HERE and THERE
Endless Belt Department
Reporter: M. S. Thorne
Frankie Whitmire boasts that he
doesn’t really need any practice to
beat the g’irls in Endless bowling-, so
we take it for granted that he is doing-
all the fancy practicing merely to im
prove his form.
THE ECHO
Api,
We wonder if Mary Lou Shytle can
will a rush order for maroon lipstick
for Katherine Case—and-er something
grey with that would blend nicely with
the car, Katherine.
Judging from seeing him here and
there one would get the impression
that Ed Rathbauer isn’t exactly on
the floating shift these nights.
There are recent reports of two very
happy brides in the Endless Belt Cor
poration.
Elsie Beatrice Woodward of Rosman
was married to William Henry Holli
day of Brevard in Greenville on March
12th.
Mr. Holliday is employed in the Re
fining Beater room of Ecusta.
Mr. and Mrs. Holliday are occupy
ing an apartment at Enon.
The marriage of Lois Vonala Ashe
and Benjamin Martin Rickman of Hen
dersonville which took place on Feb
ruary 15, was announced last week.
The groom is employed in the elec
trical department of Ecusta Paper Co.
The young- couple is residing in the
Felder Home in Hendersonville.
It is nice to see Annie Mae McCall
back in Endless after an illness of
two weeks.
Jack Davies, foreman of the Ironing
department in Endless Belt, has been
confined to his home for sometime on
account of a bad knee. He underwent
an operation on his knee at Biltmore
hospital in Asheville last week. It is
reported that he is convalescing nice
ly at his home in Hendersonville.
Grace Hamilton, of Endless Belt, is
in the Greenville City hospital under
going treatment. Her friends wish for
her a rapid recovery.
It has been necessary for Mrs. Oscar
Harbin to give up her work in End
less Belt temporarily on account of
her health. It is hoped that she will
be able to return to her work within
a few weeks.
We will be happy to welcome Jack
Davies on his return from Mission hos
pital where he recently underwent a
minor operation for his knee. Could
be that his son Zachary, was getting
too heavy to bounce on daddy’s knee!
The boys in the Ironing Department
paid Jack Davies a visit one night
last week. Headed by Gabby Flana
gan, Odell Scott, Bud Case and Alvin
Blythe. Mrs. Davies served refresh
ments during the evening and the boys
serenaded .lack with a piano, accordian
and guitar as played by Mr. Scott and
Mr. Blythe.
That was no speedboat in the David
son River a few weeks ago. The Flan
agans were only washing their car in
the middle of the river.
Gumming Department
Reporter: Oscar L. Keating
Asked of Gumming Machine Opera
tor—Have you any gummed bobbins?
Ans.—No but we have gum drops on
the floor.
Ecusta rolls are not good with but
ter but very good if gummed.
Ecusta rolls are made from flax, not
wheat flour.
Bill Erwin thought NACL was a
railroad, what do you think?
Jesse Owen should marry a gumming
machine. It has pulled his hair and
mashed his finger and toe and is hot
enough to cook.
Believe It Or Not—
Clark Grissom of the Gumming De
partment punched his time card out on
Friday, March 29th at 4:03, terminat
ing
8 years
8 months
3 weeks

of married life.
Operator—Was the foreman nervous
when he drove his new car?
No, but the road was very jittery.
MACHINE ROOM
Shift "D”
Reporter: John Gools'by
On Friday, March 15, 1940, Clyde
Shuford, Back Tender on No. 3 ma
chine, and Miss Frances Edens of Ros
man, joined the ranks of the married.
We all wish you and the wife happi
ness and prosperity, and remember,
no sea, no matter how wide, or deep,
but what has its storms and tempests,
and the sea of matrimony is no ex
ception—and it takes a good skipper
to ride ’em out.
It looks as if we might have some
future golf champions in our organiza
tion. A few days past, a party of six
who yearned for excitement decided
to try a few holes of g'olf. Ray Sterl
ing- and I were playing “holding the
bag,” it seems .Me.ssrs. L. B. Owen,
Machine Tender on No. 2, and Red
Woods were sure up to par. Bill
Raines and Lyda were shooting above
the average, and Roy Wolfe, so he
tells me, was playing- according to the
law of average. Frank Curtis destroy
ed his score card. If interest keeps
up, a club will be formed this spring.
