SYNTHETIC FIBERS, BONDED FIBERS, PLASTICS AND DOUBLE KNITS Volume 6, Number 7 Spring, 1973 Johnsonville, S.C. 29555 Proiect Is Aimed At The Heart Thomas L. Cooper And Nurse Thurman Jean Poston AROUND THE PLANT Coordinators Busy Improving Safety Four new coordinators are busy trying to improve safety for a ll employees at Wellman . Industries. Safety Director Bob Ramage said the four men have been asked to help form safety policy for various divisions around the plant. " Our aim is to make Wellman as safe as possible for all employees . Each of the coor - dinators will work toward that goal ," Mr. Ramage emphas ized . The four include Lamar Poston, Fibers; Bob Harrison, Bonded Fibers; Farrell Lindley, Knitting ; and Ed Tanner, Wool . Mr . Ramage said the four will meet regularly to map safety policy. Any employee with a suggestion on how safety m ight be improved is asked to pass it an to his div ision cordinator . Wellman Industries during coming weeks will cooperate in a special program aimed at finding out why the Pee Dee has one of the highest heart attack raies in the world and just what can be done about the problem. Wellman w i ll cooperate with the South Carolina Heart Association in zeroing in on the disease by assisting in the operation of an automatic blood pressure testing machine and an electrocardiograph analyzer . Free examinations are going to be given to each Wellman employee wanting to take part in the program . Department supervisors are checking to see which employees want to participate in the volunteer program . Plant Nurse Mrs . Thurma Jean Poston and local volunteers wi II operate the testing equipment and analyzer. Employees taking part in the program will be scheduled during their regular work time to go to the First Aid Room to be checked . It's a simple routine that takes only five minutes. The individual first gives needed information about himself. Then, he is hooked up to the machines and the blood pressure and heartbeat is recorded in less than a.minute. The computerized electrocardiograph analyzer measures the strength and quality of the heart's electrica,I activity . All the reading taken during any day of testing are sent to one of several local doctors (cardiologists) for examination. The doctors evaluate the find ings and send the results to the people tested . Whenever the doctor finds something of importance, he tel Is the person tested to see his personal physician. The visit to the doctor is strictly voluntary. This service is being provided Wellman employees who want it . Results of the examinations will be kept secret. Only you, the South Carol ina Heart Association, and your per sonal doctor will know the results of your examination . No one at Wellman Industries will know the results. The Heart Association is helping the Pee Dee by providing this program to combat heart disease. Wei Iman Industries hopes that you will take part. You can get more information by contacting your supervisor, the plant nurse, or the personnel department. The death rate by heart failure in the Pee Dee is the worst in South Carolina, the nation and the world . Let's all do something about it by taking part in this program . Bob Harrison, Farrell Lindley, Lamar Poston And Ed Tanner I Floyd To Be Honored Here All Johnsonville will join in honoring Hector McKinnon Floyd, who will soon retire after serving for 37 years as Superintendent of Johnsonville schools. " H.M . Floyd Day" is scheduled for Sunday , May 20 at Johnsonville High School. Special ceremonies have been planned to recall the outstanding role Mr . Floyd has played in publ ic education for two generations of Johnsonville school children . Many of the students taught by Mr. Floyd and his wife now have children attending Johnsonville schools. Wellman Industries is happy to join in this salute to Mr. Floyd . �M e m o From Management By Jack Belshaw Plant Manager I would like to take the opportunity presented by this issue of the Wellman Topics to commend all the employees whose actions on Monday nite, April 2 were directed to containing the fire in Building 14 and minimizing the damage to buildings, equipment, raw material, and finished goods. Although the fire and the resultant damage is extensive, the actions of employees and the excellent performance of the Johnsonville, Hemingway, Pamplico, Lake City, Howe Springs, and Windy Hill volunteer fire departments as well as the Johnsonville Rescue Squad limited what could have been a larger disaster. Without the help of all, the fire could have caused much more property damage, personal