A Message To All Employees
OF
Ecusta, Champagne And Endless Beit
THE PEACE
One evening last week the radio announcer said«
“It is now 7:15 P. M. Eastern PEACE Time,” and then
for the first time I fully realized and appreciated that
at long last we were truly finished with the war. 1
knew then that ours was the winning score, but that
there could never be a final reckoning of our debt to
those who made the victory possible.
I thought, too, of our contribution here at Ecusta,
with gratitude in my heart for the loyal co-operation
of the fine men and women who ARE Ecusta.
My thoughts then turned to the peace-time paths
we are now privileged to take. It is an odd fact, but a
true one, that many of the people in our organization
have only known a war-time Ecusta. For this reason.
It seems likely that you might care to know something
of these peace-time paths and where they are likely
to lead us.
For one thmg, we are now free to fulfill many of
the promises with which the War Labor Board inter
fered. So, our Five-Year Club will swing into full ac
tion immediately, with a .5 per cent increase for each
of its members, retroactive to September 1, 1944, or
to the later date when he or she completed five years
of service. My word was pledged to our oldest em
ployees that this would be done, and I have hastened
to keep this promise the very moment President Tru-
man announced it was legally possible to do so.
Another change which we are making is to speed
up the One-Year 5-cent bonus. It will now be added
the top rate for each position on which it is custom
arily paid. This means you will no longer need to
wait a wmile yei^ rate to receive this bo
nus, as individuals will be eligible to qualify for it in
2 months instead of 12 months.

STUDY EXPANDED
Two Teachers Added To
Staff. To Give Instruc*
tions In The Scheoit.'
■ Plans have just been completed
for the expansion of the Children's
Music project. Two teachers have
been added to the staff of the Rec

lessons in band instruments as
well as ensemble training will be
given to those who participate.
The new plan will enable more
children of employees to study
