Ten Steps Required In Making One Zipper
By RONALD CLARK
WOODLAND - When this re
porter arrived at the Talon zip
per plant in Woodland for a story
plant manager Tom Boyd said,
“I have 10 minutes to explain to
you how a zipper is made.”
You would thank that Talon
would make a Talon zipper but
Boyd said that the Woodland plant
manufactures a Falcon zipper.
Boyd, a native of Erie, Pa,,
has been with Talon for 30 years.
He became manager oftheWood-
land plant in 1958,
He said the zlK>er gets its start
when the raw materials, tape and
metal, are fed into a chain ma
chine. The chain machine at
taches the metal, referred to as
scopes, to the tape through a
pulley operation.
It is then taken to a steaming
and flexing operation to keep it
hot and wet before going to the
rolling mill which rolls it to
size while it is still hot and wet.
The zipper then goes to a dry
ing area where the tape is dried.
If the zipper order calls for an
enamel finish it then goes to an
enamel machine. The enamel fin
ish is used mostly in women’s
wear and articles.
It then moves on down the line
KEEP THE ZIPPER MOVING—These men are responsible for
the zipper production at Talon Zipper plant in Woodland. They
are from left, J. L. Golden, industrial engineer; L. D. Bowen,
chief inspector; Pete Davis, supervisor of planning; W, B, Mar
tin, maintenance foreman; T. B. Boyd, plant manager, and H. D,
Byrd, general foreman production.

to the gapping operation where
they are marked for length for
the customers. The zippers can
be cut In lengths from 1 l/2
inches to 96 inches.
Upon completion here they then
go to the bottom stop operation
where two pieces of chain are
fastened together permanently.
This is to keep the slider, which
opens and closes the zipper,
from going past the end of the
zipper.
The slider is put on after the
bottom stop and then a top stop
is put on to keep the slider from
going past the front of the zipper.
The line of zippers, still all at
tached on one long tape, is taken
to the cutting operation where
they are cut into the lengths the
customers have ordered.
The last operation before
reaching the shipping depart
ment is the inspection depart
ment where they are carefully
checked for defects and packed
into boxes of 100.
Boyd said that the plant uses
200,000 gross yards of tape a
day or 1,880,000 yards. The tape
comes from a plant in Stanly
and the metal comes from one of
Talon’s plants located in Mead-
ville, Pa.
The plant works five days a 160 workers with a payroll of
week 24 hours a day and employs $600,000 annually,

4-H'ers Hove Fun At Camp
By JILES HARRELL
On August 16 at 8 a.m, a bus
was waiting at the Agricultural
Building to carry us to4-HCamp
in Ellerbe. After saying good-bye
several times to our parents and
friends, we were on our way.
At lunchtime, we stopped to
eat in Fayetteville. Everyone had
packed his lunch at home, so we
just got a drink.
Soon we reached camp and ev
eryone was cheering. We met
with the staff leader and were
shown to our cabins. We unpack
ed and made our beds.
After supper, we met in the
Recreation Hall for a short meet
ing. We were given a schedule
for the activities at the camp
that week.
In the mornings afterwe awoke,
we had to clean the cabins. We
had flag raising and then had
breakfast.
Right after breakfast we had
chore time. Each group had a
certain duty, like dining hall duty
or cleaning grounds. Then we
would have a short assembly and
give an award to the cleanest
cabin. We left assembly and went
to our classes. We had four
classes each day: swimming,
wildlife, handicraft, and recre
ation. The last two days we had
an electric class instead of a
wildlife class. For handicraft, we
made Jewelry boxes for our par
ents. After classes the store
opened and we could buy candy
or drinks.
We always had good meals and
after lunch was rest period. We
could read, write letters, or play
quietly.
Then we played softball, volley
ball, or tether ball for our sports
also swimming and canoeing.
Each night we had assembly.
On Wednesday night we had stunt
night and the banquet on Friday
night. We could dance after as
sembly until vespers.
My favorite classes were
swimming and wildlife. The ball

games were fun too! The Head
group won the softball tourna
ment and the Handsgroupwonthe
volleyball tournament.
Saturday morning, we were
all sad when we had to roll up
our bed clothes and pack to leave.
We left immediately after
breakfast. We ate at a barbecue
restaurant on the way home. It
had been a week full of fun and
we all enjoyed it.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
By JO ANN NANCE
1 have taken a room Improve
ment project for the last two
years. 1 like to rearrange things
in my room and improve the
looks and comforts of my room.
The first year I moved into a
larger room so I could have all
my things in there Instead of
scattered aroimd the house, and
I could have the adjoining bath
room. I made a few small im
provements last year. This year
I have worked on improving my
room and bathroom. I rearranged
my bedroom so 1 could get to my
desk easier and have more room.
In Electric Workshop I made
a lamp for my desk. In my bath
room I made a dresslngtable and
fixed a skirt for the dressing
table to match the curtains which
I made for my room and my
bathroom. We fixed some old
bookcases which had been taken
out of the living room and put
them in the end of the hall at my
room door for all of my books.
We cleaned out and fixed a stor
age closet with shelves for my
games and toys. This gives me
more room in my room.
All of the furniture In my room
belongs to my sister. I am saving
all of the money 1 earn to buy
my own bedroom furniture this
year.
I have enjoyed this project and
all my other projects in 4-H
very much.
