Champion Official Warns
Of Socialism - Communism
Dwelling mc constant threat
of Socialism-Communism in the
United States, Bob Putnam of the
industrial and community rela
tions department of the Champion
Paper and Fibre Company, spoke
before delegates attending the an
nual convention of Southern Tile
Contractors at the George Vander
bilt hotel Friday at noon.
This was Putnam's 125th address
on this and related subjects since
January 1, 1952, and his talk was
illustrated and documented.
Using a special display of sub
versive propaganda pamphlets
which are indicative of the mil
lions of such materials which have
been flooding the country during
the past few decades, the guest
speaker explained that this was
the only display of its kind in the
world today.
The display panel is comprised
of photographs of the original unit
that was used in the testimony of
Walter S. Steele, editor of the Na
tional Republican magazine, before
the House Un-Ameriean Activities
Committee, Department of Justice,
and a secret security meeting of
governors, attorney generals, police
chiefs and Army-Navy intelligence
officials.
More than 90 of the organizations
first exposed by the National Re
public, Putnam said, are now in
cluded in the Department of Jus
tice's official list of subversive
movements.
"With the change in administra
tion," Putnam said, "and a new
political party in power our people
are too prone to become complac
ent. The threat of Communism-So
cialism to the American way of life
was not stopped by the November
election.
"The people behind this move
ments" the speaker continued, "are
out to take over the minds, bodies,
and even souls of the entire hu
man race, and they intend to suc
cess even if it means the destruc
tion of ou rcivilization. Basically,
the fight is between two complete
ly opposed ideologises?Christian
ity with its love of God and man
and Atheistic-Materialism with no
God, and man only existing to
serve the state which is his mas
ter."
"The real nature of the cold war
that is being ruthlessly waged
against us," Putnam declared, "is
not diplomatic, political or econ
omic. It is moral and spiritual. If
we are to survive, we of the West
ern Democracies must have a big
ger idea than Communism and live
it with a greater and more revo
lutionary passion than the Com
munist lives his ideology."
"Western Democracies' big idea
roust be 'God shall rule'. In our
jobs, in our homes, and in our com
munity life we must prepare to let
God rule in us," the speaker de
clared.
"Our 'Big Idea'," Putnam con
cluded, "must be the imprinting of
the slogan on our American coins
into the hearts of every American
? In God We Trust'!"
The paper and fibre company ex
ecutive has received requests for
speaking engagements on this sub
ject from many areas of the south
east and more than 23,000 persons
already have heard him deliver
this message. He has advance
speaking engagement in Atlanta,
Greenville, Charlotte, Kaleigji and
many othar point?*, , , ,

Accomplishments
Of Rotary Given
By Williamson
Rev. M. R. Williamson reviewed
the 48-year period since the found-1
ing of Rotary, for the annual pro
gram on "Rotary International
Week".
Rotary was founded in 1905, by
a lonely lawyer, Paul Harris, who
invited in friends to lunch with
him once a week and discussed.
mutual problems.
From the small beginning in
Chicago, the idea has spread to 85
countries, and Rotary now has
over 360.000 members.
"The reason it has prospered, j
and grown,'' the speaker said, "is
because it was founded upon the |
right principles. The basic prin-1
ciples have never been changed: J
I giving special emphasis on friend-!
ship and fellowship."
The speaker dwelled on the value
of friendship, and its importance in
a world of stress and concern.
Another emphasis placed ? by
Rotary is one's service to their
community.
A feature of Rotary which is
proving of world-wide benefit to
day, is the Rotary Foundation,
which enables students of many
countries go to other countries and
study in universities and colleges.
Thus far about three millions have
been raised for this fund, and 109
students have shared its benefits.
"I believe the time will come
when some young people, with
broad international understanding,
will batter at the door of the Iron
Curtain and gain admittance."
William Prevost was added to
the club membership. He was in
ducted by JVf. H. Bowles, secretary.
White Hats
White hats are very popular for
the season, and they're especially
