Can Purchase Policies For
Family Or Additional
Amounts For Self
Hospital, surgical and life in
surance policies are given free to
the employees of Ecusta, Cham
pagne and Endless Belt. These
policies are well known, having
been in effect for several years.
We wonder if all employees rea
lize, however? that as a part of
these three plans it is possible to
extend benefits to their family
members at a small cost.
Each employee’s privilege of
purchasing liberal and inexpensive
hospital and surgical insurance on
his family members, and of buying
additional life insurance on his
own life, is an important part of
our insurance program. It is felt
that all of us need this extra in
surance, and that each plan gives
us an excellent chance to increase
the protection which we owe to
ourselves and to our families.
The company provides employee
policies which are more liberal
than the standard policies usually
issued. For this reason, the Hos
pital Saving Association gives each
employee the privilege of taking
out for his family, regardless of
the size of the family, hospital and
surgical policies carrying the same

Sixty Children Are
Enrolled In Music
Classes At Ecusta
Ecusta’s Children’s Music Pro
ject got off to a good start the
week of October 16th with classes
being held on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons and
with approximately 60 children of
employees attending these classes.
This course of musical training is
offered to interested children of
Ecusta employees without charge
and is under the sponsorship of
the Recreational department.
A survey was made during the
later months of the summer and
at that time approximately 60
children made application for the
course. On the basis of this survey,
the project was set up to accom
modate this number. Since the
opening of the course of training,
however, many more applications
have been received. These new ap
plications will be kept on file and
as soon as there is an opening they
will be entered.
Only children of employees who
are over 12 years of age are eli-
At the present time a pre
liminary course is being taught in
theory, music appreciation, singing
and the use and care of instru
ments. Later on individual instruc
tion will be given to each child
in the instrument of his or her
choice. Assisting John Eversman
in teaching are Mary Glass, Mar
garet Spiro and Donald Lee Moore.
