Thi MILL Issued Every Two Weeks By and For the Employees WHLSTLE MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY, INC, Manufacturing Division, Spray, Nortli Carolina Volume Two Monday, January 31, 1944 Number 15 HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOURS! J. W. KRANTZ PASSES ON John Walter Krantz, Assistant Super intendent of the Finishing Mill, passed away during the night of January 15 at his home on the Boulevard. Al though he had been in ill health for several weeks his death was entirely unexpected and saddened the entire organization of which he had been a member for 43 years. For the past quarter of a century he had been con nected with the Finishing Mill and was liked and respected by the hundreds of people who at one time or another worked under him. Mrs. Krantz died about a year ago. Surviving are five sons, Homer, Russell, Raymond, Coy and George, and three daughters, Mrs. Howard Sheffield, Mrs. John Eggles ton and Mi-ss Claudine Krantz. V . . . — COMPANY IS WELL REPRESENTED IN ROTOGRAVURE PAPER Marshall Field & Co. is carrying a full page illustration of the various mills and other things of interest in the big Rotogravure section of The Leaksville News which will come off the press some time during February. This spec ial edition will show many things of great interest to people of the state and county, especially to employees of cur company who realize the vital part the company has played and is playing in building up the Tri-Cities. V , . . — To his Negro company of the 367th Infantry at Camp Clairborne, La., a black first sergeant spoke dire words: “From now on when Ah blows dis yere whistle. Ah wants to see a huge im- penetratable cloud of dust come boilin’ outa them tents. An when ’at dust clears away. Ah wants to find three rows of statues.” V . . . — Young Father: “In your sermon this morning you spoke about a baby being a new wave on the ocean of life.” Minister: “That’s right.” Young Father: “Don’t you think a fresh squall would have been nearer the truth?” MRS. FAYE P. WARREN Readers of the Fieldale page are al ready acquainted with Faye, and this picture will show that you’ve made no mistake in guessing that she is a swell looking girl as weil as a sincere, in tensely human one. She’s been with the company for the past seven years, since her graduation from Fieldale High, and is a hemmer in the Sewing Room. Before her marriage to Andrew W. Warren, S 2/C, she was Faye Perry. Husband Andrew is at present located at Dam Neck, Va. They tell us that Faye is very popular with her fellow workers and the home folks—which we can easily believe. READERS OF THE WHISTLE One of our fellow workers at the Karastan Mill is in need of two or three blood donors. Anyone interest ed may rest assured that your action in this matter will be greatly appreciat ed. Please communicate with J. H. Berry, Designing Department, Karas tan Rug Mill. The Fourth War Loan Bond Drive is under way. The quota for the Tri- Cities is $450,000. This means a $100 bond for every wage earner. Some cannot buy a $100 bond and in order to bring up the average many of us will have to buy bonds of large denomina tion. It takes only $18.75 to buy a $25 bond; $37.50 for a $50 bond, and $75 for a $100 bond. Let’s make our slogan A Bond For Every Wage Earner. All purchases paid for in full during January and February will count in our quota. Remember this is our war. Let’s do all we can to help win. J. F. WILSON. V . . . — KRAMER GOES TO NAVY Readers of “Right Off the Floor” will be interested in knowing that Stanley Kramer, whose dry wit and interesting method of reporting the news from our New York offices has made this depart ment one of the best liked in our paper, will enter the Navy on Febi’uay 14th. In a letter to the staff Stanley says: “It will be gratifying to be able to tell my grandchildren that ‘when the great war came I fought and fought and fought— but still I had to go’.” He’ll be missed—greatly. And despite his attempts to poke fun at himself we are sure that Uncle Sam’s Navy will get one more good man. You go with the best wishes from The Mill Whistle staff, advisors, and readers, Stanley, and we’ll be pulling for you every minute. V . . . — MILL WHISTLE STAFF HAS BANQUET The third semi-annual banquet of The Mill Whistle staff was held at the Carolina Home on Thursday, January 27th and was attended by nearly all the staff.
