Seek To Keep High Level
Of Cotton Consumption
Memphis, Tenn.—United support
of the indutsry-wide program to
maintain a high level of cotton con
sumption through research and
promotion is the only real means of
preventing a recurrance of the dis
astrous pre-war cotton surpluses,
Oscar Johnston, president of the
National Cotton Council, said in a
message to the cotton interests of
Newberry county and the sur
rounding area.
Explaining that although cotton’s
position is the most favorable in
many years, the Council president
said that severe challenges to cot
ton from artificial fibers, paper
and cheap foreign growths consti
tute a major problem which can be
overcome only through an intensi
fication of the cotton industry’s
program of research and sales pro
motion.
! “There is no question as to the
tremendous versatility and adapt
ability of the cotton fiber and
seed,’’ Mr. Johnston said. “Our
competitors are fully aware of the
great initial advantage held by
cotton, which last year supplied 76
per cent of the world’s fiber
needs.
“At the same time, the competi
tion is spending millions of dollars
annually to improve their products
and to tell their story to the nation’s
consumers. Surely, the cotton in
dustry can do no less than give its
product the same opportunity.”
During 1947, cotton will need to
take advantage of every opportuni
ty if it is to keep the pace with
competing products, the Council
leader asserted.
“Fortunately, 'our industry has
built solidly during the past sev
en years,” Mr. Johnston said.
“Even now legislation is before the
Congress which will provide cot
ton with a research fund of a
size which will keep our lint and
seed abreast of the competition.
“Through the efforts of the
Council , cotton has achieved a high
position in the field of fashion. Wo
men, who a decade ago 'scorned
cotton except for kitchen dresses,
now accept it as the smartest fab
ric for round-the-clock wear.
“Again, through the Council, the
industry has built great new mar
kets for cotton insulation, a pro
duct which but a few years ago
was in the laboratory stages. Even
now the potentialities of cotton
laminates as a high quality con
struction material are being fully
explored.
“In the field of production and
marketing, the Council has worked
unceasingly to make the fullest
contribution to the development of
new machines and new practices
which will lower the cost of pro
ducing and distributing the crop.
“The industry and the Council
now are making definite progress
toward rebuilding the overseas
cotton markets which we once en
joyed. The Council’s foreign trade
director soon will make a personal
survey of the European markets to
determine just what steps can best
he taken to increase exports of
American cotton.”
To the average member of the
industry, the cost of all this acti
vity is small, Mr. Johnston declar
ed. As an example, he said that
the farmer is asked to contribute
ten cents on each bale of cotton
ginned. This dime is paid to the
ginner who in turn relays it to the
Council to be put to work in build
ing and strengthening cotton’s mar
kets, he said.
Other interests—merchants, ware
housemen, seed crushers, and spin
ners—are making proportionate
contributions, all of which go to
make up cotton’s war chest.
“The individual dime a bale can
do little in cotton’s fight,” Mr.
Johnston asknowledged. “It is only
when every member of the indus
try pays in his share on every bale,
that the results are apparent in
great and lasting benefits to the in
dustry. Full cooperation by all can
and will assure cotton’s future.”
LEVI BENNETT FRICK
The left side of the Seventh Ar
my’s line cracked the Siegfried
line in the drive that was launched
with the Third Army on March 15,
1945.
When the American Third Army
launched its famous counter attack
in the Battle of the Bulge, the Sev
enth Army shifted to the left and
took up Third Army positions.
The Third and 45th Infantry Div
isions were the first elements of
the Seventh Army to cross the
Rhine on March 26, 1945, using as
sault boats near Mannheim.
Lev; Bennett Frick, 78, died sud
denly Sunday afternoon at his
home in the Piney Woods section
of the county. He was the son of
the late Adam and Elizabeth Bow
ers Frick and spent all his life in
the section, he was Ijom and rear
ed. His wife, Margaret E. Frick,
died 14 years ago.
Funeral services were held Tues
day morning at 10 o’clock from Pet
ers Piney Woods Lutheran church
with the Rev. G. H. C. Jarks assist
ed by Rev. J. S. Wessinger officiat
ing. Interment followed in the
church cemetery.
He is survived by five children,
L. Elton Frick, Mrs. A. E. Sum
mer, Viron and J. H. Frick and
Mrs. F. E. Cannon, and 19 grand
children.
The famous 442nd Regimental
Combat Team, consisting of Jap-
anese-American troops, became a
part of the Seventh Army early in
October 1944, as the final drive on
Germany opened.
As the Battle of the Bulge came
to a close, the Germans launched a
major offensive to recover Alsace
and it was elements of the Seventh
Army that stopped the thrust after
a confused four-day battle.

A BelL for Bethania
T HIS is a story of two bells.
C
_ One hung in the belfry of the
little Moravian Church in Beth
ania, N. C. It was made 105 years
ago from coins and treasured
trinkets donated by the parishioners.
The other bell had traveled hundreds of thousands of
miles on a Southern Railway locomotive. After many
years of service it was bound for the scrap pile.
When fire swept the Bethania church in 1942, the
sweet-toned bell made from coins and trinkets was
destroyed. Parishioners missed its pleasant call. So,
when the church was restored, a search was made for
a bell of the same pure tone.
But it couldn’t be found. Then a member of the
church, Frank T. Miller, recalled the beautiful tones
of some of the locomotive bells of his boyhood days. He
wrote a letter to the Southern Railway System ... and
now, a mellow-toned old bell from a Southern Railway
locomotive hangs in the belfry of the Bethania church.
We like to think of this bell of ours still serving the
community... still "belonging” to the people it served
in another way for so many years. We like to think the
whole railway "belongs” in the same friendly way in
all the communities it serves.
Whether it’s transporting freight or passengers... or
providing a “Bell for Bethania”... our job is, and always
will be, to serve the South in every way we can.
