College Grads^ Pictures Wanted The Mill Whistle will publish pictures of employees’ sons and daughters who will graduate from a college or university early in June. The parents should fill in the coupon below and send it with a photo graph of the graduate to The Mill Whistle, Fieldcrest Mills, Spray, N. C., or they may hand the material to one of the plant reporters for The Mill Whistle. It is not necessary that the graduate be wearing a cap and gown. If the parents do not have a photograph, the graduate can usually obtain one from the studio that made his or her picture for the college annual. If there are any employees’ daughters to graduate from hospital nursing schools we, of course, wish to include them, too.

It already has visited Leaksville, Draper and Spray and will make return visits to each area later in the year. To meet the yearly quota, 142 pints are needed on each visit. The community-wide program was undertaken at the request of the medi cal staff of the Morehead Memorial Hospital in order that there might be a ready supply of life-saving blood and its derivatives to enable the hospital to better serve its patients. Receive Total Blood Needs Under the plan, the hospital will be supplied blood through the official Red Cross program and all patients from the Tri-City area will receive their total blood needs at the local hospital, with out charge for the blood itself and with out having to replace it. A doctor from the Morehead staff and registered nurses are on duty at all times when the Bloodmobile is in operation in the Tri-Cities. The blood collected is processed at Charlotte and blood and its derivatives are supplied the local hospital from the Charlotte Center. Credit Union Is Safe Place For Your Money When you put your hard earned money into a place for safekeeping, you want to be sure you get safekeeping. That money represents future living, better living for you and your family. Over the past half century, credit unions like the Fieldcrest Mills Credit Union have proved themselves to be as safe and secure as any financial institu tion you can name. For every $100 loaned out by credit unions, less than 20 cents has been writ ten off as uncollectible. Few lending agencies, if any, can match that record. 4 New Products Shown At Council Meeting (Continued from Page One) advertising and described various mer chandising aids being utilized.
