Vote As You Please--BUT VOTE! Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 4) is election day. You have a lot to lose if you don’t vote. By failure to vote you will not be able to express yourself on—for instance—schools, law enforcement, etc., candidates and the issues they stand for. You will be letting those who DO VOTE decide these important matters for you. The right to vote is a priceless heritage of a free people. It is your ticket to continued freedom and the kind of government, local and national, that you want. Maybe you think your vote won’t matter in the final results. But you’re wrong. Your vote could decide an electiom. The winner of many a statewide contest has been decided by a difference of one vote per precinct—or less. Historically, one vote had a lot to do with things in the U. S: Thomas Jefferson was elected by a single vote in the electoral college as was John Quincy Adams. Just one vote elected California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Texas to statehood. More recently, the Draft Act of World War II passed the House by one vote. So don’t throw away the vote you’re entitled to cast in tomorrow’s election. It may elect your candidate to office. Intelligent voting is a basic act of good citizenship. Be a respon sible citizen. Make up your mind. Vote as you please—BUT VOTE! Towel Mill Honors Its Quality Leaders Top quality weavers and top loom- fixers at the Towel Mill for the most recent periods of record are shown below. In addition to being printed in the Mill Whistle, the names of the “top” Jquality weavers and loomfixers are posted on the weave room bulletin boards each week. The “Weavers of the Week” are those with the lowest per cent of seconds with respect to the standards for the various loom groups. The top loomfixers are determined through a combination of low seconds and high loom efficiency on their re spective sections.

Membership in the Credit Union is open to all Fieldcrest Mills employees in the North Carolina mills and offices. Any employee at North Carolina mills who wishes to join the Credit Union should contact his supervisor for information and for a membership card. An employee becomes a member by paying a 25c fee and by signing a card authorizing the Company to deduct a specified amount of savings from each pay check. Savings of as little as 25c a week are accepted. Q. How do I get in touch with the Credit Union representative? A. See the foreman or assistant fore man who will arrange for you to meet with the Credit Union representative. At present, the industrial relations su pervisors in the various mill areas are the Credit Union representatives. Q. What are the more common pur poses for which Credit Union loans are made? A. At this time of year, members fre quently borrow for fall and winter clothing, school expenses, winter fuel, heating systems, home repairs and sim ilar needs. The year around, the more common purposes of loans are for con- sohdating small debts, buying for cash instead of financing purchases, medical bills, dental expenses, eyeglasses and for various financial emergencies. iMutd Ev#ry Other Monday For [ and Friondf of Fiolderoit MIIU# Spray, N.
