SO FAR THIS YEAR THERE HAVE BEEN, / O FATALITIES from AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS 4 in LAURENS COUNTY Let’s Strive To Make 1944 a Safe Year On the Highways. This date last year, 0 of the accomplishments of the textile workers of South Carolina during this war emergency; and of the splendid increased production in war goods which faithfulness and patriotic spirit has made possible. • NEVER BEFORE m the history of our industry has there been such a spectacular increase in cotton goods; such a transfer from non-essential to essential products and such a spirit of cooperation between employer and employee in throwing all of America’s textile resources into the winning of a war. It is a record to which we may all look back through the years to come with great pride and satisfaction. * ESSENTIAL TEXTILES This record has been made possible by our com bined realization that cotton, next to steel is the war’s most essential product and that all textiles have been vital to our cause in supplying our armed forces, our allies, the countries which we„ have liberated, and essential civilian necessities. L From the demands made upon our industry by the Quartermaster Corps ‘arid by the War Production Board it is clearly apparent that our responsibili ties in the-war are tremendous. Furthermore, we are ju£t getting started. We have a long distance yet to go. IN MEETING THIS EMERGENCY the industry needs the continued cooperation of all the people, the workers, management, the farm ers, the merchants, the industry all around us, the ministers, the educators, public officials, in fact every man, woman and child.
