Mr. Farrell said that the Laurelcrest Carpet Plant has been notified that it will receive no natural gas this winter for processing (Laurel Hill is supplied by a different delivery company from those serving other locations). Curtailment of operations or the necessity of special arrangements is a definite possibility there. “Even without the curtailment at Laurel Hill last year, our usage of natural gas would have been less than normal due to the reasonably mild winter and the general downturn in business,” Mr. Farrell said. “We still need to conserve energy in all forms. Whatever energy is available this winter, it will continue to increase in price. Energy just isn’t going to get any cheaper.” Dividend Voted Directors of Fieldcrest Mills, Inc. voted on September 4 to pay a quarterly dividend of $.25 per share on September 30 to holders of record September 16.

Mr. Williams, a Kinston native who is employed in the corporate Engineering Department at Eden, joined the company in 1932 just after his graduation from North Carolina State University (then North Carolina State College) with a B.S. degree in chemical engineering. He was given his first job by J. M. Norman, long-time manager of the Karastan Rug Mill who is now retired. Mr. Williams operated the filter plant at the Bedspread and Karastan Mills on the night shift. He recalls that there were only two shifts and he worked 12 hours a night. The daytime operator was the late Waymon Smith.
