Members of the Fieldcrest Team
Otis Tilley, frame hand at the Towel
Mill, is a careful and skilled operator
■who knows the importance of efficient
production, good quality roving and
control of waste. He pieces up proper
ly and watches his work constantly so
that thick or thin roving may be avoid
ed. He knows that the spinning room
depends on good roving in order to
make good yarn.
He is neat, orderly and cleans his ma
chines carefully and gives special at
tention to his rollers. He watches
closely to make sure that no lint, oil nor
grease gets into the roving he makes.
He avoids waste by running his cans
down low and by “dumping” them
properly. He handles full bobbins care
fully to avoid sloughing.
Kathleen Mills, employment clerk,
performs a difficult job well. She is
receptionist and sometimes the inter
viewer of persons applying for jobs as
well as processing the forms for group
insurance, Mutual Aid and other mat
ters relating to employment.
She arranges for tests, physical exami
nations and interviews with foremen
in the cases of persons being employed
for the first time. She “signs up” per
sons returning to work after having
been laid off or out sick. Whether a
person is employed or not, she must be
courteous, efficient, patient and un
derstand the other person’s point of
view. By doing a good job she helps
the Employment Office to operate
smoothly.

from
For in Him we live, and move,
and have our being; as certain also
of your poets have said, For we are
also His offspring.—(The Acts 17,
28.)
A deep and abiding conscious
ness of God should be with and
within us each waking moment,
and not just reserved for a certain
day or a certain period of prayer.
If we sought to know and to obey
God’s will in everything We do, say
and think, how joyous and useful
our lives could be!
