Hillcrest Safety Committee Holds First Meeting Hillcrest’s newly organized Safety Conniiittec held its first monthly meet ing on Monday, March 17 at the plant to set forth its goals for the coming vear. ^ At the first meeting a discussion was held stressing the need of such a com mittee, Pnijjhasis was placed on the tl'.ought that al> employees take pride in working at a safe jjlant, and that with the concentration of this group and all employees, Hillcrest can at tain an outstandi'Jt safety record. 'I’he 3 lost-time accidcnCs of the past year were reviewed and it was pointed out that 9 “Bur-Mil” plants operated in 1946 without a lost-time accident. The purjxjscs of the Safety Commit tee were established as follows: 1. Review and discuss causes and re sults of accidents. 2. Spreiid safety thinking. 3. Report unsafe conditions. 4 Conduct regular Good House keej)ing and Safety Inspections. 5. Study the best methods of ac cident prevention. 6. Make recommendations for im provenients. The members of the Safety Com mittee for the next four months are as follows; Ethel Dillinger, Fred Kerr, Clada Cashatt, Dennis Hutchens, Ted W'ilkes, Everette 'I’owerv, John Trot ter, Clayton Meredith, Lawrence Combs, and ,\nne Garrett. These mem bers will welcome any constructive siifet\' suggestions, so if you have one talk it over with one of the members. PICTURED ABOVE is Glenn Wayne Jones, soti of Cary Jones, High Point Weaving Shop, who re cently celebrated his first birthday. Keep W-2 Forms Up To Date Employees are reminded to report to the office all dependency changes as soon as such changes in status occur. Information will be recorded on govern ment \\'-2 forms, basis for deducting income tax payments and which af^ feets directly the amount of money withheld. If too much or too little money is deducted each pay day be cause of incorrect dependency informa tion, the difference will finally be ac counted for through treasury refunds or further Diiling. However, this metliou defeats the purpose of the pay-as-you-go individual income tax plan, and is an inconvenience to the individual tax payer. Industrial Accidents Steadily Declining A survey shows that while the pub lie accident rate is constantly increas ing, the industrial accident rate is steadily declining, owing to effective safety programs. In 1946, nearly twice as many peo ple — 34,000 — were killed in their homes as were fatalities in industry. A Bit of Poetry I’d Rather Have A Friend A lot of folks I know would choose A million bucks to spend. But if I had to make my choice, I’d rather have a friend. Oh, spending money nia>' be fun. And mighty well worth trying, 3ut spending time with someone nice Is much more satisfying. Some people think that fame must be Life’s greatest dividend. But, give me, if I have my choice, A faithful, life-long friend. P’or fame and money get awa\. And leave you high and stranded; But once you’ve found a real true friend You’re never eni]5ty handed. I Wonder If I could hear my conversation Repeated at the end of day. Would it make to me a difference In saying what I say? Would I talk about that person W hom I claim to be my friend? W’ould I say that fatal sentence Bringing friendship to and end? If I could hear as others hc-ar me, If I could see myself as you, 1 wonder if there’’d be a difference In doing what I do? DO YOU KNOW? Even though March 15 has passed, income tax is still uppermost in all our minds and the American Wool and Cotton Reporter magazine this month add a tinieh' word to the whole mat ter. •\ $1,500 a year man, with a family of two children. pa« no federal in come tax. \ $2,500 a yeaf'man, with family of two children, pays $95 federal in come tax. A $3,000 a yea;- ma-i, v.ith family of two children, pays $190 federal in come tax. A $5,000 a year '^1, with family of two children, pavs^|^89 federal in come tax. A $10,000 a year man, with family of two children, pays $1,862 federal income tax. ,\ $50,000 a year man, with family of two children, pays $24,111 federal income tax. A $1,000,000 a vear man, with family of two children, pays $838,850 federal income tax. And on tope of these federal taxes the taxpayer must pay state income .axes in most states which further greatlv reduces the amount he has left after Uncle Sam gets his. Ladies Night Highlight of Overseer^s Club The officers of the High Point W'eaving Overseers Club did them selves a good job Friday night, March 14 when they planned and presented the program for the club members ind their wives at a banquet held in ;he Archdale Friends Church. Ihe food, which always makes the part\', really played an important role in making the party a success and he women of the church deserve com mendation for the preparation and serving of the dinner. X'estal Palmer, office manager and president of the o\-erseers club, acted ^s master of ceremonies and started the program with a few appropriate -emarks of welcome to the guests and hen, in turn, introduced L. C. Eas- er, plant superintendent; I. Spen- :er, plants manager, and R. L. Phillips, iuperintendent of throwing. Each guest was introduced by M. V. W'ells. personnel supervisor, and pre sented a pair of nylons as a favor from the club. Entertainment was furnished by Harold Harrison, local humorist and radio comedian. Ilis program of jokes, humor, and imitations was well re ceived by the party. