W. D. CORNELISON IS RETIRED W. D. Cornelison, retiring super intendent of the Greige Goods Depart ment of Plant #7, was presented with a four-drawer filing cabinet and alpha bet guides by supervisors of Plants #6 and #7 at a dinner given for him. Mr. Cornelison was retired with the clos ing of the Knitting and Seaming Depart ments of the full fashioned plant. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelison operate Cornelison's Florist on North Main Street at the Kernersville highway where W. D. will spend most of his time, and it is in his new business venture that the filing cabinet will be used. Cornelison came with Adams- Millis in 1929 as the company was just beginning to get in the production of full fashioned hose. Having had ex perience as a full fashioned knitter in Asheboro, he was the first knitter on the number one legging machine which was started up March 18, 1929. As operations were expanded and more machines were installed, Cornelison was promoted to fixing on leggers in 1935. A few months later, he was named supervisor of the third shift. In 1940, he was named superintendent of the Knitting and Greige Goods De partment, succeeding the late J. W. Coggins. Patience and persistence were among his personal qualities. Given an assignment for development of new patterns and ideas, he would staywith that assignment with perseverance and determination until the mission was completed. Cornelison was certified by the War Manpower Board as instructor in job instructor training. He was a member of the Industrial Management Club of High Point, the Civitan Club, and has served on the Advisory Board of the Red Shield Boys' Club for twelve years. A native of Montgomery County, he attended county schools there and was a graduate of Biscoe High School. He lived in the Archdale community until he built his florist shop on the Kernersville Road. His new home is next door to the florist shop. For many years, he was a church leader in the Old Union Church in Randolph County. He was chairman of the Board, president of the Men's Club and taught Sunday School classes for many years. He transferred his membership to the Lebanon Methodist Church after moving into his new home. The Cornelisons have two sons. Eugene, a former knitter of Plant #7, is now associated with his parents in the floral business. Leroy is con nected with a trucking firm in High Point. -7-
