These wings were added in 1939 to the main building which was constructed in 1914, as well as can be established. According to H.M. Floyd, former superintendent, the additions were a part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) project with the ,gyinnasium being constructed ~t the same time. Floyd recalled last week that the brickS and the Inaterial used for the framework of the wings came from the demolition of a Johnsonville tobacco warehouse which was dismantled fo~ this project. The wings were reportedly constructed at a total cost of $12,000, and of that amount the cost to the school district was mly $3,000. Prior to this time, the tobacco warehouse had been utilized for basketball games and other functions such as the ·annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The east wing, at the time of construction, housed the first and second grades. The west •• •• •• ' ! • • •. . • ' ' ' • wing included the Home Economics room and a high school classroom. ''At the time of this project,'' Floyd said, ''This was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to the school district, for this was the first time we had indoor plumbing.'' Before this tiµle the plumbing was limited to a sink with a cold water faucet in the upstairs Home Economics room and two water fountains in the main entry hall provided by an electric pump, such as is used in the country today . . Tentative plans for the old building is that it will be used for district offices and storage . Increased office space is needed since the County School Superintendent's Office has been abolished and the bookkeeping which was done in Florence will of necessity be done locally. • The Francis Marion College Department of Fine Arts will present Margaret Norwood and Benjamin Woods in recital Sunday, October 24 at 3 p.m. Located in Founders Hall.

WELLMAN BOARD CHAIRMAN, WELLMAN INDUSTRIES, INC . n the last issue of the Topics I urged each one of you to get out and vote for 'the candidates of your choice. By exercising your right to vote, you would be voicing your opinion on what direction our country should take. This right to vote was something that was fought for you many years ago. The reenactment of the battle at Black Mingo and the victory by Francis Marion as brought out In this issue of the Topics again reminds us of the great struggle that our forefathers went through nearly two hundred years ago. I'm sure many of you had this in mind when you cast your vote on November 4. As shown by the results of the election, both on the state and national level, you voiced opinions that I am proud to share with you. We must curb inflation, limit government spending, have a strong military force, stop government's un• necessary regulations in too many areas of our lives, and create an atmosphere in which the free enterprise system can become the leader and moving force in our economy that it deserves. As we celebrate Christmas and look forward to better years to come, keep in mind that we all have to work and take part in helping to realize our future goals and expectations. We can not just sit back and expect others to take care of us for the rest of our lives. Best Wishes to you and your loved ones during this Holiday Season.

That's how the hundreds of gifts he annually brings to Wellmanites were transported to Johnsonville from one of his North Pole field warehouses. It would take a very big sleigh to handle the wide variety of Christmas presents on the list Santa received from Wellman employees. The most requested gifts this year included stainless steel cookware, a 40-piece wrench-socket set and multi-speed food mixers. There were a lot of toys also on the list. Many of those are expected to show up around family yule time trees on Christmas morning. page 3 �Walter Robinson And Bill Miles Break Ground For Energy Plant WELLMAN'S SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO E A REAL 1 ENERGY SAVER W ellman Industries, Inc. has · become the first industrial firm in South Carolina to break ground for a plant to convert municipal and industrial solid waste into steam energy. The 8,000 square-foot "Solid Waste Disposal and Energy Production System" plant is being constructed on a five-acre site just south of the sprawling Wellman facilities at Johnsonville. Designed to be a real energy saver, the system will consist of modular combustion units fitted with an energy recovery boiler to recover heat in the form of steam. The facility was designed to process 50 tons of refuse per day. The twostage, controlled air process will pAge4 produce a relatively clean emission into the atmosphere. The company has received an Incinerator Construction Permit from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). Wellman has been notified that the permit application was reviewed by the DHEC engineering staff and that with proper operation and maintenance, the proposed unit will comply with South Carolina Air Quality Control Regulations and Standards. The permit issued by the Bureau of Air Quality Control states that tests indicating compliance with applicable standards will be required prior to issuance of a permit to operate. "The energy plant will replace the consumption of approximately 700,000 gallons of fuel oil of 100 million cubic feet of natural gas annually. " - John G. Wellman, Sr. Wellman Operations Service Manager Walter Robinson said the construction of the energy plant should take about a year. The facility will create jobs for 11 additional employees. Board Chairman John G. Wellman said the energy-producing facility is in support of the national effort to reduce the consumption of energy and at the same time reduce the energy costs of Wellman Industries. "The energy plant will replace consumption of approximately 700,000 gallons of fuel oil or 100 million cubic feet of natural gas annually," Wellman pointed out. The company presently uses fuel oil and natural gas in the production of steam used in its various manufacturing processes. Wellman said that during the past two years, the cost of fuel oil had doubled, the cost of natural gas had increased by about 70 percent and that in the past six years, the contract cost for handling the company's solid waste had doubled . "The reduction of the energy costs to Wellman Industries witl favorably affect the continued competitiveness of our operating costs and thusly should assure our employees of more job security," Wellman emphasized. The steam generation facility will use Wellman's