PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
TO ALL EMPLOYEES
Believing that our employees would like to have an oppor
tunity to help our Government in its Defense Program, and by
so doing, set aside a certain portion of their earnings as a sav
ings account, our Company has decided upon a plan of volun
tary systematic savings available to all employees who care to
participate.
Your money, in addition to providing a sound investment
guaranteed by our Government, will be put to work at once m
the National Defense Program to protect the safety and the
freedom of the United States of America.
The Plan is a simple one, whereby the Company will buy for
each employee who so desires. United States Defense Savings
Bonds, Series E, $25.00 denominations, as rapidly as his or her
savings accumulate through monthly deductions from his or her
earnings. Participation in the Plan will be wholly voluntary.
A further description of the Plan and Bonds will be distri
buted to you in the form of a bulletin in the near future, as well
as cards upon which you may indicate your desire to participate
in the Plan, before it is put into effect.
I hope that all of you will wholeheartedly take advantage^ of
the wonderful opportunity to help our Government by making
such a sound investment. Let all of US( put our shoulders to the
wheel and push Ecusta “over the top”.
1 thank you.
HARRY H. STRAUS.
Yard Crew, Pulp Mill
Tied For First Place
The weather man became a
little more lenient during the
month of August, allowing
most of the scheduled Inter-
Department baseball games to
be run-off in order.
The League standings took
on a decided change when the
Inspection Department ^ came
up with their ace pitcher,
Grover Suttles. His record now
stands 3 wins and no losses.
However, on the Inspection s
last appearance, the Pulp Mill
team gave them a terrific
trouncing.
The play-offs will start Sep
tember 15th between the two
top teams. At the present read
ing, there is very little differ
ence between the first four
clubs. During the next two
weeks there should be plenty
of action for everybody.
The following is the stand
ing as of August 28th:
Department Won Lost
Yard crew 4 1
Pulp Mill 4 1
Champagne 3 1
Inspection 3 1
Maintenance — 1 2
Power 1 2

NEW DUTIES CALL
CLAYTON
Walter Clayton, E'custa’s
third baseman, left for his new
school duties August 26th. In
his new work at the Burlington
Senior High he will serve as
Head Baseball Coach, Varsity
Backfield Coach, and Assistant

able job on third base. During

Lots of luck, Walter. Ecusta

MISS WILLIAMS
ASSUMES DUTIES
Miss Justine Williams as
sumed her new duties as Cafe
teria Hostess and Girls’ Ath
letic Director on September 1.
Miss Williams comes to us
with a background well fitted
for work designed for her at
Ecusta. She is a graduate of the
University of Minnesota where
she majored in Recreational
Supervision and minored in
Music and Physical Education.
While attending St. Olaf Col
lege in Northfield, Minnesota,
it was her privilege to sing with
the famous St. Olaf Choir un
der the direction of F. Melius
Christiansen, and while attend
ing the University of Minnesota

University Symphony Orches
tra.
During the summer months
Miss Williams gained helpful
experience in girls’ summer
camps, and for the past two
summers she has been counsel
or at Rockbrook Camp for girls
which is located near Brevard.
Her work at this camp enabled
her to become acquainted with
people in this section and with
this wonderful experience
there is no doubt that she will
fit in perfectly at Ecusta.
IMPORTANT DATE
An important date to re
member is that of June 5, 1941.
On this day the first grandchild
of our president, Harry H.
Straus, was born. The grand
child’s name is Thomas Roger

spent in Florida. We extend our
very best wishes to the bride an-
