Day for employees of TexElastic of Archdale,
A-M Texturing and Adams-Millis Hosiery in
High Point. The American Red Cross Blood-
mobile will be at the English Road plants from
10:00 a. m. to 3:30 p.m.
Adams-Millis employees have been asked
to donate 150 pints of blood during the October 10
visit. This will require nine donors each 15-
minute period.
Personnel of the High Point plants will be
contacted prior to the visit to fill out their
registration cards and to designate the hour
they want to donate. This scheduling is neces
sary to avoid having too many donors at one
time.
The visit will not be restricted to personnel
of the three plants. If some other member
of your family, or a friend, wishes to come on
that date, he will be most welcome.
Those volunteering as blood donors during
the months of July and August included Neal
Pierce, Gweneth Frady and Clifford Chappell
of the Hosiery Division, High Point.
