Kendall Profits Off In 52; Oakland Expansion Set MISS RUTH BLACKWELDER, teacher in i.enoir-Rhyne College at Lenoir, North Carolina, spent last weekend in the home of M_rs. H. L. Pair and Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Baker on E. Main street. Consolidated net profits of The Kendall Company and its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries for 1952 were $4,488,000, compared with $5,202,000 in 1951, Richard R. Hig gins, President, reported to stock holders today. The Company op erates 17 domestic and foreign plants, including the Mollohon and Oakland Mills at Newberry, S. C. Despite the unfavorable condi tions prevailing in the first eight months, net sales in 1952 of $94,- 223,000 were only slightly lower than the record high of $96,580,000 established in 1951. Unit volume in 1952 was higher than in the prior year, with the principal in creases in consumer surgical dressings and allied products. Net working capital at the end of 1952 amounted to $24,919,000 as com pared to $23,443,000 at the close of 1951. Dividend payments on the Com pany’s common stock totaled to $2.25 per share as compared to $2.50 per share in 1951. Capital outlays of $1,795,000 were made during the year to pro expenditures of about $2,500,000 are currently planned for 1953. Commenting on the outlook, Mr. Higgins said: “The volume of business in the early part of 1953 has been at high levels and gives promise of extending to the second quarter. Beyond that point any prediction on the trend of busi ness would be hazardous.” Tire marked underlying strength of our Company’s branded products, he concluded, is supporting evidence that a continuing high level of op eration should be possible of at tainment. During 1952 modern lighting fix tures w r ere installed in part of the Mollohon Mill. A new humidifica tion system for better working conditions and improved mill op erations was also completed there. A portion of Mollohon’s 1952 pro duction was in special cloth to be used in a bandage for the treat ment of burns in the event of atomic bomb explosions. Plans w’ere being made late in the year to further expand Oak land Mill by the installation of vide added capacity for special | additional looms to provide great- ized products and to improve and ; er weaving capacity and increas- expand research facilities.

SANDERS) Much favorable comment has been heard concerning the first broadcast of the meeting of city council over Radio Station WKDK Tuesday night. Although council meetings have been open to the public for several years, few’ citi zens have ever bothered to attend a meeting unless they were there to make a request of council, and the public generally seemed sur prised to hear the efficient man ner in which council disposed of business coming before it. One reporter, leaving after the meeting Tuesday night, said “this is the most un real council meet ing I have ever attended.” Those of us who have sat through many meetings of the city fathers knew what he meant. He was not im plying that the meeting was “re hearsed” or anything of that sort, but simply that at 7:30, council got down to business and kept going until all business w r as finish ed. The meeting ended at 9:30, an early hour for the city gover nors to complete their business. We can assure you, how'ever, that nothing was held back, nothing left out of the broadcast. Hereto fore, when discussing a subject, members of council were some time prone to wander off from one subject to another and perhaps it would be fifteen minutes before the discussion got back to the original topic. Tuesday night, Mayor Wiseman proved himself to be a very good presiding officer and saw to it that time was not needlessly wasted although each member of council had ample op portunity to express himself on any subject. The meeting Tuesday night was what might be termed an “aver age” meeting, where subject mat ter is concerned. There are times when the meetings of council are more dull; times when they are more interesting. The meeting this motnh seemed to concern it self mostly with sewer and w r ater lines, the much discussed gas sys tem and whiteway system, in the City of Newberry. A topic of interest concerning a recreational program for the youth of Newberry was brought up by Mayor Wiseman, who said that he had been wanting to introduce such a program in Newberry since he had first been elected mayor. The bond fund recently voted al lots $10,000 for the purchase of equipment and improvement of the city parks. Mayor Wiseman would like to see a director ap pointed to have charge of recrea tion in all of Newberry’s parks Personalities In The Local News MR. AND MRS. T. L. SENN and i C.
