Two Week Ends Sive 9 Days Vacation Time All plants will close at the end of tha work day on July 2 for the annual summer vacation, it was announced las-t week. W^ork will not be resumed until Monday, July 12, at 7 a. m. So, if you haven’t planned your vacation as yet it is time to do so. If you are thinking about going to some resort area, remember that thousands of other people will be taking a July 4 holiday and reser vations should be made as soon as possible. For those who will be planning fun in Noiith Carolina’s own “va riety vacationland,” we suggest you write the Travel Bureau, De partment of Conservation and De velopment, at Raleigh, for infor mation on the area you are think ing about. The bureau also will be glad to send you a booklet con taining good places to stay and a calendar of events for the time and area in which you are inter ested. Perhaps you hope to see one or more of the famous outdoor dramas now being produced in this state. A visit to either of the five will carry you through beautiful scenery and into areas where other recreation is available. All the dramas will be open during Anvil Brand’s vacation week. The oldest is “The Lost Colony, produced in a waterside theater on Roanoke Island, site of the first English settlement and birth place of Virginia Dare. The drama is now entering its 14th season. “Unto These Hills” is produced on the Cherokee Indian reserva tion at the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the story of white man’s in humanity to red men and has been an outstanding success since its opening during the summer of 1950. Three other annual dramas have been introduced since the Cherokee play opened. They are “Thunder- land,” near Asheville; “Horn in the West,” at Boone, and a his torical play given at Kings Moun tain. Be it coast or mountains, North Carolina has both scenery and fa cilities that will stack up favorable with that to be found anywhere. Some helpful hints to aid you in your vacation were discovered recently by Sew It Seams. Try to avoid leaving, if driving by car, during the Saturday morning rush hour, 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., and avoid arriving back home during the evening rush hours, 5 to 7 p. m. on Friday and 5 to 9 p. m. on Sunday. Remember that the “no va cancy” signs start going up at motels about 5 p. m. It’s hest to plan on stopping well before that time to avoid being disappointed. Of course you’ll want to check your car V before starting — bat tery, tires, fan belt (and if you’re driving most of your vacation, take an extra fan belt along), brakes, lights, windshield wipers, and radiator. Have the car lubri cated before you start. Women traveling alone may want to ask the Carolina Motor Club here about joining an automobile club in case of car trouble. Before leaving clean range, re frigerator and sink. Leave oven door open. Disconnect refrigerator and leave door open. Dispose of perishable foods. Store non-perish able foods in covered glass or' metal containers. Wash empty cannisters and leave open to air. Cover exposed dishes to protect them from dust. If you’re bothered by kitchen pests your absence is a good time to leave the house sprayed and closed up tightly. Close fireplace damper. Trust growing plants to a neighbor. Re move all soiled clothing which might become musty in hamper. Store your valuables in a safe place. Shut off gas range pilot light and turn off non-automatic water heater. Unplug all electric appliances. Leave an extra key and vacation address with a neigh bor or relative. Notify dairy, newspaper, laundry, cleaner, and other deliveries to discontinue sei-vice for your vacation period. Cancel all regular appointments. Ask post office to hold your mail, or forward it if desired. Pay all urgent bills. Clean out all trash and garbage from the house and yard. Notify police you’ll be away if you want your premises to ba watched. Ask telephone company for vacation rates. Check your auto driver’s license for date of expiration and your insurance cov erage. Lock all windows and doors. While the actual plant vacation is July 5-9, the two week ends will actually give you 9 days- free from work. Have a good time! Today’s Safety Slogan: Watch Out for School Children — Espe cially if They’re Driving Cars! In Memoriam Thomas Wood, who for many years headed the ship ping operations at the Sher rod division, was killed in an automobile accident near Greensboro on May 29. He had been with Sherrod for over 25 years, having started as a helper in the sewing room but soon transferred into shipping and stock room work. We all wish to express our deepest sympathy to his wife, Doris Pike Wood, who works in the Sherrod sewing room. Besides his wife, he is sur vived by one daughter, Syl via, who is married and is living in Ohio. Morgan Talks To College Students Reitzel Morgan, who heads An vil Brand’s engineering depart ment (a crew that is as busy as bees in the Spring), spoke to Pro fessor Richard Dale’s Industrial Management class at High Point College on .May 17. The class is made up of juniors and their interest in Reitzel’s sub ject was indicated by the numer ous questions they popped at him after his lecture. He explained the engineering procedures at An vil Brand and answered questions on the company’s industrial man agement depai'tments. Reitzel related some of the prac tical problems that are encoun tered in indusitrial engineering, quoting some of his o'wn so-called “pitfalls” during the days when engineering was new at Anvil Brand. FREE SWIM LESSONS — To take advantage of the free swimming lessons being offered at City Lake this summer you should contact eithei' Bob Ousley or Nick Fisher at the pool. An “assembly line” method of teaching makes it possible to register at any time and some members of the Anvil Brand family may want to take advantage of the program during vacations next month. Beginners, intermediates, and advanced groups get instruction from 10 to 11 a. m. A second ses sion for advanced swimmers is at 5 p. m. From 11 a. m. to 1 p. m., junior life saving is taught and advanced diving instruction is at 2 p, m.
