Safety Glasses Save Eye Of Alexander Employee Ray Pittman (shown at left) is a “wise owl”, who still has his eyesight because he was wearing safety glasses on his job in the Weave Room at the Alexander Sheeting Mill, Forest City. He was cutting off a piece of head gear hub when a particle of steel hit the right lens of his safety glasses. He feels sure that, had he not been wearing safety glasses, his vision would have been lost in his right eye. Mr. Pittman, a loom fixer instructor, recently received his membership certificate in the “Wise Owl Club” given by the National Association for the Prevention of Blindness. Member ship in the club is comprised of industrial workers whose eye sight has been saved by the use of various types of eye protec tion.