own industrial refuse in addition to municipal and county trash. This use of processed waste at Wellman is expected to allevi_ ate the ever increasing problem of the availability and cost of acceptable landfill space. Wellman has entered into a 15-year contract with the county of Georgetown reserving for the company a maximum of 15,000 tons per year of its processed municipal solid waste. It has been estimated that the savings to the taxpayers of Georgetown County for every ton that it does not bury is approximately three to four dollars plus an increase in the useful life of the present land field acreage. The company is currently negotiating with Williamsburg County officials whereby that county may also offer its citizens the benefits which may come from a similar arrangement in disposing of county waste. No agreement has been reached at the time Wellman Topics went to press, Wellman said. The City of Johnsonville has also expressed the desire to utilize the Wellman facility for disposal of its municipal waste. Johnsonville Mayor Connie S. Decamps has stated that an arrangement with Wellman Industries would create economic benefits to the town and to its citizens. Disposal of city trash at the Wellman facility would eliminate the 56 round-trip miles to the Florence County Landfill by city vehicles and the need to purchase a new packer-type vehicle could possibly be eliminated. Wellman stated that the company's investment is the result of successful negotiations and cooperative arrangement between private industry and city and county governments and that no federal or state funds are being used . "This is a milestone in energy conservation," Wellman concluded. �F or most Wellmanites, Christmas is not only the time to honor the birth of Christ, but a time for families and friends to get together. It's a time for feasting and a special time for children. Samuel Walker, who drives one of those big Wellman tractor-trailer rigs, has had "the Christmas spirit since about Thanksgiving. Christmas means a lot to me. It's the birthday of Jesus. I've already told Santa Claus what the kids want. My little boy wants a big, tractor-trailer like the one I drive." Jo Ann Webb, Spinning, is looking forward to "good things to eat and exchanging gifts on Christmas. Of course, we shouldn't forget what Christmas really is and we should honor Jesus. Christmas means a lot of fun for the children, a time for everyone to enjoy one another." Midge DuRant, Personnel, agrees that Christmas is "that time of the year when people seem to be more considerate of others. It is a time for families being together, to perhaps be a little care free while forgetting world problems." Alene Nettles, Production Control smiled that this Christmas "will be a time to show the boy friend off to the family . I'm not saying what I'm giving him for Christmas but I'm expecting something nice from him." Dennis Daniels, Fiber Finishing, said he has "a whole lot to be thankful for ... glad to be around for another Christmas. We'll be visiting my mother and family up in North Carolina. We'll also have dinner with my wife's folks in Hemingway." Kenneth Hucks, Superwash, said Christmas is his "favorite time of the year. The whole family will be home to eat Mama's cooking. Nobody cooks like Mama. She makes a great nut cake." Eisenhower Legette, Sorting, has enjoyed shopping "especially for a hobby horse for my little girl Tris. She'll get other things, too, like a tricycle. Christmas is a special time when the happiness of children rubs off on the grownups." Siner Woodbury, T. 0. Preparing, will spend Christmas "with the kids and remembering that this is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. Wouldn't it be nice if the whole world followed in his peaceful footsteps." Wi 11 iam Marlow, Combing, noted that "Christmas is a happy time. I like to see the day celebrated in simple ways for it is the Lord's birthday. Gifts are nice but Christ's birth is the greatest gift of all." Cynthia Parks, Administration, sees Christmas as "a time for family and friends getting together to honor the birth of Christ. Every Christmas is special." Frances Lewis, Sorting , is loo king forward to her nine-months old baby Dennis having his first Christmas . It will also be nice for my little girl Elaine. Having that time with the family is very nice." Midge DuRant Alene Nettles a. Cynthia Parks Eisenhower Legette Frances Lewis �Cheryl Scott Leon Richardson Gregory E. Huggins Harry K.

T Christmas carols were sung by the kids All tucked in their bed page 10 housands of persons turned out to view this year's Christmas parades in Hemingway and Johnsonville. Sponsored by the Business and Professional Association in Hemingway and the Pee Dee Junior Woman's Club in Johnsonville, the parades were easily among the best to announce that Santa Claus will soon be coming to town. Santa was the star of both parades but he had to share the billing with beautiful girls, politicians and colorful floats adorned with hundreds of young people. While many themes were included, the most impressive ones were floats reminding the crowds about what Christmas is all about - the celebrating of the birthday of Christ. High-stepping majorettes and area high school marching bands provided the tempo for the parades as they moved through Hemingway and Johnsonville. One of the Johnsonville floats reminded the crowd that Americans are still being held hostage in Iran for the second straight Christmas. Area beauty queens participated Ride 'em cowboys Bright faces extended greetings of the season A truck load of happy carolers �A salute to the colors A Revolutionary War cannon was demonstrated by the Swamp Fox Battalion of the S. C. National Guard QtlJristmas Was Different In The Days Of Francis Marion · Jltstnrtc iiattlt ®f Witt iilack :!ltngn f&ttnartth The Baron Prepares For His Christmas Feast At Williamsburg n the days when Francis "Swamp Fox" / Marion roamed the Pee Dee countryside, Christmas was a time to honor the birth of Christ, to do a little hunting and to sit down to a big feast at plantation houses. The banquet, reminiscent of holiday dining in old England, was lavish at some plantations. The Baron's Feast, presided over by "the Baron " himself at historic Williamsburg, Va., recalls those colonial day banquets. The delicacies included both fowl and pork from the farm and game from nearby forests. Some early settlers, however, discouraged feasting and observing Christmas other than to honor Jesus in