A MESSAG
FROM
CLINT

Dear Folks:
The other day, I saw a list of
the many companies who
manufacture textile products
which we also produce, iielieve
you me, it was a long list.
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.

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.

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.
