Page 2. THE ECHO THE ECHO Organ of Employees at Ecusta Paper Corporation, Champag-ne Paper Cor poration, and Endless Belt Co. Published Monthly at PISGAH FOREST, N. C. Printed by Champagne Job Printing Department. Our employees have contributed more liberally to this issue of the paper than in previous issues, but too few feel a responsibility of seeing that the news gets in for publication. In Champagne Paper Corporation, Bob Clayton and Karl Straus have worked diligently in soliciting news and con tributions from the various depart ments. They have likewise written some of the news articles. Carrying the responsibility for con tributions from*Endless Belt Company Miss Mary Sue Thorne has excellent cooperation in that department. So far no one has taken the respon sibility for Ecusta. The situation there is different due to the fact that they work four shifts and that the workers are more widely scattered. Some con tributions have come in from various sections of the plant, but we would like for some one in each department to be responsible for seeing that items of interest reach the paper. There is plenty of news in these departments if it were written up. We hope that each department will designate a person to be responsible for the news in that department. There has been a great deal of favor able comment on the appearance of the paper since it is being printed. The credit for this goes to Mr. Charlie Mar- golis, veteran printer for Champagne Paper Corporation. Mr. Margolis gen erously gave his time and talent to the tack of printing The Echo. The type was set on the linotype by The Transylvania Times and much gratitude is due Mr. Douglas and his boys. Mr. Margolis says he wishes, how ever, that we would give him at least thirty minutes to get out the job which normally takes a day or two. Engineers in Meeting Messrs. Otto Goepfert, Ray Bennett, Keith Pooser, Paul Tindall, and Her bert Pinck attended the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the Poinsett Hotel in Greenville on Tuesday evening, March 19 th. These gentlemen report a very en joyable evening with a most interest ing lecture and a banquet as high lights of the occasion. EACH DAY Exie Ilollifield Each day you start a page of white, Writing in the book of life Are you printing ugly words Or, are you living right? Now’s the time to try and think To keep the blots away— For once you spoil the snowy sheet The mar is there to stay. When the book is ended It isn’t always sad— Especially if it’s a good one— It’s only when it’s bad. Bob Margolis Leaves For Switzerland Continued from Page I government cancelled all passports of her citizens abroad; and Bob Margolis, the hero of our story, who at the time was studying in Scotland, had to come back to the good old U. S. He came back at a time when his father, Char les Margolis, was just about to move down to the South from New York. Charlie, as this expert printmaster is known to all his friends and co-work- ers, has been with Mr. Harry H. Straus for over 25 years; and when the Com pany moved to Pisgah Forest, Charlie came along with Mrs. Margolis and his son Al, and when Bob came back from Scotland, he too joined his fam ily in the South. Bob was a senior when the World War II had apparently set a stop to his ambition of becoming a doctor. But he would not give up. He got in touch with many Universities, here as well as in Scotland and Switzerland. It is not easy to enter a University as a senior. It is even harder to get permission by the authorities to go abroad. So Bob was wait ing, waiting—for one of his many at tempts to be successful and to give him the chance he was waiting for. Finally, last week, he got notice that there was a possibility of getting a passport and that he had been admitted to the University of Lausanne. With out any longer deliberating. Bob was ready to take the chance, and off he went—on his way to Switzerland—on his way to become a M. D. It wasn’t easy for old Charlie to see his son go away at these troubled times. His unselfish attitude of leav ing the decision completely up to Bob and his good judgment, is to be ad mired. A.11 of us that know Bob wish him the best of luck and all the success in trying to realize his ambition. For Charlie v/e have at least the one consolation, that soon his own son can cure him of the headaches arising from the over-anxious visitors to his print shop who are always in such a hurry to get their own forms print ed first. Open Forum Bowling Games Wanted Mary Sue Thorne We girls in Endless are getting be hind with our bowling during this lazy spring weather but we have succeed ed in arousing sufficient enthusiasm to select a name for our team. We have decided to call ourselves “The Pocahontas Bowlers.” Naming our team, we realize, doesn’t bring our bowling average up any but we hope to be able to avoid disgracing the name of the famous little Indian maiden who saved the life of Captain John Smith and later married John Rolfe, an Englishman and became a fine lady of London. We can think of no better way of disposing of spring fever than by working it off in a series of good peppy games with teams from the other departments: so here goes a chal lenge to the girls in the Hand and Machine Booklet departments and to the girls over in Ecusta. The Hand Booklet has a nice group of bowlers whom we have met once already. We are just considering ask ing the manager of the bowling alley to charge about one cent admission in order that the bowlers will be able to get a seat during the game. The Pocahontas Bowlers are Kath erine Case, Elizabeth Case, Virginia Davis, Jane Pearce, Etta Mae Mc- Gaha, Katherine Simms, Mary Sue Thorne and Blanche McCrary.
