Employees Of Four Units
Entitled To Barbecues
Later In The Year
Three mills and the General Offices
have earned safety awards based on their
records in 1957.
The Automatic Blanket Mill and the
Central Warehouse received awards
from both the National Safety Council
and the North Carolina Department of
Labor for having operated the entire
year of 1957 without a disabling injury.
The General Offices also received a
National Safety Council award for hav
ing no lost-time injuries in 1957. The
Blanket Mill received the State Depart
ment of Labor’s second-year award for
having operated all of 1957 with an ac
cident frequency more than 75 per cent
below the State average for textile mills.
Each of the three mills and the Gen
eral Offices are entitled to a barbecue or
outing as a result of its fine record last
year. The certificates will be formally
presented to employees from each unit
at the outings to be held later in the
year.
In a letter to Robert A. Harris, vice
president in charge of manufacturing,
concerning the State Labor Department
awards, Frank Crane, Commissioner of
Labor, wrote:
“Congratulations on winning a 1957
safety award from the North Carolina
Department of Labor. Your safety re
cord, which resulted in your winning an
award, is certainly a fine one, and I wish
to take this opportunity to congratulate
you and every supervisor and employee
who has helped make your fine safety
record possible.
“It is my sincere hope the fine safety
work which has been so evident in the
past will continue throughout this year,
and we will have the pleasure of prepar
ing another award for you.”
A similar letter of congratulations
from Ned H. Dearborn, president of the
National Safety Council, accompanied
the NCS awards.
