GEORGE MARINE RETIRES 42 Years of Service Due to a recent operation from which he has recovered but which left him un able to continue boarding at Plant #4, George J. Marine has retired on the basis of physical disability. At the end of World War I, Marine, a young man of 19 from New Castle, Pennsyl vania, came to visit with friends at Brown Summit, near Greensboro. He worked with the Southern Railroad for three years and on the first Mon day of July in 1921, George Marine started learning to board socks with Adams-Millis Corporation in Kern- ersville. During the following 42 years, he has kept every pay envelope he re ceived when the payroll was paid in cash and he has the check stub for every pay check since wages have been paid by check. Mrs. Marine, the former Flossie Loy, has also been with the Kerne rs- ville plant since 1921. She is em ployed in the Finishing Department. George and Flossie Marine have reared a family of eleven children and paid for their home with their earnings from Adams-Millis. Two of their daughters, Mrs. Mary Ker- cheval, a seamer, and Mrs. Evelyn Sykes, a boarder, are also employed at Plant #4 now. Three sons, Frank, Roy, and Jimmie, have also worked for Adams-Millis as have two daugh ters, Mrs. Margie Moss and Mrs. Sylvia Ann Teague. George Marine was an outstand ing quality boarder. Because of his pride in his work and his ability to do outstanding quality work, he was assigned to board samples and train learners. He took equal pride in training the new employees; and when it became evident that a trainee would not be a quality boarder. Marine was quick to point out the fact to his super visors. He recalls having been as signed 27 trainees consecutively with no trainees being assigned to other experienced boarders for instruction. In his training program. Marine followed the basic principles of in struction of showing the learner how to do the job, letting the learner do the job, following up the work of the learner, and correcting the learner. "If he pays attention, and tries to do what you show him, he'll learn, "says Marine. "But, if he goes on and doesn't pay attention to what you tell him, he will not likely make a board er. " The Marines live in Kernersville near the plant. They are members of the First Baptist Church. The expert hands of George Marine have helped to train many good board ers for our Kernersville plant.
