Fieldcrest Gifts Aid Recreation Projects
Recreational facilities in the Tri-Cities
Were given a healthy boost by two dona
tions from the Fieldcrest Foundation.
Roth gifts were in matching funds to
organizations active in community re-
oreation projects.
The Foundation gave $3,717.90 to the
Leaksville-Spray Y’s Men’s Club to as
sist with projects undertaken this year
by the club. The matching funds con
tributed by the Foundation made pos
sible the purchase of a new Inter
national 30-passenger bus now being
Used to transport boys and girls from
the YMCA to ball fields, tennis courts,
swimming pools and other facilities.
During the school year the bus will
be used to take boys and girls from
School buildings to the YMCA for clubs
srid athletic activities.
Several other projects are being com
pleted this summer by the Y’s Men’s
I). S. Textile Industry
Has Effect On Many
Banker Stresses Importance Of
T'extile Industry To State;
Attacks Foreign Imports
A Charlotte bank official has express
ed grave concern “at the apathy that
allows an increasing flood of imports
Ic endanger our vital textile industry.”
Addison H. Reese, chairman of the
board of North Carolina National Bank,
Said the general public does not realize
Ibat other industries are involved.
“Anything that hurts the textile in
dustry hurts trucking, chemicals, pa
per, oil, metal-working, and corn grow
ers in the Midwest, to name a few other
^Pterests,” he said.
Mr. Reese sent his statement in letter
to the North Carolina congres
sional delegation, to selected congress-
Pien from other areas, and to news
Piedia.
Prompting the statement were re
ports that trade barriers against fore
ign textile imports to this country were
being lowered.
Mr. Reese’s statement continues:
“For years textile spokesmen have
Called attention to cheap foreign im
ports, and justly so. Even in strong tex-
tile areas such as the Carolinas, people

Club with the matching funds from
Fieldcrest and assistance from othei-
firms and individuals. Chief among
these are improvements at the various
ball parks.
These improvements are a part of a
long range program begun in 1961 when
Fieldcrest offered to assist the Leaks
ville-Spray Y’s Men’s Club by contri
buting matching funds for the improve
ments of the ball fields.
Since that time modern softball faci
lities have been provided at the Leaks-
ville ball field, the Spray park, and the
Duke Power field. These fields are now
considered among the best in North
Carolina.
In addition to the donation to the Y’s
Men’s Club projects, the Fieldcrest
Foundation contributed $1,540 in match
ing funds to the Tri-City Jaycees for
their playground project in Spray.
Work on the project, located on the
property adjoining the Spray ball park
at the corner of Lee Street and Park
Drive was begun a few weeks' ago.
The Jaycees allocated some $1,600
from their community development fund
toward the completion of the play
ground.
The park area will cover some two
acres of land and the upper part of the
area bordering on Park Street will be
used for playground equipment while
the lower part bordering on Park Drive
will be used for a picnic area.
At present, plans call for a set of
swings, merry-go-round, glider swings,
junior castle tower and a slide.
