Oakland plant
employee dies
J. P. Cleveland of Newberry
was fatally injured shortly af
ter 8 a.m. Thursday in a freak
accident at The Kendall Com
pany’s Oakland Plant.
Newberry County Coroner
George Summer said Cleveland
was “dead-on-arrival” at the
Newberry County Memorial Hos
pital.
According to Hart Jordan,
plant manager, the accident oc
curred when Cleveland and a
group of fellow employees were
preparing to unload a car of
cotton containing 131 bales.
Cleveland was standing on a
platform below the car door,
Jordan said, and his fellow em
ployees were standing on the
platform above.
“When the car door was open
ed, one of the bales that ap
parently had shifted out of po
sition during transit from Cali
fornia fell from the car and
either fell on top of Cleveland
or struck him after hitting the
upper level platform,” Jordan
said.
One of the co-workers appa
rently saw the bail of cotton
fall and is reported to have
shouted, “Look out, Bud.”
Cleveland had been employed
at the Oakland Plant since No
vember of 1967. He was 49
years of age and is survived
by his wife, Louise.
“Cleveland was a very va
lued employee and was very
popular with his fellow work
ers,” commented Jordan. “He
was a fine worker, trustworthy
and reliable. The accident is
most regretable.”
Jordan said this is the first
fatal accident he has encount
ered in the 45 years he has been
with The Kendall Company.
“To my knowledge,” he said,
“it is thp first fatal accident
that has ever happened at The
Oakland Plant involving an' em
ployee.”

THE FOLLOWING-
PROGRAM IS BROUGHT
TOYOU IN LIVING
COLOR.
Does your television set
keep promising color but
showing you black and white?
The truth about a lot of TV sets is that they
don t live up to their promises.
After all, very few things in the world are
either all black or white. So maybe you
shouldn t keep something in your house that
insists they are
Maybe you should see us for a loan. You
can get one at any one of our offices. For
practically anything
Which not only means you can get a TV
set that tells the truth It means you can get one
that shows it, too.
