DECEMBER ISSUE SEW IT SEAMS Page Seven 4 Estelle Gauiness Retires $> ESTELLE CAVINESS A tiny little lady who is in her 28th year of service with Anvil Brand is retiring this month and is looking forward to the coming years with as much enthusiasm as she displayed when she first started to work here over a quarter century ago. “Six months ago I thought I would be awfully let down at the idea of retiring,” Rebecca Estelle Caviness said last week. “But now that I’ve adjusted to the idea, I’m really looking for ward to it.” So, come December 24, Estelle will be 65 years old and on that day she will retire. What are her plans? She isn’t sure. Perhaps she and her husband will move to the country; she says she has plenty of relatives with ample land. Group Makes Suggestions For Safety The current safety committee held its final meeting last week when members made suggestions for improving possibly unsafe con ditions in the plants. Among the suggestions were the need for a container at the ma chines to hold personal belongings such as purse, shoes and scissors. Other suggestions included post ing details of accidents which oc cur on bulletin boards so all em ployees may learn how they occured and thus work toward not having the same accident re occur; inspecting tables for splinters and broken places; al ways calling the bundle boys to raise windows and avoid sitting on both sides of the stairs to “I’ll have plenty to occupy my mind,” she laughed. “Right now we’ve got 30 hens that keep us busy—and there’ll be plenty of other work for me, too.” Keeping these hens stems from the fact that Estelle was born in Randolph County on a farm. And although she has lived these many years in the city, her first love is a farm. She likes the country, growing things and raising animals. In her many years’ service with the company Estelle has had only one lengthy illness: an ap pendectomy which kept her our of work seven weeks. “I’ve been awfully lucky,” she says. Her jobs have included folding and pressing, inspecting and the job she leaves is folding. 14 GRANDCHILDREN Her husband, Wade Caviness, is a carpenter and she has three children, two boys and a girl. She also has 14 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, Estelle is a member of Arch dale Baptist Church which plays an important p&rt in her life. She lives in Archdale near the church and attends twice each Sunday. “It’s so nice to live so close to my church,” she said. “This would be one of the main reasons I would choose to stay in Archdale rather than move to the country.” Estelle, in talking about leav ing, said; “I enjoyed working for Sherrod and for Anvil Brand and I wish everybody connected with the company the best luck in the world.” Everybody at Anvil Brand wishes the best of everything for Estelle, too. smoke. Ossie Wright, safety director, commended the committee for their work and their observations neces sary to bring such suggestions to the safety department’s attention. All departments except four re ceived 100 per cent safety grades this month.
