Eddie Wood of the Automatic
Blanket Plant is firmly
convinced that safety glasses
are worthwhile because they
prevented what could have been
extremely serious injury to his
eyes.
A mechanic in the Plant
Service Department, Mr. Wood
was attempting to unstop a drain
when some of the acid cleaner
splashed on his face. Burns are
evident on his face around the
area covered by his safety
glasses. He might have had very
bad eye injuries, perhaps even
been blinded, had he not been
wearing the safety glasses.
Mr. Wood has b^n nominated
for membership in the Wise Owl
Club, a national organization of
persons who have escaped eye
injury by wearing safety glasses
on the job.
Dowless Seeks Boy Scout Leaders
Jack Dowless is “looking for a
few good men.”
As Cub chairman he is pro
moting Cubbing in the Saura
District, Cherokee Council, Boy
Scouts of America, and he is in
need of men to serve as
Cubmasters.
“In order to have a larger Cub
program we need leaders. To
serve more boys we must first
have more men who will become
adult leaders,” he said.
His primary emphasis in the
next few months will be on the
formation of new packs. “We
have four packs in Eden now but
we need eight to fill the needs.
But we can’t have more Cub
packs until we have the leader
ship.”
The novice art student spent a
couple of hours at an exhibition
of abstract art. Finally he found
something he liked — a little
black dot on a field of white,
framed in brass. He asked the
attendant how much it was.
“That’s not for sale,” he re
plied. “That’s the light switch.”
The Fieldcrest man’s efforts
in Cub Scouting won for him the
district Award of Merit, given
for outstanding service to
Scouting. The award was
presented at the recent first
annual awards banquet for the
Saura District.

In addition to being the district
Cub chairman, Mr. Dowless for
the past three years has been the
Cubmaster of Pack 508 at the
Leaksville United Methodist
Church. He became a
Cubmaster when his sons
reached Cub Scout age.
A systems analyst in the Data
Processing Department at the
General Offices and a native of
Aberdeen, he was in Scouting for
six years as a boy and became
an Eagle Scout when he was 14.
He is one of the many men at
Fieldcrest who give of their time
to the Boy Scout program.

JACK DOWLESS — Grateful for Scout training
Mr. Dowless said he became
an adult Scouter only partly on
account of his sons. “While I was
motivated by my sons being in
the Cub Scouts, I really wanted
to see that the youth of the area
I
have the same opportunities
have had in Scouting.”
“I look back on the lead
ers I had in Scouting and
I want other boys to enjoy the
same benefits. I think anyone
who was in Scouting as a boy —
especially as an Eagle Scout —
has an obligation to pay back
what he received from Scouting.
“It takes time to be an adult
Scouter,” he said, “but it is time
well spent because it is an
investment in the future.”
