Good Posture Helps You Avoid Backache By DR. J. A. SANFORD Medical Director, Fieldcrest Mills Soft beds, soft chairs— the comforts of modern living, according to Dr. M. Beckett Howorth of New York Univer sity Post Graduate Medical Center, have led to an increase in the number of persons who suffer from low back pain. Once called “lumbago,” this ailment is often caused by poor posture, over weight, ill fitting or inappropriate shoes, sedentary life or overstrenuous work. It may also be due to diseases not directly relating to the back. It may occur at any age but it seems more prevalent in middle age persons. It occurs more frequently in persons whose jobs require stooping or lifting. Good posture is an important factor in preventing low back pain. A soft, saggy bed, and low soft chairs contri- bute to back pain. Overweight increases the load on the back and leads to poor posture. Weak arches, toeing in, and knock knees increase back strain. A low-heeled oxford is the best for standing or walking. Treatment of backache varies with the cause. When due to strain, usually rest and heat will help. Massage may be used to relieve pain. In most cases, the best treatment is to strengthen mus cles of lower back and to improve pos ture. If the pain is severe or persistent, al ways consult your family physician. 15 Weavers Named On Quality Honor List The quality honor list for Blanket Mill weavers has reached another high mark with 15 weavers making the cur rent list. Twelve are in the dobby or plain group and three in the jacquard classification. New names added include Augusta Hill, Cleo Minter, Gladys Powell and Lessie Walker, plain weavers; and El- drin Roach and Violet Saunders, jac quard weavers. The listing of the quality weavers is part of a program at the Blanket Mill designed to emphasize the importance of quality weaving and to give recogni tion to weavers with outstanding re cords. In order to make the quality honor list, a weaver must work for six months without his or her cloth having a major quality defect. Names of the quality weavers are posted on the weave room bulletin board each month and are published in The Mill Whistle. When a weaver on the list has a major quality defect, his name is dropped from the list. Other weavers are added as they attain six months of quality work. The quality honor list for the six months ending March 31 is shown in the accompanying box. WHI THE Ml At Fieldcrest, the best way to do any job is the safe way.
