Members of the Fieldcrest Team Lola McGavisk, Blanket Mill, in spects rolls of blankets for any running defects, removes slugs and strings, washes out oil spots, makes minor re pairs. She reports running defects promptly so that corrective action can be taken. She is careful to see that no imperfections get by since she is the last person to see the cloth before it goes through finishing processes at Spray. If a running defect is not discovered in the Blanket Inspecting department, it cannot be detected until some time later at the Finishing Mill. Meanwhile, other rolls containing the defect may have been woven at the Blanket Mill. This would cause the number of seconds to be multiplied. By doing their jobs well, Mrs. Mc Gavisk and the other inspectors con tribute to the success of their mill by reducing losses from seconds. Jerry Eedell, packaging coordinator, has a man-sized job in co-ordinating problems and activities at the mills i-elating to the packaging of all our products. He works closely with the Sales Department in Kew York, the mill managers, Purchasing, and other staff departments. He must be familiar with our pro ducts, O'jr unit costs, and the seemingly innumerable combinations of put-ups. Ke must know about printing, and about the various materials, machines and methods used in packaging. All of his work is a part of Field- crest’s effort to have the best in pack aging, and at the lowest possible cost. Because packaging has become an im portant tool in merchandising, attrac tive, salable packages are a significant factor in the sale of Fieldcrest pro ducts. MILL WHISTLE Issued Every Other Monday For Em ployees and Friends of Fieldcrest Mills, Inc., Spray, North Carolina Copyright, 1955, Fieldcrest Mills, Inc. OTIS MARLOWE . . . .Editor Vol. XIV Monday, August 15, 1955 No. 3 Start The Day Right Want to have a good . day? What happens to you and your work during the day depends a lot on what you eat for breakfast. Your body needs nutritious food to keep going. If you cut down on food, you cut down on ef' ficiency, on being able to get along with others, and you weaken your health. If you find yourself making many mistakes, feeling irritable, suffering from jumpy nerves and headache, chances are you’re hungry for some substantial food. By skipping or skimp ing breakfast, you may invite bodily illness because of this starvation diet- That will cost you money in doctor’s bills. So make sure you get an adequate breakfast and give yourself time to eat it. Eating on the run while dressing does you no good. An adequate break fast, eaten leisurely, will give you more energy, help you to think and act more quickly and reduce muscular fatigue. An Englishman is a person who doeS things because they have been done be fore. An American is one who doeS things because they haven’t been done before. Thirty-Five Years Berda S.
