SAFETY MEETING AT
SWANNANOA
The regular meeting of the
Western North Carolina Safe
ty Council was held at the
high school in Swannanoa on
Tuesday night, May 13th.
Mr. A. J. Magnant, Superin
tendent of Beacon Manufac
turing Company, and Mr. Carl
Barefoot, of the State High
way Safety Division, gave very
interesting talks on the import
ance of accident prevention
work, not only in the mills_ but
on the highways and in the
homes. They especially stress
ed the need of cooperation of
all workers in reporting haz-
ardis to safety and the dire
need' of cultivating safe prac
tice habits on and off of the
job.
It was pointed out that in-
idustries in this state are losing
many more workers due to traf
fic accidents than to occupation
al accidents, and that during
the first four months of this
year 354 persons had been kill
ed on the highways in our
state.
It is the responsibility of
every operator of a motor ve
hicle to do his or her part to
wards helping to eliminate
these very unnecessary traffic
accidlents.
Those in attendance at the
above meeting from Ecusta and
Champagne were as follows:
Messrs. A. K. Pooser, Roland
Wilber, Robert Kappers, E. T.
Poss, Walter Straus, E. L.
Happ, E. S. Morrow, John
Goolsby, Ray Cooke, Jr.^ and
H. E. Newbury.
No Hospitalization
Premiums In June
No deductions will be made
for family hospilitalization
m'emjberships for tne month ot
June. Accordmg to an an
nouncement by the Hospital
Saving Association, hospitali
zation for the dependents of
Ecusta employees has been be
low the average, and a recess
for premiums will be granted
for the month of June. This is
in keeping with the policy of
the association.
The hospitalization certifi
cate will continue in force even
though no premiums are paid
for the month of June. Deduc
tions for premiums will be re
sumed in July and be continued
until a sufficient reserve is ac
cumulated to justify another
recess.
As our employees know,
each employee is given free
membership certificate in the
Hospitalization Saving Associa
tion when he goes to work
with the Company. In addition
to this he is allowed to bring
the dependent members of his
family under the same plan by
paying a small amount each
month. On account of the
group enrollment plan by
which the association receives
members, the privilege of en
rolling families is granted only
once every six months. The
next enrollment period will be
in July, and all who have no
yet enrolled their families wil
be given an opportunity to do
so at that time.
OUR FLAG
May the red that’s in that flag of ours
Never run with the blood of man
May the white stripes always be that pure
And wave for the freest clan.
May the blue field never have to be
Without a single star
For it’s perfect as it is today,
Without a fault or scar.
But we Americans must fight
If we’re to ever be
Of the flag of the brave and free.
As proud as in the past we’ve been
We’ve got to prove the hardest way
The place called the U. S. A.
Is made of people just as great
As any on earth today.
