Chath ani Blanketeer Vol. 6 AUGUST 5, 1940 No. 16 Parking Problem Is Solved; Mill Fenced T. C. U. CLUB HEARS TALK Rev. Stephen Morrisett, Pastor of First Baptist Church Here, Is Guest Speaker On Monday evening, July 22, the T. C. U. club members en joyed a very interesting talk by Rev. Stephen Morrisett, pastor of the First Baptist church of Elkin. The speaker described and il lustrated one by one the instru ments which compose a sym phony orchestra. The illustra tions were given by use of record ings of each instrument. Rev. Morrisett, who has just recently assumed the duties of pastor at the Baptist church, was introduced to the club by Lawyer E. C. James. He was welcomed to this community by Russell Bur- cham, president of the club. Another interesting but unique program was enjoyed by the club members on Monday evening, July 29. The program was of a “Take It or Leave It” nature. The contestants chosen from among the club members were asked a group of questions. With each question answered a prize was given. The contestant could either take or leave the prize, but if he left it and answered the next question the prize was doubled, etc. During the business session it was announced that the club will in the near future sponsor a pub lic dance, the proceeds of which will go to the welfare fund of the club. MAKES TRIP ON S. S. AMERICA Mr. Chatham was one of the three men from North Carolina who were privileged to make the first voyage of the S. S. America which sailed from Norfolk, Va., August 27, to New York and back. Mr. Chatham reports that the ship is beautiful and best of all is equipped with Chatham blankets. BASEBALL SCHEDULE FOR THE COMING WEEK August 4: Hillsville at Hillsville. August 9: Landis at Elkin. August 10; Hanes Knitters at Elkin. August 11: Hillsville at Elkm. Roy Boles, the star pitcher of the Blanketeer baseball team has joined a Burlington, N. C., base ball club. We hated to see him go, but wish for him much suc cess. With the checks Friday went a little notice to each employee which gave a list of new parking rules. This has come about with the completiion of the fence which encloses the entire plant. For many years the parking sit uation has been hard to combat. There have been so many auto mobiles and no place to park. New parking lots have been com pleted in front of the Woolen de partment and the Finishing de partment. Employees will please comply with the rules handed to them. Each person will have to be mindful of the other fellow. Re member the person behind you might be in just as big a hurry as yourself. Employees are requested to park in the lots designated to them, and to park as near the curbs as possible. Also to ob serve the one-way drives that have been constructed in front of the Woolen department. All cars, with the exception of officials, office employees and visitors, will use the parking lots outside the fence. Let’s suggest a few don’ts for the use of everyone. Don’t double park; the road is not wide enough for this. (Continued on Page Six) TESTS ARE GIVEN MILL EMPLOYEES County Health Department Nurse Tests for Tuberculosis; To Return August 6 Mrs. Lettie J. Simpson, R. N., of the Surry County Health De partment, was in our First Aid Room all day Tuesday giving the tubercular test to all who desired to take advantage of this oppor tunity. She will be here again Tuesday, August 6th, from nine to five o’clock for the benefit of those who did not take the test the past Tuesday. Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity. Mr. Chatham has graciously given $500 to the county health department toward the purchas ing of an X-ray machine to aid in the county work of combatting this disease. This is the first time the coun ty nurse has come to us, and we should take advantage of the opportunity to have this test made. The county health department is open each Thursday in the City Hall. Dr. R. B. C. Franklin and Mrs. Simpson are in charge. X-rays will be made the week of August 19th at the county health office in Elkin.
