Blood Drive Employees Roll Up Sleeves To Gift Of Life Program Clinton Mills Lydia Plant employees had an opportunity to give the gift of life as the Carolina-Georgia Blood Center’s trained medical personnel ac cepted blood donations on September 5. Clinton plants employees who need blood should contact the Personnel Department. Sonny King co-ordinates the blood drive activities. “We need more donors,” stated King. “Many of our employees are able to give blood, but for some reason, keep putting it off. Our hospital and treat ment centers need a steady supply of blood.” Under the Clinton Mills blood assurance program, the company will arrange for unlimited blood replace ments anywhere in the United States for the employee, his or her spouse, and dependents. For single employees, unlimited replacements are available for the employee, parents, and parents dependents. Although the blood is replaced, King pointed out that the replacement does not cover the processing fee for col lecting, testing, and preparing the blood for use by the patient. “We get a number of requests for blood replacements,” noted King. We have had requests ranging from one to fifty two pints. The Blood Center always responds to our requests in a timely fashion,” continued King. This drive completed our blood drive in the four Clinton Weaving Plants for 1990. King noted that statistics show only about 3% of the general population are blood donors. “That’s a small number to support the numerous requests for the life sus taining substance,” he added. In the Lydia appeal for blood, over 100 employees responded. Clinton Mills is pleased to recognize the following employees who have given a gallon or more blood.

McDo- If you want a better place to live— that is, a beautiful America, recycling matters. Recycling the waste from pro ducts we use each day has many benefits. Recycling helps preserve our en vironment and conserves valuable natural resources, such as trees, fuel, metals and also cuts down on the amount of solid waste placed in landfills. We can preserve precious landfill space, natural resources, and in some instances, produce a second income from products we recycle. Experts say that waste disposal is one of the biggest problems facing our country. Many of the products we buy at the neighborhood shopping center are hazardous and should be handled and disposed of in the proper way. Few of us realize that swimming pool chemicals, mildew remover, solvents and degreasers, paint strippers, moth balls, drain cleaners, transmission fluid, motor oils, pesticides, fungicides, and a host of other products may con tain hazardous ingredients. Employees are urged to read the labels on hazardous products— especially those used on the outside or in the home workshop. well, Alice J. McGee, Edna M. McGee, Deborah B. Moore, Joe B.

Employees who live in an area where they use well water should be par ticularly concerned about groundwater contamination. Pouring hazardous waste down the drain puts the substances directly into the septic tanks or sewage treatment systems which cannot always remove hazard ous systems. This can lead to con tamination of ground way, even in your own back yard. The average household houses be tween 10 and 15 gallons of hazardous substances—and very few of us realize that these products may cause us per sonal body harm, ruin septic fluids, pollute ground water, and add to the burden of municipal waste treatment plants. Employees are urged to make an inventory of the items available for home, garden, or transportation use. After this is done, determine whether or not these waste products are being thrown into home garbage collection systems, dumped on the ground, poured into the drain, or left for some one to be exposed to. Let’s do our part to dispose of all wastes properly! John W. Grant, Jr, Thomas J. Harris, Dennis R. Hostetler, Mary H. Howell, Norman D. Irby, John T. lusti, Russell L. lusti, James F.

INDUSTRY (Continued from page 2) However, it is also the industry’s responsibility to make sure that schools are graduating students with basic reading, writing and math skills. The textile industry is also providing its employees with a drug-free workplace, thanks to industry-wide pre employment drug testing procedures. In addition, textile employees work with “the best equipment money can buy.” The industry invests some $2 billion annually in new plants and equipment. As a result, productivity is increasing at 4 percent a year, better than the average for all manufacturing. Although the industry remains alert to new export opportunities, imports are already carving up the U.S. textile and apparel market, and they could easily overwhelm us in a few years, eliminating thousands of U.S. jobs in the process. To work toward import control, the textile industry is pressing for a global quota on imports that would tie their growth to the growth of the U.S. market. Textile trade legislation being considered in Congress would provide such a global quota. In addition, the U. S. government is engaged in interna tional negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, involving textiles, apparel and other trade issues. Hazardous Household Wastes Are We Handling Them Properly?
