Letters From Servicemen Dear Editor; Although I have never worked in the mills I would like for you to know how much I appreciate getting the MILL WHISTLE. I took basic training at Camp Pickett, Va. and was in Texas for a while. I have been in Korea for six months. I am working in the per sonnel section of an Engineering Com bat Battalion. The work is easy but still it’s not like being back in the States, although the news and pictures in the MILL WHISTLE help to let us know what is going on back home. I enjoy reading the news and would like to thank you again. Cpl. George W. Radford U. S. 53117709 H & S Co. 116 ECB APO 8 c/o Postmaster San Francisco, Calif. Mills’ Fiber Testing Methods Demonstrated At State College Mrs. Louise Landress, head of the Physical Testing Laboratory, recently was invited to State College where she spent a day reviewing the fiber testing techniques used by students in the Tex tile School and demonstrating fiber testing methods used by Fieldcrest. The Textile School has recently purchased new fiber testing equipment of the same type that we use. Mrs. Landress went to State at the re quest of Dame Ham by, associate profes sor at the Textile School, who with two instructors spent some time at the mills discussing with R. H. Tuttle and R. C. Tanner the qual ity control course which is being plan ned at the college this fall. While here, Professor Hamby visited our laboratory and seemingly was im pressed with our fiber testing tech niques. He subsequently had Mrs. Land ress review a manuscript which State College will publish on fiber studies and testing.

HAMRICK, Foreman, Sheeting Weave Ko« To be a good worker you must the desire, first of all, to perfoO the various phases of the job in a manner that you will be proU your accomplish ment. To do this you must do the work ef ficiently, with a minimum of lost mo tion and without waste of materials or damage to goods or equipment. In ad dition, high stand ards of quality must be maintained. The use of safe work habits equal importance. This means good worker is usually a safe W*]- and strives to eliminate all accidie and the resulting injuries. ; The practice of safe work habih a part of the job; and the person jj , is interested in his job is sincerel.'^ terested in safety.
