Sorry About Thai Howard Whitlock, a practitioner of karate, was trying to break a board with his hand but broke a bone in his wrist instead. G. Harvey Biggs, a blanket server at the Blanket Finishing Mill, has just completed 45 years of service with the Company. Mr. Biggs has never been off the payroll for any reason since he started work. He’s taken a lot of kidding about it but says that it was his own fault: that he hit the board too far back on his hand. A native of Patrick, Va., Mr. Biggs was employed August 11, 1924, as a napper operator at the Blanket Finish ing Mill. He remained in that job for 20 years, and in 1944, was promoted to second hand, and in 1946, to assistant foreman. “There’s no trick to it,’’ he said, “you just have to use the part of your hand that is protected.” And the karate de votee sheepishly admits that he failed to do that very thing. He also worked as a second hand- finisher and as a section man. Mr. Biggs has been a blanket server since 1962. Mr. Whitlock is a fixer-trainee in the Carding Department at the Alexander Sheeting Mill at Forest City. He has been practicing karate for two years in classes at the Gastonia YMCA and the Shelby Recreation Center. Good housekeeping is good business, aiding safety, quality and efficiency. He competed for the North Carolina championship at Asheville in 1968 but will not be able to take part in the con test this year because of his injured hand.
