St,V°'^ernors of textile states, mayors

^ 6 been contacted for special procla
mations designating April as “Textile
Month”, highlighting the employment
opportunities and the importance of the
textile industry to local economies.
Although the campaign is scheduled
to last for one month, it is hoped that
the effects will be long-lasting; and,
while recruitment of new employees is
the broad aim, no specific goals have
been set for the number of new peo
ple to be hired.
It is hoped that through simultan
eous action a kind of massive exposure
can be achieved which will make ev
eryone more aware of the industry and
the fact that textiles offers steady jobs,
the kinds of satisfaction that result
from doing worthwhile work, and op
portunities for advancement.
While aimed at persons of all work
ing ages, the heaviest concentration of
activity will be targeted at young peo
ple in the process of choosing a voca
tion.
Although the industry normally has
openings for people with or without
previous training, every effort will be
made to encourage young people to
remain in school and complete at least
their high school education before seek
ing full-time employment.

who will send it to the Payroll Depart
ment.
Name change—Did you give the Per

were married? Also, all employees
should be sure they have the right bene

ords as Retirement Plan, Group Insur
ance, Credit Union and Savings Bonds.
Address—Have you moved recently?
If so, did you notify everyone who needs
your address?
If you need to change an address, or
a name, etc., on any Fieldcrest records,
contact the personnel representative at
your particular location.
