THANKSGIVING, 1946
Thanksgiving is here again.
There could be no better time to
express to you our friendship and
good will. We, who have the re
sponsibility of managing this busi
ness, are aided in meeting that
responsibility by your loyal effort.
We welcome this opportunity to
tell you so to send to you this
Thanksgiving our thanks for all
you have done to make this busi
ness successful.
In speaking of making this busi
ness successful we are using the
word in its broadest sense.
For while a business must show
a profit to continue and endure,
there is much more to it than that.
We want this business to be suc
cessful in being, and continuing to
be, a good place to work.
Successful in having, and keep
ing, good feeling and trust between
all of us who are in this organ
ization.
Successful in giving full value
and service to our customers—
those who buy from us and whose
continued goodwill makes it pos
sible for this to be a going insti
tution where we can all earn a
livelihood.
We want this business to be
successful in holding the respect,
not only of customers, but of the
people of this community as well
as the people who work here.
Our own pride in this organiza
tion will be greater as you take
pride with us in being part of this
organization.. We want you to
share in the satisfaction of know
ing that we, all of us together, are
doing a work which contributes to

Thanksgiving means turkey time, and, in the above picture, Clyde Cox is getting prepared early
with able assistance from Manley Craven Left to right Evelyn Allen. Mildred Robbins, Herman Griffin,
?and Collie Durham lend mural support and hope to share in Clyde’s turkey dinner.
Community Radio Council Gets Underway
The Community Radio Council
has at least become a reality after
many months of planning and or
ganizing. The primary purpose of
the council is to interpret the com-
munity to. the--community and en
able people of High Point to pa-
ticipate in their own programs.
It further has as its purpose the
related one of developing listener
interest in educational radio gen
erally.
The council plans to write and
produce shows for all of the High
Point social agencies. It will be
able to co-operate with the hospi
tal by a series of broadcasts arous
ing interest in the community’s
need for better hospitalization.
Planned also are transcribed
broadcasts for use in all local ele
mentary schools, and a Junior
Town meeting of the air which will
use students from the Junior, Sen
ior and William Penn High Schools.
Eventually High Point hopes to
put a radio in each school room—
but until that time, the Commu
nity Radio programs will be heard
over your home radio. A pro
gram for grammar school children
has already been started and these
programs can be heard over W. M.
F. R. every Monday night from
8:15 to 8:30.

Community Radio Council is that
