Oak City Pupils Report On Visit To Halifax Mills Observe Processes for Mak ing Upholstering In Plant At Roanoke Rapids It.v Cclisi sWHs Several home economics girls under the supervision of their teacher, Miss Frances Eakes, in spected the manufacture of uphol stery in the large mills at Roanoke Rapids and visited other places of inte-est last week-end The tour began at 8 a. m. when Peggy Thomas, Giadvs Thomas, - Ann Fulmer, Burnice Edmondson, Susie Lynch, Uldeon Edmonds. El ienar Eubanks, Alice Edmondson, Inez Smith, Maxine Hyman, Cath erine Haislip, Modolen Hudgins,; Louise Respess, Fannie Hardison, Annie Mae Hale, Mary Zell Suits, i Louise Gurganus, Mable Mat- ' thews, Norva Purvis, Edith Stalls, Gaynell Briely, Doris Beddard, Francess Bryant, Mildred Taylor, and Celia Stokes boarded the bus with Miss Eakes and were intro- j riured to Henry Glissen, our bus driver who showed a whole-heart ed spirit of cooperation during the entire trip. We arrived at Roanoke Rapids about 9:15 a. m. and immediately went to the Roanoke Mills No. 1 and 2 where we were accepted graciously and treated as million aires. There we were divided into three groups and guided through the mills and told each process and some of us obtained samples of the processes for our scrapbooks. In this factory they made upholsterying and we found it very interesting to note the deli cacy of the weaving machines whicn . would stop if only one thread broke. About eleven-thirty we paid a visit to the pulp mill but because of the rain we were unable to see about half of it which was out of doors. We also secured samples of these processes, and a large roll of brown paper for the department, i The aroma wasn't any too pleas ant and in one room several of the girls became faint and called for fresh air which was not to be had on those premises Mr Stoph- • enson, chief chemist, entertained us in his laboratory bv showing us experiments that are made on the j finished paper before it is mark THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . For the second time this year motorists on Martin j County highways traveled through a week without an accident. But they did the ! same thing in the eighteenth week, a year ago, leaving the n"W« rev;an "UI<hoiH*;-<7f »lltVS2t~ tage this year.

Although our appetites had been partially taken in our last visit we then rode up town and parked beside a trash can whien in turn was beside a durg store. You can't imagine the expression that appeared on the face of the soda jerkess (girl) when Celia Stokes, alone and unattended, marched in and placed an order for twenty eight pepsi colas. After dinner a few of the girls visited Browns Furniture store while waiting for the others to rest their toes. It was about one o’clock p. m. when wc again boarded our bus and went to pay a visit to the Rosemary Mill No. 2. Wc again observed the processes as we had done earlier in the day and found it more interesting since we knew a little about it and so listened more to our guide rather than gaze at the amazing machines. Here we were pointed out how the thread colors changed at spec ial intervals weaving the pattern. This mill produces outing and flannel. Here we, again, obtained samples of the processes. Along about two-thirty p. m. wc left the mill section of town and went to the shopping center where we purchased souviners to remember the trip. About the time most ol us had spent all our money we went sight seeing in ‘‘Leggetts” and by the look which the floorwalker gave us 1 judge our visit wasn't entirely appre ciated and w ho else wants twenty 1 John G.

At 3:15 p. m. we left the termin al for Weldon where we arrived about 3:45. We first visited the Weldon Furniture Store to ob serve its stock. We were given a few bulletins and things, and- for our department, a cream colored wastebasket. Ti'mon Furniture Store was next. There we re ■■■■• ,-rd ••ojivjpers and. 1 of a floor lamp for the department j well as small i..ane Cedar Chests lor all the girls who visit ed the store. After leaving there we went to Joyners where we | girls were showered with expen sive gifts as small jewelry (leather picture frames. waif ! plaques, and a table for the de partment. Moving then to Scotland Neck ■ with our treasures we visited the Scotland Neck Furniture Store where we were given a chair for the department and fly swatters for each individual. The Colonial Furniture Store gave us a rug and the Dixie Furniture Store a maga zine rack. We appreciate all these gifts immensely and recommend the stores to all. We found it very interesting to compare the color schemes carried out by the stores and the types of furniture sold by them. Then we returned home with over a hundred dollars worth of individual gifts among us and around seventy-five dollars worth for the department. Everyone enjoyed the trip and again to our teacher, bus driver and all who participated in mak ing this trip for us a pleasant one we express our deepest apprecia tion by saying “Thanks.” -® The farmers of Edgecombe County have won the Atlantic i Cotton Association’s 1945 award to the North Carolina county making the greatest improvement , in cotton production.
