When Annie B. Rogers, retired Fieldcrest employee, entered
her name for several prizes being given at the North Carolina
State Fair last fall, she never once thought she would be a
"'inner.
She was one of the 39 members of the Y.M.C.A. Golden Age

^any other Golden Agers from all over North Carolina, she
entered her name for a number of prizes to be given at a later
date.
Mrs. Rogers was pleasantly surprised recently when she re-
'^eived a letter from General Sales and Service Co. announcing
^hat she had won a Riccar “Zig Zag” electric sewing machine,
'"'ith many attachments. She and her husband, T. R. Rogers, an
Employee of Leaksville Woolen Mills, made the trip to Raleigh
and received the machine.
The prize came at a particularly fortunate time, Mrs. Rogers
®3id, since she was preparing to trade in her old electric sew-
machine on a new model.
Prior to her retirement under the Fieldcrest Mills Pension
^lan three years ago, Mrs. Rogers had worked as a folder at
the Finishing Mill continuously for over 32 years. Since retir-
she has attended the Y.M.C.A. Golden Age Club meetings
