' _ Fill First Order w Operations at East Coast Headwear in Chinquapin have been underway two weeks and Plant Manager Hilda Houston said the first contract for 5,000 dozen caps is being processed. Currently 15 employees have been hired to make the caps and Houston said about 15 more people will be hired. P When the plant begins full production, about 300 dozen caps will be made daily; only about 75 dozen a day are being turned out at the present time, she said. Caps are shipped pre-cut to the Chinquapin plant where, Houston said, five employees sew the six sec tions of the crown together. When the crown is as sembled, another group of four employees bind all un finished edges and seams. At the same time a group of four employees are busy making cap visors. Visor covers are sewn together and then stuffed with a stiff cardboard"' and top-stitched. The crowns and v'sors are joined in the same operation in which the sweatband is sewn in to line the bottom of the cap. Com pleting the cap, two employees will be tacking size adjustors in the rear. The plant makes two basic caps, Houston said, winter and summer. The summer cap is made of an all-mesh or a part-mesh and part bonded material crown. Winter caps are made with crowns using all bonded material, Houston explained. According to Houston, the demand for caps has in creased while the price has stayed reasonable which has made them go&d for use in advertising. Since opening day, Houston said, many local citizens have stopped at East Coast Headwear to inquire about purchasing caps. The sale of caps from the Chinquapin factory is handled by the company owner in Richmond. Va. No caps are presently available for local sales at the Chin quapin plant. The factory is located on Highway 41 in Chinquapin. ' Draughon Attends International Management Academy Stephen A. Oraughon of Century 21?

FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE SUN was based on the importance of Jewish people in the founding of Charleston. The play included 16 scenes and a cast of 160 people. The three-hour production was centered around a displaced Bavarian family named Schuman. The drama por trayed the tale of the Schu-' mans as they came to America under the sponsor ship of a Charleston mer chant.
