HOSIERY MILLS INCQRPORATEO HIGH POINT. NORTH CAROLINA MEL-ROSE-GLEN THE VOICE OF MELROSE AND GLENN MILLS Volume 5 MELROSE HOSIERY MILLS HIGH POINT, N. C., FEBRUARY ISSUE, 1949 (Seamless nnd Full Fashion Plants) [ ^ ’ GLENN HOSIERY MILLS (Infants* and Misses’ Goods) No. 5 It's A Joke Son! (The followinjr is taken from Charley Jones’ Famous “LAUGH BOOK.” It is copyright material and used with the special permis sion of Charley Jones). Page Peeping Tom 1 heard of a father of twins. Ho was puzzled as to how to tell them apart. He could not cut their hair differently. They had no hair. Fi nally he hit on an idea. Their names were tatooed on their backs. The names ? Oh, yes, Daisy and Kill. —A.C., St. Paul, Minn. A La Carte A gusher-rich Texan took a par ty of friends to a swanky Dallas hotel in order to celebrate his new ly found riches. The French menu, however, buffaloed him complete ly. “Bologna, to that thing,” he said irritably to the menu-holding waiter. “Just bring us a hundred dollars worth of ham and eggs.'' —C.C.S., Huntsville, Texas The police recently arrested a teen age youth in a nudist colony. The bare facts of the case are these—he was a mere stripling. A.J., Middlebury, Conn. She: “I went to Don’s party last night. I sure enjoyed myself.” Other She: “Too bad you couldn’t have enjoyed the partv too.” —E.L.J., St. Joseph, Mo. S250.00 AWAKD ABRAHAM LINCOLN, born Feb. 12, said— “Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has plant ed in us. Our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as (he heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.” Money is filthy lucre, and money talks; ii'jost huIs like tu lister, to dirt. Notice to our circulation depart ment. “Dear Sir: My subscription runs out Aug. 26. Kindly expire. Thanking you in haste.” —G.A.P., Los Angeles, Calif. Charles Atlas, Jr. Little David came running to his father with a shout of tri umph. “Look Daddy, I pulled up this cornstalk all by myself.” His father patted him on the back and said, “What a strong boy you are.” “Sure,” responded the little fel low, “—and the whole world had hold of the other end!” —D.G.K., San Francisco, Calif. EGGS LEAD FEBRUARY PLENTIFUL LIST Upswinging production has pushed eggs to the top of the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s February list of plentiful foods. The flush production season for fresh eggs is now here, USDA re ports, and if eggs follow the cus tomary seasonal pattern, prices will continue down as supplies go up. A second high protein food, chees^), is close to eggs as a Feb ruary plentiful. Under pressure of large wholesale stocks, prices have dropped during a period when they normally increase. Broilers will be a third plentiful on southeastern markets during the month, USDA says. With a heavy production concentrated in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland, supplies throughout the Southeast will be excellent. Fresh vegetables on the plenti ful list include Irish potatoes, cab bage, carrots, spinach, and onions, while fresh and processed citrus fruits and winter pears qualify for fi’uit plentifuls. The canned corn pack for 1948 set a record, USDA reports, to assure consumers a larger than normal supply for this time of the yi-ar. In ad.lition to r*r.vn. markets will offer good supplies of canned peas and cranberries. Dried beans and peas, and dried prunes and raisins are on the plentiful list foi' February, as are fish, corn and oat products, honey, pecans, and peanut butter. A WORTHY THOUGHT I recuperate much faster when I go home after a hard day at work, if I feel that 1 have worked this day for “others” just a little harder than for myself. QUALITY INSPECTION The entire mill is quality con scious. Foremen report that oper ators ask more questions and show more concern than ever known. The cli.'U't below indicates how su pervision is “going after” the facts. It bliows hov/ each style runs through the mill, how each style compares with all other styles. It shows WHERE the work is running good or bad. This chart shows up on supervisors’ desks each two weeks.

Occasionally there is an emergen cy call and a worker cannot be located. TESTED TIPS FOR WINTER DRIVING! 1. FIND OUT how slippery it is when starting out by stepping on the brakes lightly or “gunning” the motor; 2. Get the “feel” of the road and adjust speed to conditions. Passing requires changing direction, accel erations, braking—all dangerous on slippery surfaces; Stay well back of other vehi cles and slow down well ahead of intersections, curves, and down- giades; 4. Use tire chains on snow or ice; they help braking up to fifty per cent; 5. Keep windshield and windows clear; defrosters and wipers in working order; 0. Pump the brakes when you stop—locked brakes will throw you into a skid; 7. Even in the cold, use hand signals — unexpected maneuvers can bring disaster by surprising the other fellow. 8. Don’t lower tire pressure— more danger of skid—no appreci able benefit; 6. Good tires better than smooth on dry or wet pavements, but chains better on snow or ice be cause they bite in; 10. Keep steady foot on gas pedal —even the sudden compression c.'used by letting up on the gas cai cause a skid; 1j. Best way to control a skid is not ^o have one, but if you do, and rooni allows, pull in direction of the si- ’ Skilled drivers, with sen sitive .ceering wheel hands, can sense a sV' at the start tnd even it up; 12. Start in .“''or.i gear on ice. I'hia-lu,ii'sjtiiuii'.ig ol w'liefis and pos:;ible slide to one side. A REMINDER IF AND WHEN YOU MOVE, you should notify the Personnel Office. Because this was not done, many employees did not receive income tax returns as promptly as they would have received them. From time to time it is necessary to have home addresses. Please help keep list accurate and up-to-date. Deranged p"’tients in a well known mental institution have been designing women’s hats. This confirms our long-standing sus picion. —C.W.W., Philadelphia, Penn. An old man marrying a young girl is like buying a new car when you can’t drive. (Continued on page 4) F rank McDaniel has been awarded a $250.00 bond for a sug gestion to improve product on a knitting machine. This award illustrates the fact ' hat ideas pay off at Melrose. In keeping with the company pro gram to IMPROVE QUALITY- LOWER COST there must be other suggestions that alert minds could turn in for consideration. The idea may seem unimpor- t-^nt. As it stands it may not have much possibility. Talk it over with vour foreman and ask for his help. Sometimes a “seed” idea can grow into large proportions when ac tive, interested minds take hold of it . Who knows more about a job than the man who works on it? Look about. There may be some routine way of doing a thing, some customary way of routing goods that could be improved. Look for opportunities to IMPROVE QUALITY—LOWER COST.
