Hall AHr«m Slat* Students
O. Dave Hall, Belmont, textile
executive and a member since
1941 of the ESC (UCC), was the
truest speaker on Tuesday of last
week before about 500 students
and faculty members in the
• School of Textiles at State Col
lege The meeting was in the
Textile School Auditorium. Dean
Malcolm E. Campbell presided
and introduced the speaker.
The address was presented as
a feature in the "B. B. Gossett
Lecture Series" in the School of
Textiles, by means of which im
portant textile executives are
brought to the school to discuss
various phases of the textile in
dustry.
Mr. Hall advised the students,
1 if their conditions and inclina
tions favored it, to work for a
time to gain experience and then
establish small plants of their
own, operating in a field which
is wide open for exploitation—
that of manufacturing textile
specialties. Many of the larger
textile industries in the country
started as just such small plants
nnd have developed through ap
plication of time and energy to
specialty items in new fields.
Plenty of good positions are open
to those students who plan to
work for established firms, if
they will start in minor jobs and
work up to remunerative manage
ment posts. He cited his own
experience as a case in point
In addition to holding execu
tive positions in several large
textile plants, Mr. Hall has served
as president of the North Caro
lina Cotton Manufacturers Asso
ciation and the Southern Comber
\ arn Spinners Association. He
also is a former State Comman
der of the American legion.
Attending from ESC were
Chairman Henry E. Kendall, Di
rector* R. Fuller Martin, UC Di
vision, and E. C. McCracken, ES
Division, and M. R. Dunnagan,
informational service representa
tive.

Among the best things shoal North Car-;
olina is that it i*ai grand place to work
and live and play; One oi the reasons for vT'
this fact is that* North Ckrolina affords t 4
those personal freedoms that go with
: »
living in rural and* uncongested urban *
areas... we are not4 pushed around by f
crowds and timetables. Generally speak*
ing we are a tolerant people, respectful’
of the rights of others; Taw abiding and
peace loving.
These characteristics probably explain
why most of us-prefer the present legal
control of beer: sales--after nearly two
years, it still is working well, protecting
your rights and. remaining the only alter*
native to lawlessness and bootlegging.