We have had lots of mild sickness on
our shift lately. One of the ailing
was Skipper Suter who was on the
job piloting us through the storms
when he should have been in bed.
Galloway, Machine 3. looked so weak
he could hardly stand up. “Shorty”
Hargis offered him a transfusion but
he declined. Kingdoms are built on
spirits like this.
They say the cleverest man makes the
worst husbands. (Don’t you believe
it. The cleverest men never make
husbands.)
Leo Jacobs, No. 1 Machine, has
returned from a trip hack home in La.
where he spent several days visiting-
loved ones and friends. He said that
he had a very fine trip and really en
joyed his short vacation in his home
town.
Spencer Macfle is a recent addition
to our shift- We are all glad to have
Macfie working- with us and will do
everything we can to help him learn
the paper making trade.
When all the men on the team get
the habit of putting their heads to
gether and talking over the problems,
the chances of solving these problems
are highly favorable.

Glad to welcome back to our depart
ment Louise Owen, Dot Allison, Juanice
Hall and Mary Carolyn McIntosh. A
special welcome goes to Kathleen
Teague, a newcomer from the Hand
Booklet Department.
James Avery and Weilt Duckworth
from M.B.D. find points of interest in
Asheville every week-end — shopping,
etc.
All girls looking for new hair-do’s
need not bother about seeing the lat
est beauty culture magazine. Get in
touch with Mary Allison. She’s got
just what you’re looking for.
Tickets! Tickets! Rig-ht this way
folks. Ah, here comes Harold Erwin.
Of course he wants one. Now don’t
lose it, Harold. They’re expensive—
sixteen dollars and thirty-one cents to
be exact.
The girls of M.B. miss Paul Young’s
courtesy and patience since he is work
ing on night shift this week.
Confucius say little girlie who eats
many chocolates every day grow big
and fat. Beware Bertie Haehnel and
Mickey Tinsley.
Maybe some are wondering why all
the girls in M.B. are wearing such stun
ning new blue dresses around town.
Well, Harry Golderer’s new car is blue,
isn’t it?
Clara Barnett looks forward to the
day when she can cut Blue Tip Top
without seeing s])ots before her eyes.
Take a hint, ye printers.
To Lucy White we extend our deep
est sympathy and hope to have her
back soon.
Fritz Haehnel of the Printing De
partment makes the grandest noodle
soup for his lunch. How about asking
us over for some lunch sometime,
Fritz?
That was some fish story, Harry
Rathje. Who ever heard of fishing
with a rake. Anyway we must give
you credit for originality.
Buck McCall is our favorite cop. He
can say, “You can’t do that” in the
most respectful manner and mean it.
The stretch of road leading into the
plant has been nicknamed, “Skyline
Drive” by some of the boys from Hen
dersonville. The reason is simple. One
makes a line drive for the sky riding-
over some of the bumps and holes.
Congratulations to “Pappy” .loe Gal
loway and his better half. The Blessed
J]vent being a 10 pound baby boy on
March 20th.
Sam Barnett’s head swelled so much
since he has been married his hat
stuck to his head one day last week.
What a picture it would have been to
see Mrs. Barnett cutting it loose from
his hair with a razor blade. Wonder
if they bought that pair of scissors
Sam said he was going to make the
missus buy.
Helen and Altha McCall were seen
riding Sunday evening in an A Model
roadster. Who’s the boy friend?
Have you seen Dona Wright and
RuVjy Allison anywhere but together?
You would think they were having a
laughing contest.
The girls in the Hand Booklet De
partment would get along better if
they would use more gum on the paper
and less chewing gum.
We wonder why lAike Harrison is
always hanging- around the doctor’s
office. Is he sick, or is it the nurse
he’s interested in?
We have heard, but don’t tell any
body that Porky Erwin has been seen,
auite a bit in Asheville lately.
