Hank Newbury, safety director,
attended two important meatings
recently, one at Raleigh and
another at Savannah.
On Friday, April 18, he was
in Raleigh attending a one-day
meeting of the Advisory Board
for Conservation of Manpower in
North Carolina Industry of which
he is a member. This conference
was for the purpose of co-ordinat
ing safety work in the state and
wais attended by 30 safety direc
tors from all over the state in ad
dition to 20 inspectors from the
N. C. Department of Labor.
The annual meeting of the South
ern Pulp and Paper Safety Associ
ation met April 21 and 22 with the
host company. Union Bag and Pa
per Corporation, Savannah, Ga.
This conference was attended by
safety representatives from 36 pulp
and paper industries in 12 southern
states. The association held its an
nual meeting here at Ecusta last
July.
NOT PERMANENT

place where fishing was so good?”
Another Guy: “Yes, I put an X

First Guy: “That’s silly! What if
we should get another boat?”
I Two recent additions to the at-
; tractive trophy case at Champagne
I make a total of sixteen awards the
‘ athletes of that company have won
; since 1940. Swelling the total to its
; present record collection was the
first place trophy the Champagne
Cardinals won in the Inter-depart
mental Bowling League this sea
son and the third place cup which
j the Champagne “B” team won in
: the same league.
The display is a varied one—
with trophies of all sizes, designs,
and materials. It’s easy to spot the
' trophies won during the war—
I wood is the predominating mate-
1 rial, with an absolute minimum of
; metal.
i The oldest award is the second
; place trophy the Champagne Ten-
I Pin team won during the 1940-41
; season. In the summer of 1941 the
baseball team won the champion
ship of the Inter-departmental
league and repeated in 1942. The
collection began to grow.
Girls Contribute, Too
The girls made their first contri
bution to the display during the
194142 bowling season, capturing
first place in the Women’s Duck
Pin League. This team represent
ing Hand Booklet. The men also
came through that year to win the
Duck Pin league and also the Ten-
Pin loop.
In 1942-43, the Champagne Am
ateurs, a girls’ duckpin team, raced
in with honors in their league
while the Stars did the trick the
following season. That same 1943-
44 season the men added a third-
place trophy to the case.
As more awards flowed in, the
space became tighter. Two were
added during the 1944-45 bowling
season when the girls won the
duckpin league and the men placed
second in their competition. The
1945-46 bowling season found the
Stars and Alachine Booklet plac
ing first and second respectively,
an accomplishment that meant two
more trophies.
Then the two 1947 awards filled
up the case. If the athletic ability
of members of the Champagne or
ganization continues—and there’s
no sign of its weakening—it’s go
ing to take a bigger case to display
the coveted and well earned
awards.
Bowling Banquet

The hard-earned trophies in the Champagne trophy case had to be re-arranged a bit recently to
make room for two more beautiful cups. The Champagne Cardinals won the Inter-departm*ntal Bowl
ing League while the Champagne “B” team took third place honors behind the CoBtrol club. The em
ployees whose names appear on the various trophicis havei every reason to be proud of such a fine
display of athletic honors.
