I express the hope also that as time goes on you will become still more essential to our joint efforts. Pur milL Mr- Regnery said. A part of an organization that is not large*as things go, and yet is not small. When my father started our organization more than fifty yean ago it was very small. By hard work and unusual ability he gradually built it into an organization of which he was justly proud and I know it is a company to which all of us are proud to belong. Mr. Regnery told the large group of employees that our par ent company invested in the Jo anna Mills on a fifty percent basis in 1928 resulting in provid ing the necessary capital to build the number two mill and thereby over double the size of our plant, this expansion providing to you new old timers tonight jobs with our company. In 1936 our parent company bought out the other owner of the mill and we be came a complete member of our present organization. Policies of my father with employees in augurated in 1§36 have contin ued and will be continued by the management in the future. In speaking of business, Mi 1 Regnery said: Business for the moment is not as active as it has been in past years, but I do not believe there is any reason to fear a general recession. 1 am confident we are going through 6 period of readjustment brought about by many year? of false prosperity due to wars, inflation 1 and general government extrav- , agance. I further feel that the ’ necessary readjustment has fair ly well taken place in our tex tile industry and for the most part is behind us. I think it is Friday | f a , r t 0 sa y that Joanna has suc cessfully weathered another storm and all of you have played no small part in this success. The guest speaker was Dr. James C.

National Cotton Week This Month Is Spotlighting Versatile Fiber SERVICES FOR INFANT Graveaide services were held on Sunday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church cemetery for Mary Bradley Sedler, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Sadler, bom on May IS. Services werfe conducted by Dr. W. K. Ttonar and Dr. C. By man Betts. National Cotton Week, observed I annually in the month of May, (pays tribute to the nation’s most popular fiber. Nearly three-fourths otf the tex tiles used in the United States are cotton. These products range from gossamer gowns to sturdy home furnishings, the National Cotton Council joints out. (Modem science is working con stantly with the basic quality characteristics of cotton to make the fiber even better for its mul titude of uses. Every day scien lists are busy on new develop ments that will Improve cotton and enhance its natural advant ages. New finishes, textures, wceves, and other textile achieve ments are the result of their ef forts to give consumers the best possible product. On the farm, modem methods have stepped up production and brought about efficient fanning operations. Since World War II, cotton farming has come to in volve the wide use of powerful chemicals to kill insects and weeds, and specialized machinery which ranges from crop-dusting airplanes to mechanical cotton pickers. At plant breeding sta tions, geneticists have developed now varieties which yield strong er, finer, more spinnable cotton than ever before. Textile ImprsTs—citB At the same time, the ootton textile industry has modernized its mills and installed faster, more versatile spinning frames, looms, and other equipment to produce better cotton good at reasonable cost. All of these things add up to make cotton America's number one textile fiber, and this month the celebration of National Cot ton Week emphasizes its import ance as the nation’s leading ap parel and household textile.
