Karastan Spinning, Worsted
Four attractive young ladies
have joined the office staff of the
Karastan Spinning and Worsted
Plants at Greenville. They are
Linda Kay Goodman, Terry
Carraway, Sherry Sullivan, and
Mary Jo Higson.
Linda Goodman is personnel
secretary for the Karastan Spin
ning and Worsted Plants. She
will also serve as the Mill
Whistle reporter for both plants.
Terry Carraway is secretary
to Jan Vincent, plant manager,
Karastan Spinning Mill.
Sherry Sullivan is a payroll
clerk at the Karastan Worsted
Plant.
Mary Jo Higson is a
production clerk at the Karastan
Worsted Plant.
According to automotive
service experts, most people do
not know how to properly use
jumper cables when charging a
weak battery. Improper use
could damage your car’s
electrical system or cause you
personal harm.
Experts suggest that you first
make certain that your car and
the one from which you are
taking a booster charge are not
touching.
Next, be certain that you’ve
turned off all battery-operated
accessories in your car, if yours
IS the one with the dead battery.
A very important step follows
Remove the vent caps from the
battery m your car and the
battery in the car that’s giving
you a boost. Cover the holes with
a folded cloth. If the caps are not
removed there is the danger of
an explosion. The cloth will help
keep you from being spattered
by acid.
With the engine turned off,
connect one end of either of the
booster cables to the positive
terminal of the booster battery.
Then attach the other end of the
same cable to the positive
terminal of your dead battery.
This terminal is the one with the
plus mark on it.
Next you should connect one
end of the second cable to the
negative pole of the booster
battery. Then attach the other
end of that cable to a ground
connection on the disabled
vehicle. We suggest the engine
block. It makes a good ground
connection.
Note that you do not connect
this cable to the negative pole of
the disabled battery. The ground
connection is to safeguard your
car against damage to its
electrical system.
Now you first start the engine
of the car with the booster
battery. Then start the car with
the disabled battery. Once the
disabled car is running
dismantle the booster cable ar
rangement by first
^sconnecting the positive cable
lines. Replace the battery caps
and you’re ready to run.
