*1 BRUCE ROBERTSON LINCOLN ROBERTSON Brothers Honored For 40-Yr. Records Bruce and Lincoln Robertson, well- known brothers at the Sheeting Mill, completed 40-year records of continuous service on the same day. They have worked near each other for the entire 40 years and for the past 23 years have worked together as warp hangers in the Sheeting Mill Weave Room. The brothers were honored in inform al ceremonies at the mill on their anni versary date. Each was presented the Fieldcrest 40-year service emblem and a letter of commendation from Presi dent Harold W. Whitcomb. Both of the Mr. Robertsons were born in Stokes County and were employed on Work And Health the same day, Feb. 16, 1926, at the old Nantucket Mill at Spray. Bruce started as a tie-in helper and Lincoln began as a trimmer in the Cloth Room. Bruce continued as a tie-in helper when the sheeting operations were con solidated at Draper in 1937. He became a warp hanger in 1942 and continues to work in that classification. Lincoln, who was working in the Slashing Department when the opera tions were consolidated in 1937, con tinued to work as a slasher operator at Draper rmtil 1943. Since 1943, the two brothers have worked together as warp hangers on the first shift. Older Workers And Heart Disease By DR. A. D, GULLETT Medical Director, Fieldcrest Mills The older worker, usually classified as 45 years of age or over, presently makes up about one-third of the labor force. The U. S. Department of Labor predicts that by 1970 there will be 33.5 million workers over 45 years old. Many of these have valuable skills and mature judgment from years of ex perience; as such, they represent a val uable resource that must be conserved. It is known that the concerns of this group are primarily job security, health maintenance, and economic security af ter retirement. Unfortunately, the chronic or degen erative diseases begin to increase in in cidence and prevalance during these years. All too frequently these diseases defeat the best plans for job security and security after retirement. Heart disease, for example, is one of the degenerative or chronic diseases. The term “heart disesise” actually ap plies to a number of different illnesses that affect the circulatory system—the heart and blood vessels. The more exact term is cardiovascular diseases—cardio (heart) and vascular (blood vessel). The circulatory system is a compli cated mechanism, and the heart itself is the strongest, toughest muscle in the body. Yet, in people over 45 years of age it frequently breaks down. When any part of the circulatory sys tem is impaired, a part of the body does not receive the blood supply it needs and thus is damaged. The damage may occur in the heart itself, in the brain, lungs, kidneys, skin or the limbs. These diseases are by no means al ways fatal, but they cause more than half of all deaths in the U. S. every year! So many are affected by just one of these diseases, arterial atherosclero sis, that it has been called “the epidemic of the 20th Century.” Great improvements have been made in the treatment and control of some of these diseases. Because of research, medical advances, and application of methods of prevention, thousands are living today who 10 or 20 years ago would not have survived their illnesses.
