Be’t enjoyed a picnic lunch on the sun porch of the Converter Buildins' hon-
ordns' Miss Margarett Marrett, who is retirins' from the employ of the com
pany.
The table was attractively decorated with autumn leaves and a sump
tuous lunch consisting' of sandwiches, cookies, hot coffee and fruilts was served
in the old fashioned finger picnic style. Miss Marrett, one of the oldest em
ployees of the company, leavts her work to return to New York to make her
home.
During- the lunch hour Miss Marrett received nice gifts from the girls
in Endless and from the company. Out of department guests for the oc
casion were Messrs. Peter Eberle and Walter Straus.
Two Employees Now
Serving In Navy
Two of Ecusta’s employees
have recently left voluntarily
for service in the U. S. Mavy.
Mr. David Pickier, Chlorinator
Operator is on duty in the
Panama Canal Zone. He writes
that he is having a “wonderful
time.’'
Mr. J. Edgar Allen, Beater-
man, is now at the U. S. Naval
Training Station at Norfolk.
He, too, has written, but didn’t
say what kind of a time he was
having. Baseball fans will re
member that Allen was a mem
ber of the baseball team. We
hope the boys will enjoy the
period of their enlistment and
will not be away too long.
Band To Be Organized
A number of employees play
band instruments and it has
been suggested that an Ecusta
band be organized. Some have
shown a great deal of enthus-
iaiT-Ti in the matter, and an at
tempt will be made to see what
can be done about it. Every
employee who can play, or
would like to learn to play a
wind instrument, is reQuested
to contact Mr. Frank Kerber
of the Champagne Printing De
partment. If Frank can’t be
located, then the musician
should leave his name at the
Personnel Office. This should
be done immediately so that it
jnay be determined whether
[there is sufficient interest.
OYER 500 WORKERS
RECISTER FOR DRAFF
Approximately 550 Ecusta
employees between the ages of
21 and 36 have registered for
selective military srvice. Of
this number approximately 220
are single and 330 are married.
It is estimated that approxi
mately 500 of the employees
registered in Transylvania
County, while about 50 regis
tered in the adjoining counties
of Henderson and Buncombe.
The first quota for Transyl-
vania County is 78 men. It is
of course impossible to deter
mine how many of these men
will be from Ecusta until the
questionnaires have been re
turned and the registrant
classified by the Local Draft
Board.
Questionnaires are being
mailed out to registrants at the
rate of about 50 p6r day. These
questionnaires must be filleci
out and returned to the Draft
Board within five days.
The first questionnaire to be
filled out and returned to the

INSURANCE POLICIES
PROVE BENEFICIAL
The insurance plans which
the company gives to its em
ployees have proved highly
beneficial in many cases. As
the employees know the com
pany is vitally interested in
their welfare as the insurance
plan is one of the many pro
visions that have been made
to provide security when mis
fortune comes along. Insur
ance is probably not appreciat
ed as much as it should be by
many people. It is intangible
and many do not realize its
value until this value is dem
onstrated by some catastrophe
or misfortune. Then there is a
realization that it means some
thing and is worth something
after all, that some measure of
security is provided in the
event something should hap
pen.
The value of this insurance
