"The workers at the Cigarette Company of Jamaica were able to meet with Dr. George Rhoden when he visited the factory operations at Twickenham Park recently. Dr. George Rhoden who was invited to Jamaica to be the Guest Speaker at the Machado Sports Foundation Awards Ceremony, which is sponsored annually by the Cigarette Company of Jamaica, was taken on a tour of the cigarette plant by Factory manager, Mr. Lascelles Henry. Dr. Rhoden was particularly interested in the capabilities of the making machines, some of which can produce up to 3,000 cigarettes per minute. He was also interested in the quality control and the laboratory operations. Dr. Rhoden was met on his arrival at the factory by the Managing Director of the Company, Mr. John Martinez who introduced him to Senior Management and Executive Staff members of the Company. Our picture shows Dr. Rhoden (right) with Lascelles Henry and a CCJ Making Machine Operator during the tour."
