AMERICAN RED CROSS
Know the difference between an
A and a B in shoe width? Just one
sixth of an inch! There’s the same
difference between sizes 6 1-2 and
7, too—in fact, every shoe size va
riation, whether in length or
Avidth, represents one sixth of an
inch.
A. C. Hedgepeth, E. H. Suess-
muth and R. Quillen Ward are
all serving as Directors of the
Rocky Mount-Nash County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross.
Ward is Vice Chairman of this
chapter, Hedgepeth is Chairman
I of the Accident Prevention Com
mittee,' and Suessmuth is Chair
man of the Budget Committee.
We all know what an important
part the American Red Cross
plays in our everyday life and it
is commendable that our em
ployees take such an active part in
this worthwhile organization.
A wise man has well reminded
I us that in any controversy the in-
j stant we feel anger we have al-
! ready ceased striving for truth
and have begun striving for our
selves.—Carlyle

A Fisherman’s Dream
Some of the boys from Caromount
third shift
Went off one day on a fishing trip
To Morehead they went, with
their rods and reels.
Thier luck is something you can’t
cbnceal.
Paul and Red and Fonza too,
Are boys from here, that we all
knew.
But Crook and Walter were there
also.
And others who were ready and
raring to go.
The boys, well, they caught a hun
dred sixty-eight.
Some weighing twelve down to
three pounds straight.
The luck they had is what most
fishermen dream;
And a darn sight better than cake
and ice cream.
SAFETY REVIEW
LTse Protective Equipment and
Safe Tools
In any good safety program it
is necessary that safe equipment
be provided and used.
So far the only accident at Ca
romount during the month of Oc
tober which required medical
attention could have been pre
vented with the use of protective
goggles.
In not using protective goggles
while operating a spot welding
machine, an employee received a
painful burn in the eye from fly
ing hot metal sparks.
The eye is a very precious and
sensitive organ. Any injury to the
eyes is very painful and requires
a long time for complete recovery.
Protect your eyes—wear gog
gles when grinding, or chipping,
or burning, or where foreign
matter is in the air.
Keep proper guards on your
machines—Report missing guards
or other safety devices. Request
protective equipment if it is not
available.
Work Safely For Your Life’s Sake
The reason Cupid makes so
many bad shots is because he is
aiming at the heart and looking
at the Nylons.
For greatest satisfaction, win
dow shade rollers should be at
least one inch in diameter. Since
the roller is such a small part of
the cost of the shade, it pays to de
mand the best roller.
The Boy Scouts of Troop 1
are putting in quite a bit of tir
and thought to the decoration
the Patrol Corners and the pk
ing of their awards and ribbon
which they have won through
years. They are very proud of
new cabin and are looking fn
ward to the dedication of tlif
cabin in December. It is hop
that each individual of the m
and the Community as a wlm
will become more interested in
Scouting Program and its pof‘
bilities for a boy, and help nia'
