Lefs Make It A Day^s Pay!
Next week, the employees of the mills and offices in Leaksville-
Spray-Draper will take part in the yearly Tri-City Community Fund
campaign, which has as its goal $59,026.00 to be used for support of
10 essential health, welfare and recreational services.
The budget goal represents the minimum amount needed as deter
mined through the considered judgment of a committee of local citizens
—the Budget and Admissions Committee of the Tri-City Community
Fund.
It will be necessary to raise the full amount of the budget if the 10
participating agencies are to continue to provide the services which
the community needs and has come to expect.
The Community Fund agencies over the years have proved them
selves worthy organizations that make a better life for the Tri-Cities.
We all know o'f people in desperate circumstances who have been
helped by the Salvation Army, Red Cross or other agencies. All of us
benefit from the YMCAs, Boys Club and the Boy and Girl Scouts.
We hope we will never need the services of the Rescue Squad but
we know that some of us will. No one would begrudge a contribution
to assist retarded children, particularly when they are children of our
own community and perhaps are even on our street.
Aside from the worthiness of the agencies in the Carolinas United
package, the contribution we make to Carolinas United prevents a large
number of drives which would otherwise be conducted by the individual
organizations included in the package.
During the drive next week each of us will have an opportunity to
share in taking care of the Tri-Cities’ human needs and obligations.
The Tri-City employees of Fieldcrest Mills will have done their part if
each of us pledges a day’s pay in the campaign. Large numbers of
employees in the past years have pledged a day’s pay to be paid in
small installments through payroll deductions.
How about you? If you have not been giving as much as a day’s
pay, increase your pledge to that amount and have the satisfaction of
knowing you have fulfilled your own obligation in this cause.