worship services. Frivolous celebrations were not regarded by them as the proper thing to do in observance of the birth of Christ. It was in the south, largely, that the ancient customs of caroling, mummering, feasting, page 12 hunting and lighting firecrackers became an American Christmas tradition. Christmas was celebrated in South Carolina even during the bitter Civil War. This Christmas season in Williamsburg is being celebrated with the gracious hospitality and time-honored traditions handed down from the days of Francis Marion. Homemade decorations, beautifully decorated homes and the warm glow of candlelight from hundreds of windows diminishes winter's chill. It's Christmas without the garish glitter of multi-colored lighting displays and the artificiality of plastic wreaths and snow made of foam. It's Christmas with the enticing aroma of mince-meat tarts and the burning of oak logs in an open fireplace. There is roping of the greens, mistletoe and holly. An old fashioned Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Wellmanites everywhere. T he year 1780 was a most critical time for South Carolina's Whigs, seeking their independence from Great Britain. Savannah and Augusta were in British hands; Charleston and Georgetown had fallen. In mid-August, the Americans suf• fered one of their worst defeats of the Revolutionary War when General Horation Gates, hero of Saratoga, was routed at Camden . It was against this grim background that a spark of hope was ignited by partisan leaders in the Pee Dee such as Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion. Marion and his Williamsburg Militia demonstrated that guerrilla warfare with a few dedicated men could turn the tide. That happened near Black Mingo Creek on September 28, 1780 - a date recalled 200 years later by a reenactment of historic battle by Georgetown and Williamsburg counties. Hundreds of men and women who work at Wellman Industries live in "Swamp Fox Country" - named for the hero of Black Mingo and other battles of America's bat• tleground of freedom. It is a proud heritage suitably recalled at a time when America needs to return to old-time patriotism . A number of events were commemorated during the recent Low Country History Festival but none was more colorful nor more soul-stirring than the reenactment of the Battle of Black Mingo. One of the best descriptions of the battle is included in the book "Swamp Fox" by historian Dr. Robert D. Bass who now lives in Marion County. Marion and his troopers were up, cooking, eating and tending their horses before dawn on the day of the battle. From their hideaway in the swampy woodlands not far from present-day Johnsonville, they rode to meet tne enemy . Marion could not swim and there was no ferry to cross the Little Pee Dee River. He feared water but he did not fear death. He clinged to the pommel of his saddle and held on as his horse swam the river. His men followed. From there, they moved on past Hickory Hill, Port's Ferry, Witherspoon's Ferry and crossed Lynches River. They had heard Colonel John C. Ball and his British troops were encamped around Dollard's Tavern. James Fowler, a rich merchant in Charleston and a rice planter on Black Mingo Creek, established a trading post called Willtown in the early 1700's. A jolly Irishman named Patrick Dollard had an inn at Willtown. Also called a tavern, it was known as the Red House. it was from the Red House that the British went to meet Francis Marion when they heard his horses crossing an old wooden bridge. The Battle of Black Mingo lasted only 15 minutes, but for the scant hundred men involved it was bloody. Of his 46 men, Ball left three dead and 13 wounded or captured. Several others died of their wounds. Marion left two dead and two of his fighters so riddled by buckshot that they never again saw action. He left his six wounded at Dollard's Inn. Marion captured the enemy's guns, ammunition and baggage. Their triumph, however, was the capture of the blooded horses of the Tories. One of them was a spirited gelding that had been Colonel Ball's charger. Marion claimed the horse, bridle and saddle of his defeated rival. With puckish humor, he renamed the steed Ball. Marion's Black Mingo triumph over the Tories and blow for American independence, as reenacted, is shown by the photographs on these four pages. It is a proud heritage for the land Wellman Industries is proud to claim as home. �Battle flags were paraded An empty saddle for a fallen warrior Women shared the hardships of the war Battle scenes were depicted by men dressed in authentic American, Hessian and British uniforms A wounded soldier is removed to safety The victors passed in review Long rifles were typical of Revolutionary War weapons Retreat at Black Mingo Heroes of the historic battle stand by for inspection The honor guard moved out front �N ews01akers Wellmanites Busy With Community Activities W Battle colors were sheathed and presented to the presiding officer Camp fires were used to prepare food for the troops State Senator Bill Doar welcomed the crowd The British made Collard's Tavern their headquarters Beth Little and Dr. Johnstone Parr wear costumes of tHe period.

Elaine Tanner, R.N., has received the South Carolina Nurses' Association 's "Excellence in Practice Award" for 1980. The wife of John E. Tanner, in Data Processing, she was presented the award at the South Carolina Nurses' Association convention in Columbia. "This award is the highest honor a nurse can receive from the association," said SCNA President Cora Marie Nelson, R.N., of Newberry. "Our 'Excellence in Practice Award' is presented each year to a nurse engaged in clinical practice who has been instrumental in influencing superior patient care. Mrs. Tanner works with the Waccamaw Health District. Frances Owens, Personnel, has been named the Vice Chairperson of the Pee Dee Area Personnel Club Officers of the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce. The organization includes corporate members from 104 area businesses and industries. R. L. Port, Lanolin Recovery, has drawn a salute from South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation President Harry Bell. Port is the president of the Georgetown County Farm Bureau. Bell said it is the state winner in percentage gain in farmer membership during 1980. The Georgetown chapter is in the top ten of membership gain statewide and placed second for best coverage of a Farm Bureau event, the staging of the Georgetown County Farm Bureau Day.

