Burlington Plant
Hits 10 Million
Safe Hours
"We've scored a big 10," said
Raeford Plant Manager Bill Ar
cher.
Archer referred to a 10 million
hour safe work record reached by
the plant's 1200 employees at 12:15
p.m. Monday.
"It's simply a case of our
employees being totally dedicated
to safe operations," Archer said,
praising the plant safety steering
committee and wage and super
visory employees in each depart
ment for their leadership.
He said the record performance
covers a three-year span, this
means the plant has operated since
that time without a single lost-time
accident.
Employees celebrated a 9 million
achievement in July, and pledged
to move on toward the 10 million
mark.
"Now that we've achieved this
goal, we see no reason not to con
tinue working toward 11 and 12
million," Archer said.
The Raeford plant, and its sister
operation in Raeford, Burlington
Menswear Dyeing, are units of the
Burlington Menswear division of
Burlington Industries.

Heritage F ederal
Ends Y ear In Black
Heritage Federal Savings and
Loan Association, the states 8th
largest, ended fiscal year 1982 in
the black.
Fred A. Parker, President of
Heritage reported that the associa
tion at year-end November 30,
showed a profit of $1,540,930.
During 1982, Heritage was able
to sell a portion of its low yielding
mortgage loans and re-invest those
funds in high yielding short term
instruments.
By late summer, interest rates
began to decline and lowered
Heritages cost-of-funds and im
proved earnings.
Also, consolidation of opera
tions of the merged associations
reduced operating expenses and
added substantially to earnings.
Heritage, based in Monroe, was
one of the states pioneers in
mergers. Parker said that
"Heritage merged with First
Southern Savings and Loan of Lin
colnton in 1980.
Then in 1981 and 1982, merged
with associations in Smithfield,
Raeford, High Point, and
Madison. The association current
ly has 17 offices in 10 counties and
assets in excess of S288 million.
On October 15, 1982, President
Reagan signed into law the most
comprehensive legislation affec
ting savings and loan associations
since the 1930s. m
Under the new legislation, '
Heritage will have the opportunity
to broaden its services to
customer's loans; loans to small
business and farmers; and com
mercial checking accouts.
"A vital part of Heritages in
vestments in the year ahead will be
in home financing. These new len
ding powers will benefit home
buyers by giving Heritage the addi- M
tional flexibility to earn income
from a variety of alternative
sources so that mortgage rates
alone will not bear the entire
burden when money costs are
high," Parker said.
Parker, who is currently serving
as Vice Chairman of the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, re
mains hopeful that 1983 will be the
year that economic recovery took
effect. 4
He adds a note of caution
however, "that Congress and the
Administration must deal suc
cessfully with record high
unemployment and huge federal
budget deficits if interest rates are
to continue to decline and
economic health return."
