Presenting on the plaque was John Meadors, a supervisor in the Channel Blanket Department at the Blanket Finishing Mill. Mr. Dunkley, a bedspread batcher, might have suffered an extremely serious foot injury when he caught his foot between an elevator and a wall. The entire metal cap of his safety shoe was ripped off, but there was no serious injury. The acci dent occurred on October 17, 1975. A group of seniors and graduate students from the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis at Cornell University were recent visitors at the Karastan Rug Mill. The students spent much of their time in the showroom and Designing Department where they asked questions and took notes which will be used as a basis for classroom discussion. Then they were given a guided tour of the manufacturing area. The visit to Karastan was a field trip during a semester break for a class dealing with various aspects of the textile and apparel industries.

He was elected at the organization’s recent convention in Mequon, Wis. A native of Eden, Mr. Hudgins was a sales service cor respondent at the Karastan Service Center before joining the Karastan sales organization as office manager of the Chicago office in 1972. He became a sales representative in January, 1975. He is married to the former Jan Roland of Eden and they have one daughter. The Hudginses live in Port Washing ton, Wis. ^DaY, FEBRUARY 23, 1976 (Continued from Page Three) many respects, but perhaps the most outstanding feature of the plan is that it was developed and improved specifically for the company’s employees and designed to fit their needs. The benefits are arranged to “do the most good for the most people,” to give the greatest protection possible to employees and their families. The plan is administered by Fieldcrest’s own insurance specialists and all claims are paid from the General Offices at Eden. There are two reasons for this: (1) the self-administering helps to keep the cost down, and (2) it greatly facilitates the handling of claims. A large percentage of the claims are paid “on the spot,” the employee receiving his insurance check when he brings the claim form to the Insurance Department. Claims from outlying locations also are handled quickly and efficiently by the Insurance Department at the General Offices. Compare, But Carefully! If you compare your Fieldcrest insurance with other plans, keep in mind the complete “package.” For example, don’t compare it with a type of insurance providing hospital insurance only. And don’t be misled when someone tells you that some other textile company pays a larger share of the premiums than Fieldcrest pays. Some companies pay all of the cost of insurance for the working em ployee but pay nothing for dependents. The Fieldcrest insurance covers both employees and dependents. Experience has shown that more benefits are paid for dependents than for the employee himself. Therefore, family coverage such as you have at Fieldcrest is considerably more expensive than insurance for the employee alone. Another comment you may hear is that the insurance “doesn’t pay enoi^h of the bill” that too much is left over for the employees to pay. Very few plans pay 100 percent of the hospital and surgical charges. In order to do so, the plans would have to be enormously expensive and therefore result in considerable extra cost for the employee. If you have questions about your benefits, contact your area personnel manager or the Insur ance Department at the General Offices. Don’t be caught short, know about your benefits before you need to use them!
