MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
A few days ago 1 received the following letter from the
United States Department of Agriculture, Forest, Service, Pis-
gah National Forest:
“June 5, 1941
Mr. Harry H. Straus,
President,
Ecusta Paper Corporation,
Pisgah Forest, N. C.
Dear Mr. Straus:
As a good neighbor of the Pisgah National Forest and its
National Game Preserve I have always found Ecusta and
its people interested and helpful in what we are doing
there. We have built and maintained and you have enjoyed
the use of the many recreational and picnic areas as well
as the game hunts and the trout fishing. The ease with
which one can reach these areas is no small part of their
usefulness to you.
Unfortunately, from time to time, a few selfish persons dis
regard the rights of others and, in doing so, deprive the
rest of us of our full enjoyment of the Forest. Such an in
cident was the recent wholesale theft of trout from near
our Fish Hatchery. Of course, the oflFend'ers will land in
prison because the whole power of the Federal law en
forcement machinery is thrown into preventing a few men
from depriving the rest of us of our own rights and privil
eges. But meanwhile our streams will lack those 400
eleven-inch rainbows that we had planned to plant. We
try our best to prevent such occurrences, but only with your
help and that of all your people can we succeed in keep
ing the resources and facilities of the Forest open to all.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) H. B. BOSWORTH
Forest Supervisor.”
I want to add a few words of my own to the above* quoted let
ter from Forest Supervisor Bosworth, in which I request your
wholehearted cooperation in seeing that the law and the rules
and regulations of the Forest Service, as far as fishing and
hunting are concerned, are not violated by anyone connected
with Ecusta Paper Corporation, Champagne Paper Corpora
tion, Boucher Cork Company, Inc., or Endless Belt Corporation.
The United States Government spend’s a large amount of money
every year to maintain wild life in the Forest, so that each and
everyone of us can enjoy the benefits of it.
You all know that only during certain periods in the year are
fishing and hunting permitted. We do not want to fish or hunt
at any time other than that appointed by the Forest Se^ice.
I know that each and everyone of our employees will help and
see to it that these regulations are not in a single^ instance vio
lated. I want everyone to be proud of the reputation whi^ our
various companies enjoy, and I know I can depend on the co
operation of all of you.
In future, anyone who is arrested for violating the law will be
suspended until he is exonerated and, if convicted, his services
will be permanently dispensed with.
Sincerely yours,
harry H. STRAUS
President.
COODWIN LECTURING
ONHUMANREUTIONS
Walt S. Goodwin, well
known lecturer and chalk talk
er is delivering a series of lec
tures on “Human Nature in
Human Relation” to the super
visory personnel of Ecusta.
Each Thursday evening ap
proximately 130 executives,
supervisors arid foremen at
tend his lectures in the assem
bly room of the office building.
Mr. Goodwin has a broad
knowledge and keen under
standing of human nature. For
more than 20 years he has lec-
ture'd on this subject to the
supervisory personnel of indus
trial plants. He is not a lecturer
in the academic sense of the
word, but is a teacher who can
drive home his points in a
unique manner. He does not
deal in theories, but gets down
to the practical 'problem that
foremen encounter daily. He
makes his audience conscious
of the elements in human na
ture that enter into the prob
lems which the foreman must
solve every day. His unique de
livery, and the humorous anec
dotes which he uses to drive
home his points, keep his audi
ence alert throughout the hour
and a half lecture.