injury, and jeopardized the em- · ·ployment of the over 1,000 of us dependent on Well man Industries, Inc., for our livelihood. With the unfortunate circumstance of the fire fresh in our minds, particularly the minds of those who witnessed the flames high above the buildings and the smoke filled warehouses and operating areas, the reasons for fire prevention instructions and safety rules and regulations become obvious. Smoking rules are not established to cause inconvenience to employees; fire extinguishers are not provided and periodically inspected just for show; safety and fire inspections are not conducted just to comply with federal, state, and local regulations, As we enter a phase of concentrated attention and activity to fire prevention and safety, the need visibly demonstrated by the recent fire should help us remember these activities are designed to prevent a recurrence. By following safety rules and practicing fire prevention, we are protecting both our jobs and our personal safety. Safety and fire prevention is everyone's job--thinking about the April 2 fire should make it easy to understand why. Hannah Chapel, A Pentacostal Holiness Church Where We Worship Hanna Chape l Looking Forward To More Members •:•, •.•. :❖ .... .... •... .... :::: .... .... :::: :::: ,... :::: ,... And A Word From Person ne t By Doug Matthews Personnel Director I've been a member of the fine Wellman family of employees for a year now and the time has come to recall some of the things that have made these few months mostly pleasant ones. One of the unpleasant times was the downturn in the wool business. It has r,ever been pleasant job to check seniority lists for laying off people . As time progressed, however, we were able to place most of those laid off in jobs in other plants. I particuarly enjoyed ',1/akhing the children of Wellman people take part in our Easter Egg hunts. It was also nice meeting many of the families on Family Day and joining in eating barbecue sandwiches. Giving out awards for the f:>iggest fish caught during the first Fishing Contest was also pleasant . I'm looking forward to seeing the new records posted in this year's fishing contest which soon ends. Of course, our first Christmas season in Johnsonville is among the pleasant memories of my first year at Wellman. We enjoyed giving out the Christmas presents . I appreciate the way the community has welcomed me and my family to Wellman Industries and to Johnsonville. Our community may be "small," but it has "big" people with warm smiles and helping hands. For your warm response to us, my family and I are grateful. ... , ❖! '•'• :~ ::::,•.•. I~ :11~ :=:~ ;:::: :ii II I ~:~==·: I I. I I ...• .... .•.. :-:•... ..•. .... .. From the beginning, Hanna Chapel has been a community church. Its members have come mostly from the Vox section. Now led by the Rev. Ossie Gause, the church was started in 1939 on the same site it now occupies about si x m il es west of Johnsonville. Rev . Gause, who works - wi--th S-a-ntee- Electri·c Cooperative, at Kingstree, and others in the church are currently working to attract new members. Hanna Chapel is in the Pentacostal Holiness Church Conference of South Carolina. Its Sunday School Superintendent is Arthur "Pet e" M arlowe, Jr., of Well m an Industries. Mr. Marlowe is also on the Board of Deacons with Richard Atkinson and W. -Oot Altman. They, and other Hannah Chapel leaders, are looking forward to redoing the inside of the church. The ' attractice sanctuary recently was renovated on the outside and inclosed with brick. "We're old fashioned when it comes to supporting the church. We try not to go into debt. Hanna Chapel raised much of its money with barbecues and other projects," Mr. Marlowe pointed out. "Some of the best cooks in these parts attend Hanna Chapel. Homemade cakes, chicken bogs and barbecue cooked up by them are great for fund-raising days," Mr. Mar Iowe reasoned. The Rev . Gause, in his first year as pastor at f..lann-a , Chapel, and members of the church expect to hire very little of the work done when the interior of the church is renovated. "We'll hire -what we can't do ourselves but the members will do as much of the work as possible," The Rev. Gause said. Rev. Gause Athletes To Have Big Night Th~ Johnsonville Booster Club will award trophies to outstanding athletes on this year's teams during a banquet in the school cafeteria on May 9th. Guest Speaker for the seventh annual Awards Banquet will be Paul Deitzel, head football coach and athletic director at the University of South Carolina.

