WHO’S WHO —BY STAFF WRITERS « AL MONTVILLE JACK RHODES MARKLEY JONES (Editor’s note: The purpose of the Who’s Who column is to acquaint our readers with as many different personalities at Ecusta as possible and each month we plan to print pictures and biographical sketches of dif ferent Ecusta employees.) AL MONTVILLE Superintendent Of The Refining Room A1 is one of the four original Refining Room foremen. He be gan working for Ecusta on July 5, 1939. He is 27 years old, lives in Brevard, is married and has two children. A1 has done a good job since he has been with us. On January 1, 1942, he was promoted to As sistant Superintendent and when Speedy Jones left to go into the armed forces this year, A1 was made Superintendent of the Re fining Room. His favorite sports are hunting and fishing and his hobby is collecting Indian relics and fossils. He is also fond of reading. JACK RHODES Foreman Of • The Refining Room Jack was first beaterman of the Ecusta pay roll. He began work with the corporation on the 21st of August, 1939. Three years and three days later Jack was made Foreman. Before going to work for Ecusta he was with the Fiske- Carter Construction company and helped with the installation of the beaters in the Refining Room. He is 26, married, and has two chil dren. He is fond of sports, especi ally fishing, and likes books. MARKLEY JONES Beaterman, Refining Room Markley has the distinction of being the second beaterman put on the Ecusta payroll. He, like Jack Rhodes, came to Ecusta with the Fiske-Carter company and helped with the installation of the machinery and equipment in the Refining Room. He has had op portunities to work in other places in Ecusta, but has always insisted he would rather work in the Re fining Room. Markley is 45 and is single. His hobby is hunting. We understand that he has quite a reputation as a hunter of wild boars, and his friends say it’s nothing unusual for Markley to catch a wild hog, tie a rope around its leg, and drive it home. TIMELY WARTIME SUGGESTIONS M direct the Strategy of this war, just as much as the generals. The way you buy and the way-you spend, the way you think and the way you act, set the way of this war. Your dollars talk loud to American industry. Make them shout for guns, not gadgets. Mean make heroes of our boys in uniform, or you can make martyrs. You can send them to battle with guns and tanks, planes and ships, or you can send tb'"’^ with bare hands to face Axis bullets. Take your pick. Here’s your choice between Don’t and Do. DON’T 5 Don’t tell tales about the war. Hitler brags that ru mors, “mental confusion, pan ic” are his weapons to divide and destroy us. False words, like venom, poison the un wary. 6 Don’t leave your work for somebody else to do, be cause it interferes with fun and frolic. Don’t figure that next week is time enough to start. Good intentions alone won’t win the war. 7 Don’t shove the whole job of your child’s thrift training on the school teach er. She’ll do her share, but what she preaches about war savings will mean more if you put her precept^ into practice at home. DO 5 Talk Bonds and Stamps to your family, friends, neighbors, and associates. Help to canvass your neigh borhood for war savings. A word for Bonds is a word against the Axis. 6 Put your shoulder to the wheel for war savings. There’s plenty to do now at War Savings Headquarters. Sign up with the Women’s Committee, and, set up a com mittee in your own pet organi zation. 7 Explain war savings to the children. Show them how to save from their allow ances to buy Stamps at school. Join the Parent-Teacher As sociation and help • put ov^r the P. T. A. program for war savings. Personal News From Hand Booklet Dept. It’s been a long time since we’ve had any news from the Hand Booklet, but we are back again this month. Here goes. If you happen to pass the tying machines you’re not seeing double. It’s just twins, Whitmire and Wil son. We have a lot of new faces in H. B. D. We are glad to welcome all of them. Mae Asheworth is on her vaca tion. Florence G. just returned from a trip to Florida. She says the swimming was fine. Eileen N. has been wearing a long face for the past two weeks. Her heart is “deep in the heart of Texas.” Rosalie seems to be allergic to a certain spot on the floor of the H. B. D. Ruth Merrel just returned from a trip to Camp Lee, Va., to visit her husband. Sarah McGee went on her vacation and came back Mrs. Herbert Cunningham. The marriage took place April 30 at Chanute Field, 111, Ruth Fisher and Pfc. Ray Frisbee were mar ried in Greenville, S. C. Bernice Lamb and Pfc. Marian Nelson were married in Chicago, 111., on April 10. Hazel McKinney spent her vacation in Florida. The service girls went on a chicken fry one night not long ago. Char lotte Johnson made a quick trip to Texas last week end to see her husband, who is stationed at Camp Reynolds. Mary Rickman paid us a visit this week. She says she likes the W.A.A.C.s and we all agree she looks swell in her uniform. Mr. and Mr. Lyon Dixon are the proud parents of a baby girl. Mrs. Dixon is the former Clara Yerton. Vennie Freeman is leaving us to be with her husband. California, here she comes! We are missing the Dockens sisters, but we know they are having a swell time va cationing in New Orleans. “C” Shift News From Bleach Plant We have quite a few boys with long, lean looks on their faces these days. Walter Clubb and Lawrence Holt, Jr., received their greetings a few days ago. In the last few months there have been quite a few of C shift going to the army or defense work; you never know who will be missing the next dav. “Skipper” Holt has hired him self a lawyer to tell him when to go to work or to stay at home on on the new 48 hour shift. Gordon Hardin is having a hard time making his mind up when to take his vacation; it seems he is never able to find out when the girl in Florida will be at home. The entire shift sends its con gratulations to the company and to Mr. Eversman for the fine en tertainment he is putting on at the cafeteria to make us forget all our troubles. Paul Mirck is looking for some one to help him repair his Ice Box—if they are good at catching escaped gas. NOTICE TO ALL DEPT. REPORTERS Deadline For June Issue Is Wed., June l€th.
