Day’s Pay Per Employee
Is Goal At Fieldcrest
Fieldcrest men and women will have
an important part in the Tri-City Com
munity Fund campaign scheduled for
October 6-11. The community-wide goal
is $36,790.74, the amount needed to pro
vide for the operation of the partici
pating agencies for the remaining two
months of 1958 and the full 12 months
of 1959.
The funds being sought will provide
the operating budgets for eight health,
welfare and recreational agencies. The
$36,790.74 goal represents the bare mini
mum necessary, since requests from the
majority of the agencies were trimmed
sharply.
The budget includes funds for the
following agencies: American Red Cross,
$5,392; Boys Club, $2,940; Carolinas
United, $,2491.54; Cherokee Council,
Boy Scouts of America, $3,500; Consoli
