Jaggers Speaks To Slater Folks

The Slater manufacturing Co.,
Inc. very appropriately
remembered National Educa-
tion Week by donating to the
local school $50,000 to be used
toward the erection of a new
high school building. This is
the second gift of this kind, the
first one also being a $50,000
donation made in November,
1946.

The meeting, which was held
at Slater Hall on Thursday
night, November 13, was pre-
sided over by Mr. J. A. White,
Plant Manager. It opened with
the singing of "America" by
the audience, after which the
Rev. Ralph Kaney, pastor of
the Slater Methodist Church,
pronounced the Invocation.

In welcoming those who were
present, Mr. White stated that
the people of Slater are for-
tunate in having a company
like ours, churches like ours,
and a growing, progressive
school. He emphasized the fact
that every individual has a part
to play in making and keeping
the community as we would
like to have it.

Special music, featuring
"The Bells" (adopted from
"The Bells" by Edgar Allan
Poe) by Rachmaninoff was
rendered by the following girls
from the school: Sara Wylie,
Carolyn Marsh, Betty Vassey,
Shirley Scarce, Mildred Farth-
ing, Freddie Truesdale, Frieda
Thornton, and Patricial Sum-
mey. The music was directed

PUPILS DONATE TO

Donations from the high
school amounted to $13.74,
while the elementary school
gave $14.45, making a total of
