I 8 Will Williams Has Outstanding Record Of 30 Years’ Work Will Williams, pi:ker operator at the Sheeting Mill, has worked on the same job, same shift, for more than 30 years. He observed his 30th anniversary of continuous service August 17. He was given his job by L. C. Sumner, who was carding night foreman for many years. Will worked several years with the late Jess Minter as assistant fore man in the carding department. Inter estingly enough, the assistant foreman on Will’s shift now is George Minter, son of Jess Minter. Will is a native of Virginia. He has a son living in New York and a daugh ter who lives in Philadelphia. A brother, John Leonard Williams, who formerly worked in the Shipping and Receiving Department at Draper, when the late Ben Seay was foreman, now lives m New York. Will Williams has owned his home across the river from Draper for many years. In addition to his work at the mill, he does light farming, principally grain and tobacco. He has been driving the same A-Mcdel coupe to work since 'A i / r—^ WILL WILLIAMS 1930, although he admits now that he has his eye on “a ’50 Ford.” His record is exceptional in that in all of his 30 years he has never been off the payroll for any reason nor has he had a lost-time accident. Supervisors who have known him for years estim ated that he had never lost over one day a year from work due to sickness dur ing the entire 30 years of service. He knows his pickers “from one end to the other” and is very dependable and con scientious in his work. His associates described him as friend ly, cheerful, easy to get along with, and as “one of the best.” He has never been known to have any trouble with any one on the job during his entire 30 years. “100 PERCENTERS PICNIC”:—Mem bers of the Carolina Council and the Junior Carolina ouncil who had perfect attendance for the 1949-50 Council year attended the “hundred percenters” pic nic at Meadow Greens Country Club Saturday afternoon, August 19.
