MEET YOUR SUPERVISOR die caster of the month
"Surry County
born and Surry
County bred,"
Victor Arrington,
supervisor of the
Knitting Depart
ment of Plant #2
in Mt. Airy, never
found a place he
liked better in
which to live and
work--even though
World War II took
him far and wide. Vic Arrington
He was born on a farm in Surry
County on December 31, 1926, and
attended Westfield School in Westfield,
N. C. , near Mt. Airy. Shortly after
leaving school, he entered the Army
for a two-year period, fourteen months
of which were served in Germany.
Upon his release from army duty in
1945, Vic went to work for Granite
Hosiery, now Adams-Millis Corpora
tion's plant #2. After working as a
knitter for approximately three years,
he was promoted to fixer and then to
head fixer. From there, it was but a
short step to the position of third-shift
supervisor, then second-shift and,
finally, first-shift supervisor, in
which capacity he directs all opera
tions in the Knitting Department.
In 1948, Victor Arrington married
Miss Ella Robertson, of Cana, Vir
ginia. They have two children: Michael
Edward, age 11, and Deborah Lynn,
age 5. They live at 1386 Gwynwood
Drive in Mt. Airy and are members of
Westfield Friends Church, where Vic
is president of the Young Adults' Sun
day School Class.
His hobbies are golfing and bowl
ing.
This month, we take pleasure in
saluting Cirl Byrd, Jr. as "Die Caster
of the Month. " Cirl has been with
Southern Die Casting since October 22,
1963. He has proven to be reliable,
honest, willing to cooperate and under
stand any problem that arises, and he
is always striving to improve.
A graduate of Faison High School,
Cirl is married and lives with his wife,
Ada Ruth, and two children at 18 Hunt
ington Street in Thomasville. He
attends Parson Grove Baptist Church
where he is a member of the church
choir.
It is a pleasant fact that you will
know no man long, however low in the
social scale, however poor, miser
able, intemperate and worthless he
may appear to be, a mere burden to
society, but you will find at last that
there is something which he under
stands and can do better than any other.
Henry David Thoreau
