We are proud of this, because it is a compliment to each and every employee. You who work in the mill de serve all the credit for this enviable reputation, and, in turn, it is you and only you, who can maintain this rep utation. This is a bigger job today than ever before and it is a job which can only be accomplished through the con tinued co-operation of each of you. It is a bigger job to day because of several reasons. First of all, there is the new construction work which is going on all around us, and which creates a lot of dust and dirt. Second, our mill is not as young as it used to be, and as the years roll by, dirt has a chance to accumulate. Third, summer is approaching, and with it, the advent of hot weather. With open windows, and with the temptation to leave doors open, the hazards of dust, dirt and insects will increase. Here at Ecusta, where a pure white product is made for human consumption, cleanliness is as important as it is in the modern dairy supplying your milk. It is a ma jor factor in our long and exacting list of quality stand ards. Our customers, the cigarette makers, and in turn, the cigarette smokers, take the purity of our paper for granted. We who make the paper have no choice but to concentrate constantly on maintaining, and even improv ing, our goal of absolute purity. Cleanliness should^ be an obsession with every person in our whole organiza tion. Bach, of us has a personal stake in the delivery of a pure white spotless product. Here’s a list of things to remember: 1. Pick up and dispose of any dirt you find in the mill, regardless of where you see it. 2. In handling broke, keep it clean. Throw out any dirty pieces. 3. Keep all stpck cle»n. keep it off the floors, and —Turn To Page Thirteen Camp To Have Canteen. Full Program Of Recre ation Is Planned There has been a lot of excite ment and activity centered around Camp Sapphire lately, so your re porter made a little visit there the other day and discovered some of the reasons for this activity. Our beautiful Camp Sapphire is undergoing a reconditioning pro gram in preparation for the com ing summer season. This recondi tioning program covers just about everything, too. For instance: a thorough house-cleaning job has just been completed at Lake Sap phire. Several weeks ago the water level was lowered so that a large quantity of mud, which had ac cumulated on the bottom of the swimming area, could be re moved. At the same time the bot tom of the swimming area was cov ered with a heavy coating of Co lumbia white sand. The banks around the swimming area have been rocked and sodded, docks «nd boardwalks have been repaired, new diving boards have been or dered and all will be ready for use this season. Orders have been placed for new boats. —Turn To Page Eight Bowling Banquet To Be Held Sat. Night The fifth annual Ecusta bowl ing banquet will take place Satur day at Camp Sapphire at 6:00 p. m. Approximately one hundred and twenty invitations have gone out to those employees who bowled at least oiTe game in Inter departmental Leagues. The party will be something of a change from previous banquets. This is the first time that the bowling captains have ventured outside the Cafeteria for the oc casion, an^ from all indications the banquet and party should be a huge success. Following a barbecued chicken dinner, the 1946 bowling trophies will be awarded. Other program features will be the introduction of prominent guests who will pre sent short talks. The Reverend Ashby Johnson, of the local Pres byterian church, will be our guest speaker. Upon completion of the banquet, a “Tacky” square dance with mu sic furnished by the Ecusta String band will be staged in the Sap* phire gymnasiunj,
