On The Job At Fieldcrest —Lighter Side- A woman walked into a psychiatrist’s office leading a small white duck by a chain. “What can I do for you, Madam?” the psychiatrist asked. “Oh, it’s not me,” said the woman, “it’s my husband. He thinks he’s a duck.” There are all sorts of signs hanging in business offices to stimulate thought, bring a chuckle or encourage produc tive activity. Signs such as Think, and What Kind Of A Day Can You Expect When It Starts With Getting Up In The Morning? One enterprising business man, striv ing for efficiency in his organization, hung up one which said Do It Now! Within 24 hours his cashier bolted with the contents of the safe, the steno grapher eloped with his eldest son, and the office boy threw an ink bottle into the electric fan.—Hello. Roy Hubbard, roving frame tender, is a skilled and dependable employee of the Towel Mill. Long experience and close attention to the job help him to get good quality and high production. A native of West Virginia, he is mar ried, has two sons, and lives in Fieldale. Three of his sisters work at the Towel Mill; Cora Parcell and Zella Wilkinson, Spinning; and Billie Martin, Sewing. This would be a fine world if all men showed as much patience all the time as they do when they’re waiting for a fish to bite.
