URGENT APPEAL
MADE FOR RED
CROSS WAR HELP
N. F. Land, chairman of the
Butts county chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross, in urging prompt
action to raise the county quota of
S2OO for relief of war sufferers in
Europe, releases the following tele
gram from Norman H. Davis, na
tional chairman.
“With several million men locked
in mortal combat on French and
Belgian soil the relief needs of Bel
gian and French peoples are reach
ing staggering proportions. Already
five million pitiful refugees are
clogging every road into central
southern France trying to escape
bombing and strafing from air
planes. Our representatives in
France report thousands dying by
roadsides of wounds, fright and
hunger. American Red Cross must
rush relief of every kind if these
innocent people are to be saved. We
are expecting millions of dollars in
money and supplies but we need
more and bigger contributions to
carry on. Cannot urge you too
strongly for prompt action if we
are to befriend these sorely tried
victims of brutal warfare. We
count upon you to reach and over
subscribe your goal within shortest
possible time. Every day’s delay
means hundreds may die because we
have not brought them aid in this
their saddest hour.”
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many
friends for their kindness shown us
during the sickness and death of
our husband and father, and also
for the floral offerings. Mrs. A.
D. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
C. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

The Ford Motor Company was founded
by a working-man for working-men. Its
present officers began as employees of the
Company. It was the first company to pay
a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at
the then astounding figure of $5 a day.
That was double the prevailing wage of
the time. The Ford minimum is now $6
a day for all employees engaged in pro
duction work. And from that, the wages
rise to SIO.BO a day, with the average wage
$7.25, exclusive of salaried employees.
The Ford Motor Com
pany was the first large
company to establish the
8-hour day—also in 1914.
And the 40-hour week
was inaugurated by the
Ford Motor Company in
1926, years before any
such laws existed.
The Ford Motor Com
pany employs men with
out regard to race, creed
or color. It is common
knowledge that working conditions in
the Ford shops are the best that science
and constant care can make them. A
square deal, a just wage and stabilized
employment for a large proportion of
our employees —and as fully stabi
lized for all as conditions will permit
enable our men to retain their personal
independence.
In consequence of these policies the Ford
Motor Company has one of the finest
bodies of employees in the world. The
larger proportion are mature men of long
