Salute To The Girl Scouts
Adults worry about preparing children for what lies ahead in this changing and
increasingly complex world. Though benefiting from scientific advancements, to
day’s children face unprecedented economic pressures and upheavals, readjustments
to changing social patterns, international tensions, and threats to human survival.
Home, schools, and religious institutions help youngsters cope with these multi
tudinous pressures. So do the youth organizations of this country.
Outstanding among these is the Girl Scout movement, a partnership of girls and
adults which helps girls build a sturdy base for future life.
For 48 years. Girl Scouting has provided an ethical code of conduct, a sound
sense of values, training for good citizenship, and opportunities for service. Today,
more than two and a half million girls from the age of seven through 17 are learning
and living these same lessons under the guidance of almost 800,000 dedicated adults.
Girl Scouts take part in a broad range of activities which prepare them for
future responsibilities as wives, mothers, workers, civic leaders, and citizens. What
ever changes are wrought in the atomic age, basic values of self-respect, loyalty,
reverence, and love of fellow-man have the best chance of surviving among those
who have had the kind of training which Scouting offers.
With these standards—the natural outgrowth of a belief in their Promise and
Laws—Girl Scouts will be better prepared to play constructive roles in the world
of tomorrow.
Fieldcresters help support the local Girl Scout program through their contribu
tions to the Tri-City Community Fund.
The Mill Whistle congratulates the 375 Brownies, Scouts and leaders of the
Tri-City Girl Scouts who this week are helping celebrate the 48th anniversary of
the founding of the Girl Scouts of the U. S. A.
On The Job
At Fieldcrest
'k'
Lucy H. Eanes has worked as a folder
in the Sewing Department at the Towel
Mill for over 25 years. Those who know
her best describe her as a person who
takes pride in doing good work and
who can be counted on to be on the job
every working day.
Mrs. Eanes receives the towels after
the labels are sewn on. She folds them
in one dozen lots. She makes a neat fold
and is careful to keep the edges straight.
This enables the wrapper, in the next
operation, to make an attractive pack
age.
Long experience and a cooperative at
titude make Mrs. Eanes a skillful and
dependable employee, capable of turn
ing out high production of good quality
work.
Towel Mill Lists Its
Top Weavers, Fixers
Listed below are the Towel Mill’s
“top” quality weavers and loomfixers
for the most recent periods of record.
The “Weavers of the Week” are those
with the lowest per cent of seconds
in relation to the standards for the
various loom groups.
The top loomfixers are determined
through a combination of low seconds
and high loom efficiency on the sections
for which they are responsible.
In addition to being published in The
Mill Whistle, names of the leading op
erators are posted weekly on the weave
room bulletin board.
