Under the Fieldale plan, only one so
licitation is made in the Towel Mill each
year. At that time, an employee may
pledge a single contribution to be paid
in small installments through payroll
deductions for a period of 12 months.
In the latest campaign, Towel Mill
employees contributed a record $16,
046.66, for a per capita average of $13.10.
Over 94 per cent of the employees gave
a day’s pay or more and over 95 per
cent contributed in some amount.
The final tabulation showed that, of
the 1,281 employees on the Towel Mill
payroll at that time, 1,205 gave on the
day’s pay basis. Twenty others contrib
uted smaller amounts, with only 56 em
ployees in the entire plant failing to
make a contribution in the campaign.
The money so raised is used for the
Community Fund and other authorized
fund drives. The funds are adminis
tered by a committee comprised of rep
resentatives from each department in
the mill.
Members of the 1964 committee, in
addition, to those pictured above, are
Charlie Bishop, Josephine Sheltor, Ruby
Watson, Evelyn Joyce, John Jones and
W. O. Stone.
