Most of the Foundation con tributions are being made in the communities where they will be of direct benefit to employees and their families. The Foundation since its beginning has given 83 Field crest Scholarships each currently worth $4,000 over the four years of college. At present 36 sons and daughters of em ployees are enrolled in college with Fieldcrest Scholarships. For the 1973-74 school year, the Foundation gave 51 new grants- in-aid to make a total of 81 grants that have been given since that new program was started in April, 1972. The grants are worth upward to $1,000 a year. The grants-in-aid are distinct from the Fieldcrest Scholarships in that the grants are primarily for aiding employees’ children in line with their financial need. The Fieldcrest Scholarships are based on academic achievement as well as need. The grant-in-aid program recognizes that many in dividuals may more profitably attend technical institutes or take trade courses than attend a four-year college. It is designed 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.) Work Safely Your F'ellow Employees Depend On You MONDAY, AUGUST27, 1973 Pearlman Named Assistant Counsel Michael A.
