400 Human Guinea Pigs
Wfear Garments To Test '1
Them For The Consumer
By BILL SHARPE
Four hundred lucky men and |
women scattered all over the ,
Americas today are deciding ,
what sort of fabric you will be ,
wearing in the near future, t
They are "wear-testers", anony- ,
mous but willing guinea pigs, {
who put new clothes to prac- |
tical use to decide how they will i
stand up after they have left ]
the factory. I
One of the textile industry's .
most unusual developments
started some years .ago, when (
Burlington Mills gave their i
Greensboro employes hose, slips, ]
suits and other items to wear i
and to report on their quality. (
But during the war the testing di
vision, headed by Mrs. Grace I
Draper, discovered that there '
was a lot of turn-over in test
ers. Many of th^girl employes <
struck up romances with sol
diers in nearby encampments,
and Mrs. Draper was saddened
to see her newly married help
ers leaving in droves, weighted ?
down by suitcases full of wear
testing clothes.
Then it was decided to use
former employes as testers. It I
was a good idea, too, because ]
the clothes were subjected to :
every kind of weather from i
Canada to the tropics. Now, reg- '
ularly, new material is shipped | '
out to these testers, and reg- 1
ularly they send back the worn '
garments, together with obser
vations about their wearability. 1
Mrs. Draper still uses mill 1
employes in wear-testing, but
she says non-employes are bet
ter, since they are not so shy
about making adverse com- :
ments. 1
The division works like this. 1
The garments are sent out to
gether with complete instruc
tions for washing and cleaning, 1
how many times a garment 1
should be worn, and other per
tinent information. Some tests 1
cover a few weeks; others run 1
over a year.
Questions to be answered in- <
elude: Do the trousers bag at 1
the knees? Do the pants stretch
at the seat? Does the material *
wrinkle easily in dry weather? i
Do the wrinkles fall out over- '
night, Can dirt spots be re- '
moved with cleaner? '
These are straight questions,
and the wear-testers send back '
some very straight answers. One 1
wrote that he found his slacks 1
generating so much static elec- !
trlcity in cold weather that his ,
wife was using him to keep the
lights on. One tester indignant- (
ly wrote that she had worn the
brand new hose to a party, and
during the evening they de- 5
veloped more pops in them than (
a wad of bubble gum.
When the garments have been {

thoroughly worn, they are re
turned to the company labora
tory for examination and analy
sis. One of the Jobs cf the
shemists and engineers is to
:heck the results of the human
testers to establish quality stan
iards. They . handle , almost 2,
XX) samples a month, and to the
tests given the material by
luman wear, are added ex
laustlve mechanical stretching,
teaching, abrasion, cleaning,
wd tension tests.
The testing division is happy
i bout having the scientists use
;heir machines on the products.
But they love the wear-testers'
reports. After all, machines
lon't buy clothes.

Of Social Security
Office
By D. W. LAMBERT
Manager
Usheville S.ocial Security Office
This column will present the
intimate story of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance. Its pur
pose is two-fold. First, inform
you of the Social Security Ad
ministration program that n*n
vides benefits to aged insured
workers and their families when
the worker retires and to sur
viving members of families
when the breadwinner dies. Sec
ond, to inform you of your
rights under this insurance, so
that you can reao the full bene
fits it has to offer.
The field office which serves
your county is located in the
Flatiron building, Ashevllle. It
has three outstanding functions.
They are:
1. The handling of all types
of benefit claims. This may be
paid to be the most important
function, since no benefit .may
be paid until the qualified per
son files his or her application.
2. Issuance of new and dupli
:ate social security account
lumber cards.
3. Assistance to wage and sal
iry workers In commerce and
industry in checking their social
security wage records to make
sure that the records kept for
sach worker are accurate.
