Members of the Fieldcrest Team .■■•I" ^^^----- Mrs. Virginia Williams has one of the longest records of service of any woman at the Towel Mill. She has never been off the payroll since she joined the Com pany in 1920. A native of Critz, in Pat rick County, Va., and a graduate of Na tional Business College, Roanoke, Va., she became secretary to J. Frank Wil son, an early manager of the Towel Mill. She was secretary to the mill manager for several years and has served effi ciently and faithfully in other responsi- bihties in the Towel Mill office. At pres ent she handles orders and shipping in structions for one of the mill’s largest customers. Mrs. Williams has been active in the Fieldale Mutual Aid Association for a long time. She was treasurer for several years and now is a member of the Board of Directors. She is one of the best known and most widely respected per sons at the Towel Mill and in the Field ale community. Her husband, E. L. Williams, recently took early retirement from the Towel Mill under the Fieldcrest Pension Plan. Mr. and Mrs. WilUams own and operate the Sycamore Inn at Fieldale and own a farm near Critz, where they frequently spend week-ends and holidays. John W. (Jack) Wyatt is a ring spin ning fixer at the Blanket Mill. Friends say he “grew up” in the spinning room, where he first worked in 1915 and where he has continuous service since 1933. He has worked as a doffer, roving hand, oiler, and as a fixer for the past several years. Those who have known him a long time say that he stays on the job close ly and does his best to keep his frames operating efficiently so that good-qual- ity yarn is made and maximum produc tion is delivered from every spindle. Friends also say that he is known for his cheerful, cooperative attitude and his ability to get along with other people in the mill. Mr. Wyatt was born near Axton, Vir ginia but has lived at Draper since he was a small boy. He is married to the former Miss Leona Lay who formerly worked at Draper mills and was a re porter for The Mill Whistle. They have a daughter, Mildred Ann, 12 years old. They own their home at 226 S. Field crest Road. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt are active members of Draper’s First Methodist Church. He is a member of the official board and she is a teacher in the Sunday School. —Lighter Side— He was traveling home through a back alley when he met a tough looking character who said: “Could you help a poor hungry, homeless man, boss, who has nothing but a loaded revolver on him?” Sign in a fruit store: “Please don’t squeeze me until I’m yours.” (Iowa State Green Gander) Science Professor: “What happens when a body is immersed in water.” Smart Young Thing: “The telephone rings.” It is better to give than to receive— and besides, it’s deductible.
