The Best Is Needed Just about everybody agrees by now that during- 1960 the entire U. S. economy slipped downward. The textile industry generally de clined along with it. Here at Fieldcrest for the first time in several years overtime work was reduced and there was curtailment in some of the plants, affecting a considerable number of people. Business leaders think it is likely that the current slow conditions will continue for some months, but expect a turn for the better some time in 1961. However, as we move into 1961 it is well for us to resolve certain things that can help our Company operate successfully in good times and bad. - - - Keep quality at the highest. - - - Keep waste at a minimum. - - - Take the best possible care of machinery and equipment. - - - Give the customer what he wants when he wants it. - - - Be alert always to avoid accidents at home and on the job. Cooperate with others and comsult supervisors freely. ^Made In America^ The importance of high quality raw material is a vital factor in the production of first-rate goods. Raw material is not the only factor, however, which has resulted in American textile products standing as the best in the world. Other factors are of at least equal importance. The quality of production personnel has a lot to do with the worth of a finished product. American textile workers — through their basic intelligence, their ability to operate machinery at a high level of efficiency, and their concern for the products of their individual companies — have displayed time after time their contribution to the progress of the American textile industry. Strict control of waste and a continuing concern for safety have also made the American textile industry the greatest in the world. No other textile industry in the world can match American textiles on production techniques and efficiency. So, while it is true that good raw material is basic to a good product, it is not the whole story. It is simply a part of a whole series of events which make “Made In America” a mark of distinction. Know More About Your Credit Union A. The credit union may or may not permit such withdrawls, depending upon the circumstances. Many credit union members continue to save while their loan is being repaid. Q. When a member needs money, why doesn’t he just withdraw his savings rather than get a loan from the credit union? A. He would have a perfect right to do so. The most successful savers though, are the ones who never in terrupt their savings. If they need extra cash, they borrow from the credit union. The dividends on their savings offset a part of the interest on the loan. When the loan has been repaid, their savings have grown and they are that much ahead. Q. How do you start saving: through the credit union? A. An employee becomes a member by paying a 25c fee and by signing a card authorizing the Company to de duct a specified amount of savings from each pay check. Savings of as little as 25c a week are accepted. Questions And Answers On How To Save Money Q. Is a credit union mostly for saving, or for lending? A. It is for both. Credit unions pro vide a convenient means by which people pool their savings and assist themselves in meeting the need for credit at a reasonably low cost. Q. Do you have to save every pay day to remain a member? A. No. You remain a member as long as you own one $5.00 share. How ever the credit union encourages its members to get the saving habit by having a small amount deducted from each pay check. Q. Do you have to have savings in the credit union in order to get a loan? A. A loan will be considered if the member has at least $5.00 in the Credit Union. However, it is expected that when a member joins, he intends to save as well as borrow. Q. May savings be withdrawn while a loan is outstanding?
