GORDON, Foreman Bleaching, Dyeing, Cloth Finishing, Towel Mill the character Sometimes on television or in a movie we see somebody playing “Russian Roulette” with a pistol. He spins the cylinder, places the revolver to his temple and pulls the trigger. Usually nothing happens. The idea is that “taking a chance.” Five of the chambers in the cylinder are empty and the sixth is supposed to contain a live cartridge. When playing Russi an Roulette he is gambling with death with the odds one in six that he will be killed. Silly, isn’t it? Nobody we know would be foolish enough vo luntarily to take such a chance. None of us would willingly take such a chance with death even if the odds were much greater in our favor. Yet, on the job, some persons fool ishly or without thinking will on oc casion run the risk of serious injury. Many times they are able to get by without an accident but if they con tinue such an unsafe practice, sooner or later they are bound to be injured. In order to eliminate such chance- taking, we have to remain on the alert and recognize the possible consequences of any unsafe act we commit or any unsafe habit we develop. We must learn the correct way to perform our jobs and never deviate from our safe practices. Only in this way can injuries caused by chance- taking be prevented. V V E. II. Gordon Christmas Greens Do you know that it was once con sidered unlucky to put up Christmas greens before Christmas Eve? This in formation comes to us from the Ameri can Peoples Encyclopedia who also tells us that, although the Christmas season is usually considered to end with Twelfth Night, January 6, some people prolong it to Candlemas Day, February 2. Honest ? In a Tyler, Texas drug store, the customers wait on themselves, keep their own accounts and make their own change. Been doing it for 20 years and, says Prop. W. E. Holmes, “in all that time I don’t know of one case of dishonesty.” WHISTLB ^ Issued Every Other Monday For E®*'* ployees and Friends of Fieldcrest Inc., Spray, North Carolina.
