Coal Strike May Hit Ecusta, Fuel

ply Here
As a result of the present dif
ficulties in the coal fields, the
Ecusta Paper Corporation is
anxiously awaiting word as to
icals arrive by rail. Any intex-
ruption of rail transportation
resulting from the strike of the
Lewis-A. F. of L. coal miners
would in turn deprive Ecusta of
these essential ingredients,
thereby seriously hampering pro
duction.
The Children’s Christmas par
ties will be held in the Cafeteria
again this year. The date set for
the parties is Saturday afternoon,
December 21st. and children of all
employees of the companies are
cordially invited to attend.
As has been the custom in the
past, the Superintendents and
Foremen in the various depart
ments will distribute tickets to
the employees for their children.
Since there are too many children
to be accommodated at one time,
the practice of having several par
ties during the afternoon will be
followed again this year. Tickets
will be distributed several days
before the parties and each ticket
will have the time marked on it so
that each employee will know ex
actly when to bring his children.
The shift buses will be used and '
the schedule will - be posted on
each bus.
Santa Claus and his helpers will
be there and will, as usual, have a
Christmas present for each child.
There will also be a showing of
children’s movies.

of its plant.
While the company has an ade
quate supply of coal on hand for
all necessary purposes other than
electricity, a substantial portion
of this power is purchased from
the Duke Power company. Thus,
continued operations at Ecusta
depend largely on how long the
coal pile of the Duke Power
Company will permit it to pro
vide Ecusta with unmterrupted
power.
Another source of concern to
Ecusta is the possible Interfer-

For many Ecustans, as well as
for many other industrial workers

Those who worked in the plant
here, however, enjoyed a delicious
turkey dinner served in the Cafe-
teiia without cost to them.
Other Ecustans celebrated the
Turkey day by attending church
services, family reunions, hunUng
and seeing the high school footbal
