Job Instruction
Courses Are Most
Successful Here
The job instructor training
course, a war-time program of
job training, developed by the
war manpower commission and
started at Ecusta July 31st, has
been proving successful. It has
been given to 150 people during
four weeks. All superintendents,
foremen, assistant foremen, and
others who have the responsibili
ty of instructing employees are
eligible and are taking the course.
This training will continue for
at least 3 weeks, possibly longer;
about 75 more people are expect
ed to attend.
Those who have finished the
course feel it is accomplishing its
purpose which is to cut down
‘breaking-in’ time of new men and
of experienced men on new jobs,
of cutting down scrap and acci
dents.
The program is divided into
three courses: job instruction, job
methods and job relations. These
classes are limited to 10 employees,
each course lasting ten hours. A
total of 30 are given instruction
each week.
HELEN KIMSEY
We proudly introduce Helen,
one of our Ecusta Band’s faithful
clarinetists, as possessing merit in
musical accomplishment and as
piration. She has been playing the
clarinet with the band since March
of 1943 and has recently started
playing saxaphone.
She was born in Mills River and
graduated from high school there
in 1936, and Cecil’s Business col
lege in 1938. Again prominent in
Ecusta’s musical activities, she is
member of the chorus and
girls’ sextette. Helen is head
clerk in the Pulp Mill office, where
she has been employed for more
than two years. Music, as you
might have guessed, is her main
interest.
EMPLOYEE PARTIES
-From Page Nine-
Tearful: “Let me kiss those tears
avi^ay, sweetheart,” he begged ten
derly. She fell into his arms.
“Can nothing stop them?” he
asked breathlessly.
“No,” she murmered, “it’s hay
fever; but do go on with the treat
ment”
month in Asheville.
Recreation Goal
The Recreation Department is
anxious for every one at Ecusta
to have a good time and welcomes
suggestions. “When bigger and bet
ter shows or entertainments are
staged, let’s put them on,” the.
director says.
It’s really fun to work and play
together. Let’s do more of it, re
membering that “all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy and
makes Sally grow old too soon.”
When a large family like Ecus
tans work together and play to
gether, doesn’t it make for real
success and rQal happiness for
everyone? Of course it does, and
that’s what makes the Recreation
Department happy too!
As an entertainment and recrea
tional center, as well as an eating
place, this column salutes the
Cafeteria Building!
J. (JOHN) L, TINSLEY was
one of the first employees in the
canteen where he began working
as a helper on August 7 th, 1941.
He is now the canteen super
visor. J. L. was born in Brevard
where he also attended school.
He is marrie,d and has two sons,
is conscientious in his work and
is popular with the employee-
public which he serves.
To Start Basketball
Practice Real Soon
Much interest is being shown
by both men and women in the
coming baseketball season. During
the past season the two teams got
off to a late start, but considering
the short time they had to practice
and the lack of playing experience
the teams made an excellent show
ing.
The plan this season is to get
basketball practice started early so
our teams will be ready in time
to play a full schedule of games.
Every one who is interested in
playing basketball is urged to get
in touch with the Recreation de
partment. It is hoped that enough
players will come out from the
many different departments so
that inter-departmental leagues can
be set up in addition to having
both a men’s all-star Ecusta team
and a girl’s all-star Ecusta team.
Arrangements are being made
to use the Brevard College gym
again this season and as soon as
the weather is cool enough, early
fall practice will begin.