Plastics Gets Delco Remy Award T he Wellman Plastics Division has received a "Quality Achievement Award " from Delco Remy for producing high-quality material used in the company's manufacturing process. L. J. Salzman, director of Reliability and Quality Control at Delco Remy, a division of General Motors, said products received from Wellman and other American companies prove that there is still high quality work being done in this country. " Quality is as American as apple pie and Wellman Plastics is a good example of a quality manufacturer. The products produced by your employees and shipped to Delco Remy during 1980 were of excellent quality," Salzman said . "Your organization and personnel are to be congratulated for a "quality job - well done." We look forward to your continued quality performance in the future," Salzman said. He said Delco Remy has noticed a steady improvement in the quality of American made goods during recent years. · i 1 Their Ideas Got Christmas Cash St. Clair Huggins Ready For Santa S t . Clai r Huggins has had a lot more time to do his Ch ri stmas shopp ing and yuletime visiting this year as a ret iree from Wellman Industries. " But I do miss my friends at Wellman . I made a lot of good friends there and hope to get by to see them every now and then ," Huggins said. At Wellman for 15 years , he spent most of his time in Su pp ly. He's living in Hemingway where, so far, since ret iring he has " mostly loafed, f ished a little and visited a lot ." " I don 't have any spec ial plans for Christmas . I'm t hankful t hat I am feel ing better and my health has improved . I have a pacemaker in me now and I feel better t han I have in a long ti me. I'm thankful for that ," he said . Huggins saw a lot of changes during his 15 years around the long bins and counters in Supply. " There are thousands of items in Supply and there is a need for every little bolt and nut there. They try to stock everything the company needs to keep the machines going," he said . He said "Supply operates kind of like a store where orders for everything from tiny bolts to giant pieces of equipment weighing hundreds of pounds are found. Requisition forms instead of money is the currency there." He said Supply has grown during the past few years to meet the needs of a growing Wellman Industries. Supply had only a few hundred items 15 years ago. The inventory now includes thousands ot items. T. J . Hanna, T. 0 . Maintenance, and Jessie W. Hug hes, Fi ber Mai ntenance, have a little ext ra Christmas cash they picked up by participating in the Wellman Suggestions Awards program . Hanna's winning suggestion was to take the brush drive belt off Cards and replace them with a positi ve chain drive to eliminate problems of constant belt breaking. Hughes suggested the Spin Pump drive shafts on Line #5 be replaced by stronger ones. Made by him, they are stronger and require less maintenance and up-keep than the ones they replace.

WELLMAN BOARD CHAIRMAN, WELLMAN INDUSTRIES, INC . n the last issue of the Topics I urged each one of you to get out and vote for 'the candidates of your choice. By exercising your right to vote, you would be voicing your opinion on what direction our country should take. This right to vote was something that was fought for you many years ago. The reenactment of the battle at Black Mingo and the victory by Francis Marion as brought out In this issue of the Topics again reminds us of the great struggle that our forefathers went through nearly two hundred years ago. I'm sure many of you had this in mind when you cast your vote on November 4. As shown by the results of the election, both on the state and national level, you voiced opinions that I am proud to share with you. We must curb inflation, limit government spending, have a strong military force, stop government's un• necessary regulations in too many areas of our lives, and create an atmosphere in which the free enterprise system can become the leader and moving force in our economy that it deserves. As we celebrate Christmas and look forward to better years to come, keep in mind that we all have to work and take part in helping to realize our future goals and expectations. We can not just sit back and expect others to take care of us for the rest of our lives. Best Wishes to you and your loved ones during this Holiday Season.

That's how the hundreds of gifts he annually brings to Wellmanites were transported to Johnsonville from one of his North Pole field warehouses. It would take a very big sleigh to handle the wide variety of Christmas presents on the list Santa received from Wellman employees. The most requested gifts this year included stainless steel cookware, a 40-piece wrench-socket set and multi-speed food mixers. There were a lot of toys also on the list. Many of those are expected to show up around family yule time trees on Christmas morning. page 3 �Walter Robinson And Bill Miles Break Ground For Energy Plant WELLMAN'S SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO E A REAL 1 ENERGY SAVER W ellman Industries, Inc. has · become the first industrial firm in South Carolina to break ground for a plant to convert municipal and industrial solid waste into steam energy. The 8,000 square-foot "Solid Waste Disposal and Energy Production System" plant is being constructed on a five-acre site just south of the sprawling Wellman facilities at Johnsonville. Designed to be a real energy saver, the system will consist of modular combustion units fitted with an energy recovery boiler to recover heat in the form of steam. The facility was designed to process 50 tons of refuse per day. The twostage, controlled air process will pAge4 produce a relatively clean emission into the atmosphere. The company has received an Incinerator Construction Permit from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). Wellman has been notified that the permit application was reviewed by the DHEC engineering staff and that with proper operation and maintenance, the proposed unit will comply with South Carolina Air Quality Control Regulations and Standards. The permit issued by the Bureau of Air Quality Control states that tests indicating compliance with applicable standards will be required prior to issuance of a permit to operate. "The energy plant will replace the consumption of approximately 700,000 gallons of fuel oil of 100 million cubic feet of natural gas annually. " - John G. Wellman, Sr. Wellman Operations Service Manager Walter Robinson said the construction of the energy plant should take about a year. The facility will create jobs for 11 additional employees. Board Chairman John G. Wellman said the energy-producing facility is in support of the national effort to reduce the consumption of energy and at the same time reduce the energy costs of Wellman Industries. "The energy plant will replace consumption of approximately 700,000 gallons of fuel oil or 100 million cubic feet of natural gas annually," Wellman pointed out. The company presently uses fuel oil and natural gas in the production of steam used in its various manufacturing processes. Wellman said that during the past two years, the cost of fuel oil had doubled, the cost of natural gas had increased by about 70 percent and that in the past six years, the contract cost for handling the company's solid waste had doubled . "The reduction of