SCHOOL GETS SECOND DONATION

[Column 1]

Slater Company
Remembers School

The Slater-Marietta School
will receive another substantial
donation Thursday night,
November 13, 1947, at a public
meeting of patrons and friends
to be held at Slater Hall at
7:30 P. M.

Frank A. Cook, Director of
Industrial Relations for the
Carter Mills of which Slater is
a part, will present the check
to J. A. White, Plant Manager
of the Slater Manufacturing
Co., Inc. and Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the local
school.

Mr. Cook is a former resident
of Slater and is a former mem-
ber of the Board of Trustees of
the local school. He is well
known to the majority of the
residents of Slater and the sur-
rounding community, and it is
with a great deal of pleasure
that his friends will welcome
him "home" and at the same
time hear him speak.

Dr. R. E. Jaggers, of the
faculty of the University of
South Carolina in Columbia,
will deliver the address of the
occasion. Dr. Jaggers joined
the faculty of the University of
South Carolina at the begin-
ning of the present school year.
He was formerly a member of
the faculty at the University of
Kentucky. This will be his first
appearance before a Slater
audience, but advance notices
state he is a speaker of note,
and those attending are
scheduled to hear an interest-
ing address.

A number of notables have
also been invited, and it is
hoped many will be able to
attend. Among those invited
are: Governor and Mrs. J.
Strom Thurmond, Senator Bur-
nett R. Maybank, Senator Olin
D. Johnston, Congressman
Joseph R. Bryson, State

Lighting System
Improved In Mill

The Colter and Chappel
Electrical Company of Win-
ston Salem, N. C. has completed
the work of changing the
wiring and installing fluores-
cent lights throughout the
plant here at Slater. Rep-
resentatives of this company
began this work on July 7 and
completed the work during the
week ending November 8.

In addition to installing the
flouorescent lights in the mill,
this company has also put in
good shape the street lighting
here at Slater. Some poles have
been moved, limbs and
branches of trees have been cut,
and some new wiring installed
wherever necessary.

R. C. Campbell of Charles-
ton, S. C. was the superinten-
dent on this job. Al Granger,
known to many Slaterites as he
was formerly connected with
Renfrew Bleachery as a worker
and baseball player, was the
foreman on this job. Al is now
residing at Route #1, Travelers
Rest, S. C.

The Colter and Chappel Com-
pany has also done work for
other mills in the Carter group.
They have worked at the
Cleveland Cloth Mill in Shelby,
N. C., Stanley Mill at Stanley,
N. C., and the Carter Fabrics
plant at South Boston, Va.

As he was preparing to leave
Slater, Mr. Campbell made the
remark that he and his men
have been treated better at Sla-
ter than at any place they have
ever worked, and that it was
with genuine regret that they
leave Slater to go elsewhere.
He especially commended the
fine cooperation and treatment
