Safety Glasses Save
Employee’s Eyesight
Except for the fact that he was wear
ing safety glasses, a Fieldale Towel Mill
employee would most likely have lost
the sight of his left eye.
John W. Hall, a weaver, was blowing
off a loom. The air hose lashed and
the metal nozzle struck his safety glass
es. The left lens was completely shat
tered, indicative of what would have
happened to his eye, had be been with
out his safety glasses.
Mr. Hall’s name was submitted for
membership in the Wise Owl Club of
America. Membership in the club is
awarded to persons whose eyesight has
been saved by wearing eye protection
at the time of a potentially blinding ac
cident.
The Wise Owl Club was established
by the National Society for the Pre
vention of Blindness in 1948. Since that
time approximately 45,000 Wise Owl
memberships have been awarded.
