REINARTZ Vice President Special Operating Development EN with burning torches were swarming all over Old 704 when I last saw her at Hamilton a few weeks ago She had been a new powerful steam locomotive when she first came to Armco back in 1929. But now they were stripping her cutting her into pieces After 23 years of Armco service she was being reduced to a pile of junk to be melted in our furnaces She was the last re- maining steam locomotive at any Armco plant Her successor was one of the new Deisel locomotives T streamlined in design strong with quiet power efficient in operation as it glided over the rails After 23 years Old 704 could no longer compete with modern loco- motives she cost too much to operate That is the fate of machines - to be cast aside when better and more useful ones comes along But fortunately that need not be the fate of men and women People are not like machines Unlike Old 704 people have the power to change they can adapt themselves to new dhe circumstances they can grow Machines can not learn new ways people can Machines are purely mechanical they have no mind that can discover better methods to do their jobs A machine can not grow wiser or more experienced or more useful than when it was first created It can only grow older There are many examples at Armco to show how men improve with age Look in at the many training courses being held each year at our plants Practically every training class an with the exception of apprentices contains many men who are in that wide area of our lives we call middle They ing more about their jobs and for better jobs ahead are learn preparing Notice the many subjects these men ------ studying blueprint reading electronics metallurgy the many shop crafts They are learning new knowledge developing their skills and their ability They are making themselves more valuable to Armco and to themselves They find new pleasure in their work Most of these men have been with Armco for a long period of time Old 704 had been with our company for 23 years and her period of usefulness had ended But at Armco there are several thousand men who have been with Armco for more than 25 years and they are doing jobs that help keep our company in the front rank among nation's steel producers Our company's Suggestion Plan indicates that men of mature years are handing in suggestions which improve safety and effi ciency on their jobs and lower the cost of making steel More suggestions are handed in and accepted from men over 40 years than below that age And the largest cash rewards the major awards have been con- sistently earned by the suggestions submitted by the older more experienced men There were some who feared the Machine Age meant the end of usefulness of the individual Yet many of us have seen machines come in wear out chines - all and be replaced by within our lifetime new Like ma- Old 704. As long as we can use our many opportunities to keep ourselves growing mentally and add to our usefulness we need not fear going the way of machines Your youth lasts a long time The early years are the beginning of your experience Your wisdom grows Your knowledge and your ability grow too if you will continue your training and keep your mind alert to new ideas People do not grow old by merely living a number of years We grow old when we lose our enthusiasm and succumb to a love of ease We do not have to fear " wearing out as much as we need to fear rusting out You are as young as your faith as young as your confidence as young as your hope Those are virtues Old 704 never had Armcooperator A Arm - co operopaertatoorr Published of once every month by the i.

I Escaped from the Russians " Russians We will have to call this Butler Armco man Mr. X He once lost his freedom to the Rus- sians And because he has brothers and sisters behind Iron Curtain he asked what the his name or show to his face for fear ofof what mimgihghtt happen to those members of his family Mr. X's story came out during one of the discussions at the Butler Armco plant about the movie In Our Hands He told his buddies that the story in the film could be true for he had had the ex- perience of having his freedoms taken away He told about the suffering hardship distrust and fear behind the Iron Curtain Here is his story as he told it was living in a small pleasant village in Central Europe when shanghaing men for the Nazi Army Along with other patriots I border into Poland The Russians were occupying Poland the Nazis started escaped across the For entering Poland and Russian border police arrested us We were tried but none of us were allowed to offer any defense and we were all sentenced to 5 year imprisonment The next four weeks after the trial we spent in a box car heading for the interior of Russia Then a short stop and transfer to another box car and up into the heart of Siberia Our destination was a slave labor camp Along with thousands of other slaveprisoners we were put to work building a railroad There were about 15,000 of us at that camp Our section of the roadbed was many miles from the camp We walked the entire distance to work each morning After working all day at hard labor there was always the weary miles march back to camp We would get back long after dark This went on every day seven days a week Countless prisoners died from exhaustion and hunger Our food was damp black bread and thin watery soup It was a starvation diet Conditions were so bad that of the prisoners just gave up living They killed themselves by running against a mfaenncye that was heavily charged with electricity was one of the lucky ones After 22 months of this ordeal I was released to join a nationalist army that Moscow had ordered the puppets who were to recruit I lost 80 pounds during my stay at the slave labor camprdurnonpipnignmgyfrcoomunt1r7y5 pounds down to 95 Germany When World War II ended with Germany's defeat I was able to start my escape I first fled to Czechoslovakia and later made my way into the U.

The cost of developing this new ore field is being shared by several steel com- panies besides Armco NEW VICE PRESIDENT R. S.
