THE WAYNESV1LLE MOUNTAINEER PAGE SIX Moiidav A'ler0t. v, Ecusta Expansion Program For Making Cellophone To Cosi From 10 to 20 Millions Typical Barnwarming Scene Industrial activity in this sec tion of Western North Carolina took a decided boost as the result of the announcement that Kcusta Paper Corporation of Pisgah For est had completed negotiations with Olin Industries of Alton. Ill . to tsart manufacture of cellophane al the Pisgah plant An expansion program will re cessitate the expenditure of imn; $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. H said. The new step will not i:.ipcde the manufacture of cigaret piper. Harry H. Strauss, chairman ol the Ecusta board, said. The IVu'l.i firm is the world's larcest produc er of cigaret paper. The Illinois firm was recently licensed by DuPont. holder ei tn cellophane patent, to manut.n't'ire cellophane, and President John M Olin of the company, said that his firm picked Kcusta as its ,11111 1! production point because of sin. 1 Iarity in the process of manufac turing cellophane and fine papers. Production of cellophane at Ecusta will start as soon as pos sible, the Olin officials reported, and Mr. Strauss aded that the com ing of the new industry means the necessity of taking on additional help as well as increasing the fa cilities of Ecusta. The announcement of the ex pansion program followed on the heels of the announcement by Gen. Lucius D. Clay, retired com mander of U. S. Forces in Ger many, that he has resigned from the presidency of Ecusta, although he had been on the job only a month. Although he gave no reas-, on for resigning, it was indicated that because of the fact that as procurement officer in the army during World War II he had dealt with the Olin firm and that ethics! would require such a move on his part. It was learned a few days ago that General Clay is to join the firm of Lehman and Companv. investment brokers in New York, i of which the recently elected L' S. senator from New York and former Governor of New York Herbert Lehman, is a member.

"We have a choice," Dr. E. L. Butz, head of the Purdue Univer sity agricultural economics de partment, told the more than 600 people at the Waynesville Armory, "of being princes or becoming paupers. "We must keep America work ing together, producing together, consuming together. "We must somehow get across the idea that we cannot 'gouge each other into prosperity. "We must grow by producing not curtailing." Developing his argumnet, he declared that it svas the Ameri can's spirit of willingness to work, a personal and national philosophy that glorifies production that was the basis of the standard of liv ing that sets the United States so high above the other nations of the world. Showing the other side of the coin, he expressed fear for what he termed the current tendency toward curtailment and restriction of production. This tendency, the economist said, is demonstrated by parts of every group in our economy labor, agriculture, industry, and govern ment. "We cannot," lie warned, "have more by producing less." The only way to keep America strong, he continued, is to keep America producing. "The only language Joe Stalin understands," the economist de clared, "is steel and production." Referring to his recent tour abroad, he declared that the phil osophy that is dragging the peo ple of Europe down is the one which makes two jobs out of a single one, of reducing the work week from 40 hours to 35 hours, "for the good of the country" in brief the philosophy that the peo ple can get more by producing less. In his opening remarks after he was introduced by W. J. Damtoft, secretary of The Champion Paper and Fibre Company of Canton, Dr. Butz congratulated the audience of farm men and women and farm boys and girls, businessmen and merchants for joining together in making the Festival. Referring to this spirit of co operation between rural people and townspeople, he declared: "The city limits sign is now just a tax boundary. "This means it is very difficult lo tell just where the town stops and the country starts." Following his address, the com munity contestants for the crown of the queen of the 1949 Tobacco Festival were presented. Each appeared on the stage spot lighted in rfont of a background illustrating an outstanding feature of her community. Behind the scenes, Miss Mary C ornwall, Haywood s home dem onstration agent, read a poetic of each community commentary describing the spirit was presented.

MORE ABOUT Graham (Continued trom rage D wood County Court House to ca pacity. ' Before that, speaking in his characteristically intimate, infor mal way, the diminutive statesman had expressed his re spect and enthusiasm for the spirit of cooperation the people of Hay wood had shown in making this Festival a success. He paid tribute also to the local county extension workers for their work of supporting him. Dr. Graham declared also that this same spirit of "one family" that Haywood county people have is in the minds and hearts of the people. The United Nations, he said, would not be able to succeed with out it. "Against the moral power of the hearts and minds of the people of the world," he stated, "no dictator can stand." For an example of the effects such a great moral force can pro duce, he pointed to the freeing by the Chinese communist govern ment of U. S. Consul Angus Ward and his aides from a Mukden prison. Dr. Graham pointed out that the communists had taken this action after the United States had ap pealed to the conscience of the people of the world. Originally, Ward and four of his aides had been sentenced to three as its queen cis Cove; Miss Doris Queen, Morning Star. Clyde, Mi-si Novella Wood, upper Crabtree: Miss Cennie FergU'on, Fines Creek.
