TO THE WEAVERS
Early in the morning
It ain’t so hard to say,
“I feel so good and saucy
ril work a lot today”.
At eight I start the ole machine
Let's call it “Lizzie”.
I thought it wouldn't be so hard,
But my! We both were busy.
I had such good intentions.
To do so terribly bad
But there’s always some excuse,
The awful thread I had.
And that same one, we like to
use
When production gets too ruff,
“It must have been the warp
er’s fault!
We didn’t have enuff.”
Today when I was working.
Guess what happened to me?
It seemed I had a hundred belts
But only forty-three.
Every time I turned around
It must a’ took a minute
To get the thread all straight
ened out
And ready to begin it.
You know that little paper.
That goes from hand to hand.
And whether you’ve done good
or bad,
It shows just where you stand.
But listen, girls! Let’s do our
best,
And make a lot of effort.
For when we do a heap o’ work
It pleases Mr. Goepfert.
—Exie Hollifield.

EXPERT SAYS LAZY
WIFE MAY COST
HUSBAND LIFE
Throughout our whole life it
is not the actual hardships and
misfortunes of our existence
which most afflict us. It is our
cowardly fears, our causeless
depression, our anxiety as to a
future of which we know little
or nothing. If we could dismiss
these base elements of our
minds and concentrate our at
tention on our actual problems,
we should soon solve them, we
should deliver ourselves from
about nine-tenths of our suffer
ing on earth, and the rest
should cheerfully endure.
—Elwood Worcester.
What kind of community
would this be if they were all
like me?
Wives can help the defense
program by getting their hus-
3ands breakfasts and being
generally sympathetic, a safe-
y expert declared today.
Home conditions were re
sponsible for many industrial
accidents that cost the defense
program 41,912,000 man days
of work last year, W. T. Cam
eron, safety advisor to the U.
S. Labor Department, told the
Ohio State Safety conference.
“Sometimes a man got care
less because his wife got up too
late to give him breakfast,”
Cameron said. “Many accidents
were caused by lack of sleep,
hangovers, intoxication, do
mestic quarrels, and financial
worries directly due to home
conditions.
“In times like these there is
more money around, more
drinking and night clubbing,
which in turn leads to a care
less an reckless feeling which
causes accidents.
“It is up to women to be as
sympathetic and as good an in
fluence on their husbands now
as possible.”
Cameron said 18,000 per
sons were killed and 89,600
permanently injured in indus
trial accidents last year, “when
the defense program couldn’t
afford to lose a single man.”
Charles Lamb wrote: “The
greatest pleasure I know is to
do a good action by stealth and
have it found out by accident.”
ECUSTA LIBRARY
lOFUNCnONSOON
. The Recreation Department
IS pleased to announce the
establishment of an Ecusta Li
brary to be housed in the Rec
reation Department in the Of
fice Building. No rents or fees
are connected with our loan
plan. Just come in and pick out
your choice in reading ma
terial, take it home for your
own and your families’ reading
pleasure and return it to us in
twjo weeks. Magazines may be
taken out over the noon hour
^ u you decide to spend
a half hour or so in our library
you will find tables and chairs
placed there for your use.
Every Ecusta employee is en
titled to this service which we
hope to open sometime in the
next month.
But selecting books to satisy
your tastes in literature is an
other thing. The Recreation De
partment isn’t at all certain
that its selection will be to your
iking so we have taken care of
this situation, we hope, to the
satisfaction of every employee.
Unless someone pops up with a
better suggestion, the plans are
as follows:
Book lists will be posted
from time to time and employ
ees may indicate their selec
tions through checking those
particular books they wish pur
chased for the library.
Should employees desire
reading material not posted,
such selections must be listed
and turned in at the Recreation
Onice or dropped in a box
which will be placed in the
cafeteria for that purpose.
If you have books that you
would like to donate to the li-
brary for use by others at Ecus
ta, your generosity will be deep
ly appreciated.
Although we won’t be ready
to place books at your disposal
for a few weeks, we do want
your selections to form our
initial library so get out your
0.
