FOCUS ON GIVING
The 1981 Brevard Plant United
Way Campaign was an outstanding
success. My thanks to all those
who helped make this possible.
Thanks first to each employee
who contributed. Your generos
ity resulted in total contributions
of $48,107, an amount that ex
ceeded our goal by $3,100. A
special word of thanks to those
who worked as campaign chairman and solicitors. The names of
those who did an exceptional job are too numerous to mention.
A number of plant groups increased their giving over last year,
which is a further tribute to all those who helped make the cam
paign successful.
Giving to United Way is one method of sharing a portion of our
blessings with those who are less fortunate than we are. We should
all feel good about doing our part. I am certain your generosity
will once again prove that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

TENNIS COURTS COMPLETED
There's good news for plant tennis
players: your DERA card now entitles
you to tennis privileges on the new coKTt
which has been built at Lake DERA.
The new facility has room for two
doubles matches, and it's first class all
the way, from the careful grading and
special pavement to the fencing which
surrounds it. Rules will be posted, and
present plans are for a clock which will
be set by users to tell those waiting
when the court will be free. Use will be
irst-come, first-served, but first-comers
THE HIGH PRICE
OF NOT SAVING:
BONDS MAY
Notice how the cost of not saving
keeps going up?
When you need cash and you
haven’t saved it, you have to bor
row. You have to pay through the
nose to use someone else’s money.
That’s why it makes so much
sense to put away a few dollars
each month in your Thrift Plan for
U.S. Savings Bonds.
You can receive interest on your
own money — Or you can pay it
out on someone else’s.
are expected to be courteous.
Tennis shoes will be required. The
contractor who surfaced the court says
the surface may be ruined by regular
street shoes. "Tricycles, bicycles, skate
boards and such are sudden death!", he
advises; "Jogging shoes will dig it up like
spikes."
$0 it's "Tennis, anyone?", and tennis,
only, please. If you're not an experi
enced, conditioned player, remember to
take it easy on yourself the first few
times out. Tennis is a strenuous game.
If you've been passing up the Thrift
Plan and its 50 percent Company con
tribution because you think the Thrift
Plan will tie up your money until you
retire; if you would like to know how
more than 25,000 DuPonters are receiv
ing money through the Thrift Plan every
year, with no penalty . . . read on.
Consider: Every dollar you put into
Fund A returns to you through annual
delivery of U.S. Savings Bonds each
September after a two-year holding
period. At the same time you can have
the 50 cents the Company has contribu
ted on each of these dollars (up to 6
percent of your pay) delivered to you as
DuPont stock.
And ... if you need more of your
pay for a month or two, you can reduce
or stop your savings. Your bonds will
be delivered on schedule even if you've
suspended your deductions.
These annual delivery features of the
Thrift Plan give you your savings and
the 50 percent Company contribution
to help meet your short-term goals.
Employees with children have an
BE BEST BUY
extra tax benefit. Savings Bonds bought
in your child's name (with you as bene
ficiary, not co-owner) will be a tax-free
investment until your child earns more
than the zero bracket amount ($3,300
in 1980). You just file a tax return for
your child the first year to show your
child intends to account for the interest
on an annual basis.
Also, the Savings Bonds purchased in
your child's name can be used for ex
penses other than education. They can
be redeemed for any personal use by
your child, such as clothing, travel or
job hunting. The key is that your child
must be the owner of the bonds; if you
are the co-owner, you will have to pay
taxes on the interest even if the bonds
are used for the child's expenses.
Do you have several children? The
Thrift Plan's new multiple registration
feature lets you buy bonds for up to
five children without having to initiate a
new registration form.
For many. Savings Bonds offer a con
venience and a return that's hard to beat.
