EMPLOYED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Charles M. Powers Willie D. Brown Paul E. McAdoo Carlos T. Auman Supervisor, Plant #6 Boarder, Plant #7 Dyer, Plant #1 Machine. Shop October 2, 1936 October 5, 1936 October 21, 1936 October 27, 1936 EMPLOYEES STUDY FIRE FIGHTING Benny Ward, barely seen as the last man with the fire extinguisher, practices putting out a fire at the fire fighting demonstration by the High Point Fire Department. Thirteen employees of Adams- Millis, with representatives of other textile firms in High Point, were given instructions in fire fighting and the proper use of extinguishers in curbing smaller fires. Many buildings can be saved with the proper use of the proper kind of extinguishers, representatives of the fire department told the group. Fires are classed into three groups: (A) Combustible materials, such as wood, paper, cloth, cotton, uphol stery materials, etc. (B) Combusti ble fluids--oils, gases, paints,var nishes (C) Electrical fires. It is important to know which type of extinguisher to use on each class of fire. Water is the best fire fighter for class A fires. Class B fires are fought best with the foam type extin guisher. Infighting class C, or electrical fires, water should be avoid ed because water is a conductor of electricity. Extinguishers using non conductors should be used in putting out fires involving electrical equip ment. Attending the demonstration from Adams-Millis were Ben Hooks, Bob Bates, L. C. Dowdy, Elmer Hoover, Benny Ward, Walter Webb and Sam Dale, of Plant #1; Charlie Young, of the Machine Shop; DeWitt Winfree, of Plant #6; Jim Ledwell, Howard Von- cannon, W. D. Cornelison, Bill Hay worth and Bill Sink, of Plant #7; and J. W. Snotherly, of the office. -4-
