Trimmers Improve.
Work has really improved since
Dot Harper visited us from Winona
Mrs. Harper is head Trimmer in
Winona and she has been down here
showing the Trimmers, Patchers,
and other workers how to eliminate
bad work.
Production slowed down for
awhile, but is back to normal and
better than ever. Much credit is due
Dot because she is such a wonder
full and patient person. The last
time she was here, the Trimmers
along with a few others gave her
a beautiful compact. We are all SO
grateful to her because the work
certainly improved. The operators
r doing so much better and we
think they realize the Importance
of their jobs and good work.

The Trimming Department of the
Durant Delta Chenille plant about
which you have heard so much is
headed by Mrs. w. E. Mary Dur
ham. Mrs. Durham has made her
home in Durant for many years and
needs no introduction to anyone.
This lady has been a valued en-
ployee of the Sanders organization
for nearly three years. She will have
been working in Durant for three
years in January of the ensuing year.
Trimmers Work
After the chenille robes come
from the dye room they are carted
to the Trimming Department where
they are examined carefully for
strings, faulty work, etc. The work
of the trimmers is done on long
tables where the robes are placed
after being brought from the dye
room. The trimmers stand as they
examine and trim the robes.
Among the trimmers are Mrs.
Ruth Burrell, Mrs. Bobby Riser, Mrs.
Bena Stonestreet, Mrs. Alice Sharpe,
Mrs. Emma Harrison, Miss Lorraine
McNeer, Mrs. Sarah Adcock, Mrs
Dona Bouchillon, Mrs. Ina Harden,
and Mrs. Pearl Campbell.
Members Used
On faulty work the members get
busy with needle and thread and
sew up the places needed. In this
department on some robes a machine
is used for really large repairs.
Members are Miss Mary Julia Net
ties. Mrs. Ola Price and Mrs. ElOise
Hughes.
Potchers Employed
It takes only two patchers fol

OUR SAFETY RECORD
BY Guy c. Collier

In the September issue of "The
Sanderscope" the accident frequency
rate for our Durant plant was 346.2
which is over 40 times higher than
the average for plants of like operat-
ions.
In other words, our plant ex-
perienced 346. injuries requiring the
service of the company physician for
every million employee-hours work
ed. There must be a reason for this
urreasonably high rate because
Accidents don't just happen-there
is always a cause"
Our frequency rate for the month
of July was highter than the total
of all the other Sander Industries.
This does not speak well for our
plant, because we have operated in
the past several months without
having any accidents at all.
The main cause for the accidents
occurring at the Durant plant is
"CARELESSNESS" on the part of
the individual employee. The man.
agement has provided every safe
guard considered practical to pre-
vent employees from receiving in
Jury, and working conditions have
been made most desirable in order
that hazards might be held to an
absolute minimum. Signs carrying
Safety Messages and Instructions are
displayed throughout the building,
fire extinguishers of correct type pro-
vided, fire exit drill plans for the
safe excavations of all plant per-
sonnet put into effect, fire escapes
and springler system installed-au
for the protection of the employees
and to make sure that we may have
q safe place in which to work.
Since all of our accidents are the
direct result of the very unsafe act
on the part Of the employee, it Is
the responsibility Of every individ-
nal associated with any activity at
the Durant plant to cooperate in
the Safety Program. Know your
job, know the hazard Of each operat-
ion. Do not attempt to do jobs un-
Less authorized to do so by your
supervisor. If you do not know how
to do the job safely, ask your super
visor. They will be glad to help.
In order to remove this black mark,
every person must put forst special
effort to see that taking unnecessary
chances is avoided and to work
safely at all times.
Personal SufetY Check List
Accidents have definite causes. BY
checking over the list of personal
safety tendencies, you can find out
what there is about your person
that might cause you to have an
accident.
/. Do you believe in Safety, or do
you think it is something for "the
other fellow"
2. Are you careful to use machine
guards and all other safety appli-
ances, or are you careless in this
respect?
g. Do you pay attention to your
work, or do you let other persons

Fire Drill Held By
PIunt This Week

In line with our program to adj
vance safety practices in the Durant
Delta Chenille plant a fire drill was
held this week under the direction
of Mr.. Guy c. Collier, safety
direcor.
The fire drill was a success in
every way and we were able to
ey cuate he building in less than
five minutes. We plan to be able
to do even better in the future.

New Futhers Here

New Fathers Here
We have new fathers and birth
days this week and last. I guess by
now every one has heard about the
new arrival at Tommie Wigley's
house. They have a new boy, named
Thomas Edwin Wigley. We don't
know who is going to do the most
Dragging, Tommie or Charlie
Walker. Why, just the other day
Charlie said that his baby had start
ed talking, and the baby is only
about four months old. I guess the
old saying is right, Dragging comes
natural with new papas."

MurY Sheppard Back
The workers were sure glad to see
Mary Sheppard come back to work
after several days of absence. Her
son was operated on in the Holmes
County Community Hospital several
days ago and we were all SO glad
that he is getting along well. Some
of the employees sent him a few
gifts which Mary said he thoroughly
enjoyed and the money left over is
going for lots of cokes, he said.

We Miss Annie Word

We do miss Annie Ward, but really
enjoy having her husband, Jimmie,
to pinch hit for her. Jimmie is man
ager of the plant in Kosciusko and
is really nice to work for. We think
all the workers agree with that
statement. Don't get us wrong
though because we all feel the same
way about Annie Ward.
