J cigarette paper maker has been
fctor of Ste. Nouvelle de Papeteries
Champagne for several years. M.
Tel came to Brevard in April of
, year to supervise the opening'
.'ations of the Ecusta Paper Cor

•ufacturing cigarette paper is a
partively new industry in America,
policies and methods of production

lon of M. Cartel.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Since the first issue of our house organ went to
press, Mr. Cartel and Mr. Gros, our French friends, have
left and we hope, by this time, they have safely reached
their homes and found their families and friends in the
best of health.
From my daily inspection of the products which we
are turning out, I am very glad to tell you that I feel we
are doing good work and I compliment all of you on it.
The encouraging part is that even since the de
parture of our French instructors we have succeeded in
putting into practical execution what they have tried to
teach us during the many months they were with us, and
it must be our unending ambition not only to maintain
this but to improve.
There are many ways in which our paper can be
made more satisfactory to the ultimate consumer. We
will never reach perfection but I cannot help again im
pressing upon all of you that we must concentrate on
quality and watch it every minute of the day and night.
Mr. Wells reported to me about the progress which
is being made towards the collection for the new Hos
pital. Many of our departments have responded splendid
ly; others are lagging behind.
A good Hospital is most essential in any commun
ity and it is very much needed in Brevard; consequently,
I hope that all those who have not as yet contributed
will promptly report to the party in charge of their re
spective departments.
I want Ecusta to go 100% “over the top” and I hope
that all of you will help us.
The severe Winter has passed. Spring is around the
corner and 1 hope that with the better weather all of us
will soon get together to organize for activities of en
joyment—-sport and recreation. All of us should not only
“work together” but also “play together”.
All suggestions towards this end are very welcome,
will be considered by us and would be very helpful to
those who will tae charge of this department in formu
lating plans for the enjoyment of everybody.

FLAG GOES UP IN FRONT OF OFFICE
ll’ray! Hooray for what? Hooray for
the flag that now snaps so merrily in
the mountain breeze—our flag!
To honor the memory of the Father
of our Country the flag of the United
States of America was raised for the
first time on the Ecusta grounds on
the anniversary of his birth, February
22nd, Washington’s birthday.
Raised it was on that Particular day
as an act of commemoration for a
great patriot Vjut raised every day
^‘The Echo^’ Selected
Publication Name;
Annie Morris Winner
from now on more in honor of the liv
ing patriots—not all of us great—who
are a part of the most respected or
ganization in the world today: Ameri
can Industry!
By itself it’s only some bits of red,
white and blue cloth stitched together
in a prescribed pattern, a standard that
flies in the sun but it’s a symbol of a
spirit so deep and so moving it cannot
fail, either by day or night, to be an
inspiration to us all.
“'Phe Echo” was the name selected
by the judges as being the best sub
mitted for the paT)or. Tlie $5.00 prize
goes to Miss Annie Morris of the Hand
Booklet Department of C’hampagne
Paper Corporation. This name was al
so sul)mittp(i J)y Miss lOlsie Rice, of
the Machine Booklet Department of
Champagne Pai)er Corporation; but ac-
c!ording to the time clock and calendar.
Miss Morris submitted the name ex
actly one week earlier than Miss Rico;
and ac'-ording to the rules, ‘‘the early
l)ird catches the worm”.
The same name in various forms
was submitted by several people, and
the general idea of lOcho was probably
sul)mitted more times than any other
one. Some called it Eco, lOcco and
Ecusta Eclio. The judges preferred the
correct spelling of the word, and
thought it would l)e better to omit the
word Ecusta, due to the fai^t tliat
i'hamt)agno I’aper ('orponition and
landless Holt Company miglit want to
lOcho too,
Webster defines Echo as a sound
reflected or reverberated: or an ex
pression of one’s views. The name is
loubly appropriate since the indus
tries are situated in the Davidson lliv-
er Valley with Mt. Pisgah and other
towering peaks serving as sounding
boards to resound the vibrations of our
activities.
The response in the sulxni.ssion of
names was excellent, with approxi
mately 2f)0 names being snbinUted. 'I'he
interest disi)layed was appreclatoil. Tlio
name has l)een selected the mark of
r/ie time clock, and (lie (iecision of the
judges is final. The employees t'aoe
a challenge to make the I:(’ll() resound
a loyal and progressive spirit.
