Your Problems And Your Company
We are all having our problems and our troubles
durmg these unusual times of war and manpower
shortage. The best way for all of us to solve these
problems and troubles is to talk them over and see
if we can t help each other.
^ business of making paper.
Any troubles and problems that you have or that I
have are problems of both of us. Troubles, problems
and misunderstandings are not any part of our way
of inaking paper. ^ In fact, I was always taught that
the two priority items in paper making are: first,
plenty of clean, fresh water; and second, a solid
group of interested, satisfied folks who know how to
make paper. If our water supply started to get mud
died up and doubled, you wouldn’t hesitate to tell
me about it the minute you discovered it; and the
result would be that we would get to work and clear
It up right away. Otherwise, we would start making
some of the worst paper in the world instead of the
best.
Now, a muddied, troubled worker makes a paper
company a lot unhappier, even than bad water does.
Inat s because people are ever so much more impor-
tant than water. So, Vm going to start the ball rolling
right telling you about one of my problems in the
hope that you will return the compliment and tell me
about some of yours. That's the only way to filter
out the particles of mud that sometime get into the
stream of human relations.
bothers me mostly these days is that
let me know often enough about what
fpr before, people, like wa-
for1+ i Iliuddied up and troubled. Maybe the
reason for it in some cases is that one of us “bosses”
has Kiade a mistake. That has- happened before and
It will happen again, just so long as the good Lord
makes human beings the way they are. The main
point, I am sure you will agree, is that none of us
will worry too much about the mistakes if they are
corrected fairly and promptly and if they are pre
vented from repeating themselves.
crpf !+correcting a mistake is to
whn people in the world
tpllpy ® because I am not a fortune
and there are no crystal balls on my desk. So,
about something, or the water
somewh^e, let me know about it. Call me on the tele-
phone. Or come to see me at my office. Do any of
these things either during or after working hours. In
other words, do it your own way, but do it!
forot?thin^g: We have Suggestion Boxes at dif-
?• the plant. I want you to make written
suggestions and put them in these boxes. Let me know
y^ur criticisms and suggestions for improvement in
the department in which you work. Also tell me how
you would remedy anything that is wrong.
Sign your name, if you wish, or leave it blank
These written suggestions will be taken up by me

I Wood Pulp Is Very Scarce,
And Ecusta Paper Helps
In This Respect.
Ecustans normally plug along in
their day-to-day duties with the
knowledge that they are in some
way contributing 'to the war ef
fort. We see pictures of flyers re
turning from long, hazardous
bombing trips and the first thing
they do is to relax with a cigarette.
We read how the wounded ask
for a cigarette while waiting for
treatment. The man in the foxhole
takes care of his cigarettes as care
fully as he does his ammflinition.
Letters from our own overseas
employees tell us how important
I cigarettes are to them.
Many of us, however, do not
realize how much we really are in
war work, making products which
have such an essential part in the
war. It is said by the tobacco com
panies that approximately 50 per
cent of their cigarette production
is now going to the armed services.
This fact may result in our having
