PI 'V ?v;Wp^P Page Two More Than 500 1 Guests Enjoy Holi More than 650 employees and guests attended the picnic given by Phenix Mills, local unit of Burlington Mills Corporation, on Saturday, August 9, at Phenix Park. The program began at 4 o'clock irt the afternoon and was climaxed by a picnic dinner served at tlx. The plant was closed for the day, this being one of the regularly sche duled holidays given the employees during the summer months. Most of the workers took advantage of the opportunity to bring guests, and ail of the families were well represented. The first thing on the schedule was a softball game between the overseers and tim spinning doners. Frank Adams, overseer in the winding department directed the play of the overseers; and Frank (China) Davis did the masterminding for the doffers. George Peeler, Superintendent, did the umpiring, until Adams, continually dissatisfied with his decision, took him out of the game, led him off into the bushes, and "shot" him. The game was stopped, but the final score had not been determined at last reports. To mention stars of the game would be impossible, both teams playing jam-up ball all the way. Ail entries in the rolling pin throwing contest showed great skill, but.Iva Lee Pearson placed first and Grace Huffstickler was second. Out of forty entries in the horseshoe pitching tournament, two teams battled down the stretch with Wlilard Dotson and Lewis Carroll, the winners, and James Reinhart and James Harrison, the runners-up. The winners of the egg toss contest were Fred Pearson and Roy Pearson, and in second place were Ernest Seism and George Pasour. 'The costume race, limited to four men, resulted in a display of masculine pulchritude modeling the latest in women's wear. The winner was Ernest Seism in a close race with Harry Wilson, who placed sec ond. To the winners in a!) contests went certificates for Burlington Made products, which will be order ed through the Burlington Mail Order System, a plan availame to all workers. The menu, consisting of fr;ed chicken, corn on the cob, slaw, tomatoes, potato salad, pickles, light bread, lemonade, coffee, ar.d ice cream, was prepared and served by Okie Moore and his assistants. An amplifying system was used for the playing of records during the afternoon program. Saunders \ *.
