The new quarters will be several thousand square feet larger than the present Worth Street space. The Fieldcrest division will occupy the ground floor space, the mezzanine, and the 14th floor for a total of 31,000 square feet. The 14th floor space totals about 5,000 square feet. At present, the quarters are occupied by F. Shumacher & Co. which plans to move about May 1.

Fieldcrest plans extensive alterations to the quarters immediately after May 1. 182 Pints Is Goal When Unit Visits St. Luke’s Church; Needed For Quota The employees of the Fieldcrest plants and offices in Spray will have a prom inent part in the visit by the Blocd- mobile to St. Luke’s 'Fpiscopal Church in Spray Monday, March 12, from 11:00 a. m. until 4:30 p. m. Although donors are expected from all parts of the Tri-Cities, the unit will be stationed at St. Luke’s for the con venience of persons who live or work in the Spray area. The recruiting of donors is being concentrated in the mills and other business places and among organizations in Spray. In a letter on the mill bulletin boards, Robert A. Harris, vice president in charge of manufacturing, points out the benefits of the Blood Program and urges Fieldcrest employees to do their part in its support. Each Fieldcrest employee working in Spray has been sent a donor’s card on which he is asked to indicate if he will give a pint of blood. The cards are to be collected by the end of this week. Ben Dunton, assistant purchasing agent at Fieldcrest who is the local Bloodmobile chairman, said the Spray visit will be one of the most important of any of the series of visits by the Bloodmobile since the Tri-Cities were accepted in the Piedmont Carolinas Regional Blood Program. As of February 1, the Tri-City area had only 31 pints in its account and with normal usage of about 70 pints each month, the community is now about 40 pints behind in its quota. This means that the Tri-Cities are now being helped by blood donors of other communities, a situation which cannot continue for long, since each community must provide for its own needs. “We will need to have 182 pints do nated on the Spray visit if we are to catch up with our quota and continue to have blood available when needed by local people,” Mr. Dunton said. He pointed out that, normally, 142 pints per visit are needed to maintain the annual quota of 850 pints. Citing the great benefits of the Blood (Continued on page eight) QUALITY CHAMPIONS — Weavers and loomfixers with the best quality records at the Towel Mill during 1961 are shown with D. A.
