TWO OF 8188 Manufacturing Company’s Porterdale Plants worked more than 1.5 million manhours
during 1967 without suffering a lost time accident. They were Porterdale Mill, 1,487,196 manhours,
and Welaunee Mill, 155,019 manhours. Above, left to right, Herman Goddard, John Riley Thompson
and J. B. Doster are shown with Safety Plaques presented by Georgia Textile Manufacturers Associ
ation, Atlanta, to the two plants. The Porterdale plants were two of five Bibb plants which won state
wide recognition for safety during the past year. The plants worked a total of 2,225,215 manhours
without a lost time accident. M. B. Shaw, Superintendent of Bibb’s Porterdale Division, congratulated
the local employees for their record and said, "It is impossible to put a monetary value on the suffer
ing which has been prevented by good safety practices.”

big day at Oxford College. 760

held in the college cafeteria at

While Prof. Dickey was teach

yearbook was dedicated to him,
in 1954. The following state
ment about him is from that
dedication: "A Christian gentle
man and scholar peculiarly en
dowed with those qualities which
make a man truly great: wit
tiness, genuine understanding of
all students, humility of spirit,
loftiness of purpose, and gen
uine and unswerving devotion to
the cause to which his life has
been dedicated”.
Music for the banquet is be
ing arranged by Tom Murphy,
entertainment chairman for the
Oxford College Coffee House.
The big day begins at 2:00
o’clock, when Oxford College ten
nis team engages the team from
Gordon College, Barnesville. Re
