Volume I No. 10 Great northern newsletter COMPANY FOR MONTHLY SALARIED EMPLOYEES MILLINOCKET, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1962 Outward signs of Christmas were more than usually evident at the mills this year. Evergreen decorations with myriad colored lights were located on all sides. With the opportunity of adding the beautiful Engineering and Research Building to the sites decorated, the Safety Supervisors, who arranged this program, made the Christmas Spirit visible in tasteful brightness. To spread the spirit of Christmas, the Company forwarded some of Maine’s beautiful evergreen trees, for use as Christmas trees, to Mr. Fred Wachs, President, Lexington Herald-Leader; Mr. Edwin Young, General Manager, Providence Journal; and to Mr. Frank Morrison, President, Pittsburgh Press. Practically all Woodlands work sites were closed December 24 and 25 for the holidays. Employees will work the following Saturday to make up time lost on Monday. This action gave the employees a four- day week end which meant a great deal to men whose work keeps them away from home all week.
