Successful Banquet
(Continued from page 1)
want to be able to look everyone
here straight in the eye and know
that whatever I say has been in
conformance with the facts as far
as we know them, and on any prom
ises that are made, every effort
within our control must be made
to see that they are fulfilled.
"What do we mean by free enter
prise heing on trial, and what is
the problem connected with post
war planning? After the last war,
we had no plans made before hand.
As a consequence, we went through
chaotic conditions, resulting in the
depression of 1920 and 1921, due
to inventory losses, over-expansion
of credit, etc. The problem is as
follows:
"In 1940, 40,000,000 people were
gainfully employed in the United
States, less than fiOO.OOO of whom
were serving in the armed forces.
There were from f,,00(),u00 to 9,
000,000 competent workers unem
ployed. At the end of this last
year, more than 01,000,000 people
were employed in our working
fighting force, of which about one
third, or 20,000,000, will be directly
engaged in the manufacture of
war goods. If America had to
provide employment for this num
ber, the task would be, indeed,
colossal. However, that is not
likely. We can assume that several
million women, along with over-age
and under-age men, will return to
their homes after the fighting
stops so, according to the leading
economists, this country will have
to provide jobs with a normal work
week to have a satisfactory level of
employment for from 55,000,000
to 58,000,000. Approximately 2,
000,000 will be in the armed forc
es. The Government normally
employs 4,000,000.
"There will be a public works
program because of the holiday
which we have had on highway
building and maintenance. There
will be a huge airport construction
program probably, but if all these
w re undertaken, it could not pro
vide employment for more than 3,
000,000 additional men. This means
from 46,000,000 to 49,000,000 peo
ple will be looking to industry,
commerce, agriculture and the pro
fessions for jobs.
"After the war started, in order
for us to participate to the fullest
extent in the war effort, we took
on prime conracts involving essen
tial war supplies, such as the manu
facture of five and seven-man life
rafts, pontons and oxygen hose.
This last product, which we had
developed over a period of a year,
is used on airplanes where they
travel above 18,000 feet, which is
where a great deal of the arial
combat takes place, especially in
Europe. We are by far the largest
manufacturer of this particular
type of hose, and have millions of
feet on order. ,
"Our problem of planning is the
same as yours how to provide jobs
for the manufacture of civilian
products to replace these that are
on a war-time basis. The question
of what peace-time products to
manufacture brings up where is
is your market, your geographical
location, transportation facilities,
labor supply, etc.
"In addition, and this is of the
greatest importance, is the good
will of the community toward your
operations.
"As I stated, this plant was built
here on a solid foundation. Ready
availability of the market was de
termined, the products performed
a service in the textile industry,
and this is a good example of how
the manufacture of products are
planned and determined.
"We do not believe that any in
dustrial operation can be any big
ger than the community. A manu
facturing plant in any community,
and particularly in this one, is a
community affair, and, therefore,
as to how large this plant will
grow, or what size it will eventual-
THE
audience that attended the annual
13 -Point Community
Program Outlined By
Garrett For C. Of C.
Noble Garrett, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, outlined a
13-point program for the organiza
tion this year which included: the
year-round operation of an office;
maintenance of an automobile li
cense bureau in the office; coop
eration with the state department
of conservation in the advertising
of Haywood county and Western
North Carolina.
An independent advertising pro
gram of Waynesville, Lake Juna
luska and Hazel wood; to work as
an organization to continue the
service to hotels, boarding houses
and guest homes; to cooperate with
industrial groups and others in ar
ranging a Labor Day celebration;
to cooperate with the Community
ly be, is one of mutual cooperation
between the community and the
plant.
"We located our plant here, al
though we had looked over a num
ber of other locations, and particu
larly those at Hendersonville, the
other side of Asheville. We chose
this location because we felt with
the few of your community lead
ersMr. Woody, "Pop" Prevost,
the Massie's, the Ray's and others
too numerous to mention, we had
that essential quality of goodwill
of the community. We feel that
we have had it in the past, and are
enjoying it now, but new sets of
conditions will arise, which will
call for a still greater effort on
the part of the community in the
form of goodwill as time goes
along, and we are sure that as in
the past, we can count on it. It is
not enough just to have a passive
goodwill, but at times, it must ex
press itself stronger in the close
cooperation that is so essential to
success. As your friend and neigh
bor, we all have the community's
interest at heart, and since it is
so interwoven with your industrial
operations, we feel confident that
as problems arise, they will be
worked out for the benefit of all
in Haywood County.
"I have told your Rotary Club
and leading members of the com
munity in times past that we
wanted to think of this plant as a
place where your sons and daught
ers can find employment and con
tinue to live in this wonderful
mountain community with its great
natural advantages. We would like
to see Haywood County become a
model for others to follow.
"I want to thank you for your
past goodwill and cooperation, and
look forward to going down the
road together to those things that
make for success."
During his talk, Mr. Ainsworth,
told numerous humorous stories,
and pointed out that visitors to
Western North Carolina annually
leave 25 million dollars in a seas
on. This figure is conservative,
he stressed. "No county in this
area is more strategically located
to get a larger portion of this 25
million cash crop than is Hay
wood," he said.
"A large majority of the visitors
to this section come to one of our
numerous religious centers they
are a spiritual group, and that
gives us a high type, excellent type
of summer visitor.
"There is another group that we
should cater to, and a group that
would in no way interfere with our
spiritual group. We have every
thing to offer the adventurer
trails for hiking and riding."
Mr. Ainsworth was highly com
plimentary of the orchestra, and
said he knew his town would use
it before long. Mr. Ainsworth
was presented by Charlie Ray.

Council in a community-wide rec

To cooperate with the county
agent and various groups in pro
moting agriculture and dairying.
He further proposed that the
Chamber of Commerce cooperate
with the state highway commis
sion and other state and federal
agencies in providing employment
for returning service men; to
maintain in the office a meeting
place for tourists and transients;
to work with officials of national
forests and parks in the area; to
work with established industries
and to seek other industries for the
area; in conjunction with other or
ganizations to provide not less than
50 benches to be placed through
out the town for use by visitors.
