Members of the Fieldcrest Team V II \ JAMES BYRD . . . Towel Mill Office . . . A clerk, James Byrd performs vari- • ous duties in the Towel Mill office. He is shown as he operates the recently- installed teletype machine for commu nications between the Towel Mill and other Company locations. There are regular “openings” four times a day during which time messages are sent and received, plus special openings. Mr. Byrd assists with the billing of goods shipped to customers, keeps cot ton warehouse records and “pays off” the Carding and Spinning Depts. when weekly paychecks are distributed. He also issues bonds purchased by em ployees under the Payroll Savings Plan. By doing a variety of tasks carefully and rapidly he aids in the smooth oper ation of the office and mill and thus makes a contribution to the success of the Company. CHARLIE Z. ROBERTS . . . Finishing Plant Service . . . Charlie Z. Roberts, night watchman, makes hourly rounds through all of the mills, offices and warehouses in the central Spray area. He must be on the alert to detect fires, steam leaks, water dripping and any situations that threaten danger to personnel or dam age to gocds or equipment. He must be on the lookout for burglars, hood lums or other unauthorized persons in the buildings or on the property. He must be courteous in admitting those who have a right to enter the gates and must be firm in refusing ad mittance to persons who have no le gitimate business inside the buildings. Watchmen are chosen for their honesty and dependability and good judgment. They have a big responsibility and perform a valuable service in protect ing Company property from fire, theft and other damage or loss. FOLKS YOU KNOW Charlie Millner, car loader at the Blanket Mill, handles every roll of cloth made in the mill and shipped to the Finishing Mill by railway car. A con veyor brings the rolls up to the car from the Inspecting Dept, and Charlie, who spends all of his time inside the car, takes the rolls from the conveyor and stacks them in the boxcar. He loads, in this manner, nearly two car loads each day. A native of Rockingham county, Charlie first worked for the late Ben Seay, foreman of the yard crew, which in former years did the loading. Char lie has worked on various jobs in the Blanket and Sheeting mills since he first joined the Company in 1931. He has a good record with the Company as a hard worker and one who can be depended upon to be on the job every day. CHARLIE MILLNER Watch Children At anytime of the year children are a hazard to the motorist. Unpredict able, lacking the judgment of maturity, their presence in or near traffic de mands ceaseless care and vigilance on the part of all drivers. It pays to look your best before crossing the street.
