At Hayvood County Day
Christian Unity
Is Keynote Of
Sunday Service
At Junasluka
Pointing out today's need for
unity among Christians. Bishop
Clare" "Pii rcolf bf'Ch a rlof le ,' 'prea ch -
ed before an audience estimated
between 7 and 900 people from
the Lake Junaluska Assembly pul
pit at the annual observance of
Haywood County Day, Sunday
morning.
Dr. W. K. Greene, president of
WofTord College, Spartanburg, de
livered the principal address dur
ing the afternoon. Dr. Walter West
of Waynesville, presided during the
morning service and R. L. Cole
man of Canton, in the afternoon.
All Methodist churches in the
county were represented in the
attendance, and visitors enjoyed a
picnic on the grounds'at noon.
Commenting on the fact that in
the Christian calendar the date
commemorated "Pentecost Sun
day,'" which, coming fifty days
after the Resurrection, celebrated
the birthday of the Christian
Church, Bishop Purcell called for
a repetition of Pentecost in the
life of the modern church. The
church in this modern age he said.
must achieve unity or perish.
Using as a texr passage from
Acts 2:1-8. the speaker related the
Bible story of how the Apostles
were "all with one accord in one
place," and how "they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost."
"A common danger," he said,
"had drawn them together and they
were then held together by a deep
sense of kinship. A common ex
perience made them love one
another; they had all seen the risen
Lord; a common testimony made
them one family; their witness was
the resurrection.
"The church of this modern
day." he continued, "must have
something of this sense of unity
which always follows great dan
gers, great experiences and great
joys.
"In this atomic age the church
of Jesus Christ must realize its
essential unity or perish. How can
we Christians demand a UNITED
NATIONS when we have never
achieved a UNITED CHURCHES?
We must set about realizing the
principles of Jesus as the vertable
law of life without which life can
not continue in this world.
"Pentecost today for Christians
not only means a new spirit of
unity but it means a new spirit of
power. The promise of Jesus to
His disciples, 'Ye shall receive
power' was fulfilled on the day
of Pentecost and the record shows
that they received power to per
form many mighty acts. Pentecost
for today should mean that mil
lions of people who are now only
nominal Christians enjoy the pow
er of ivictory over temptation and
sin.
'Pentecost for today means a
new spirit of courage among Chris
tians. The disciples spoke the word
of God with boldness. The trans

1 1 Acres Purchased
For New Plant Site;
Need Housing For
Technicians In Plant
"We would enlarge our plants
and add on many additional em
ployees if the local housing situa
tion would permit us to bring in
the technicians we would need."
I Leo Weill, president of the Wellco
I Shoe Corporation told The Moun
taineer this week, following an ad
dress Friday before the Rotary
Club, in which he pointed out the
steady growth of his firm in Way
nesville. "Due to the lack of adequate?
housing, we cannot bring in the
technicians we would need if we
would expand at this time. In fact,
we are having difficulties getting
living quarters for many key men
already here," Mr. Weill explained.
The firm recently purchased the
former Erkraft building on Georgia
Avenue, in Hazelwood, and have
bought 1 1 acres across the highway
rom the Dayton Rubber Manufac
turing plant in Hazelwood, as a
site for their proposed new plant.
In his address before the Rotary
Club last Friday, Mr. Weill said
that 90 per cent of the 296 em
ployees are women.
The firm began operations here
in March, 1911 with 16 people, and
a payroll of $300 weekly. In Sep
tember of the same year the plai;t
was employing 120 people and mak
ing 1,500 pairs of shoes a day, with
a weekly payroll of $1,800.
"Today there are 296 people em
ployed, making an average of 5,
500 pairs of shoes daily, and a
weekly payroll of $11,000," Mr.
Weill said.
"I am sure that with our future
plans, in a few short years from
now, our present figures of pro
duction will be doubled to the bene
fit of this entire section," Mr. Weill
concluded.
Mr. Weill traced the history of
shoe manufacturing, and pointed
out the increased national produc
tion of shoes, showing that in 1902
the average person bought 2 93
pairs per year, and in 1940 this
figure had increased to 3.06 pairs
per year. The present rate of pro
duction will exceed tlie 1940 level,
speaker said, and every indication
is that 500 million pairs of shoes
and slippers will be made in this
country in 1946.
Wellco Shoes are made on hot
electrical units, and are finished
within one hour after they are
started in the cutting room. Dur
ing the war the firm produced
about two million pairs of hospital
slippers, in addition to a large
volume of leggings.