the energy costs to Wellman Industries witl favorably affect the continued competitiveness of our operating costs and thusly should assure our employees of more job security," Wellman emphasized. The steam generation facility will use Wellman's own industrial refuse in addition to municipal and county trash. This use of processed waste at Wellman is expected to allevi_ ate the ever increasing problem of the availability and cost of acceptable landfill space. Wellman has entered into a 15-year contract with the county of Georgetown reserving for the company a maximum of 15,000 tons per year of its processed municipal solid waste. It has been estimated that the savings to the taxpayers of Georgetown County for every ton that it does not bury is approximately three to four dollars plus an increase in the useful life of the present land field acreage. The company is currently negotiating with Williamsburg County officials whereby that county may also offer its citizens the benefits which may come from a similar arrangement in disposing of county waste. No agreement has been reached at the time Wellman Topics went to press, Wellman said. The City of Johnsonville has also expressed the desire to utilize the Wellman facility for disposal of its municipal waste. Johnsonville Mayor Connie S. Decamps has stated that an arrangement with Wellman Industries would create economic benefits to the town and to its citizens. Disposal of city trash at the Wellman facility would eliminate the 56 round-trip miles to the Florence County Landfill by city vehicles and the need to purchase a new packer-type vehicle could possibly be eliminated. Wellman stated that the company's investment is the result of successful negotiations and cooperative arrangement between private industry and city and county governments and that no federal or state funds are being used . "This is a milestone in energy conservation," Wellman concluded. �F or most Wellmanites, Christmas is not only the time to honor the birth of Christ, but a time for families and friends to get together. It's a time for feasting and a special time for children. Samuel Walker, who drives one of those big Wellman tractor-trailer rigs, has had "the Christmas spirit since about Thanksgiving. Christmas means a lot to me. It's the birthday of Jesus. I've already told Santa Claus what the kids want. My little boy wants a big, tractor-trailer like the one I drive." Jo Ann Webb, Spinning, is looking forward to "good things to eat and exchanging gifts on Christmas. Of course, we shouldn't forget what Christmas really is and we should honor Jesus. Christmas means a lot of fun for the children, a time for everyone to enjoy one another." Midge DuRant, Personnel, agrees that Christmas is "that time of the year when people seem to be more considerate of others. It is a time for families being together, to perhaps be a little care free while forgetting world problems." Alene Nettles, Production Control smiled that this Christmas "will be a time to show the boy friend off to the family . I'm not saying what I'm giving him for Christmas but I'm expecting something nice from him." Dennis Daniels, Fiber Finishing, said he has "a whole lot to be thankful for ... glad to be around for another Christmas. We'll be visiting my mother and family up in North Carolina. We'll also have dinner with my wife's folks in Hemingway." Kenneth Hucks, Superwash, said Christmas is his "favorite time of the year. The whole family will be home to eat Mama's cooking. Nobody cooks like Mama. She makes a great nut cake." Eisenhower Legette, Sorting, has enjoyed shopping "especially for a hobby horse for my little girl Tris. She'll get other things, too, like a tricycle. Christmas is a special time when the happiness of children rubs off on the grownups." Siner Woodbury, T. 0. Preparing, will spend Christmas "with the kids and remembering that this is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. Wouldn't it be nice if the whole world followed in his peaceful footsteps." Wi 11 iam Marlow, Combing, noted that "Christmas is a happy time. I like to see the day celebrated in simple ways for it is the Lord's birthday. Gifts are nice but Christ's birth is the greatest gift of all." Cynthia Parks, Administration, sees Christmas as "a time for family and friends getting together to honor the birth of Christ. Every Christmas is special." Frances Lewis, Sorting , is loo king forward to her nine-months old baby Dennis having his first Christmas . It will also be nice for my little girl Elaine. Having that time with the family is very nice." Midge DuRant Alene Nettles a. Cynthia Parks Eisenhower Legette Frances Lewis �Cheryl Scott Leon Richardson Gregory E. Huggins Harry K.

T Christmas carols were sung by the kids All tucked in their bed page 10 housands of persons turned out to view this year's Christmas parades in Hemingway and Johnsonville. Sponsored by the Business and Professional Association in Hemingway and the Pee Dee Junior Woman's Club in Johnsonville, the parades were easily among the best to announce that Santa Claus will soon be coming to town. Santa was the star of both parades but he had to share the billing with beautiful girls, politicians and colorful floats adorned with hundreds of young people. While many themes were included, the most impressive ones were floats reminding the crowds about what Christmas is all about - the celebrating of the birthday of Christ. High-stepping majorettes and area high school marching bands provided the tempo for the parades as they moved through Hemingway and Johnsonville. One of the Johnsonville floats reminded the crowd that Americans are still being held hostage in Iran for the second straight Christmas. Area beauty queens participated Ride 'em cowboys Bright faces extended greetings of the season A truck load of happy carolers �A salute to the colors A Revolutionary War cannon was demonstrated by the Swamp Fox Battalion of the S. C. National Guard QtlJristmas Was Different In The Days Of Francis Marion · Jltstnrtc iiattlt ®f Witt iilack :!ltngn f&ttnartth The Baron Prepares For His Christmas Feast At Williamsburg n the days when Francis "Swamp Fox" / Marion roamed the Pee Dee countryside, Christmas was a time to honor the birth of Christ, to do a little hunting and to sit down to a big feast at plantation houses. The banquet, reminiscent of holiday dining in old England, was lavish at some plantations. The Baron's Feast, presided over by "the Baron " himself at historic Williamsburg, Va., recalls those colonial day banquets. The delicacies included both fowl and pork from the farm and game from nearby forests. Some early settlers, however, discouraged feasting and observing Christmas other than to honor Jesus in worship services. Frivolous celebrations were not regarded by them as the proper thing to do in observance of the birth of Christ. It was in the south, largely, that the ancient customs of caroling, mummering, feasting, page 12 hunting and lighting firecrackers became an American Christmas tradition. Christmas was celebrated in South Carolina even during the bitter Civil War. This Christmas season in Williamsburg is being celebrated with the gracious hospitality and time-honored traditions handed down from the days of Francis Marion. Homemade decorations, beautifully decorated homes and the warm glow of candlelight