“Fieldcrest in War and Peace” to
be traveling- display open to public
in Spray, Draper, Leaksville and
Fieldale last three weeks in May
Great excitement these days—as
sembling the “Greatest Show on
Earth,” the Marshall Field and Com
pany Exhibit called “Fieldcrest in War
and Peace.” Originally planned for a
small exhibit for employees only it has
grown to a major event to which the
public is invited.
The exhibit opens to the public on
Friday, May 11, at the Nantucket
kBuilding, From there it starts on a tour
of Draper, Leaksville and Fieldale on
the following schedule:
Draper Y.M.C.A.—May 14, 15, 16
Leaksville (Pace-Stone)— May 18,19
Fieldale Y.M.C.A.— May 23, 24, 25
Douglas High School— May 29, 30
Commenting on the exhibit being
prepared, J. Frank Wilson said “For
a long time we’ve needed a display of
this kind. Many of our people have
never had an opportunity to see the
great variety of products we manufac
ture—particularly the things we are
making for the Armed Forces. In this
exhibit the whole community can see
these goods displayed, and competent
people will be on hand to answer
questions.”
“In my opinion,” Mr. Wilson con
tinued, “This is a civic event, and all
employees should make it a point to
invite personally their family and
friends.”
In order that all persons living in the
community can visit the exhibit, clubs,
schools and various groups are invited
to come for special showings. Others
will be invited through the newspapers,
movie flashes, signs and posters.

. “Did you get home all right last night,
fsir?” asked the street car conductor of
one of his regular passengers.
“Of course. Why do you ask?”
“Well, when you got up and gave the
lady your seat last night, you were the
only two people on the car.”
Safety Slogan Contest
Any good idea which we have con
cerning safety should be passed on to
our fellow workers that they, too, may
so firmly adopt our thinking that it will
be a guide to them in their daily safety
practices. To make it possible to get
our ideas before all our fellow em
ployees, we are conducting a safety
slogan contest, beginning May 15 and
running through June 15, and, what’s
more, we have an opportunity to cash
in on these ideas as a cash prize of
$10.00 will be awarded for the best slo
gan and a cash prize of $5.00 for the
second best slogan from each mill.
These slogans shbuld be crisp and as'
short as possible, yet of sufficient length
to convey a helpful message. The ac
cepted slogans, which will be judged by
out of town judges, will be painted on
boards and conspicuously displayed in
the various departments with the name
of the author just below the slogan.
Rules of Contest
1. All employees, except Managers,
Superintendents and Foremen, are eli
gible for participation.
2. No person can submit more than
five slogans.
3. Slogans are to become the proper
ty of Central Safety Committee.
4. Hand your slogans to your foreman
any time between May 15 and June 15.
In order to give you a general idea of
the type of slogans wanted we reprint
a few of the winning slogans in the
1940 contest.
“Safety is the working man’s best
tool”
“Safety rules impose no hardships.
Thier violations may.”
“Accidents are avoidable. Forget
your alibis.”
