PAGE TEN the echo February, 194 Bride’s House By KATHLEEN SUTTON Now In my hand I hold the shin ing key That will unlock the freshly paint-1 ed door. Yet hesitant, with strange humil ity I pause upon the new-laid walk before Gay shingled roof and casement | windows bright With welcome—thinking how im- tried and young We are, this house and I, and onj how slight A thread life’s greatest happineb] is hung. We are unseasoned yet in any weather, Though few escape storm’s bitter reckoning; 0 little house, let us be strong to gether. Withstanding winter, certain of the spring, heltering love so wisely and so well; [ t>th heart and home are where he I most would dwell. Dine And Dance In A Short Date Dress Refining News By JACK RHODES ^^Pack in the news this month the •^^tefining department is a-rarin’ to go. Having returned to the 42-hour schedule, all the boys are planning take nice trips and vacations. Cauble has already organized deep-sea fishing trip for June on "B” Shift. Thad Newman and Uncle” Bud White were not to e outdone so they organized a trip on “A” Shift. Seems to me like the fish are drawing a lot of suckers this year. We’re glad to leam that Leland Thomas is back home after an op eration In Asheville. Frank Patton is also at home af ter spending a week at Biltmore hospital. Hurry and get well, boys, and come on back to work. Several of our boys have re turned from service and needless to say, we’re tickled to have them back. Namely, Devere Harding, the guy who made Cammy holler "Calf-Rope”, W. C. McClung, How ard Volrath and Ray Owen. Oh yeah, they say a bad penny will al ways show up. I see Jerry Mann is back in town. Well, good!!! -Some folks must be a Jonah, hile Jack Rhodes was out sick, e Refining Bowling team stepped t and won more games than ey had all season. Nice going, ys. Incidentally, three of our am members; Bill Henson, Thad awman and Ray Beddingfield placed in the money in the bowling touniament held in Asheville re cently. Ike Caimes has been win ding pretty regularly off “Speedy” lones on their bowling scores. So Jegularly, I hear Speedy is figur- bg on going back to smoking ^oll-Your-Owns” in an effort to ik® up his losses. j wish somebody would buy Thomas a basketball. He n'lfribbled Jack Wilber on these ccrete floors till Jack yells •rVail" every time ‘Giz’ looks at him. Wonder what happened to cause Burgin Kilpatrick to run out on No. 8 the other night hollering, "Run, the Revenue Men are com ing!!!” We extend our deepest sympa thy to Winifred Tweed, whose home burned last month with com plete loss of fumUhlngt. Un. Tweed was slightly burned but Js along fine now, Brilliant Roman stripes and black combine to make a colorful short dlne-and-dance dress, feminine and pretty for infonnal dates. Glitter costumes to fit any occasion and any budget may be had by the simple means of sewing them at home. The stores wUl be spotlighting their home sewing departments during National Sew and Save Week, February 23-March 2 and you will find many suitable fabrics for date wear at that time. New items for the ward robe should be made with an eye to how they fit In with the rest of your clothes. A new leaflet, "Color Guide to Exciting Wardrobe Combinations,” No. H 1705, tells about new color fashions and how to have a varied wardrobe from a few pieces.

Whether you are wearing yor hair in flowing locks or in an u- swept Psyche coiffure this ye^, the beauty of your hair-atyle i- pends to a great extent upon tfe lustre and sheen of the hair itsrf. We’ve been all told countlts times of the value of brushing dr hair one hundred times nighly, but there are many other thiijs we can do to maintain our “crowa- ing glory” in all its beauty, ^n extra-thorough brushing befq-e washing, for example, will looan dandruff and dust from your h|r so they can be easily rinsed off.' Try using a small, stiff brnh around the edge of your hairli|[e when you are washing your hafr. This will take out the powder aid cosmetics that have settled jut above the hairline in front and Ihe dirt that is rubbed into the htir at the collar-line. Always rinse your hair twice af ter working the lather from the scalp up to the ends of the hair. Merely washing the hair can’t give it a lustre—thorough rinsing does the trick. If you’re a working girl and must wash your hair in the eve ning, do it as early as possible. Warm several towels before hand and use them to rub the hair dry. If you plan to go to bed with your hair still damp, wrap your head in a sheer wool turban. When you have one of those last-minute dates, and your hair is a “sight” try this trick. Set it in the usual way, but without any water or wave-set. Then hold your head over a pot of boiling water for two minutes and let it cool for ten minutes. After this you will be able to comb it out in a lovely, loose wave. Judge: Seems to me you’ve been coming up before me for the past twenty years. Victim: Can I help it if you don’t get promoted?