from hundreds of windows diminishes winter's chill. It's Christmas without the garish glitter of multi-colored lighting displays and the artificiality of plastic wreaths and snow made of foam. It's Christmas with the enticing aroma of mince-meat tarts and the burning of oak logs in an open fireplace. There is roping of the greens, mistletoe and holly. An old fashioned Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Wellmanites everywhere. T he year 1780 was a most critical time for South Carolina's Whigs, seeking their independence from Great Britain. Savannah and Augusta were in British hands; Charleston and Georgetown had fallen. In mid-August, the Americans suf• fered one of their worst defeats of the Revolutionary War when General Horation Gates, hero of Saratoga, was routed at Camden . It was against this grim background that a spark of hope was ignited by partisan leaders in the Pee Dee such as Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion. Marion and his Williamsburg Militia demonstrated that guerrilla warfare with a few dedicated men could turn the tide. That happened near Black Mingo Creek on September 28, 1780 - a date recalled 200 years later by a reenactment of historic battle by Georgetown and Williamsburg counties. Hundreds of men and women who work at Wellman Industries live in "Swamp Fox Country" - named for the hero of Black Mingo and other battles of America's bat• tleground of freedom. It is a proud heritage suitably recalled at a time when America needs to return to old-time patriotism . A number of events were commemorated during the recent Low Country History Festival but none was more colorful nor more soul-stirring than the reenactment of the Battle of Black Mingo. One of the best descriptions of the battle is included in the book "Swamp Fox" by historian Dr. Robert D. Bass who now lives in Marion County. Marion and his troopers were up, cooking, eating and tending their horses before dawn on the day of the battle. From their hideaway in the swampy woodlands not far from present-day Johnsonville, they rode to meet tne enemy . Marion could not swim and there was no ferry to cross the Little Pee Dee River. He feared water but he did not fear death. He clinged to the pommel of his saddle and held on as his horse swam the river. His men followed. From there, they moved on past Hickory Hill, Port's Ferry, Witherspoon's Ferry and crossed Lynches River. They had heard Colonel John C. Ball and his British troops were encamped around Dollard's Tavern. James Fowler, a rich merchant in Charleston and a rice planter on Black Mingo Creek, established a trading post called Willtown in the early 1700's. A jolly Irishman named Patrick Dollard had an inn at Willtown. Also called a tavern, it was known as the Red House. it was from the Red House that the British went to meet Francis Marion when they heard his horses crossing an old wooden bridge. The Battle of Black Mingo lasted only 15 minutes, but for the scant hundred men involved it was bloody. Of his 46 men, Ball left three dead and 13 wounded or captured. Several others died of their wounds. Marion left two dead and two of his fighters so riddled by buckshot that they never again saw action. He left his six wounded at Dollard's Inn. Marion captured the enemy's guns, ammunition and baggage. Their triumph, however, was the capture of the blooded horses of the Tories. One of them was a spirited gelding that had been Colonel Ball's charger. Marion claimed the horse, bridle and saddle of his defeated rival. With puckish humor, he renamed the steed Ball. Marion's Black Mingo triumph over the Tories and blow for American independence, as reenacted, is shown by the photographs on these four pages. It is a proud heritage for the land Wellman Industries is proud to claim as home. �Battle flags were paraded An empty saddle for a fallen warrior Women shared the hardships of the war Battle scenes were depicted by men dressed in authentic American, Hessian and British uniforms A wounded soldier is removed to safety The victors passed in review Long rifles were typical of Revolutionary War weapons Retreat at Black Mingo Heroes of the historic battle stand by for inspection The honor guard moved out front �N ews01akers Wellmanites Busy With Community Activities W Battle colors were sheathed and presented to the presiding officer Camp fires were used to prepare food for the troops State Senator Bill Doar welcomed the crowd The British made Collard's Tavern their headquarters Beth Little and Dr. Johnstone Parr wear costumes of tHe period.

Plastics Gets Delco Remy Award T he Wellman Plastics Division has received a "Quality Achievement Award " from Delco Remy for producing high-quality material used in the company's manufacturing process. L. J. Salzman, director of Reliability and Quality Control at Delco Remy, a division of General Motors, said products received from Wellman and other American companies prove that there is still high quality work being done in this country. " Quality is as American as apple pie and Wellman Plastics is a good example of a quality manufacturer. The products produced by your employees and shipped to Delco Remy during 1980 were of excellent quality," Salzman said . "Your organization and personnel are to be congratulated for a "quality job - well done." We look forward to your continued quality performance in the future," Salzman said. He said Delco Remy has noticed a steady improvement in the quality of American made goods during recent years. · i 1 Their Ideas Got Christmas Cash St. Clair Huggins Ready For Santa S t . Clai r Huggins has had a lot more time to do his Ch ri stmas shopp ing and yuletime visiting this year as a ret iree from Wellman Industries. " But I do miss my friends at Wellman . I made a lot of good friends there and hope to get by to see them every now and then ," Huggins said. At Wellman for 15 years , he spent most of his time in Su pp ly. He's living in Hemingway where, so far, since ret iring he has " mostly loafed, f ished a little and visited a lot ." " I don 't have any spec ial plans for Christmas . I'm t hankful t hat I am feel ing better and my health has improved . I have a pacemaker in me now and I feel better t han I have in a long ti me. I'm thankful for that ," he said . Huggins saw a lot of changes during his 15 years around the long bins and counters in Supply. " There are thousands of items in Supply and there is a need for every little bolt and nut there. They try to stock everything the company needs to keep the machines going," he said . He said "Supply operates kind of like a store where orders for everything from tiny bolts to giant pieces of equipment weighing hundreds of pounds are found. Requisition forms instead of money is the currency there." He said Supply has grown during the past few years to meet the needs of a growing Wellman Industries. Supply had only a few hundred items 15 years ago. The inventory now includes thousands ot items. T. J . Hanna, T. 0 . Maintenance, and Jessie W.

Hanna's winning suggestion was to take the brush drive belt off Cards and replace them with a positi ve chain drive to eliminate problems of constant belt breaking. Hughes suggested the Spin Pump drive shafts on Line #5 be replaced by stronger ones. Made by him, they are stronger and require less maintenance and up-keep than the ones they replace.

