A safety program such as
the one in operation at
Clinton Mills is planned
with the welfare of each
employee in mind and with
the specific purpose of preventing
the pain and suffering
which may be caused
by accidents. Some employees
may fee! that an
accident - prevention piegram
does not affect them
directly as individuals, but
safety is everybody's business.
Each employee must
feel strongly about safety,
believing that, if he hopes
to remain accident - free,
being safety conscious is an

Textile Industry
Sers Record
The textile industry
reached all-time high production
levels in 1969 but
fell down slightly in sales,
profits and employment,
according to an American
Textile Manufacturers Institute
report.
ATM I Tresident Charles
F. Myers, Jr., of Greensboro,
blamed the Vietnam
war, imports and inflation
for the declines. He said
the long-range outlook for
% tlie industry is good and its
rate of growth will be closely
tied to conditions in the
general economy.
lie cited figures showing
y that the past decade has
r been a good one overall for
s the industry.
Mr. Myers said that during
the 1960's, textile proi
duction increased by 47 peril
cent, sales jumped from
f. $13.7 billion to $21.1 billion.
employment increased by
more than 60,000, hourly
wages increased 50 per cent,
minority employment more
than 200 per cent and nearly
$0 billion was invested in
new plants and equipment.
"The industry is faced
with problems,' Mr. Myers
y said, "import competition,
i- a cost-price squeeze, u
e shrinking labor force and
t tight money. But, overall
li it is in a strong position to
achieve a more desirable
rate of growth and prosperity
during the decade
1( of the seventies."

The teacher told the class,
"Do not imitate what other
