Several gift certificates will awarded in each mill division. ed Hicks, of the rug division Technical Ser vices Department, is first vice chairman. Division vice presidents of Fieldcrest are chairmen for their respective di visions with the plant managers and the major staff department heads serv ing as co-chairmen. Fieldcresters, along with the em ployees of other firms in Eden, will be asked to pledge on the “Fair Share” basis. For the convenience of employees and upon their authorization, the com pany 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, 1972. 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 of $150,000 is an in crease over last year’s goal of $125,000, due mainly to the increasing costs of operation of the participating organiza tions and in some instances to increased services and programs being offered. The board of directors of the Eden United Fund approved the over-all bud get recommended by the budget and ad missions committee. Included is a new agency, the Eden Child Development Center, a licensed and approved day care center with an enrollment of 60 children. Its purpose is to provide the Eden community with the best example of professional day care for children from two to five years old in an educational environment where pre-schoolers can learn as they play. The center is located in the First Christian church (Disciples of Christ) They Did It Again! The first department at Fieldcrest to have 100% of its members pledge “Fair Share” contributions to the Eden United Fund was the Yard Maintenance crew. The same group was the first last year. The men received their cards at 8:30 a.m. Friday and by 9 a.m. every man had pledged a “Fair Share” and on a continuing basis. The Yard Maintenance crew will re ceive a certificate of merit from the Eden United Fund for having 100% “Fair Share” participation. on Oakland avenue. A total of $3,600 has been allotted for the center. Other agencies which will benefit from the proceeds and their allotted sums are as follows: the Boys Club, $24,000; Boy Scouts, $14,840; Eden YMCA, $55,000; Girl Scouts, $5,000; Red Cross, $11,368.34; Rescue Squad, $5,655; Retarded Children, $2,500; Sal- (Continued on Page Eight) In ‘Jimmy Stewart Show’ To Include Products V, addition, the names of all em- „jJ^yees, mill and staff, who pledge a Share” will be included in the for the grand prize, the color ^Vision set or the stereo console. sques, certificates and other honors to be awarded to departments in vj] 100 per cent of the employees ^ge a “Fair Share.” 5re '^hi by' The President’s Plaque is to be given William C.

This exciting new comedy program revolves around the experiences of a college professor, portrayed by Jimmy Stewart, and his family at the rural university where he teaches. So, when the show’s producer, War ner Bros., needed products that depict the taste found in affluent homes, they found Fieldcrest most in tune with the times. Some of the products to be fea tured on this show include “Racing Stripe” and “Spring Song” sheets, “Im perial Rose” bedspreads,“Royal Velvet” towels and many other items and de signs. The product exposure in “The Jimmy Stewart Show” is part of Fieldcrest’s new effort to publicize our designs in selected motion pictures, television shows and theatre plays that depict the kind of tasteful home decor for which Fieldcrest is known.
