Sixteen departments and sub-depart
ments in the mills and offices in which
100 per cent of the employees pledged
a minimum of a day’s pay in the Com
munity Fund drive have been present
ed Certificates of Merit by the Tri-City
Community Fund.
The units winning the recognition
were the Burns guards. Canteen, Central

ards, Employees Store, General Ac
counting, General Management, Indus
trial Relations, Leaksville Standards,
Mechanical Development, Product De
velopment, Research and Quality Con
trol, Spray Cost, and Yard Crew.
In addition to the Certificates of
Merit, the Bedspread Mill and the In

plaques given by President Harold W.
Whitcomb to the mill and staff depart
ment in which the highest percentage of
employees pledged a day’s pay or more
to the Community Fund.
Wins Two Consecutive Years
The Bedspread Mill also was the re
cipient of the President’s Plaque in last
year’s campaign.
The Industrial Relations Department
tied with the Standards Department and
the Technical Services Department as
the staff department with the highest
percentage of employees giving a day’s
pay.
A tie among the same departments
occurred last year. Since all three de
partments had 100 per cent of the em
ployees to pledge a day’s pay, the Indus
trial Relations department was declared
the winner both times by virtue of hav
ing the highest per capita contribution
among the three departments.
Fieldale Certificates

campaign, eight Towel Mill departments
received Certificates of Merit given by
D. A. Purcell, mill manager, to the units
where 100 per cent of the employees
