The 10 percent energy reduction goal set by Fieldcrest’s Energy Conservation Committee was met, on the basis of man-hours worked, and in some areas surpassed during the month of December, according to J. G. Farrell, energy conservation coordinator. Mr. Farrell attributed this success to outstanding cooperation from employees at all locations, and also to cooperation from the weather which, happily, has remained unseasonably warm. The overall electric load was permanently cut by 400 kilowatts and another 400 kilowatts was saved by reduced lighting, he said. ‘If our employees continue to cooperate as they have so far and the weather does not turn abnormally cold, we should be in a good position,” Mr. Farrell said. He emphasized the fact that each individual employee plays a very important part in energy conservation. “Each individual who actively participates in the energy conservation program at work should remember that he or she could also be helping to save a job,” Mr. Farrell said. Some ways in which individuals can help conserve ' Mr Guinan addresses group of editors from leading consumer magazines and trade publications. energy at work were suggested by Mr. Farrell. They are: keep all doors and windows shut during winter to avoid wasting heat; turn off individual machines and lights during lunch, breaks, and at the end of the work day; report wasted energy such as unattended machines, water, steam and heat leaks to foreman or super visor; and don’t waste materials, or time, or energy — eventually extra energy will be needed to make up for the loss. 3 MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1974 I
