Do Your Part: Give A Day^s Pay During this week, each employee in the plants and offices in the Tri-Cities will be given an opportunity to pledge a contribution in the Community Fund campaign which has as its goal $65,353 to be used for the support of 10 essential health, recreation and welfare agencies serving local people. Through the Community Fund each of us can have a part in taking care of the Tri-Cities’ human needs and obligations. Yaur contribution enables you to be a good neighbor by lending a helping hand to the young, the aged, the handicapped and the troubled. While the in dividual gift seems small, the combined gifts of all Fieldcresters and others in the Tri-Cities provide for services which make a better com munity for all of us. The Community Fund campaign, combining the needs of 10 organi zations in one drive, offers a bargain to each of us. With a single con tribution 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. For many of us, it will be just a matter of signing a new pledge card and extending the present payroll deductions on a continuing basis For 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. The Tri-City employees of Fieldcrest will have done their part if each of us pledges a day’s pay in the campaign. Large numbers of em ployees have done so in past years. 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 knowing you have fulfilled your own obligation in this cause. Half The People . . . Of all the people employed in manufacturing in North Carolina over one-half are employed in textiles. ’ Obviously, that’s more than all other industries combined. To be exact, textiles (with its related apparel manufacturing) provides iobs for 259,408 people out of total work force of 507,332 in all manufact uring in North Carolina. In addition to this, of course, there is the employment of the people who furnish chemicals, agricultural products, machinery, building materials, fuel and power, transportation, and other go'ods and services to the textile industry. All of this illustrates the importance of textiles to the State of North Carolina and to the communities where textile payrolls are the back bone of the local economy. It’s Lt. Colonel Now Lt.
