Company presented the first in a

Defense Is
Your Job Too
The fighting in Korea has
not ceased, it is an armis
tice, not Peace! There is no time
for a let up in buying U. S. De
fense Bonds by the Payroll Sav
ings Plan. The heaviest burdens,
the hardest spot of the job lies
ahead. We are still building our
defensive strength and Defense is
everybody’s job! We must fight
inflation, and the best way we in
the production lines can fight is
to produce more, spend less and
buy Defense Bonds. If you have
not done so, j'oin the Payroll Sav
ings Plan in your plant Now!

Employee Gives Views
Bill Spruill of the Caromount
Office made news a few days ago
when he spoke before the Annual
Public Relations meeting of the
Nash-Edgecombe Medical Society.
Bill was one of a group of men,
representing various phases of
business, who were invited to
present their viewpoints of the
Medical profession.
Spruill, who was chairman of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
Public Health Committee last year
was invited to speak briefly on
the layman’s attitude toward the
medical profession. His comments
were well received and he was
complimented by many doctors
for his sincere and frank ap
proach to the question.
Some of the suggestions which
he voiced were: (1) that some
people feel that the charges made
by the Medical Profession are not
in line with services rendered. (2)
that doctors should conduct a
sound and enlightened business.
(3) that the Medical Society
should have a trained public re
lations man, as .other businesses
have done, to sound out the pub
lic as to their feelings towards the
doctor’s manner of conducting
business.
ECSC Meeting
Crusade To Spread
Voice Of Freedom
The Third Quarterly Meeting
of the Eastern Carolina Safety
Council was held in Roanoke Rap
ids on Friday, September 7. Those
attending from Caromount Divi
sion were Ted Poplin and Char
lie Sanders of the Dyehouse; Os
car Satterfield of the Final Exam
ining Department and George Har
per, the Mill Safety Director and
the Chairman of the Eastern Caro
lina Safety Council.
Frank C. Williams, President
of the Textile Mills of Roanoke
Rapids welcomed the council to
Roanoke Rapids and spoke briefly
on accidents, their cost to the em
ployees and to the employer, as
well as the human suffering.
The feature part of the program
was the first public showing of the
new textile movie, “As Others See
Us.” This film was produced by
the Communication Center of the
University of North Carolina and
was financed by the textile indus
tries within North Carolina.
It was filmed in textile plants
in North Carolina and actual tex
tile workers were used instead of
professional actors.
The main lesson which the film
teaches is “Take enough chances
(Turn to Page Three)
This fall, every American has
an opportunity to stand up for the
inherent freedoms that have made
our country what it is. During
September, all loyal citizens are
invited to enroll in the “Crusade
for Freedom”. This invitation
comes from such outstanding lead
ers as General Dwight D. Eisen
hower, General Lucius D. Clay,
Ex-Ambassador Joseph G. Grew,
and manv others.
By joining with these leaders,
we can help swell the messages of
hope and freedom now reaching
millions of persons trapped behind
the Iron Curtain—messages beam
ed to the imprisoned peoples over
the transmitters of Radio Free Eu
rope.
Day in and day out, Radio Free
Europe carries on a slugging, no
holds barred war of Truth against
the propaganda lies of the Krem
lin. It determines the morale of
the Red puppet regimes; exposes
quislings and informers by name;
sends messages from escapees;
and keeps alive the hope of free
dom.
Last year, 16,000,000 Ameri
cans enrolled in the “Crusade For
Freedom.” Their contributions of
over $1,300,000 erected the sym
bolic World Freedom Bell in Ber
lin and built a new station for
Radio Free Europe in Munich—•
the Free World’s most powerful
transmitter.
If we can win this war of ideas
■—this cold war—there is a good
chance we can prevent a global
shooting war.
That is why the “Crusade For
Freedom” this year is asking the
support of 25,000,000 Americans
—to make possible additional
freedom stations, so that we can
intensify our counterattack against
the Kremlin propaganda machine.
The 1951 Crusade goal of $3,500,-
000 will permit the building of at
least two more powerful freedom
stations in Europe, as well as a
new transmitter for Asia to halt
the spread of Communism in the
Far East.
Exiles and escapees write and
voice these freedom broadcasts. It
is a case of Czechs speaking to
Czechs; Bulgarians to Bulgarians,
Poles to Poles. As a result. Radio
