MRS. LELA M. BAUMGARDNER, weaver for the Endless Belt
Corporation, is shown above receiving the first check issued un
der the new health and accidcnt plan announced for the three com
panies at the annual Christmas party. Presenting her the check is
E. B. Garrett, Jr., Director of Personnel.
The last day Mrs. Baumgardner worked was January 7 and she
underwent an appendectomy at the Transylvania Community Hospi
tal on January 9. She returned to work February 10 and received
her check the next day.
In order that claims may be processed quickly and that there
be no delay in receiving checks, the following information which
appeared ijti the original announcement is again emphasized.
If you become ill or suffer an accident and it seems likely that
your disability will extend beyond seven days, you should secure
the proper form from the Personnel Department at once. If you
are unable to come personally, a friend or relative can pick up the
form for you, or it can be mailed to you.

scolded him saying, “Shame on
you, papa hog, for making such a
human being out of yourself in
Iront of the babies.”
During this last election I over
heard a voter tell a candidate:
“I would not vote for you if
you were St. Peter.”
The candidate cool and calm
(name withheld) without hesita
tion said, “You couldn’t my good
friend, you certainly would not be
n my district.”
ECUSTA
At the foot of the Blue Ridge moun
tains
Is a valley so cool and green.
Stands a large cigarette paper
plant
That answers our boss’ dream.
Giant mountains that face it
l^epeat “freedom from want”
that’s true.
Blue hills, clear waters abound
there.
Echoing faith and security, too.
No other place where the moon
shines
With that golden harvest bright.
Where the air seems to be purer.
Where troubles and cares seem so
light.
Here you find close-woven friend
ships
That are sincere, warm and true;
This beautiful plant is Ecusta,
That means much to me and to
you.
—John Goolsby.

For Men Only
When nature contrived man she
probably didn't envision the agt
of streetcars, elevators, and soft-
cushioned rockers. And she proba
bly didn’t have the wildest idea
about low-priced automobiles run
ning on cheap fuel.
So, poor old mother nature
would get quite a shock out of the
American man of today. A quick
ride to work, with no use of the
!eg muscles, eight hours on a shift
and then another ride home to the
easy chair. Maybe after dinner
comes the wifely command, or de
mand for the movies. So it’s hop
into the jalopy to the movies for
a couple of hours on leather uphol-
sterj'.
Now just where dnos that leave
us in the eyes of T'.ature? Pretty
soft, brother, pretty soft. Not only
do we not use the muscles the old
.gal gave us, but we don’t even get
15 minutes of really fresh air each
:lay.
And if you think maybe that
isn’t important, take a look at the
average son or daughter of the
American society. Maybe they’re
in college. So they go from one
class to the other—sitting down
At ages of 17 on up, they can’t
maintain their own bodies for an
hour without support.
All this adds up to just one
thing. Sure maybe we work hard
and long, but a five minute walk
once a day in the fresh air sure
would help. Or, if you really want
to po to extremes, 15 minutes of
nightly calisthenics in a room with
on open widow misht help to start
the btnod circulating.
Then mayoe Dame nature might
not 'Tive you that queer look when
she surveys the situation. Yes, she
mipht even recognize you a
healthy, natural animal,'
CONGRESS ALLOWS
MORE TIME TO VETS
Ex-Service Men May Rein*
state Life Insurance
Until Aug. 1
As an inducement to veterans to
reinstate their National Service
Life Insurance, congress has re
cently extended the time for re-
.'nstatement from February 1, 1947,
until August 1, 1947, Veterans
coni'iccted with our companies are
jsked to note this extension and
if they plan to reinstate their
policy, the Personnel Department
,vi!l be glad to offer assistance,
N. S, L. I. offers a maximum of
benefits at a minmum cost to the
veteran. The policy is designed
solely for veterans and offers se
curity supported by the United
States government.
Red Tape Cut
The new amendments to the bill
have cut much of the red tape and
make for clearer understanding.
The policy now provides for lump
jum or cash settlement to the
•oeneficiary, has no restriction on
he naming of the beneficiary, of
fers six different permanent stand
ard plans and provides for dis
ability coverage not granted by
■-'ommercial companies. The rein
statement privileges are liberal and
simple. Two monthly premiums
must be paid «nd a statement pro
vided to the effect that the health
of the veteran is as good as when
he policy lapsed.
The six standard policies open
‘0 the choice of the veteran are:
Ordinary Life, 30-pay Life, 20-pay
Life, 20-year endowment, endow
ment at age 60 and endowment at
■ige 65. The Personnel Department
has recently received conversion
charts on each of these six plans
and will be happy to assist any vet
erans who are interested in any
of them.
