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.

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.

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.
