EDWARD E. BURROUGHS iiianis: .. , m Anni Ratia, Marimekko’s founder and director Armi Ratia Designs Fieldcrest Fall Collection “Pm not just selling home furnish ings fabrics . . . I’m, selling a way of life. If you think Marimekko is fash ion, you’re lost. Marimekko is freedom from fashion.” The speaker is Marimekko’s founder and director, Armi Ratia: intellectual, ex-writer, ex-textile arti.st and, cur rently, fashion freedom fighter. Marivillage, Finland, is where her staff of designers create the patterns. In the spirit of Marimekko design, Mar ivillage blends in with the topography of the land, takes advantage of nature's colors and formations. The Fieldcrest Marimekko Collection is a mood, an experience, a pleasure— the effortless art of the no-fashion fash ion in living. Like Marimekko’s “Morn ing” idea, a spectacular impression of the flowers of Finland . . . like “Flower”, a melange of bold, gigantic blooms . . . like “Brook”, inspired by the winding waterways that flow through the Fin nish countryside. See Armi Ratia’s designs for Field crest and other collections for fall ’72 shown on pages four and five. Mother Of Seven Earns High School Diploma SIMS LAWSON 'Monday, august 28, 1972 A Fieldcrest employee and the moth er of seven children was awarded her high school diploma on Sunday, Au gust 13, in ceremonies at Rockingham Community College. She is Irene H. Pendleton, an order filler at the Karastan Service Center. She began working toward her diploma less than a year ago. Since she left school at the eighth grade level, she had four grades to complete. Mrs. Pendleton attended classes in the morning, worked second shift at the Karastan Service Center, taught a class in crocheting at Rockingham Com munity College and worked in tobacco three times each week. Discussing how she managed to do so much in so short a time, Mrs. Pen dleton said she could not have dene it all without the help and encourage ment of her husband and children. “They did most of the work at home so I could attend classes, and some times I was tired and felt like quitting, but they wouldn’t let me,” she said. Her favorite subject was science. Her next project, she said, will be courses in upholstery and interior decorating and she may even take some courses for college credit. Mrs. Pendleton feels that the great est benefit of completing her high school education has been her own self satisfaction. “Education helps every body,” she said. The Pendleton children range in age from 21 years old to 11 years old. Three have already graduated from high school. Mrs. Pendleton’s husband, Henry, is employed at the Blanket Greige Mill.
