Foundation Gives 52 New
Educational Grants-ln-Aid
SUMMER MAGIC — Little Laura Marie Fain, age two,
ponders the mysteries of nature as she prepares to blow
a dandelion puff into the air. Laura is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jeff Fain. Her mother, Linda, is employed at
the Sheet Finishing Mill.
The Fieldcrest Foundation has
awarded an additional 52 grants-
in-aid to assist children of
Fieldcrest employees who wish
to attend technical schools, do
college work or participate in
other forms of education beyond
high school.
The newest grants, together
with the 30 renewals of grants
awarded previously, make a
total of 82 grants-in-aid that have
been given to date for the benefit
of employees’ children.
The individual grants range
upward to $1,000 a year and may
be given at any stage of a
student’s educational career
beyond high school.
The educational grants
program, started in April, 1972,
recognizes that many in
dividuals may more profitably
attend technical institutes or
take trade courses rather than
attend a four-year college or
university.
Therefore, it is designed
primarily to aid employees’
children who wish to attend
technical schools or take
technical courses such as
mechanics, secretarial work or
paramedical courses (nursing,
medical technicians, etc.)
However, (hose attending
four-year colleges or univer
sities, or continuing their
education beyond the under
graduate degree may also
receive grants.
The grants-in-aid are distinct
from the Fieldcrest Scholar
ships, also given by the Foun
dation, in that the grants are
primarily for aiding employees’
children in line with their
financial need. Fieldcrest
Scholarships are based on
academic achievement as well
as need.
The names, together with brief
information about the latest
recipients of educational grants-
in-aid, are printed below:

Karastan’s new carpet and
rug fashions for the fall were
introduced by Robert V. Dale,
Vice-President of Styling and
Design. As presented by Dr.
Dale, the division is offering new
broadloom lines and two new
area rug styles. The rug designs,
he noted, were purposely
developed to take advantage of
the renewed interest in
“Americana” themes due to the
nation’s upcoming Bicentenial
celebration in 1976.
Mr. Deery cited the increased
importance of multi-color
patterns in carpets and rugs as
exemplified by a number of the
