In the manufacture of rayon goods it is necessary to use great care so as not to injure the
yarns that go into the finished goods, thus causing defective cloth. In the picture above, an
operator is lining shuttles with fur so that the delicate threads on the bobbin will not be "bruised"
during the process of weaving.

Football Eleven
(Con't. from page 1, col. 1

on either November 14 or 15
with the "B" team from Parker
High School in Greenville. The
local eleven got off to a late
start this year due to the fact
that the uniforms did not ar-
rive for several weeks after the
school session began, and sche-
dules of opposing teams, for the
most part, had already been
made. Next season, a complete
schedule will be worked out,
and football at the local school
should rise by leaps and
bounds.

So far, the local's line-up is
as follows: Barnett, left end;
Capps, left tackle; Hughes left
guard; Shirley, center; Revis,

right guard; Young, right
tackle; Stroud, right end;
Knight, quarter back; Cox,
right half back; Hampton,
left half back; and Lybrand, full
back. Substitutes are as fol-
lows: Cole, Baker, Snipes, Wal-
drop, and Gossett.

Vision Reports
Go To Employees

Individual vision reports,
showing the results of the
Ortho-Rater tests made some
time ago, are now being mailed
out to employees of the Weav-
ing Department.

Any employee who's vision
is found to be considerably be-
low the standard set for his job
will be checked in paragraph
#3 on the vision report blank.
Those individuals whose re-
ports are checked in paragraph
#3 are requested to contact W.
Earle Reid at the earliest con-
venience and arrange for an
appointment with some profes-
sional eye man.

Any employee who expects
to receive the benefit of a free
eye examination must have a
referral form, properly signed
and authorized, before contact-
ing the eye doctor. Any em-
ployee who goes to a profes-
sional eye man without the
proper forms will be expected
to pay for his own examination.

Plant supervisors will be
glad to help employees contact
Mr. Reid so that proper ar-
rangements for appointments
can be made.

Employees of the Shop,
Warehouse, and other depart-
ments till receive reports on
their eye tests sometime in the
near future.

Educators Hold
First Session

The Greenville County Edu-
cation Association held its first
meeting of the 1946-47 school
year, Thursday, October 17, at
Greenville Senior High School.
"The role of the classroom
teacher in interpreting the ed-
ucational program and its
needs" was the topic discussed
by a panel of teachers from
Greenville County Schools.

It was brought out that the
public needs to be informed as
to the work of the teacher. The
teacher should be able to inter-
pret her work to the commun-
ity, and the pupil is her chief
means of communication to the
public. Too, there is a need
of a county system whereby the
whole county may be informed
as to the activities of the class-
room.
