‘One Gift Works Many Wonders’ Fieldcresters this week will be given an oppartunity to share in the Tri-City Community Fund campaign as solicitations are conducted in the mills to help raise the budget-goal of $60,813 to support the oper ations of 10 health, welfare, and recreational services during 1963. This annual appeal, combining the needs of 10 organizations in one campaign, offers a bargain to each of us. With a single contribution we can help all of the agencies, thus eliminating the need for a succession of individual fund drives, such as we formerly had in the Tri-Cities. Our gift may be in the form of a pledge which can be paid in small amounts through payroll deductions over a period of 12 months. No deductions v^ill start before the first of the year. If an employee has no work during a particular week, he will not be required to make up the missed deduction. For many of us, it will be just a matter of signing a new pledge card present deductions continue for another year. For others — those who did not make a pledge last year — it will be a matter of signing up for a small payroll deduction amounting to about the price of a pack of cigarettes a week. While the individual gift seems small, the combined gifts of all fieldcresters and others in the Tri-Cities provide for services which 1 • needs and which make the Tri-Cities a better place in which to live. We all know of people in desperate circumstances who have been helped by the Salvation Army, Red Cross or other agencies. All of us benefit from the YMCAs, Boys Club and the Boy and Girl Scouts. We hope we will never need the services of the Rescue Squad but we know that some of us will. No one would begrudge a contribution ta assist retarded children, particularly when they are children of our own community and perhaps are even on our street. Aside from the worthiness of the agencies in the Carolinas United package, the contribution we make to Carolinas United prevents a large number of drives which would otherwise be conducted bv the individual organizations included in the package. During this week, each of us will have an opportunity to share in ^king care of the Tri-Cities’ human needs and obligations. The Tri- ity employees of Fieldcrest Mills will have done their part if each ot us pledges a day s pay in the campaign. Large numbers of em- P^?^sed a day’s pay to be paid in small installments through payroll deductions. How about you? If you have not been giving as much as a day’s pay, increase your pledge to that amount and have the satisfaction of know ing you have fulfilled your own obligation in this cause.

The “Weavers oi the Week” are those with the lowest percentage of seconds with respect to the standards for the various loom groups.

I will be 62 this month and I under stand^ that I can retire and get social security, but that my monthly bene fit will be less than I would get if I were 65. Can you tell me how much of a reduction I will have to take if I decide to draw my social security benefits now? A. Your monthly social security bene fit will be reduced by 20 per cent if you apply as soon as you reach 62. For example, if your earnings under social security would qualify you for a benefit of $100 at age 65, you would be able to collect $80 a month at age 62. That $80 a month would con tinue to be payable to you even after you did reach 65. It would generally not go up—unless you returned to work and had earnings high enough to require the withholding of your benefits for some months. Q. If I take my benefit at 63, can my wife draw if she is 62? A. Yes. Her benefit will be about 25% less than the payment she would otherwise have been able to collect at age 65. Q. Do you advise people to take their social security payments before 65? A. Each person must decide for him self. If a man is in good health and working full time, and wants to con tinue to work, he may not want to file. Another man’s circumstances may be different. He may be unem ployed or in ill health; perhaps he would want to file. The thing to do is check with your social security rep resentative to find out what the pos sible advantages are in your particu lar case. THE MILL WHISTLE
