campaign to raise $56,006 to meet the
1961 budgetary needs of the 10 health,

ticipating in the Tri-City Community
Fund.
Fieldcrest employees, along with
members of all other firms in the Tri-
Cities, will be asked to pledge a mini
mum of a day’s pay. For the conveni
ence of employees and upon their au
thorization, Fieldcrest will make pay
roll deductions over a 12-month period
to collect the pledges.
Payroll deductions authorized by em
