HE MAKES SURE THE POWER IS OFF
Lacey Owen, electrician at the Finish
ing Mill, removes fuses and locks switch
in the “off” position before working on
the line or electrical apparatus.
Lacey says, “An electrician can’t af
ford to be careless around high voltage.
Chance-taking could be fatal. Not only
for electricians but for people on all
jobs, it’s worth going out of the way or
making extra effort in order to be safe.”
Here’s What You Do
To Get Auto License
Got your 1958 auto license plate yet?
The tags went on sale January 1 and
may be purchased through February 15.
A report from the issuing office at the
Tri-City Merchants Association says
sales are running somewhat behind last
year’s, indicating there will be a later
rush of those who have put off getting
their plates.
Something new has been added too,
for North Carolina car owners. This
time each car owner must present “proof
of financial responsibility” before he can
buy his plate. The easiest way for the
average owner to comply is to have in
force automobile liability insurance pro
viding at least $5,000—$10,000 bodily
injury and $5,000 property damage.
There is only one way to prove you
have automobile liability insurance. That
is by a Certificate of Insurance, also
known as Form FS-1. Neither a wallet
card stating you have insurance nor an
insurance policy will suffice. The FS-1
form itself must be presented before a
license is issued. Owners of more than
one car must present an FS-1 form for
each car owned.
If you have not yet received an FS-1
form from your insurance company, you
should get in touch at once with your
insurance carrier (through its local rep
resentative). If you do not now have in
surance, to avoid delay in getting your
license plate you should make your own
insurance arrangements immediately, as
it will take some time for the insurance
companies to process applications.
The purpose of the new law is to en
courage and promote financial respon-

On The Job
At Fieldcrest
Manuel M. Spencer, of the Towel Mill
Shipping Department, operates a bat
tery-powered lift truck to pick up car
tons of towels from the conveyor at the
end of the packing line and deliver them

ped, he removes the proper cartons from
storage and delivers them to the loading

keeps his truck shined up or watches
his skillful handling of the towel car
tons gets the impression that here is
a man who knows his job and takes
pride in doing good work.
Manuel has worked at the Towel Mill
continuously since 1945. He is married
and has several children. He owns his
home near Horsepasture on Route 4,
