Fieldcrest Employees Retire Ou January 1
Effective with this issue The Mill
thistle will resume publishing pictures
°f employees who retire under the
Pension Plan. The first to appear are
those who retired January 1, 1973. It
'''111 not be feasible to go back and
niake good on any retirements prior
to that date.
The Mill Whistle earlier carried pic
tures of retiring employees when nor-
*Uul retirement came on December 1
®f each year. Publication of the pic
tures was then discontinued because it
"'as impractical to obtain information
®ud pictures of persons who took early
Retirement at odd times during the
year.
Two developments have made it pos-
®'ble to resume publishing retirement
Pictures: (1) under the present pro
cedure whereby employees retire the
irst of the month on or following their
ath birthday, information regarding
Retirements is readily available; and
most employees now have a recent
Picture in the files because of the em
ployment identification system, there-
URe photographs of retirees are already
cp hand.
Hereafter, The Mill Whistle will car-
^ the employee’s identification picture
