LUMBERMEN
Sherman Ducker and Odell Shook of
the Machine Room plan to realize a great
saving on the houses they plan to build
sometime in the future. Here they are
shown with the logs they had cut near
the old Turkey Creek Church. They
have an estimated 25,000 feet of lumber,
much of it very high quality.
FINISHING BITS
By Betty Ann Orr
Everyone who attended the Fourth of July
picnic reports a very nice time and we want to
thank the company for the nice event.
Margaret Bryson can really keep a secret. She
came to work the other day and informed us that
she had been married for five months. She became
Mrs. Acie Waldrop on February 8. Jackie McCall

aker. Congratulations and the best of luck to both
of you!

tured her knee; we wish her a speedy recovery.
Mrs. Mildred Allison Clark, one of our former
employees, toured the plant the other day and we
were all very glad to see her again. She is now
making her home in Florida.

of a ship, because the steering oar on Norse and
medieval vessels was placed on that side near the
stern, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

NAT TOWNSEND HAS COPY OF
PAPER RECORDING WASHINGTON'S
DEATH
Nat Townsend of the Electric Shop has a copy
of the Ulster County Gazette dated January 4,
1800, in which the death of George Washington
is recorded. The paper was published at Kingston,
but the state is not mentioned. Presumably it was
published in Pensylvania or some Northern state.
Most of the paper is devoted to the death of the
first president and the columns are divided with
heavy, black rules almost one-quarter of an inch
wide.
The Want Ads of that day reveal that family
troubles were prevalent. Under the heading,
Second Notice,” a man had this ad inserted; "Of
my wife Hannah is hereby given, forbidding all
persons whatever, from harboring or keeping her,
and from trusting her on my account, as I am de
termined to pay no debts of her contracting.”
NSLI TERM PERIOD EXTENDED
Congress has recently passed a law allowing
World War II veterans to renew their present
term insurance for a period of five years. Hereto
fore, servicemen have had to convert their in
surance to one of the six available permanent
forms. Meanwhile, more than 10,000,000 veterans
who have allowed their term insurance to lapse,
have until July 31 to reinstate said policies with
out a physical examination. If any of our Ecusta
veterans are planning action in such matters, now
is the time to act. The Personnel Department
will be glad to help handle your insurance prob
lems.
Life will be less sordid and more interesting
when people begin to realize that the only person
who rnakes a success of running other people
down is the elevator boy.
