Rudolph Is Savec ByHeirr "Several weeks ago I had bought some barbecue meat," recalled Assistant Weaving Superintendent Rudolph Barker, "and while eating it, a piece got lodged in my throat." "I was unable to speak and my wife tried to help me, but she was unsuccessful." "In a state of excitement, I ran out of the house, clapping my hands, and grabbing my throat," continued Barker. "Bennie Brewer, a Plant No. 1 Assistant Weaving Superintendent, was working on a car across the street. "He and I have been friends and neighbors for many years."

Last year, approximately 4,000 persons died from choking on food. It is the sixth major cause of accidental death in the nation. Before applying the Heimlich Maneuver, it is important that a person distinguish ueiweeii iooa cnoKing ana a heart attack. A heart attack victim can usually breathe and speaks and complains* of chest pain. A choking victim cannot speak or breathe. n \ I v r-i'M n Mars are the Mrs. Karen ley Plant emas 2 years old n will be 8 in hey are the i of Clark Meait No. 2 em Retires From Lydia?Willie 1 Mae's friends are shown wishing 111MmPwIWr' 'M Retired Lillian Watts retired from Plant No. 2 Weaving on May 7.
