The thought occurred to me T extile Industry Is Saluted Governor James B. Fd wards recently signed a proclamation setting August 11-15 as Textile Week. The proclamation recognizes that the textile industry employs more than 50 percent of the workforce in South Carolina, and has a payroll in excess of one billion dollars. The Governor also recognized textile employees and their respective companies for their contributions to the economy and growth of the state. Ihipps ig Held neer and Mrs. Marvin G. Gault, Jr. She is a graduate of Columbia College where she attended as a Bailey Scholar. Parents of the groom are Mr. and Mrs. Mack Ernest Phipps of Rossville, Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Phipps are making their home at 2206 Wilson Drive, Beaufort, S.C. J? that each of these companies is competing for our customers. Then I thought positive. If everyone of us did our job the best we could, we would ! produce the best product. If we 1 eliminated all waste and 1 prevented all accidents, we : could make the best product at 1 a lower price. If we had the best ' product at the lowest price, then 1 we could sell more to more customers. Other textile com- 1 panics then wouldn't be after ' our business, but trying to hold 1 on to theirs. Competition in the textile industry is keen. How well we compete depends upon all of us. Your friend. BULK RATE U. S POSTACE PAID Clinton. S. C. Permit No. 59 Tips For Carpools A earpool is communal commuting and that benefits everyone, helps combat inflation and conserve energy. Some realistic figures show .hat a earpool can save the average driver $50 a month. The cost of gasoline has risen aver 55 percent during the aast 14 months. This figure ncludes gasoline, oil, tires, maintenance, insurance and lepreciation. Here's an interesting comaarison. If you drive 18 miles oundtrip from home to work ?ach day, the transportation is costing you $62.26 per month. In addition to the obvious monetary saving, carpools reduce pollution, traffic conges tion and conserve energy. All of these advantages benefit everyone. 1 ?Make your pool serve just one purpose. If it is for commuting to and from work, don't let it become a shopping or errand service. 2 ?Choose one permanent driver, if you can. This reduces chances for misunderstanding and promotes reliability. 3?If driving duties must be shared, rotate monthly or weekly rather than daily, for less confusion. 4?Establish and maintain a regular route and schedule. 5?Be certain the car is safe, comfortable and well serviced. c n: ? -? u?wiscuss carpooi plans with your insurance agent (liability coverage in most policies is adequate ?but be sure!) Inform passengers about insurance coverage. 7?Establish a chain of com munication among the members of your pool so that rapid adjustments can be made with minimum delay and inconvenience if illness or mechanical problems occur. (The chain of communication should parallel the morning pick-up sequence: driver, passenger #1, passenger H2, passenger #3. If driver is ill or car won't start, he /.111c J vuno aiio nisi passcn^r ana asks him to drive. If a passenger must change plans, he should notify the person who is picked up. 8 -Don't honk for your passengers (it frays nerves of leighbors and starts dogs larking for twenty blocks iround!) Passengers, watch for your driver (just as for the bus? but from the comfort of your house.) He prompt! Reach agreement on how long I he driver should wait?preferably no more than one or two minutes. 9?If you can think of other potential problems, discuss them when your pool arrangements are first made. Reach firm agreements on all points; review them occasionally to avoid misunderstanding. Q
