More Than 500 P
Guests Enjoy Holii
More than 650 employees and'
guests attended the picnic - given
by Phenix Milis, local unit of Burlington
Mills Corporation, on Saturday,
August 9, at Phenix Park.
The program began at 4 o'clock irl
the afternoon and was climaxed by [
a picnic dinner served at six.
The plant was closed for the day, j
this being one of the regularly sche f
duled holidays given the employees j
during the summer months. j]
Most of the workers took advan- |
tage of the opportunity to bring i,
guests, and all of the families were \
well represented. ,
The first thing on the schedule j
was a softball game between the ]
overseers and the spinning doffers. 't
Frank Adams, overseer in the wind.
ing department directed the play of [
the overseers; and Frank (China) j
Davis did the masterminding for '
the doffers. George Peeler, Superin- (
tendent, 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 1
been determined at last repons. To |,
mention stars of the game would be |
impossible, both teams playing I
jam-up ball all the way. j
All entries in the rolling pin j
throwing contest showed great skill, }
but .Iva Lee Pearson placed first i
and Grace Huffstickler was second.
Out of forty entries in the horseshoe
pitching tournament, two j
teams battled down the stretch with ;
Wlllard Dotson and Lewis Carroll,
the winners, and James Reinhart i
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. I
'The costume race, limited to four
men, resulted in a display of mascu- ;
line pulchritude modeling the la- '
test in women's wear. The winner .
was Ernest Seism in a close race ;
with Harry Wilson, who placed sec t
ond. ,
To the winners in all contests '
went certificates for Burlington \
Made products, which will be order ]
ed through the Burlington Mall Or- t

bread, lemonade, coffee, and ice i
cream, was prepared and served by \
Oliie Moore and his assistants. (
An amplifying system was used f
for the playing of records during the t
afternoon program. i
