James Finley Asks Textile
Leaders to Support Carter
NEW YORK, N. Y„ Nov. 29
-- A U.S. industrial leader
today publicly called upon
his business colleagues to
offer President-elect Jimmy
Carter their complete sup
port as he assumes the duties
of the President of the United
States.
In remarks before some
500 business people attending
the annual textile award
luncheon of the New York
Board of Trade here, James
D. Finley said, “Regardless
of your political affiliation, I
strongly urge you and all my
business colleagues to offer
President-elect Carter the
fullest measure of genuine
support.”
Finley is chairman of the
board and chief executive
officer of J. P. Stevens & Cos.,
Inc., and president of the
American Textile Manu
facturers Institute, the cen
tral trade association for the
nation’s textile industry. He
is this year’s recipient of the
New York Board of Trade’s
Textile Award, which recog
nizes distinguished service to
the textile industry.
In his remarks Finley said
that the presidential succes
sion is not limited just to
government, but to every
other sector of society as
well.
“We, too, have definite
duties and obligations to our
new President as he assumes
the awesome responsibilities
of national and global
leadership,” Finley said.
“We must share our know
ledge, expertise and experi
ence as business people with
the incoming Carter admini
stration.”
He added: “Our job in the
business world is to offer our
cooperation to Mr. Carter in

Elsewhere in his address
Finley commented upon
several points which he feels
will greatly affect the future
of the textile industry.
He cited the fact that the
flood of textile products into
this country from abroad will
result in the U.S. showing the
highest trade deficit in
textiles in its history this
year.
Pointing out that this
deficit could exceed $3
billion, Finley said, “It is
imperative that our govern
ment take full cognizance of
our plight...”
Turning to other problems,
Finley said that cotton
represents less than 30
percent of textile fiber
consumption today, com
pared to 72 percent just 25
years ago. He said that
unless cotton growers pro
duce a more stable supply of
cotton for the American
textile industry with more
price stability, he believes
that cotton use will continue
to diminish.
Editor’s Note: James
Finley is a native of Jackson,
graduate of Jackson High
School and Georgia Institute
of Technology and a brother
of Miss Elizabeth Finley of
Jackson.

THE GAME WE DIDN’T WIN
It’s great pleasure sometimes for those of us over thirty
to recall past events in our lives. It’s kinda funny how things
grow more precious as the years go zooming by. Memories
seem to be so much richer the older they get. I was thinking
about some old times the other day. I remembered quite
clearly one occasion. It was a high school football game.
It was a very important football game for our team. For
we had gone through nearly the entire season and we were
undefeated and untied and it looked like we were enroute to a
perfect season. We had a big game coming up, and the game
would decide the conference championship. If we could win
this one, it was all ours.
There was much excitement about that game. We played
on the visitors field, but nearly everyone from our home town
had followed us over and the stands were packed with fans
pulling for us. We felt certain we could defeat our opponent
because we had beaten a team by 26 points which had
previously beaten this opponent by 13.
But after the game got underway nothing seemed to go
right for us. We could move the ball down to the opponents’
five yard line, but we never got any farther. I guess we spent
50 percent of the first half inside our opponents’ five. But for
some reason we could never get the ball into the end zone.
Late in the half one of our opponents intercepted a pass and
ran nearly the length of the field for a touchdown. The extra
point was good and at the half we went into the dressing room
with a 7-0 deficit. Our’s was a rather dejected group for we
had not been behind in a game all season. Most of the fellows
were already conceding defeat. I can remember that one
other player and myself were still positive--we thought we
could win.
In the second half we played a little better. We managed
to score a touchdown. And when it came time to call a play
for that all crucial extra point, the play was a pitch-out option
on which the quarterback could either elect to run with the
ball or pitch it out to me, the halfback. Well, at the last
moment he pitched it out. I grabbed the ball and I don’t
believe a bulldozer could have stopped me. It was 7-7 with
time left to score again.
I played extremely hard in those last few minutes, and
once I nearly broke away. We were so close to scoring. But I
didn't have the speed or co-ordination and my try was short. I
can remember walking off the field when the game was
over-I was awful despondent. A tie in my book was as bad as
a loss. As I walked off the field my father was waiting for me.
He had never done that before. But I can remember the
expression on his face-he was proud of me, of the game I had
played, despite the tie. I had done my best, and he was proud.
I have come to realize over the years that my Heavenly
Father is like that, also. He is proud of us when we have done
our best, even if it wasn’t good enough. Everytime I lose or
tie now, after doing my best, I remember that. And.
somehow, it gives me strenght to try again.
