Only Work and Profit Will Do The Job
In an era of costly government social programs and high taxes,
Norman A. Bailey, economist, Columbia University, New York, puts
into a few words some basic truths that we are too prone to forget.
Bailey says: “The only way to develop the economy of any country
is through the formation of capital. There is no other way. Only work
and profit will drive away poverty.
“If the underdeveloped wish to progress, they must discard the
illusion that they can have high wages and costly programs of social
welfare, and at the same time rapid industrial development.
“The most prosperous countries, as well as those with the highest
degree of social justice, are those operating within the framework of
political freedom, free enterprise, high profits regularly reinvested,
and a government that confines itself to a limited number of public
needs and functions.”
No Place Like Home-For Accidents
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home — for accidents,
that is.
Home accidents are responsible for twice the number of disabling
injuries as work accidents — and nearly twice the deaths. Nearly one
out of four of these accidents happen to workers off the jab.
Remember to take safety with you when you leave work, says the
National Safety Council. Accident prevention is a round-the-clock job.

Towel Mill Honors
Top Weavers, Fixers
The Towel Mill’s list of top quality
weavers and loomfixers carries several
new names, indicating continuing keen
competition for the quality titles.
To encourage quality and efficiency
in the weave room, the Towel Mill each
week singles out for recognition the
weavers and fixers with the best re
cords.
Names of the leading operators are
posted on the weave room bulletin board
and are printed in The Mill Whistle.
The “Weavers of the Week” are those
with the lowest per cent of seconds
with respect 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.
The leading operators for the most
recent periods of record are listed be
low.

About Heart Failure
By DR. J. A. SANFORD
Medical Director, Fieldcrest Mills
Heart failure! Our misconceptions
about this term go back to childhood
when we used to say, “I was so scared
I nearly had heart failure.” We thought
heart failure meant to drop dead.
Heart failure does not mean the heart
stops beating. A failing heart continues
to work, but with less strength than is
needed for good health.
Medical science has found ways to
strengthen the heart and to help pa
tients control their heart failure.
_ Congestive heart
failure occurs when
the heart’s ability to
circulate the blood
normally through
the body has been
weakened by some
form of heart or
blood vessel dis
ease. Among these are hardening of
the arteries (arterio sclerosis) as in
coronary disease, severe high blood pres
sure, rheumatic fever, and birth heart
defects.
Ordinarily, heart failure does not
come on suddenly. The following symp
toms may develop;
1. Difficult breathing during ordinary
activity.
2. Frequent waking at night with
shortness of breath.
3. Swelling of ankles, legs, and some
times abdomen.
4. Rapid increase in weight, due to
water in tissues.
Seeing a physician is advisable should
any of these symptoms develop. With
medical care, heart failure need not
make an invalid of the patient. Most
