With the number increasing hourly, those Missourians who now recall having gone to school with Harry Truman may in time outnumber the ancestors aboard tlic Mayflower. W'hy men buy hats: A survey reveals that only 9 per cent of the men buy a hat be cause of style changes—48 per cent because friend wife politely hints that it’s about time he had a new one. AMONG THE newer projects of the local Chest are the colored YMCA and YWCA. Pictured above are some boys playing volleyball on the playground sponsored by the colored YMCA. Approximately 900 persons are fatally shot each year in hunting mishaps the National Safety Council reports. This is one-third of those accidcntallv killed bv firearms. It’s a Servicemen’s paper, the Sourdough Sentinel, that says a first sergeant may not have many friends but he certainly can influ ence a lot of people. About the only place a person can find to sleep in some of the big war-industry cities today is in the barber chair while get ting a shave. Twenty-five thousand fingers were per manently injured during 1944, the National Safety Council estimates. Now it's an entire nation that learns that crime does not pay. Eighteen per cent of home accident fatalities were children under fi\e years of age during 1944, reports the National Safety Council. A woman is a person who can hurry through a drugstore aisle 18 inches wide without brushing against the piled up tin ware, and then drive home and knock the doors off a 12-foot garage. State reports to the National Safety Coun cil show that 17 per cent of all drivers in volved in fatal accidents had been drinking, and that 20 per cent of all adult pedestrians killed had been drinking. LARGE TRUCK FLEET CARRIES ”BUR-MILL” TRADEMARK Trucking on down the avenue—75 blue and white “Bur-Mil” trucks keep the roads humming to drive between two and three million miles making contact with each of the forty-four Burlington Mills plants on a regular schedule. Like the old pony express and its modern counterpart in the gi gantic overland-transport syst^ii of to day, the “Bur-Mil” trucking division operates on a twenty-four hour round tlie cl()^:k, blizzard or heat wave, sched ule to nio\'C supplies and yarn where and when needed within the Com- pany. ^ Greatest in bulk shipment ;'re the millions of pounds of yarns brought in from rayon producers such as Celanesc, Viscose, 'I’ennessee-Eastman, Enka and DuPont located from Cumberland, Maryland, to Kingsport, 'I'ennessee, and down to Asheville, North Caro lina. Hauling its own yarns direct from the source helps assure the Com pany of a steady yarn supply unhamp ered by possible holdups in public freight systems. Second in importance possibly arc the beams which the trucks transport from one plant to another for final wca\ing after liaving been warped in the preparatory department of another plant. Or it may be yarns for filling thrown in a throwing unit and used in wca\'ing crepe fabrics in the weave plants. But in separate items, the trucks carry more supplies from the Main Warehouse at Burlington, N. C. than anything else—a million pounds of size, machinery parts, (nuts, bolts, and reed hooks), oils, bulletin boards, and all regular office and production sup plies were distributed by truck last year. Safety conscious as well as quick moving, twenty-six drivers completed the last trucking year with at least 12 months on the road without an acci dent. This is more than half of all the drivers. 'I’wo dri\’crs have a five- year accidentless record and eight oth ers have four years with a perfect rec ord. Begun in 1937, the Trucking De partment under the direction of David A. I’iske who continued supervision on its activities, has grown from its 10 original trucks to its present fleet of j 75, ele\ cn of which were purchased in the past two years. J. B.
