Although employment is expected to increase by 20 percent in the nation as a whole by 1985, growth in the Southeast is expected to be 27 percent. "The concern for unemployment that accompanies dramatic changes is natural," Cornelson said. "But the truth is that such changes always promote high rates of job creation. Always behind the fears that new equipment and new techniques will displace employees is the knowledge that automation can never fully replace the human element?someone has to be highly trained to push the button and make it work." During the program, Andrew McGee, a Lydia Carding employee, was one of four honor students receiving scholarships in Textile Management. The scholarships are contributed annually by Clinton Mills and several other leading textile industries.
