FINISHING MILL NEWS
(By Rebecca Barnard)
We’re glad to see Clyde Fulcher back

weeks.
We have a nice report from recent
vacationers:
Roy Thompson spenx a week at home
with the exception of one day when he
took a shot at a few Virginia squirrels.
Mr. and Mrs. George Kilner and
daughter, Anne, motored to Manhattan,
Kansas, where they visited Mr. Kilner’s

They were accompanied to Kentucky

Ratliff. Frances visited her sister and
brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie

Mrs. Roy Hayes at Campbellsville, Ky.
Mr. and Mrs. George Kilner spent two
nights in St. Louis, Mo., with Mrs.
Mary Gassaway, former Fieldcrest em
ployee, who will be remembered here
as Miss Mary Atkins.
Walter Atkinson hasn’t returned from
his vacation but we hear that he’s do
ing some farming in a big way.
It was nice to have Charlie Brown,
retired Blanket Sewing employee, and
S. S. Dodson, retired shop employee,
visiting at the mill recently.
We have had many visitors in our
mill this year but this time the tables
were turned when a group from the
Finishing Mill Cost Department and
Central Warehouse Office visited the
DuPont Plant in Martinsville last Fri
day night.
Welcome to Dorothy Andrews, new
employee in the Supply Room. Also,
we’re glad to see “Dal” Troxler back

LATE SUN BATHER:—Another of
Autumn’s sad notes is that it marks the
passing of the bathing suit season.
Probably our last such picture for 1950
is the one above which shows Emma
Borden of the Bedspread Winding Dept,
who took advantage of September’s
warmer days for sun bathing. Yes, that’s
a Fieldcrest beach towel—made in Fiel-
dale. A former employee of the Woolen
Mill, Mrs. Borden has worked at Bed
spread for the past four years. She oper
ates the Schweiter Winder on the
second shift.
