Credit for the excellent start in the drive is due in large measure to the generous contributions made by employees of the Firth Carpet Company and the Glen Raven Mills, and by these two mill com panies. Although exact figures are not yet available, the contri butions of the Firth employees and the Firth Company will ap proximate $2,100. The correspond ing figure for the somewhat small er Glen Raven plant is approxi mately $1,900. One hundred per cent of the employees at both Firth and Glen Raven pledged contributions, which for most employees will be collected through pay roll deduc tions on the. next three pay days. The Glen Raven mill reports the average contribution per em ployee amounted to $6.75. A large number of employees in both mills contributed one day’s pay, a figure which has been recom mended as a measure of a reason- [able contribution for the support included in the UF budget. In view of the excellent start thus far made, the campaign chairmen Teji Ballou, Don Bur- hoe and Mrs. Eioise Briggs are optimistic that the budget goal can be promptly reached without a long drawn out campaign. They particularly urge all volunteer solicitors to contact prospects as soon as possible, and in order to assist in keeping track of pro gress, to send in partial reports of collections made to date. The Yancey Record hopes to report next week on firms making the honor roll in the UF campaign. This will consist of businesstes where, in addition to making a contribution for the business, all employees contribute one day’s regulations in all cases.
