These balloons dramatize millions of "Winds of Freedom" messages sent to people of Soviet satellite countries. The word "Wolnose" on the balloon Is the Polish word meaning "Freedom". The 1951 station way is one of the 49 which Chevrolet Motor Division has provided for the motorcades throughout the country. Kermit Hunter Speaks In Behalf Of Crusade The Crusade for Freedom mo torcade started Monday at 9 a. m. In Murphy where a short program was given and a large number of people attended, including stu dents of the Murphy School. Kermit Hunter, author of "Unto These Hills" and "Forever This Land", who is serving as promo tional director of the Crusade in Western North Carolina, spoke briefly here Monday morning. He was presented by Percy B. Fere bee, county chairman. Personnel with the motorcade in eluded Mr. Hunter, Mrs. C. E. Damerson of Asheville, Russell Reynolds, Larry Currys, Miss Phoebe Norton, Herbert Brantley, and Marion Dority of Raleigh The two-unit motorcade, which will show the people of North Car olina how America gets its mes sage of truth through the Iron Cur tain, has started a tour which will take It into several communities in the state during the month of Sep tember. "This motorcade will demon strate the work of the Crusade for Freedom and Radio Free Europe", Mr. Ferebee announced. "The American people have made it pos sible to pierce the Iron Curtain with Radio messages and by Free dom Balloons. They are being asked to help carry on this great work. This is their opportunity to see how their support is being used. , Mr. Ferebee pointed out that the tour of the motorcade will con tinue through all of September, to spark the drive of the Crusade for Freedom, which has set a goal of 25, 000 000 members and $3,500, 000. In Murphy samples of the types of broadcasts which Radio Free Europe uses to fight Communism in the Russian-controlled satellite nations of Europe were given. This will be done at each stop. The motorcade consists of a sound car and a truck. The truck carries a replica of the Freedom Bell which now hangs in Berlin, a simulated radio tower to repre sent Radio Free Europe and Ra dio Free Asia, and a symbolic Iron Curtain being pierced by arrows of truth. "The enthusiasm which this anti-communist activity has aroused across the nation Is amaz ing and .wonderful", said Mr. Fere bee. "The very fact that we have this motorcade indicates the kind of support we are getting. The Ford Motor Company donated 49 two-ton trucks to provide one for each state and the District of Co lumbia, and General Motors has supplied the 49 Chevrolet cars which are used to carry sound equipment. Both organizations are having their promotional organi zations 'and their local dealers support the Crusade for Freedom drive. A & P Tea Co. furnished the drivers in North Carolina. One of the dramatic moments in each stop by the motorcade is the launching of, balloons of the same type which have been sent from Germany by the thousands into Czchoslovakia and Poland, where they are distributed upwards of 10,000,000 leaflets. One is a balloon of artificial rub ber, which eventually bursts when it reaches a height of 30,000 feet, releasing 2,000 leaflets which flut ter down over many square miles of territory. The other is a pillow shaped balloon of plastic through which the gas slowly escapes until the balloon comes to earth on the far side of the Iron Curtain. Its ef fectiveness depends on its falling into the hands of people who will secretly circulate the leaflets it con tains. Mr. Ferebee pointed out that this method of getting into Communist countries is made possible by the fact that the prevailing winds around the earth blow from west to east. This would make it impossible for the Communists to retaliate by sending similar balloons into West ern Europe. "We know that they have been reaching their mark," said Mr. Ferebee, "because we have al ready had reports telling that the Communist rulers have been in furiated and the people encour aged by these messages." Actually, the biggest part of the anti-Communist work is still car ried on by Radio Free Europe, whose broadcasts from western Germany reach six satellite na tions. The motorcade is giving a full explanation of the work of RFE. Local committees of the Cru sade for Freedom in each town where the motorcade stops are co operating in the demonstrations, and are expecting donations. Each stop is brief, to let the motorcade reach as many communities as pos sible. Culberson Revival IsbtlYogress Revival services are in session at Culberson Baptist Church this week. They began last Sunday night The Rev. Floyd B. Clark, the assodational worker in West Liberty, is assisting the pastor, the Rev. Calvin Thompson. The public i invited.
