The Third War loan
drive was highly successful
m the yard with the em
ployees and company pur
chasing War bonds with a
maturity value of $1,143,
975 during the campaign.
We are proud of the large
part the shipyard took in
helping New Hanover coun
ty surpass its goal. Total
sales in the city and county
were $6,994,848 as against
a goal of $6,053,000.
Our efforts were carried out
on three fronts. First, cam
paign . sales to employees at a
special booth and at the bond
office amounted to $203,825
maturity value. The booth was
opened several days after the
start of the drive and scores
of young women employees at
tended to the sales there. Their
work is appreciated and they
made a real contribution in time
and effort in the campaign.
Next, regular payroll deduc
tions for bonds during the cam
paign period totalled $440,150,
maturity value. And third, the
company purchased $500,000

Group Insurance
Plan Is Approved
Goes Into Effect Hero
As Majority Mako
Application
With a substantial majority
of the yard's employees apply
ing for participation, the co
operative group insurance plan
has been approved and is now
in effect here.
Representatives of the Aetna
Life Insurance company, which
underwrote the program, said
the response was most gratify
ing and it is hoped that at least
95 per cent of the employees
will take advantage of the life,
accident and sickness insurance
within the near future.
It was pointed out that if any
one was overlooked during the
application sign-up and wishes
to participate, he should see his
or her supervisor. Any individ
ual who was employed before
November 1 but who failed to
make application has until De
cember 1 to do so without tak
ing a medical examination. Em
ployees hired after the plan be
came effective, on November 1,
may make application when
employed and the insurance will
become effective upon the com
pletion of three months of con
tinuous active service.

RARE SCENE This picture of six C-2 ships tied up at the outfitting pier is an unusual one and is only possible because
the necessary materials to complete these vessels have not arrived.