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING If you could build a dream house, What style and where would you build? and garage beside of house,” says Jackie Brown. “That is truly my dream house.” Florence Luther — Hillcrest redraw er: "I w'ould like to build a home in Florida. As for the style, it would pos sibly be a bungalow, although styles change so rapidly, I will probabh' have to change it when my day comes.” Gray Wall — Hillcrest spinner: “That dream house would be a brick house with a mirrored interior and Jeer skin rugs on the floor. I’d build .n an oak grove with a stream lined .\ith rocks running back of the house — not to forget a horse shoe dri\ e around he house.” Melvin Rcaeh — Hillcrest: “Let nit have a Spanish style house in New vlexico.” Ernest Luck — Hillcrest: "I would juild in High Pcint since it is m) icine town, and it would i^robabh' be I nice cozy bungalow.” Joyce Tayl ,r - I iillcrest winder: 'Give me a v„olon.al style home witl. 1 large green la.ui, a fish pond, aiic 1 barbecue |3it in the back. Eldorado, N. C., would be my building spot.” “Vickey”^ Michael — Hillcrest re drawer: “Aly style of a dream house would be a brick modern house high in the hills of W'estern North Caro lina (with Bob, naturally!). It must have lots of windows across the front to view the mountains and a big fire place to make it cozy.” Log cabin — rock foundation and chimne>', big v\indows of half logs, hardwood flooring, wood range, 6 rooms, breakfast and bath, basement, knotted pine walls and ceiling, antique furniture, light fixtures, wagon wheels, large fireplace, and one floor is Janies Peace’s idea of a dre-am home. “Building my dream house, I would build in the northeast section of town. I would build a six-room brick “hol- brook” with basement and beautiful landscaped lawn. The house would consist of living room, three bed rooms. dining room, kitchen and bath “Spanish house in Hawaii on large acreage of land at base of Diamond Head Mountain,” says Lois Roach. “Bungalow style on outer edge of |-own with white fence and climbing oses. \'ery attractive law'n with blow- ng flowers and shrubbery,” says Edith I hompson. Charlie Doby says, “with the trou Sle I’ve had with the housing problem br the past year, any house would be a ream house, built any place, and if he readers disagree, let them go hrough what I did trying to find even 1 room\- piano box.” “My dream house,” says Glenn Vlorris, “is an>- three or four room ,lat furnished or unfuri\*shed; however. I am looking for something a bit larger ;nd cozier than a fox hole in the fu- :ure.” “My ide;i of a dream house is either 1 mansion or a shant\- with ])lent\' of lappine.ss thrown in,” .says Taft Hen- lerson. “My dream house is anything with loniething in it to come home to,” de- .'lares Sam Neal. “My dream home will be a 6 room brick bungalow with large w'indows. I’he only porch will be a sun porch. The li\ing room will be a long low -■eiliiig room with a large open fire place. The dining room will open from he living room with an arch, llie ;itchen will be a large room with ouilt-iii cabinets and dinette space. 1 he two bedrooms have large closets •vitli bathroom between. 'Ihe extra 00111 will cither be used as a den or uirser\- (the latter, I hope), with a arge lawn in front and’^^ping at the jack with a real running brook. This s my dream home now but I’m hop- ng it to be a reality in the very near uture.” Dead Right A grave digger was hard at work. As he shoveled each spadeful of dirt, he became more absorbed in his own thoughts and before he knew it, he had dug the grave so deep he couldn’t get out. Came night and with the eve ning chill, his predicament became more and more uncomfortable. He shouted for help and at last attracted the attention of a drunk. “Get me out of here,” he shouted, “I’m cold.” The drunk looked in the grave and said, “No wonder. 'I’hey forgot to ))ut any dirt on you.” ^® The Preacher w'cnt to sec a colored woman who was ninety-nine years old. He asked her how she had li\ed so long; she .said well Brother, when I walk. I walk slow. When I eat, 1 eat ^ heap and when I sets down to worry I just natchcrly goes to sleep. W ife: “W'ell, what excuse have you 'or coming in this timejjsf night?” Hubb\-: “W^ell. my dCa>, I was play- ng golf with some friends and ” W'ife: “W'hat? .\t 2 A. \L?” Hubby: “Sure. W'e were using night jlubs.” “And what did Mania’s little baby earn in school today?” “I learned two little fellas not to .■all me 'Mama’s little baby’!” • “Now tell the court how you aime o take the car.” “Well, it was parked in front of the ;enietery. Naturally, I thought the jwner was dead.” Street-car Passenger: “M a d a m, would you like to have iny strap? ” Lady: "No, thanks, I have one.” Passenger: “I’hen, would you mind letting go of my necktie?” In Midst of Planning . . .