Many End Course For Supervisors Personality Of The Month Pete Marlowe Always Takes Time For Bible Arthur "Pete" Marlowe is a pretty serious sort of a man when it comes to his family, his work and regularly reading the Bible. A Mechanic in Fibers, he has been a valued member of the Wellman family for 18 years. He worked in Scouring, the Boiler Room and in Sheetmetal before joining Fibers. He's Sunday School Superintendant and a deacon at Hannah's Chapel in the Vox Community where he lives with his wife Letha Mae. They have four children, Mrs. Donald Roy Atkinson, a nurse in Florence; Roger Dale, who works at Stavley Loans, Hemingway; Randy, a senior at Johnsonville High ; and Selwyn, a seventh grader at Johnsonville Middle School. "In my spare time, I like to hunt and fish a little. I really like going out to the Lynches and Pee Dee rivers when the fish are biting," Mr. Marlowe smiled . "I remember a big Red Breast I caught. I-wish I had it mounted instead of eating it. One thing is for sure, I' m going to try and catch me another whopper like that one. I'm also gonna keep hunting for deer until I shoot me a good one," he said. "I always take time to read the book of books -- the Bible. I believe the answers to all things are in the Bible. The world would be so much better if people lived by the Bible," Mr . Marlowe suggested. "A good time to read the Bible is just before breakfast at the beginning of the day. It can keep a man going and a family together," he said. Mr. Marlowe sees nothing wrong with most mem bers of the younger generation. He said most young people " are pretty good. They are better when the older people provide them with good examples on how to live and act," he concluded. Pete Marlowe Johnathan Hanna And An Easter Friend For Andy's Kid Wellman Double Knits Double Fashion Treat Double knits from Wellman are finding their way into some of the finest fashions in the country. They're also winding up in some pretty fancy outfits made by home seamstresses. Wellman double knits are second to none and good quality will keep them competitive in the market place. Young Johnathan Hanna, the 11-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andy Hanna, is probably the bestdiapered baby in these parts. The photo above shows Johnathan all decked out in a fancy diaper made from Wellman fabrics. Samples of other Wellman double knits are seen in the background. Father Andy is an extruder operator in Fiber Spinning.

"We're going to do just fine for the people in Fiber Spinning are dedicated to giving the industry top quality at highly-Competitive prices. We're shooting for the best product possible. Our goal is to give the customer exactly what he wants," Mr. Ard emphasized. Wellman has been in man-made fibers for a relative short time but the company's Wellene polyester and Wei Ion nylon have gained a respected place in the market place. From a standing start in 1964, Wellman has grown into an increasingly important name in the world of man-made fibers. Fiber Spinning is one of the important stops along the unique production line that produces Wellene and Wellon. Charles Bell, Earl Capps, Jimmy Williams and James Owens "We're part of the team and we will do our best to kt:ep the team a winning one," Mr. Ard stressed. Fiber Spinning is located in one of the newer parts of the more than million square feet of floor space making up the Wellman ' Industries complex at Johnsonville. The raw material is fed from Fiber Preparation into the extrusion process where it becomes a molten polymer. This molten polymer is pumped through the spinning system and finally through the spinnerettes. From the very small orifices in the spinnerettes, individual fibers filamer.1ts are formed, quenched with conditioned air and passed down the quench stack to the take up machines on the first floor of the spin tower. The two package on the take up machine is then forwarded to the Fiber Finishing Department tor conversion into its final form ready for shipment to our customers. James E. Davis and Frank Rhames �David Camerson, Jeffry McFadden and Jimmy W. Marsh Curtis Scott and James Carnell For Quality ~ram start to finish, Fiber Spinning keys on quality control. The standards are high and the department is constantly shooting to surpass them . Four shifts are required to keep Fiber Spinning operating around the clock. Shift supervisors include Tommy Franks and Randy Tanner (A); Muldrow Coker and Billy Baxley ( B); John W. Evans and George Frazier (C); and Stanley Hanna and Jimmy Morris (D) . Many of the folks in Fiber Spinning have been members of the Wellman family for a long time. They include lead mechanic Harry Tanner, Langston Goss, Leon Prosser, Lamar Crib, Malachia Verner, Jr., Leroy Capps, Jimmy Williams, Alvin White, James W. Carnell, Olin Richardson, William Johnson, Frank Taylor and Jessie W. Carnell. "We have good people in Fiber Spinning . We're going to do our best to make Wellman ll)an-made fibers the very best the industry has of offer," Mr. Ard concluded.

