Four THE MILL WHISTLE April 15, 1946 The MILL WHISTLE Issued Every Two Weeks By and For the Employees of MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY MANUFACTURING DIVISION SPRAY, NORTH CAROLINA J. U. NEWMAN JR., Editor VOCATIONAL STUDENTS VISIT FIELDALE Through the courtesy of the management of Marshall Field & Company, both classes from the Vocational School went to the Towel and Hosiery Mills at Fieldale, Virginia, on April 2. Twenty-seven boys from Draper made the trip in the morning, and approximately the same number from Leaksville made the trip in the afternoon. This completes a series of trips as the boys have now been through the Marshall Field Karastan Rug Mill, the Bedspread Mill, the Blanket and Sheeting Mills, the Finishing Mill, the Rayon Mill, and the Woolen Mill. These visits to the mills give the boys an opportunity to see the various functions of a large industrial organiza tion. Much interest was manifested by the boys on these trips. The visits to the mills are supervised by T. W. Suttenfield, principal of the Vocational School, and are arranged through the Marshall Field Training Depart ment of the Public and Industrial Relations Departments, New sub-strafosphere planes will be equipped with over-size flight instru ments which will tell passengers at a glance at what speed and altitude the plane is moving? Swapping dollars enriches nobody; swapping ideas enriches both parties. A censor is a guy who sticks his no’s into other people’s business. BLASTS From the Draper Office Carrie Hill and Evelyn Lewis “Kat” Barrow is trying her domestic ability this week. Her mother had a minor operation last week. “Kat” re ports that her mother is doing fine, and we’re mighty glad to hear that. Did you know who “Cascade Lou” was in the Minstrel the Draper Y’s Men” gave Friday and Saturday nite? The way you sang “Stormy Weather” was a dead give-a-way, Evelyn ole’ girl, and we cer tainly enjoyed it. Gladys Barber Smith says, “Now I don’t have to live alone and like it.” Her husband, Willie is back on day time and they are moving into a little home all their own. Gladys said their furniture hadn’t come, so they would be rolling down the quilts and blankets for beds and eating hot dogs for food. What day did you say for us to come to dinner, Mrs. Smith? Floda Somers and Agnes Foster had to do a little cooking last week too, as their mother went visiting. Thomas Yeatts said this morning that the water was fine Sunday. We don’t know whether you were kidding or not, Thomas, but that “tan” surely looks good. Lucille Turner Cherry has left us to join her husband in Wilmington, N. C. We miss you lots, “Lou,” but trust you like your new home. Carrie Hill and Ruby Lewis spent the week-end in Roanoke last week. Ruby says, at last she’s found some one she can dance “cheek to cheek” with and not have to stoop or tip-toe. Wonder why they want to go back to Roanoke so soon???? You say you simply love those new Buicks, Carrie? Say, they ride so-so-so good? Well, the new Fords do too. Those vacationing this week from the Draper office: Mr. A. D. Pratt and Mr. W. J. Hankins. Gee! We just can’t wait to take ours. We have a new addition to our office. Yes, Ab “Tax Wizzard” Ricks has finally gotten that longed for desk and is now located in the office with the rest of the “gang.” Welcome, Ab, and we trust that you will like your new surroundings. We want to welcome another new em ployee to our Personnel Office. She is Hazel Cochran Minter, and is filling the vacancy made by Lucille Cherry’s de parture. Welcome to our midst. Hazel. A thought: Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Do You Know That— Gunpowder is said to have been known as far back as the “dark ages” by a man named Callinicus of Damas cus, who supposedly first discovered its secret?
