foods and allergies to certain
foods. Excessive use
of coffee, tobacco or alcohol
also frequently cause
indigestion. Finally that

TEXTILE FACTS
AND FIGURES
The South Carolina textile
industry employed a
record number of women?
58,607 ? during the past
year, according to the S. C.
Labor Department.
The textile industry in
South Carolina, North Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama
was important enough by
1900 to consume nearly onethird
of the cotton grown
in those four states, the
U. S. Census shows.
A svndirafpH rr?lnmr?ict
stated recently that home
sewing devotees can purchase
textiles from any of
some 17,000 outlets in the
U. S.
Cotton cloth was considered
a luxury item at the
beginning of the 1800s and
accounted for only a very
small percentage of manufactured
textiles.
"Grey goods," cloth that
is marketed without dyeing
or finishing, has for many
years constituted an important
section of the textile
market.

languages has accumulated
phrases which refer to the
effects of emotion on digestion.
"She makes me sick!"
or "I can't swallow behavior
(or 'a story' or 'talk')
like that!"
Ordinary indigestion can
be corrected by a bland low
bulk diet, simple antacids
such as baking soda and
relief from the causes of
nervous tension. But if the
symptoms persist or recur
frequently, see your doctor.
Peptic ulcer, heart disease
and even appendicitis
are some of the more serious
conditions which mav
somewhat resemble simple
indigestion.
The first typewriter, invented
by C. L. Stokes in
1867, usea an inked textile
ribbon to transfer letters
from keys to paper.
Textile spending for new
plants and equipment in
1969 was $890 million ?
lower than expected, but
19 per cent above the $750
million of 1968.
The giant textile industry
of Japan is that country's
biggest employer,
with about 1.7 million employees.

PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity means a lot
more than man-hours and
output.
Although we measure
productivity by man-hours
in relation to goods produced,
this is too simple to
ten tne real story ot productivity.
Along with man - hours,
the making of Superior
Quality Fabrics requires
raw materials of high standards,
the best machines,
equipment, and methods.
Many other factors make
up the "in put" that go into
productivity.

can take all the other things
that go into production and
they still may not add up
to a salable product?without
the indispensable factor
of quality.
And quality can only
be supplied by the more
than 1,700 Clinton Mills
employees.

Dove Season Opens
September 5
For many years the South
Carolina dove season has
opened on September 14 or
15, depending on whether
or not the opening came
on a Sunday.
September 5 is opening
date this year and some
hunters have shown mixed
emotions about the early
start.
One veteran hunter,
Bailey Plant Assistant
Overseer Harry Lanford,
put it this way: "Many
birds are quite small during

We all like to hunt when
it's a bit cooler, but I'll be
out there any time."
The South Carolina Wildlife

has given many reasons for
the change; we hope each
Clinton Mills employee will
be able to harvest his share
of the birds during the
season.
