Don't Be A Voting Dropout
An estimated 140 million citizens will be eligible to vote in this
election. Almost 25 million will be voting in their first Presidential
election — 11 million between the ages of 18 and 21 and 14 million
who have turned 21 since 1968.
.Unfortunately, some 47 million citizens failed to exercise their con
stitutional rights by going to the polls in 1968. Among the many ex-
cuses for this failure were “I was too busy,” “I was away from home,”
and My vote couldn’t have changed anything.”
In view of the enormous changes facing our country now, all eligible
bieldcrest employees and their families are urged to fulfill their civic
responsibilty by going to the polls on November 7.

New First Aid Training To Begin This Month
The training and retraining of first
aid attendants to meet the technical re
quirements of the new federal Occupa
tional Safety and Health Act of 1970
(OSHA) will be conducted at all of the
Fieldcrest plants starting this month.
Fieldcrest, of course, has had first
aid attendants for many, many years
and a large number of employees are
graduates of Red Cross courses or of
first aid courses developed and con
ducted by the Company.
However, OSHA regulations state that
all first aid attendants must have com
pleted a course developed either by the
American Red Cross or by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines.
The Fieldcrest Medical Department
selected the Red Cross multi-media
course as being best suited for the Com
pany’s needs. This course consists of
films, workbooks and practice sessions.
It can be completed as one eight-hour
course or two four-hour courses.
The classes will be made up of cer
tain key employees selected by their
departmental supervisors. It is antici
pated that the departmental supervis
ors will participate also.
Instructors will be Norman Austin,
administrative assistant, and Lloyd
Bolt, medical technician, both of the
Fieldcrest Medical Department. They
both hold instructor ratings from the
American Red Cross for this course.
Certificates, valid for three years,
will be issued to all who satisfactorily
complete the course.
The OSHA regulations require that
there be a sufficient number of first
aid attendants on each shift to give
emergency care to accident victims.
At Fieldcrest, the number of first aid
attendants for each mill will be determ
ined jointly by the plant manager and
the Medical Department. A key factor
is the availability and proximity of med
ical facilities.
On Tuesday, November 7, the future direction of this country will
be decided.
THE M[LL VSirH!CT
In this year’s election, the American people will choose a President,
Vice President, 435 congressmen, 33 senators, 19 governors and thou
sands of state and local officials. Those elected will make major deci
sions on issues vitally important to all of us, our families and our
friends.
