The Fieldcrest Store at Eden
was the scene of something
rather exciting on February 11,
when a number of people from
the Ringling Brothers, Bamum
and Bailey Circus came to visit
and to shop.
Given a special invitation by
the store, performers arrived by
chartered bus from Greensboro,
where the circus was playing an
engagement. They were accom
panied by Mrs. Jo Ann Bennett
who helped arrange the trip.
The circus members, mostly
Bulgarian and speaking very
little English, browsed through
the store, smiling at everyone
and seeming very impressed
with the various products.
One of the troupe, Lubo
Ivanov, did speak some English,
was interviewed by reporters
from the county newspapers and
from the local radio stations. He
and the other performers signed
autographs for a number of
people. Ivanov told those present
that he and the other male per-
foXners present were bareback
riders.
Mrs. Bennett said she helped
arrange the trip so that the per
formers might have the
opportunity to see something of
the area, rather than sitting in
their motel rooms between per
formances. She is a Greensboro
housewife and is not connected
with the circus.
Following their visit to the
Fieldcrest Store, the group was
taken to Meadow Greens
Country Club where they were
guests of the company at a
luncheon. Several members of
the news media were also guests
at the luncheon.
The performers Irff Eden
immediately after lunch in order
to be on time for the afternoon
performance of the circus.

Prompt Investigation
Of injuries Essential
The topic for the February
safety meetings is “Accident
Investigation”.
Meetings will feature
materials on the purpose of
accident investigation, benefits
of accident investigation, the
importance of reporting ALL
accidents no matter how slight,
and the proper steps to take in
the reporting and investigation
of accidents.
“The purpose of proper acci
dent investigation is to prevent
future accidents,” said Mack M.
Johnson, assistant safety
director.
“Employees sometimes
neglect to report minor acci
dents either because they don’t
want to spoil their safety record
or because they don’t want to
bother with the ‘red tape’
involved such as filling out the
forms, etc.,” Mr. Johnson said.
“But accidents that are not
reported will happen again and
again, so all accidents MUST be
reported, no matter how minor.”
Safety topics for the coming
months will include foot safety,
March; eye safety, April; safety
tips. May; vacation safety,
June; safety attitudes, July;
back injury control, August;
plant inspection; September;
fire prevention, October; and
inside industrial truck safety,
November.
The year-end analysis of acci
dents will be made at the
December meetings.