NEWBURY, Safety Director JN eiJ “HORSEPLAY OR HORSE SENSE” Several articles have appeared in past issues of the Echo with ref erence to Horseplay throughout the plant. These articles were not directed at anyone in particular, but to those who persist in such childish acts while on the job. To give you an actual case of such horseplay, I wish to cite something that occurred during the week of January 28th., 1946. An employee of the Job Printing department was operating a large press on a very important order, when someone passed the open door and using a rubber band, shot him over the right ear with a hard wad of paper. No, he wasn’t seriously injured, and except for a pump knot on the side of his head, no damage was done. But . . . suppose he had turned around just as this childish act took place, and received the blow in one of his eyes? ... Or what if the wad of paper had got ten into the operating press and caused considerable damage? . . . Could the guilty person possibly have an alibi for such horseplay? Practical jokes and horseplay have no place on the job, and your co-operation is solicited in helping eliminate such unsafe practices. WATCH VOUR.STEP GETTING ON THE 5US. I WANT TO SEE YOU BACK HERE AT ECU5TA TOMORROW. “Auto Reflex” In Toledo, according to the Na tional Safety Council, a woman driver’s car blew a tire at a rail road crossing, careened down the tracks, struck a signal switch, and threw a red block against an ap proaching train. North Carolina had 636 deaths due to traffic accidents, during the first eleven months of 1945. “SAFETY IS A HABIT—GRAB IT.” N. C. Department Of Labor Awards 'A* Rating To All Three Companies Stay Safe ,.. Off-Of-Job, Too To lose time away from work, whether your injury occurred on or off the job, represents a direct loss to one of our employees. We are vitally interested in your wel fare, and offer the following safe ty suggestions in your behalf. Read and obey them, and your chances of being hurt off-the-job during the coming years will be greatly reduced. 1. Check your living quarters for such hazards as rugs on slick, floors, frayed lamp cords, unsafe steps and walkways, toys and mar bles on the floor, broken glass ware, and numerous other items that could cause personal injury. 2. Never operate your car at a speed that is too fast for safety. Take into consideration the condi tion of your car, the condition of the roads, and the fact that you never know what the driver of the other vehicle might do. 3. Encourage the youngsters not to play in the street, and when forced to walk on the highway, to always walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. 4. Never cross a thoroughfare without being sure there are no vehicles approaching from either way. The age-old saying that “the pedestrian has the right-of-way,” is not observed by present day mo torists. 5. Do not take unnecessary chances. Broken bones and weeks in the hospital have often resulted from someone trying to save a few seconds, or take a shortcut. 6. Always have even the slight est injury treated immediately. A hole caused by a pin puncture is large enough to admit thousands of germs, and infection can devel op within thirty minutes. For the past twenty-five years, the total number of injuries and deaths occurring in the homes each year have greatly exceeded those occurring in American Industrial Plants. This is rather alarming, but true. Self-preservation was practiced by our forefathers years ago. We should all follow through with the wonderful example set by them. Ever Use Handrails? The above is a rather silly ques tion to ask grown people who con tinuously go up and down a set of steps, is it not? Well, to get across the full mean ing of the above heading, I wish to cite something that took place here in our Main Office on the morning of February 2nd. While waiting to see a person who was rather busy at the time, I made it a point to observe those using the stairway. Out of sixteen office employees who wpnt up or Representative Makes Thor ough Inspection Of Plant Each Year. On interest to each employee of all three of our companies is the grade “A” rating recently received from the North Carolina Depart ment of Labor. Each year since the plant start ed operations, a representative of the Department of Labor has made a thorough inspection of the en tire plant, and on each occasion the three companies have received top rating. During these inspections, the representative places special em phasis on working conditions, housekeeping, lighting, washroom and toilet facilities, the health and safety program for the personnel as a whole, and the low frequency of personal injuries. This achievement is indeed something to be proud of, and we wish to say to each and every one of you, WELL DONE. Let’s all do our utmost to receive top billing in the years to come . . . IT CAN BE DONE. Proper Clothing And Footwear Important One of the most important phases of accident prevention is the wear ing of -proper clothing and foot wear. Numerous serious injuries have resulted from unsafe wearing apparel, as well as the wearing of jewelry when working around mov ing machinery. The few pointers below are for your protection, and will prevent serious injuries if the suggestions are followed. 1. Never wear loose clothing, long sleeves, or neckties while working around moving machinery. 2. Do not use high heel shoes, or worn down heels or soles to work In. 3. Refrain from wearing brace lets, rings, or other jewelry, when working around moving machinery. A ring is oftentimes the difference between a bruised finger and a complete amputation. In the interest of your personal welfare, won’t you follow the above suggestions? down this particular set of steps, only one took hold of the handrail. Remember, handrails are on stairways to hold to, and may some day save you the misfortune of a serious injury, if you will only use them. Famous last words: “Just watch me beat that train to the cross ing.” Definition of Safety: It is a con dition under which people live longer and suffer less.” Throughout the United States, there were 25,220 deaths dye to motor vehicles in 1945, i Mrs. 'd, anni Idaugh •mbs, t of M PicTUB.eDjf®™on: 'terno at tl Wrch. :nds. .elvm ^ed th ide w crepe m ac i of w te sati ter me lato 1 on of UlkCKP. su Arm badly sprained when ^ ployee fell from platform ment floor, (approximately laryn .re a 1 SUGGESTION: Be absol®*ed su sure you have a firm footer co especially when you are wor» higher than floor level. lately — - Jlr. an hone ey ret f Jeill i \h scl ■ d the large. j'tSO Ankle sprained when employee slipped and fell stairway.
