Not only will you derive direct benefit from your Victory Garden in the form of fresher and more nutritious vegetables, but you will also find your garden a source of real pleasure AND YOU WILL BE MAKING A REAL CONTRIBU TION TO THE WAR EFFORT. Most of our Ecusta Victory Gar deners have their own garden plots and last year over a thou sand of these gardens were culti vated; however, for those who do not have their own space or for those who wish to have additional land for planting it has been the custom of the Company during the past two years to make available to these employees, FREE OF CHARGE, approximately fifty acres of excellent fertile farm land immediately adjoining the plant. Last year was a particularly good season for gardcYiihg and most of the Ecusta Victory Gar dens yielded good crops. Likewise the weather was such that it was possible to take good care of these gardens which made it much easier to keep weeds under control. Be- given the remaining $5,100.00) which amount is approximately half of the county quota. The outstanding success of the 194V Red Cross drive in Transyl vania county and within our own gates is in keeping with our tra dition of over-subscribing all war time quotas which are assigned to us. This will probably be the nMSt active, the most vital, the most expensive year in all Red Cross history. Each of you is to be con gratulated on such generous con tributions toward the comfort and happiness of our armed forces abroad and the relief of suffering at home. A certificate of appreciation has been received, thanking the em ployees for their generous support of the 1945 Red Cross War fund. This certificate was presented by the National headquarters of the American Red Cross. STANDING MEN’S TEN Campagne Machine Room Control Office Maintenance Refining Room Pulp Mill PIN LEAGUE: W L Pet.