WELLMAN TOPICS PUBLISHED BY WELLMAN INDUSTRIES • JOHNSONVILLE, S. C. 29555 • WINTER, 1976 �SPOTLIGHTING Myrtis Powell From John G. Wellman She would like to spend Board Chairman a lot more time with her grandchildren As we celebrate this Christmas Season, let's reflect on what has made our country, industry and our well being a reality. Things just don't happen without human involvement and energies. This has been possible through the many Americans prior to our time as well as those involved in the current future of this great country. Two hundred years seems to be a long time, but as we measure the existence of the free enterprise system and freedom of each individual in the U.S.; we find that freedom has been with us for only 200 of the nearly 2,000 years since the birth of Christ. Just what has made our country the leader in the world today? Thanks to our forefathers and their great wisdom and vision, our country has been able to grow and exert itself as a leader through the profits of industry in our nation. Without this economic system, we would not be able to join together and share our love with our families and friends in such comforts and freedoms. During this season, as we give thanks to God, let's be reminded of what our Nation Under God has been able to accomplish. This country has been able to achieve more than anyone 200 years ago could have thought possible. This has not happened by chance alone, but, only through our free enterprise system was it made possible. We may not be perfect, but we're the best the world has ever known. Our future depends on your involvement and efforts to support our system just as our forefathers gave their energies to develop. I f Myrtis Powell had her way , just about all her time would be spent spoiling her grandchildren . She'll tell you at the drop of a hat that they're about the greatest grandchildren around. "I suppose you could say that my hobby is my grandchildren. I enjoy them a lot ," Mrs. Powell smiled. She has been a member of the Wellman family for 21 years. Almost all of those years have been spent in Wool. The family lives in the Muddy Creek section. Janice works at Tupperware . Janice's husband , Gale Hughes , is a Shift Supervisor in Fiber Pre paration . The Hughes have two daughters , Samantha , 6, and Leslie , 2. Butch and Betty Davis have two boys , Johnny , 10 , and Joe , 6. All four of the grandchi ldren are within what Mrs . Powell calls "easy spoiling range'' . The Powells enjoy going to the beach . They have a mobile home at Garden City and it is little more than an hour's easy driving from Muddy Creek. It's a trip they often make . RETIRED Loyd Haselden Is Now Taking Life Easy Best Wishes to you and your loved ones during this Holiday Season on the 200th anniversary of our nation. L Published quarterly by and for the employees of Wellman Industries , Inc., Johnsonville, South Carolina 29555 , under the supervision of Doug Matthews , Personnel Director. Edited by Frances Owens . Member of The Carolina Association of Business Communicators • Produced by Carolina Industrial Press . Printed by Pattillo Pri nting Company, Inc., Florence , South Carolina . "This is going to be a bright Christmas at our house. I've got my Christmas shopping for the grandchildren done. They have a way of letting me know what they want," Mrs. Powell said. "I'm expecting all the children and grandchildren over on Christmas Eve. That has become sort of a lovely tradition for the family," she continued . Her husband Harvey works at Marks Construction Company, headquartered in Marion. They have two daughters, Mrs. Betty Davis and Mrs. Janice Hughes. oyd Haselden has joined the ranks of the fine men and women who have retired from Wellman Industries. "I'm looking forward to having a good Christmas this year. The thing I look forward to most is seeing my friends and members of the family ," Mr. Haselden said. He and his wife Odie Mae Haselden live near Johnsonville. Daughters Rita and Emmaline and sons Ganie! and Laverne occupy mueh of their conversation. " I'm not doing very much that requires work these days. I'm under the care of my doctor and he has slowed me down, " Mr. Haselden said. "I hope it won 't be too long before I can be a little more active. Tell all the folks at Wellman I wish them a Merry Christmas ," Mr. Haselden concluded. 6 �Introducing Alex Holder He's predicting a John Edwards And Ronald Jones Tom Tanner And Alice Bartlette bright future for Fibers Division Wellman Santa Arrived Early For Employees S anta Claus turned up at Wellman Industries with a truckload of gifts. More than 1,200 gifts have been distributed to employees of the company. Each employee picked his or her own gift from a colorful catalog and Junior Mention drove up to Santa's branch office to bring them to Johnsonville. Buddy Wise And Robert WIison A. J. Humphries And Jeanette Rogers Buddy Dennis And Ora Bell Frazier I t has been about seven years since Alex Holder joined the expanding Fibers Division of Wellman Industries. He began as the Manufacturing Manager in the Fibers Division and is now Plant Manager for the division. "I'm proud of this division. I feel it is an important part of Wellman Industries and that we will have a very bright future," Mr. Holder said . The Holders live next door to the plant and that keeps him pretty close to his job around the clock . " I like to be close by in case I'm needed . When I get a chance , I do like to get away to do some bird hunting or fish for bass at Santee Cooper. I'm a 10-handicapper in golf," he smiled. He and his wife Martha have four children including daughters Brenda, a freshman at the University of South Carolina; Terry , a senior at Johnsonville High ; and sons Mark and Jeff , who also attend Johnsonville schools. Mr. Holder doesn't like talking about himself but is not at all reluctant to tell about the Fibers Division. "I believe our filling fiber is the best on the market. We have been successful because everything has been geared toward giving the customer what he wants when he wants it," Mr. Holder emphasized. "Some of the finest carpets in the world are made with Wellman fibers. That is one of the reasons why we have had only one lay-off in 11 years and why this division's history has been one of growth," he boasted. A native of Alabama and a 1955 graduate of Auburn University, Mr. Holder worked with Westinghouse, IT & T, and Beaunit before joining the Wellman team. He is an active member of the Johnsonville First Baptist Church, a Mason, and Past Master of James B. Green Lodge in Raleigh, N. C. "I'm a quality oriented man. Quality is the number one goal in our division. Teamwork is the key to our good quality and production," Mr. Holder said . Energy Saving Ideas Wanted W ellman employees and members of their families are encouraged to take part in a nationwide competition to reward suggestions for ways to use textile products in helping save the nation's diminishing energy supply. The contest is being sponsored by the American Textile Manufac- turers Institute (ATMI). ATMI will pay $5.00 for each idea accepted for inclusion in a new consumer handbook on energy saving . The booklet will be distributed free to consumers in early 1977 . Items to be included in the handbook will be selected for their originality , simplicity , relationship to use of textiles and the potential amount of energy to be saved. Persons wishing to enter the contest may submit their ideas to the Wellman Personnel Office. They will be forwarded to Energy Booklet, ATMI, 400 South Tryon St ., Charlotte, N. C. 28285. Deadline for all entries is January 31, 1977. Ideas accepted for publication will become the property of ATMI. No entries will be returned . 6 �Avant Area Students Gaskins .,, Taken On Clemson Trip ,;,,',,~ I~ ' { q',/ Hanna Rogers ' yV 4 • vef/ Cannon , Wellman And Scott Kim Fenters A SERVICE AWARDS lot of water has gone over the dam since Wellman came to Johnsonville in 1954.

