Page 4 THE ECHO MORE EMPLOYEES LEAVE FOR CAMP Due to acceleration of the Selective Service Program, an additional group of men from Transylvania County left for camp on April 7th. Out of the group of eleven, six were from Ecusta. It is expected that an other group, which will include six from Ecusta, will be called April 15th. The group which left for camp April 7th included Mar cus Ned Medford from the Chemical Laboratory, Paul O. Young from the Research De partment, James P. Morrow from the Filter Plant, Guy Mull from Champagne Print ing Department, Hovey Wal drop from the Pulp Mill, and Sidney Mace from the Machine Shop. These men were all in good spirits and ready to go as they boarded an early bus in Bre vard for Camp Jackson at Col umbia, S. C . EMPLOYEES-Con. Corps, so he enlisted for three years service. ^He thinks he will like it so well that he in tends to stay-thiiitj years. We hate for him to be gone so long, but hope that he finds the life in the Air Corps as pleasant as he anticipates. Allen Smith, from the finish ing department, was the only employee to be drafted in March. He was sent to Fort Bragg. A number of the fellows have written to their friends at Ecusta. Some have written to the Personnel Manager ex pressing their appreciation for Ecusta. Ed Runnion says, “Get ting along fine, my address is: 67th Q. M. Bn, Co. D, Fort Bragg, N. C.” Walter McNeely writes, “Am getting along fine. Would be glad to hear from you and get the ‘Echo.’ My ad dress is Co. A 4th Bn, Ft. Mam- mouth, N. J.” Ed Vassey says, “Having a fine time in the Ar my, but they moved Moore and Galloway about nine miles away. Send us an ‘Echo’ please when the next issue comes out. We got the others.”. J. D. Po land says, “I am just beginning to get accustomed to Army reg ulations, but I will never be able to thoroughly master them. I will always look for- v/ard to the time when I can return to Ecusta.” Ecusta and its employees hope that the boys will really have a fine time in camp and return when their training per iod is over. ECUSTA PAPER CORPOR ATION IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA SAFETY COUNCIL Meetings of the above Coun cil have been attended recent ly by representatives from Ecusta and Champagne, and it was very pleasing to note the amount of intense interest that is being shown in the promo tion of safety, not only in the plants, but on the highways and in the home. The members of the Council are divided into two groups and a handsome safety trophy is presented to the winner in each group at the end of the year. Ecusta is in group No. 1 with Champion Paper & Fibre Company, Beacon Manufactur ing Company, Enka Corpora tion and Sayles Biltmore Blea- cheries. It is truly hoped that we can give these plants some keen competition in the pre vention of accidents and es tablish a ^s»fety record here at Ecusta thkt will- be. second to none. Let’s all put our shoulders to the w^heel and do everything within our power to create a good record of manhours work ed without a lost time accident. In order to do this, we must all realize that accidents can be prevented and that it will only take honest effort on the part of those connected with the Ecusta Family to accomplish the above. TIME CLOCK—Con. them how objects of any kind should be lifted. The meeting was held right over near me and it’s easy to remember these simple rules that Rusty gave them: 1. Never try to lift beyond your strength—ask for help and you’ll get it. 2. Always crouch down to what you are going to lift. 3. Get a firm grip. 4. Keep your arms straight and keep your back in as near a straight up-and-down posi tion as possible. 5. Lift gradually, — avoid jerky motions, 6. Avoid twisting motions. 7. Life by standing up or pushing up with the strong leg muscles. This takes the strain off the back. 8. Put things down the same way. Rusty ended thei n^eeting with his favorite piece of ad vice: “Remember fellows, this is the right way to lift and it is also the safe way to lift. Let’s not have any more back strains!” ALEXANDER-Con. nament of Roses While Alexander’s spectac ular football performiances overshadow his other athletic activities, he was equally as active in other sports. We have never heard of his clouting one over the fence to break up a world series, but he had made quite a success as a profession al baseball player, and after graduation he signed a con tract with the New York Yank ees, which he continued until he asked to be placed on the voluntary retrieve list so that he might come to Ecusta. Dur ing the time he belonged to the Yankees, he played with their farm teams at Norfolk in the Piedmont League, Bing- hampton in the Eastern League, and at Akron in the Middle Atlantic League and Amster dam in the Canadian American League. As a coach, he is well known around this section for his success in developing a winning football team at Brevard Col lege last year. Before coming to Brevard College, he had served at backfield coach at V. M. I. He left Brevard last winter to accept a position as assistant coach at Tampa Uni versity, subsequently resigning the later position to come to Ecusta. In his new position here he will be connected with the Per sonnel Department and have charge of all athletic activities. These activities will include into departmental competition in the various sports as well as “varsity” competition with other industrial teams of this section. During the summer months he will organize baseball, soft ball, tennis and other teams. During the winter months there will be basketball, bowling and other outdoor activities. SHARE YOUR LOCKER Mr. Bennett, who is Gen eral Superintendent, makes the following statement: “We wish to call everyone’s atten tion to the fact that we have provided ample wash room space and lockers for everyone in the new mill addition and that it will only be a very short time until we will be able to use them. We ask that you continue to be patient and share your lockers with one another during the training period which of course is bringing in many more em ployees than our locker rooms were designed for.” WEDDINGS , ly’ Announcement haw’) made of the marriage Faye Glazener to Fra}— op on Saturday, Marc' Greenville, South ' Mrs. Bishop is empl Champagne Paper tion.
