Vann of Ihe Bishop Company Is Guest Speaker ' What two million hypodermic needles could do to the anatomy was brought indirectly but none theless forcefully to the minds of local Rotarians Friday as they held their luncheon meeting at the Village Inn with J. G. Vann as guest speaker. Mr. Vann, whor is production superintendent at the local plant of J. Bishop and company, told the group that this recently es tablished local enterprise is turn ing out an average of two million needles a month, which is a size able percentage of the national monthly requirement of 25 to 30 million. The speaker traced the history of the manufacture of hypodermic needles and other fine instruments back to the days of J. Bishop, who was born in 1806 and became the founder of the company wjjich still bears his name although it is now owned by Johnson Matthey, Ltd., of London. In the early days, Mr. Vann said, the needles were made of platinum and other costly metals. Mr. Bishop helped develop the method of making stainless steel tubing small enough for hypoder mic needles, and was one of the first to develop the oxyhydrogen torch. Practically all of the orders fill ed at the local plant are for cus tom made needles, he disclosed. Mr. Vann expressed his appre ciation of the excellent coopera tion of local people. At the present time around 200 persons are employed" at the plant, 90 to 95 per cent of the number being women, as it has been found that they can handle the needles more skillfully than men. Applicants are given both intelli gence and dexterity tests. The employees come from within a radius of 25 miles, including near by communities and the towns of Rockingham, Hamlet, Raeford and Sanford. The company, Mr. Vann stated, is planning a survey of labor pay scales in this section in order to cornpete fairly with other local industry. The speaker was introduced by Herbert Cameron, a member of the September program commit tee. Russell Lorenson, president, ap pointed Johnny Hall as general chairman of the annual Hallo ween Festival, and committees are to be named this week. The group sang “Happy Birth day” to honor A. -C. Dawson and Don Jensen, and the president welcomed two visitors. J. F. Sul livan of Wellesville, N. Y., and H. O. Channon of West Frankfort, Ill. Twenty-three of the club’s 26 members were present. A turkey dinner was served. LEGION POST MEETS Sandhill Post No. 134 of the American Legion will meet at the Legion hut. Southern Pines, at 8 p. m. next Tuesday.

One big accomplishment of the one-day term was the signing by Judge Pless of about 100 non suit judgments in old cases, run ning back several yehrs, in which parties concerned had agreed to such settlements.
