AUGUST, 1965 News from WEAVING NO. 3 1ST SHIFT by ? Grace Wooten Clinton Plant Wouldn't it be wonderful if we did have the time to do the things we feel that we should do. But we haven't had the time to talk to our fellow employees enough since vacation to find out where they all went. But the most im portant thing is, that all our folks here in Weaving No. 3, first shift came back safely from anywhere they may have gone, and the only complaint I've heard is that "They didn't have enough time."

In the two circles at either end of the bill are reproduced the two sides of the Great Seal of the United States. Have you ever taken a good look at it and do you know _ what it means? The pyramid in the left hand circle represents the material strength of our country. Directlv above it is the "eye of God." It emphasizes the importance of putting the spiritual welfare of our country above its material prosperity. Above the pyramid and the eve are the words "ANNUIT COEPTIS." This Latin motto is translated as "He (God) has favored our undertakings." Directly under the pyramid are three more Latin words. "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM," which means a new order of the ages and this re iers 10 tne new and revolutionary concept of government. Across the base of the pyramid are the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI (1776) the beginning of the United States as an independent nation. Tne right hand circle displays the eagle, our national emblem. The shield on the eagle's breast contains 13 stripes reminding of the rights of the individual states. In the eagle's right talon is the olive branch for peace. If your eyes are good enough you can count thirteen leaves. In the eagle's left talon is a bundle of thirteen a r r o w s representing the power of war. Above the eagle's head is a ring of light surrounding the thirteen stars. i tic ureal fteai is used on official documents, medals, currency, and certain publications under the supervision of the Secretary of State who is its custodian.
