the chairman for his mill, with the su
perintendents as co-chairmen. Heads of
major staff departments are in charge
of the campaign in their respective de
partments.
Fieldcresters, along with the em
ployees of other firms in Eden, will be
asked to pledge a minimum of one day’s
pay. For the convenience of employees
and upon their authorization, Fieldcrest
will make payroll deductions over a
12-month period to collect the pledges.
Payroll deductions authorized by em
ployees will not begin until the first pay
period in January, 1970. If an employee
has no work during a particular week,
he will not be required to make up the
missed deduction.
Employees who are signed up for
Eden United Fund deductions on a con
tinuing basis, of course, will not be so
licited in the campaign.
To reduce the work involved in an
annual campaign employees in recent
years have been asked to make pledges
on a continuing basis and large numbers
of employees are signed up under this
arrangement.
The budget-goal in the community
wide campaign represents the minimum
