WITH OUR
VETERANS

Barney E. DeWease, Jr.

Prior to his induction, Bar-
ney was employed as a cloth
doffer in Weave Room No. 1.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Barney DeWease of Slater.
After serving six months in the
states, he was shipped overseas
to the Asiatic-Pacific Area,
where he saw action in three
major campaigns, Iwo Jima,
Oahu and Guam. Barney re-
turned to work here on his
former job soon after receiving
his Honorable Discharge in
April 1946. At the time of his
discharge from the Navy, he
was S-1/C.

James L. Batson

This man first began working
for our Plant in 1938, and at
the time of his induction was
employed as a yarn checker in
the Preparation Department.
He remained in the states twen-
ty-six months, and served with
the Corps of the Military Police.
He served almost two years in
the E. T. O. and saw action in
battles in Ireland, Scotland,
and England. James received
his Honorable Discharge Dec.
20, 1945, and returned to work
at this Plant as a supply clerk
in May, 1946.

Perry M. Rampey

Perry began working here as
a weaver in 1939 and was em-
ployed in Weave Room No. 1
at the time that he was called
to service in May, 1943. He re-
mained in the states fifteen
months before going overseas,
where he served nineteen
months in the E. T. O., partici-
pating in battles in French,
Belgium, and German territory.
In a few days after receiving
his Honorable Discharge in
April, 1946, Perry accepted his
old job back here.

William M. Lybrand, Jr.

Before coming here to work
in 1943, Mr. Lybrand was Gen-
neral Overseer in the Prepara-
tion Department at Stanley
Mill. He was employed by this
Company as an Overseer of the
third shift in the Preparation
Department, and was still em-
ployed as overseer when he was
called to the Army in May,
1944. He received the regular
rifle training and special train-
ing as a radio operator. He
served sixteen months in the
E. T. O., where he was on active
combat duty during two major
campaigns. Almost immediate-
ly upon receiving his Honor-
able Discharge, Mr. Lybrand
returned to work with us. He
is now enrolled as a Veteran
Trainee in our Weaving De-
partment.

John M. Jackson

John was working here as a
slasher helper when he joined
the Navy in Oct., 1944. After
receiving six months of train-
ing in the states, he shipped out
and served one year in the Pa-
cific Area, where he was on ac-
tive combat duty during the
campaign of Okinawa. He was
discharged as S-1/C April 1,
1946, and returned to work on
his former job with us in June.

John D. Edwards

John entered service with the
Navy in March of 1944. Before
that time he worked for our
Plant in the Cloth Room as a
packer. He received three
months of training in the
states, then shipped out to the
Pacific Theater. He remained

LET'S PLAN THAT
HALLOWEEN PARTY

Now that the boys are re-
turning to work in increasing
numbers, Halloween offers a
wonderful opportunity for a
mixed evening party - reunion
or get-aquainted variety. If
someone is lucky enough to
have a house or large apart-
ment, so much the better, but a
good party doesn't ask for
more than a clean floor and a
desire to have a good time.

As always, the main prob-
lems confronting the hostess at
any gathering are those having
to do with food and entertain-
ment, so we have here a few
suggestions. By all means have
six or eight others share the
expense, work and ideas. It is
too easy for the party to become
a burden when one person is
responsible for it, and there are
few ways of becoming ac-
quainted as successful as en-

were Mrs. Allison Hathaway,
matron of honor, and Miss Rob-
bie Bishop, bridesmaid.

The bride, who was given in
marriage by her father, wore a
light blue gabardine suit with
black accessories. Her corsage
was red rose buds.

Immediately after the cere-
mony, a reception was held at
the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Barney E. De-
wease, of Slater.

Following a week's honey-
moon trip to Lookout Moun-
tain, Chattanooga, Tenn., the
couple are now at home at No.
207 Butler Avenue, Greenville.

Out of town guests who at-
tended the wedding included
the following: Mr. J. M. Hath-
away and Mr. and Mrs. Allison
Hathaway, from Pageland; Mr.
Joe Ward, Greensboro; Miss
Robbie Bishop, Greenville; Mrs.
Mrs. L. R. Morgan, Mrs. Minnie
Buckner, Mrs. Vivian Howling-
ton, Miss Ethel Buckner, and
Mr. Cecil Buckner, all from
Asheville; Mrs. Talmadge May-
field, Greenville; and Mr.
James Henderson from Green
River.

Births

Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Poole

Charles Anthony, born October

Travelers Rest.

Mrs. Poole is the former Miss
Grace McCarson.

listing in a dish-washing corps.

If you have four or five car-
owners on your guest list, pro-
gressive dinners are an excel-
lent idea. One or two people
can be responsible for cock-
tails; another couple for soup
and salad; a third in the next
block or upstairs apartment
can serve the main course; a
fourth can prepare dessert; and
the fifth will lend her living
room for the evening. If your
dining room table is small, the
serving can be simplified by
letting the guests help them-
selves buffer style and putting
trays on their laps or on end
tables. If your living room is
large, the group can be divided
up and placed at bridge tables.

If the party is an after-din-
ner event, a few light refresh-
ments served half-way through
the evening will suffice. Potato
chips and popcorn can be
brought in big cans, and a large
mixing bowl of cream cheese,
anchovy paste, onions and
Worcestershire sauce is an ex-
cellent concoction for potato
chip dunkers. Incidentally, cold
drinks are a must with the
above.

As for the entertainment side
of the party, an old game cur-
rently enjoying a revival is one
appropriately called ''Ghosts.''
''Ghosts'' can be played by any
where from 6 to 30 people and
requires only a sheet, a black
cloth and a broom. The direc-
tor and a person chosen by the
group to be ''it'' stay in the
room while the rest of the
guests leave to choose the
Ghost. He re-enters wearing a
sheet which trails on the floor
and which is held above him by
the broom to disguse his height.
The black cloth is used as a
mask and is pinned or pasted
to the sheet where the face
should be. Then the person
who is ''it'' must guess the
identity of the Ghost. If he
does guess the name of the
Ghost, the Ghost becomes ''it.''
If not, he must pay a forfeit.
Then a new ''it'' is chosen and
the game continues.

A game for the sedentary is
nameless as far as we know,
but consists of cutting out and
pasting on shirt laundry card-
board advertisements from the
Saturday Evening Post, Ladies
Home Journal or other maga-
zines of that size. The object
of the game is to include the
picture and slogan of the prod-
uct but not the name, then hold
up the cardboard before the
guests and have them write
down the name of the product.
The player who guesses the
most products correctly may be
given a prize, or may be asked
to pay a forfeit - announced at
the end of the game.

Basketball is a popular sport
at Slater. Plans are underway
for several teams here at Slater
this winter.

scribes to approximately fifty
periodicals.
