S^g^^^ximately 300 persons at-

turkey dinner and a fine
that also included two
other short talks, musical enter-
^ tainment and movies.
Baymond Bennett, general su
perintendent, presided and the
first 5-year certificate was pre
sented to Mr. T. N. Word. Mr.
Word, in turn, presented certifi
cates to those who had been with
the companies for more than five
years. The first one of these went
to Mr. Straus. The older com
panies, of course, are Champagne
and Endless. Ecusta started opera
tion on Sept. 2, 1939.
Mr. Straus’ speech is as follows;
When we celebrated togetfler
our 4th of July picnic and I had
the pleasure of talking to you, I
made the following remarks, which
I herewith repeat:
In the Fall of this year,
Ecusta will celebrate the 5th An
niversary of the starting of our
first paper machine. Today all
of us, men and women of Ecusta,
can be proud of our accomplish
ment.
Later in the year we will have
an Ecusta celebration. We will
inaugurate the “Five-Year Club”
of which all of you, who have
been “Ecustans” for five years,
will be charter members and to
which club, year after year, new
recruits will become eligible.
We visualize the “10-Year
Club”, “15-Year Club”, “25-Year
Club” and I hope that many of
you here today will become pro
gressively members of it.”
We are assembled here tonight
to give birth to the 5-Year Serv
ice Club of loyal Ecusta, Cham
pagne and Endless employees. Ev
erybody who has seired contin
uously with each one of these com
panies for five years automatically
becomes a member of this club.
While the club is only formed
as of today, the benefits of the
club, to which I shall refer later
on, will start with the anniversary
date, namely, Sept. 2nd, 1944.
About 325 men and women—
most of them present here tonight
—are charter members of this
club.
Now let me tell you something
of the idea in back of it.
We are young organzations, we
are just about five years old.
When we started in 1939 to build
up our staff of employees, it was
even then my plan and intention,
as soon as we finished a period of
five years of harmonious and
friendly cooperation—^which re
sulted in making Ecusta, Cham
pagne and Endless the success
each of them has turned out to
be—that we join together in a
club which would have as its un
derlying motive the building up of
close friendship between all of us.
At our meetings which shall
take place at stated intervals, we
shall have a good time together,
learn to know each- other better
and discuss our problems, such as
they confront us, and try to find
a happy solution to them.
We must at such meetings free-