Pretty Girls Waved Hello Kids Filled A Big Choo Choo Biggest Drum In Town �I C. Hanna WORDS FROM WELLMANITES C Gause W. G. Hanna Watson Joye Pam Lewis Queen Of Homecoming Annas They Prefer A Fat Santa alories don't count when it comes to Santa Claus. At least that 's the way the folks at Wellman Industries feel. A survey of members of the Wellman family shows they prefer that Santa remain fat and jolly . Our roving reporter found that most folks don't feel a skinny santa would look like Santa is supposed to look . Clayton Gause , R & D, recalls that his father Willie George Gause, in Preparation , " was a pretty nice Santa and he was on the chubby side . Leave Santa alone. I like him like he is. My special Santa has my little boy Clayton spoiled rotten ." Gene Joye, T. 0 . Maintenance, recalls that " Santa has been fat for as long as I can remember. How in the world are you going to tell a kid that Santa Claus went on a diet and got skinny. Fat Santa laps make happy kids ." " He's right," Carolyn Watson , in Administration , added. " Santa wouldn't look right skinny. I still believe in Santa , a fat Santa. I'm expecting a big fat Santa to come to see me at Christmas . I've given him a lot of hints about what I want ," added Carolyn Watson , in Administrat ion. Willie George Hanna , T. 0. Receiv ing, insisted " kids love him like he is. Too many people are trying to change the nice things . Whoever heard of a skinny Santa?" Bryan Annas , Plastics , said he felt " Santa ought to remain fat. That's his image . People associate Santa's fat with his being jolly ." Carrol Hanna, Fiber Finishing , suggested that " maybe Santa ought to get a checkup. If his doctor says his fat is all right , it's all right. My little Girl Gwen wondered why the Santa who jumped out of an airplane and landed on top of a shopping center in Lake City was so skinny and the one who climbed down the ladder from the store was so fat.

WELLMAN Board Chairman he year 1974 will go down in history as one to be long remembered . Significant changes were made on the national level in Washington and on the state level in Columbia. In addition, many changes have transpired here in our own company during the past year. T Outsiders, understandably, were baffled by what went on in our company as we closed divisions , expanded others, and reduced some. In general, this year has been one of continuous change. I wish I could tell you that there will be few changes during the year to come and that the new year appears to be real promising ; unfortunately, I cannot do this. I can only tell you that changes may continue in our company in 1975. All of these changes are brought abo ut through circumstances beyond our control. If the economy continues to get worse, reflecting in poorer business for our custom ers , in t ime this will result in lower activity in our company . When the economy changes for the better, which with God 's help it will sometime in 1975, then it will mean more business for our customers and ourselves resulting in a better working enviroment for all concerned. Although we have some difficult times ahead of us, your continued support and willingness to do a good job will help make a better and stronger company when we come out of this recess ion . I am optimistic for all of us, because with your assistance we can lower costs and make a better quality product which is necessary for the future . My best wishes to each and every one of you for a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year . WELLMAN TOPICS PERSONNEL Mixed Emotions By DOUG MATTHEWS Personnel Dlrec,or his Christmas Season brings mixed emotions . There is happiness, but also there is sadness. Happiness has been the joy of taking part in a Twenty Year Awards Banquet in which our Retired and Disabled employees with 10 years or more service, as well as bur current employees with 20 years or more service, were honored . To have the privilege of tak.ing part in this occasion was especially gratifying to me. T Of course, one cannot express the excitement in giving out Christmas gifts . This year as we.II as the past was filled with fun as we in Personnel sorted ' the gifts for the supervisors to present to you. During this time, even Scrooge himself would have to get the Christmas Spirit. Sadness has been felt when seeing our laid-off employees pick up their Christmas gifts. Although these employees have shown their appreciation by their expressions and words of thanks such as "You know, most companies forget you when you get laid-off and are only interested in you when they need someone to come back as business picks up , but not Wellman Industries," one cannot be so joyful on these occasions . lhus, as we go through this Christmas Season and experience ha,ppir:iess ar,id sadness, let's not forget to be thankful for the opportunity to share our feelings with one another and look to the future which should see our laid-off employees return.

Of course, we remember Christ especially on his birthday." , Wesley McFadden, Plastics, said this Christmas may mean he becomes engaged and that will mak~ it. one he'll always remember.
