Each long-service employee
has received the appropriate
Fieldcrest service pin, a gift
certificate for company mer
chandise equal in dollar
amounts to the years of service,
and a letter of commendation
from William C. Battle,
president of Fieldcrest Mills,
Inc.
Mrs. Gilley, a draw-in hand at

tinuous service on January 7,
1932, and has worked at the
Sheeting Mill for all of her 45
years with the company. Her
various job classifications in
clude inspector, battery filler,
pickout hand and smash
pickout hand. She
draw-in hand in 1954.
Mr. Sullivan, a fixer in the
Spinning Department at the

tinuous service on January 11,
1937. During his 40 years at the
Bedspread Mill, he has worked
as a card hand, doffer, drawing
hand, cloth hand, section hand,

And Maybe Win $5, Too
Your Ingenuity To Conseive Energy
Yankee ingenuity prevails
even in the South these days as
Americans everywhere use
creative and unusual ways to
save energy and combat rising
fuel costs.
The American Textile
Manufactures Institute, now
offering $5 for each energy
saving idea accepted for
publication in a new consumer
handbook, reports that many
ways, of saving energy with
textiles are already being im
plemented by their originators.
Many contestants are simply
sharing their genius with the
textile industry and neighbors in
the hopes of adding another $5 to
savings they are already en
joying.
Larry E. Pearce of Boswell,
Pa., suggest that parents use
“costumes” to encourage
youngsters to wear needed extra
clothes in homes where ther
mostats have been lowered to 68
degrees.
Pearce says it’s not unusual to
find a clown, a doctor, a ghost
and perhaps a cowboy or two
watching TV in his family room.
Sounds like a fun house.
The Pearce family also uses
knitted pot holders to keep food
hot through the meal. Dishes are
washed by hand instead of in an
automatic dishwasher.
Each member of the family
has his own private towel. An
extra $5 to $10 a year is saved
with special cloth insulation for
the hot water heater.
A Greenville, S.C., woman
offered a simple idea for keeping
warm while watching TV in a
cold house. “Just turn down the
therostat and cuddle up with
your favorite fellow in a big,
fluffy, warm blanket” she wrote.
A Winston-Salem purist
suggested that Americans give
up central heating altogether.
“If the Eskimos and the Chinese
can do it, we can, too,” he said.
His suggestion was for insulated
clothing, perhaps hooded

coveralls or padded camping
suits.
Less extreme measures
suggested have been for heavier,
lined drapes and such things as a
curtain at the top of the stairway
in split-level homes to prevent
heat from escaping from the
living area to cooler sleeping
quarters.
Frequent suggestions have
been variations of a sand or rag-
filled cloth sausage to be placed
under the door. Attractively
made, the cloth sausage is
designed to hang over the door
knob when not is use during the
day.
The most unusual entry so far
in the contest was one which did
not use a textile product
directly. J. Fuquay of
Burlington, N.C., suggests that
to keep warm on cold winter
mornings, try putting a freshly
hard-boiled egg in your pocket
before going out. The egg will
stay warm until you get to work
and you can eat the egg for
lunch.
Fuquay also suggests sleeping
in your socks and wearing a
toboggan cap in the house to
offset lower thermostat settings.
