler, was 9 years old June 1. Just in case we have missed someone we'll tell you that your reporter and Cecil have a new grandson ? well he's almost new, he arrived May 25 weighing 9 lb., 2 oz.. and two weeks later weighed 10 lbs. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Wooten and was named Cecil Lee for both his granddads. Well, we hope everyone has a safe, happy and restful vacation and our thanks to the management for making possible a week's vacation with pay. It has been said that a vacation is that short period between great anticipation of and recuperation from a few days of idleness. Our deepest sympathy to the ] family of Raymond Tucker.
