Highlights Of The Fourth Of July
(Continued From Page Four)
the stockholders obtain a special dividend. Not So with
us. I look upon you as our partners, even if you are not
financial investors in the company, and I want you to
share in the improved results accomplished during the
first six months of this year. Therefore, we will add to
the next pay envelopes which you receive, a bonus
which is meant to be a profit-sharing distribution to you.
“But I promise you that if they will be equally as
good, you will obtain at regular intervals a bonus from
us, and if you do better than you did during this period,
you will get more.
“On the other hand, should we have, due to reasons
beyond our control, a period where we earn less, or
maybe nothing, as it happens in many companies, then
we cannot give a bonus. And if I have to appear before
you on this platform and have to explain to you the
reason why 1 cannot distribute a special bonus—I sin
cerely hope I will never have to lace you to tell you
this—1 want you to accept my statement at its face
value.
“It is not what you may have earned yesterday, what
you may earn today, but what you might earn at some
time in the future that is most important. What counts is
your continued weekly earnings, monthly earnings, and
yearly earnings. Also the privileges of your job, in addi
tion to your regular and continuous earnings.
“By the privileges of your job, I mean, we want to—
us we have in the past—at all times—preserve the ben
efits which each of you receive from liie insurance, sick
and accident insurance (which as you will recall, we
placed in effect in January of this year), free hospital
ization and surgical care, vacation privileges, and a
safe and pleasant place to work with adequate recrea
tional facilities for you and your families. If we can
maintain all of these privileges constantly and contin
uously throughout the years to come, all of us will have
a greater sense of security, a better job, a greater fu
ture, and live a more happy and contented life.”
President Notes
Big Fire Losses
By ERNEST BURCH
The statement below was quoted
by the President of these United
States at the opening of his con
ference on “FIRE PREVEN
TION” which took place in Wash
ington, D. C., on May 6, 7, and 8,
1947.
“The serious losses in life and
property resulting annually from
fires cause me deep concern. 1
am sure that such unnecessary
waste can be reduced. The sub
stantial progress made in the
science of fire prevention and
fire protection in this country
during the past forty years con
vinces me that the means are
available for limiting this un
necessary destruction.”
Harry S. Truman.
Well, President Truman was
rightly concerned, and so should
we all be when we learn that the
property loss due to fire in 1946
amounted to the appalling figure
of $561,487,000. In addition to this
stupendous loss, what is even more
I important is the estimated average
of 10,000 deaths annually during
the last ten years, due to fire. In
these times, when every commod
ity is needed to help clothe, feed,
and shelter our population, as well
as the needs of this war-torn world,
such losses are frightening. To
date, fire losses for this year have
exceeded last year’s average, and
if we finish the year with the av
erage fire loss we have suffered
these first six months, the prop
erty loss for the United States

Bishop Pfohl And Sons Are Visitors At Picnic
Among the many distinguished visitors at the
Fourth of July picnic were Bishop J. Kenneth
Pfohl of Winston-Salem and two of his sons,
James Christian and Kenneth, Jr.
Prior to becoming bishop of the Southern
Province of the Moravian church Bishop Pfohl
was for 26 years pastor of the Home Moravian
church in Winston-Salem, the city in which he
was born and reared. Kenneth, Jr., shown on the
right, is a tax expert with the International Busi
ness Machine Company.
To the people of Brevard and vicinity, probably
the best known of the three Pfohls is James C.,
better known as “Jim”, who will direct the Bre
vard Music Festival again this year. As director
of music at Davidson College, director of the
Transylvania Music SchooI Camp, and innumer
able other capacities, he has become nationally
known in his field
The many Ecustans present for the “Pirates of
Penzance” Wednesday night, July 23, at Brevard
high school heard a fine sample of the artistry
of Mr. Pfohl. He conducted the Music Camp Or
chestra through the long score with such outstand
ing ability that this performance alone, no douht,
convinced the listeners that the Music Festival
should be a “must” on their list of August ac
tivities.
