26 OPEN FOR BUSINESS - The Pis gah Forest credit union had a mem bership of over 700 persons and a monthly income of more than $36,000 when the office was opened in August next door to the insurance office. Joetta Whitmire was em ployed as the administrator. She is pictured with, left to right, William D. Cline, president; J. Edgar Loftis, treasurer; and Grover Elkin, field representative with the N. C. Credit Union League. As the credit union moved ahead, the Company began implementing the plan to withdraw from the program of arranging em ployee loans through area banks. FIRE SCHOOLS From fire pump operations to breathing apparatus, members of the Protection Department at Pis gah Forest are being reschooled in a 1 2-week fire training program last ing through mid-November. John Bishop, protection super visor, opened the classes to mem bers of the fire brigades, particularly for a refresher on the use of fire extinguishers and classes of fire. Other topics are handling hose and nozzles and flammable liquids. Meanwhile, Bishop and others from Olin — Luke Harrison, Lewis Curlee and Fritz Merrell — were in volved in mid-September as co- hosts with the Brevard Fire Depart ment of the annual Western North Carolina Fire Service Training School. Bishop taught a course about industrial fires. Harrison and Curlee spoke on the topic of salvage. Numerous Olin employees took part in the fire training through their membership in local fire de partments. INTERNS WORK THIS SUMMER IN FORERUNNER OF THEIR PROFESSIONS Rising juniors and seniors learned this summer much of what is ahead for them in industry, having worked as interns in Fine Paper and Film Group plants at Pis gah Forest and Covington. Three of the seven women are majoring in chemical engineering. Others are ma joring in chemistry, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and foods and nutrition.
