Annual Feast W
Cherokee India
The Traditional American
Thanksgiving dinner of turkey,
cranberry sauce, will only look
like the first course when the
Cherokee Indians sit down to their
annual Feast on Sunday, Decern
ber 4tft.
The annual event, sponsored by
the Museum of The Cherokee
Indians, has 7 meats on the menu,
three drinks, and the vegetable list
is confined to only nine.
Everything served is truly native,

will be special guests. The Society
will begin their fall meeting
on Saturday and climax the twoL

In Conservation
Mead employees and Mead
management have undertaken a
/ast program to exert every pos
sible effort to eliminate unavoidable
and unnecessary waste from
all plant operations.
The program started about three
weeks ago when posters bearing
the letters, "W.O.W.?" were placed
all over the plant. W.O.W. signs
were also painted on the plant
floors, and as a result speculation
ran high as to the meaning of W.
O.W. until the announcement was
made that W.O.W. means "War on
Waste". '
The W.O.W. campaign comes as
an effort by Mead Management
and over 6,000 Mead employees
to combat waste throughout all 7
of the Mead plants. At the Sylva
plant, two large exhibits depicting
various forms of waste and the
effects of uncontrolled waste are
on display at the plant. These exhibits
are changed twice each
week. One of this week's exhibits
is in the form of a demonstration
as to what an "oil leak" will do
to machinery and the cost of such
waste. The other display illustrates

"Get out on a limb," waste being

The campaign is the result of
long planning on the part of Mead
officials. Representative from each
plant attended a Head Office
meeting at which time training
was given in different phases of
waste prevention. Each representative
then returned to his respective
plant and put the campaign
into elfeci* Conferences were held,
parting uv??*ithe phases of operation
where supplies and raw materials
are wasted. Supervisors
were thus shown and explained
Mead's great concern over the
waste problem.
