■ Their Work Doesn’t Go Unnoticed They not only clean the General Offices Building, Technical Center and AMP Building: they also perform security functions at night and on week ends and holidays, make sure that the many various supplies for the three- building complex are on hand when needed, and raise and lower the flag in front of the General Offices each morning and evening. All of these duties are performed by an 11-member crew of janitor-watch men in a three-shift operation. Senior office janitor-watchman Robert- Galloway, first shift-General Offices, has charge of delivering shipments of supplies which arrive at the General Offices to the proper areas, procuring office supplies from the Blanket Finish ing Mill Warehouse and from Eden merchants and their transportation to the AMP Building and the Technical Center as necessary. He also reports to his immediate supervisor for needed requisitions. The janitor-watchmen see that all the windows in the three buildings are kept shining, and that the washrooms are kept clean and the floors swept. They also replace lighting fixtures as needed. Those on second and third shift do routine maintenance nightly. This in cludes emptying wastebaskets and ashtrays and general sweeping. All cor ridors are buffed once each week. Carpeted areas are vacuumed each night, washrooms are mopped and cleaned and supplies such as soap, towels, Kleenex, etc. are replaced as needed. In addition, the janitor-watchmen perform periodic security checks during the evening hours and on weekends and holidays. They are in regular con tact with Fieldcrest’s Central Security System, which also has patrols in the area during these hours. In addition to Galloway, General Offices personnel include Raymond W. Hamlin, second shift, Richard Lindsey, second shift, William Wimbish, second shift, and Roland Smith and John L. Woods, who rotate between first and second shifts. Phillip Blackstock works third shift. Fieldcrest Technical Center personnel are Edward Thompson and Jacob King, both second shift. At the AMP Building are Bertha Broadnax and Alexander Wilson, both second shift. With the exception of Robert Galloway and Roland Smith, whose smiling faces are very familiar to General Offices personnel, most of the janitor- watchmen are unseen because their work is done at night. Their efforts, however, are not unseen by the 342 employees in the three buildings. CHECKING SUPPLIES is Robert Galloway, senior office janitor- watchman.
