The Fieldale Towel Mill Baseball Team Fieldcrest Aids Children Through SCF Organization For the past 16 years Fieldcrest has undertaken, in conjunction with the Save the Children Foundation, the sponsorship of six needy children living both here and abroad. For its 1976 participation, Fieldcrest’s revised sponsorship will include two additional American Indian children. Both of the children live on Indian reservations in the Southwest. Vance Lomahoema is a 10-year-old boy from the Hopi tribe of Arizona. He is in the fifth grade, enjoys school, and reads and writes English as well as the native Hopi language. His hobbies are track and reading. Stephanie Yepa, the second child, is also 10 years old. A member of the Jemez tribe of New Mexico, she attends the San Diego Mission School as a member of the fifth grade and likes school very much. The other children that Fieldcrest sponsors are: Theoni Tzanetatos, Greece; Francesco Esse, Italy; Mary Bonefas, Tanzania; Jose Esubio Cata Bird, American Indian.

Contacts are maintained with the child through the regional offices of SCF, and the sponsor is kept informed of the child’s progress. Letters from the chil dren themselves often give fascinating insights into other cultures and modes of life. SCF’s American Indian program is the largest of its divisions, accounting for almost half the 30,000 children sponsored annually. It was instituted in 1949 following a devastating blizzard in the Southwest. In America, SCF also maintains offices for aid to Appalachia and the rural South, the Chicano population, and the inner cities. Overseas, programs include Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. Most of the monies collected go to help with the child’s educational expenses — books, school supplies, tutoring costs. Priorities for use of the money are determined according to the wishes of child and parent, in cooperation with the SCF advisor.
