the mill in the presence of
Duval Jackson, I.H. Fetty, H.
Lee Carlton, Superintendent
J.H. Pollitt and others of the
company’s staff and a large
gathering of town people.
The schedule for the mill
whistle, a novelty still in the
community, is as follows: 5am
– one long blast. 6:15am –
two short blasts. 6:30am – one
long blast, mill starts. 12pm
– one long blast, mill stops.
12:45pm – one long blast,
mill starts. 4:45pm – one long
blast, mill stops. The prima-
ry purpose of the whistle of
course is to regulate the hours
of work at the plant, but it also
serves to set the time for the
town and country about it.
A new era in the commu-
nity as regards fuel prices has
been brought by the opening
of the mill. It sells 16” slab
wood for $2.50 a cord, at the
mill, or about half the price
that has prevailed in the past.
