from the Brunswick Pulp and
Paper company of Brunswick,
Ga. He was one of the first forer
men in the Pulp MiU. Later in
1940, the Pulp Mill Department
had grown to such an extent
that it was necessary to divide
it into different departments
and at that timei “Slim” was
made a Bleachroom foreman,
which classification he still
holds. Slim lives in Brevard, is
married and has one child, a
two-year-old son. Just about all
of us here at Ecusta know “Slim”
we think he is a good sport,
too; remember the April party
—the baby carriage—the baby,
etc?
All except two U. S. cities of
100,000 population and over have
community chests.
Ration points do not have to be
given for long tongue of -beef,
brains and kidneys. These meat
items are relatively low in cost,
and high in food value and flavor!

in January of 1943. She was
transferred to the Mill Office in
April of 1943, where she is a
clerk. Margaret’s home, is in Hen