Stone Marvin Brown Lonnie Porchea Sam Hayward Sammie Walker Ha"rry Tanner Nellie Miller Hazel Burns Clydia Holt You Said It Big Snow Storm Kept Folks At Home It will be a long time before folks in these parts foraet the big snow that fell in on the Pee Dee in early 1972. It was the kina of slorm grancfparenfs tell their grandchildren about. A lot of Wellman folks have it tucked away in their bciol< of memortes. Here's how some c,r-fffe"m got through the storm : Deloris Tanner, production control, and her twoyear-old son Michael, moved across the snow atop a s!ed made by father Benjie. For Lonnie Porchea, bonded fibers, it was a time for helping pull stranded motorists back on to the road with a tractor. He and William Johnson, Tower, got 20 carloads of people out of the 18-inch deep snowfall. D.W. Stone, Jr., Knitting Finishing, managed to get to work in spite of the snow. He got help from a friend Hubert Abrams who learned how to navigate deep snow in Ohio. Marvin W. Brown, Fiber Finishing, said he spent "most of the time digging out." He put his car out by the road when the snow started getting deep and dug a path to it. He saia he go a asfe ofsnow while serving in the Army whi le stationed in Eu r ope . He and his boy made snow cream . Harry Tanner, Fiber Maintenance, said his family couldn't do much .. "just sit around the house." He said he and his little boy Craig didn't like being kept from getting out from their home in the Muddy Creek section. Hazel Burns, By Sorting, said she and her husband Delmus "had a few snow fights because there was nothing else to do." Clydia Holt, French Combing, reported she stayed at home with her three sons and that the four of them "had a ball sled-riding." She noted the snow was "the worst I've ever seen." Samuel Walker , Wool Shipping, managed to get to work all but one day during the storm . The power was out for three days in his neighborhood. " We had to borrow water from a ne ighbor because the pump wasn't working and had to use kerosene lamps and candles," he recalled . Sam Hayward, Tow, got trapped at his home over in Georgetown County . His kids, Dan, 3, and Thurmond, 2, made snow men . Nellie M. Miller, Two, spent the time entertaining her grandchildren. Remember these scenes in July when the weather will be scorching! Ray Stone Johnsonville Fireman Of The Year Ray Stone is Johnsonville's "Fireman Of The Year." Mr. Stone, an electrician at Wellman, was picked for the honor for his service as a volunteer with the excel lent fire fighting organization. Mr. Stone and his wife Beth have a small son. She is a teacher at Batter Park School. The Johnsonville Fire Department has come a long ways since the days its equipment was parked under a big oak tree, thanks to volunteers like Ray Stone. Still a volunteer operation, the department has blossomed into one of the finest fire fighting teams in South Carolina . The department is now housed in modern facill°ties the firemen built themselves with financial assist from the community . Chief Irby Stone proudly boasts about the depart. ment's four fully-equipped fire trucks including a shiny new fire engine.

The department's value and close association with other fire departments in the areas was proven during the recent fire at Wellman Industries. Wellman officials have highly praised the firemen for bringing the fire under control. Special training programs are used to keep the firemen informed of the latest in fire-fighting equipment and practices. In addition to Chief Stone, Department officers include Assistunt Chief Fred Weaver, Captains Harvey Stone and Murdock .

His overall record is 73 wins and 21 losses. "This year's team was one of the very best. This was fine bunch of youngmen. They worked hard and they played the game well," Coach Lawrimore emphasized . Highlights of the season included the Lower 7AA Conference championship and the Lower State title.
