Retiree Receives Honors
For Hours As Voiunteer
Spending more than 1,000 hours in a
hospital may not be a pleasant task
for many people, but a former
Fieldcrest employee has done just
that and finds the experience
interesting as weD as rewarding.
Ethel Adkins, retiree of the Draper
Sheeting Mill, recently was honored
as the sole 1977 recipient of a 1,000-
hour pin for completing 1,245 hours of
volunteer service at the Morehead
Memorial Hospital.
At her retirement seven years ago,
after 33 years of service at
Fieldcrest, Mrs. Adkins was looking
forward to her first experience doing
volunteer work in a hospital. She
began working four hours on Sundays
and now often substitutes for other
volunteers during the week also.
Mrs. Adkins works at the visitor’s
desk and enjoys her work because “I
get to meet new people and see so
many people I already know,” she
said.
Other Fieldcresters honored at a
recent annual volunteer luncheon
included Daisy Chambers, retired
from Blanket Greige Mill; and Lillian
Fulcher, retired from Blanket
Finishing Mill, each receiving a 700-
hour pin. Anne Gilley, Accounting De
partment, and Ruby Riddle, retired
from Draper Sheeting Mill, received
600-hour pins.
Four-hundred-hour pins were
awarded to Edna Adkins, retired
from Blanket Greige Mill; Mae
Austin, retired from Blanket
Finishing Mill; Margaret Corum,
Blanket Greige Mill, and Mayme
Richardson, retired from Sheet
Finishing Mill.
Madeline Corum, Sheet Finishing
Mill, received a 300-hour pin and
Helen Robertson, Cash-Collections
Department, received a 100-hour pin.

Employee Wins Canteen Contest
The renovation of the Canteen at the
Automatic Blanket Plant has been
completed and the Canteen has even
received a name.
A contest was held among
Automatic Blanket employees to give
the new facility a name. The winner
was Mary Raynor, Control Assembly
Department, whose winning entry
was “Nic-Nac”. She received a $25
U.S. Savings Bond.
Judges were one employee from
each department.
The renovation was completed on
March 28.

(Continued From Page Five)
employees and other friends stopped in to say goodby and to wish the
Marlowes well. In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Marlowe, special guests were
two of their daughters, Mrs. Pam Dove and Mrs. Jean Hand.
Cake and punch were served by members of the Industrial Relations De
partment. Also, a large cake decorated like a front page of The Mill Whistle
was presented to the Marlowes. The headline, inscribed in icing, said
“Congratulations Mr. Otis Marlowe on Your Retirement From Fieldcrest.

known women’s consumer magazines
from Vogue to Better Homes and
Gardens have resulted in a landslide
of requests that have required three
press runs. Over 15,000 books
have been mailed to consumers, who
pay the small price of $1.00 per copy.
(The remaining 13,000 have been sent
to various stores that participate in
Fieldcrest Publicity Events.)
A similarly titled video tape and
film, starring Judy Lindahl, are in use
in many stores and by extension home
economists and university home
economics teachers as training aids.
