M. n Orphans At Harris Entertained Home Mr. and Mrs. Homer F. Har ris entertained several Ecusta and Champagne office employ ees at their home on the Hen dersonville Highway. Most of our employees will know that Mr. Harris is the handsome, congenial head of the cost de partment. Mr. Harris is not only an accountant but has now become a turkey raiser of wide renown. It was turkey upon which the guests feasted, and it is rumored that the flock was decreased substan tially as a result of this dinner. The praises of Mr. Harris’ ability as a turkey raiser, how ever, were not as loud as the praising of the prowess of Mrs. Harris in the preparation and serving of the famous bird. The “Orphans,” as Mr. Har ris called those present, in cluded several people working on Mr. Harris’ side of the main office who have moved here to work for the above companies and are not living with their immediate families. Among those present were: Lita B. Steppe, Mildred Carpenter, P. R. Millner, Bollin Millner, Spur geon Carpenter, Chas. Mat thews, James Dixon, and Fred Williams. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Harris. FAILURE IS A SNAP! There is just one thing at which you can be a howling success without trying^—fail ure! Everything else requires some degree of effort by the person who wants it. A per son cannot become a safe work er without trying but, boy, one can succeed as a careless work er without the least bit of ef fort! Effort, trying, working at something with the idea of do ing the very best job possible is the only way to succeed at anything—except failure. The underlying principle of success in safety or any thing else worthwhile is the intensity of a person’s interest. The inten sity of one’s emotions is a far greater driving force that the sum total of his or her educa tion or the size of the brain. Find a person who is deeply and sincerely enthusiastic about his or her work and you’ve got a person who is a success at whatever he or she is doing—not only in their own eyes, but in the eyes of their fellow-workers and foreman. The success of any safety program—the actual number of injuries it will prevent—de- Flood Lights Great Aid to Night Workers The flood lights which have been placed on top of the high tow'er at the main entrance to the plant are proving to be a great convenience to em ployees in getting to and from work at night. These lights flood the parking lot and sur rounding sections, and enable employees to find their way to their cars as well as to find the cars themselves. Any rough place can be easily seen and avoided. Since the lights have been erected, it is not quite so lonesome for some who work on the “graveyard shift.” The lights are also a great assistance to the police in pro tecting the cars and property in the parking lots. Any prow ler who might be tempted to pilfer the cars in the parking lot can now be easily spotted and apprehended. Many employees have ex pressed their appreciation for this convenience for those who work at night. BASEBALL Saturday, April 19 Ecusta vs Sayles At Ecusta pends almost directly upon the degree of enthusiasm and in terest shown in it by the men the program is resigned to pro tect. Whether it be the effort of just one person or of an en tire group . . . whether the goal is financial success or prevent ing accidents, genuine interest in the job is the best insurance that the goal will be reached. In the past few years we have seen safety records run ning into millions of man-hours —some of them in heavy, haz ardous industries. What brought about the im provement? Just plain, simple enthusiasm and cooperation. In other words, effort! Management, foremen and workmen got together. They said, “Let’s study these acci dents. How are they caused? What can be done to stop them?” When the whole or ganization tackled the prob lem in that spirit, they didn’t have to wait long for results. “Old Man Accident” is in dustry’s worst enemy and with everyone pulling together, we can easily drive him out. “The Safe Worker” Page 3 Landscape We are now approaching the gardener’s busiest season—the season when preparation of the soil and seeding is done and cultivation begins. It is well to remember that the success of any crop or single plant is dependent upon the fitness and condition of the soil, the nutri ents or fertilizers available, and the care and methods of cultivation used after the growth of the plant begins. No set rule can be given for fertilizing due to the varying soil types and their fertility and to the various plants used. It is well to have your county agent or soil service analyze the soils and to aid in determin ing the kind of fertilizer. Seeds should be purchased from a reliable seedman to in sure seeds that are free from weeds and have a high germin ation percent. Buying good seeds may mean the difference between success and failure. The depth of seeding is im portant and depends on the of seed, size of seed and mois ture available. Large seeds are planted deep except in the case of seeds such as beans, which pull themselves out of the soil. These must be plant ed shallow. Sma?ller seeds are planted shallow and very small ones are usually pressed into the surface rather than cover ed. Dry soils will require deep er planting than moist sois. It is often necessary and usu ally desirable to plant some seeds in beds or shallow boxes and then transplant the seed lings into their permanent place in the field or garden. Tomatoes and petunias are ex amples of this. The soil for these plants or flats should be good garden loam mixed with clean sand at the rate of about three to one. This insures a light, porus soil that will allow the young seedlings to “push out” easily. A soil that “bakes” or forms a surface crust should not be used. A pane of glass, cloth, or some other object may be used to cover the boxes to conserve moisture and hasten germination. This should be removed as soon as the second ary leaves appear. Soil preparation is very im portant to the success of the plants. Thorough turning and pulverizing and the addition of compost or other forms of humus is necessary. Cultiva tion should be shallow in order to avoid injury to the roots. Deep plowing or hoeing can in jure the plants to a great ex tent. vvmiams, woiucut^ Recreation Director, will act in the of librarian and will be on P M A., M., until 5:00 K 1 books.
