Printed by Champagne Job Printing Department. SUGGESTIONS ARE ANSWERED THE ECHO Community Hospital Under Construction Septem in Many glowing reports have been received on the new Cafe teria, these by the people who have been able to be served in the cafeteria itself. However, the Management has receivec a number of suggestions from those employed throughout the mill who, due to the nature of their work, are required to “eat on the job”. A tabulation of the suggestions and com plaints received from the mil workers show there is only one thing uppermost in their minds: that some means be provided so that all mill workers will be given an opportunity to pur chase some form of nourishing food and beverages. However, we must ask these employees to bear with us for a reasonable length of time so that adequate facilities may be provided. It is our aim to take care of every one. It is the Management’s in tention to provide, as soon as possible, modern food convey ors to serve those particular de partments in the mill. These conveyors will enable the Cafe teria to deliver to various parts of the mill bottled drinks which which will be kept cold, also a variety of hot foods. These foods, of course, will be on the same basis as those served in the Cafeteria, namely, at cost. “THE SHOWER” Early one afternoon the sun light faded; dark clouds gath ered, and to the east the sky was smoky black. Thunder roared and lightning cracked. The wind, a few minutes be fore but a cool breeze, now swayed the tree tops as the grass blades lashed hopelessly against the earth. The flowers snapped their heads to and fro as they clung to their stems. Then, as if a flood gate had been opened, the rain came, in cold cutting drops. Little streams formed and trickled among the rock. The shower lasted but a few minutes, then subsided. '1'^? clouds gathered and drifted farther away, no longer could thunder be heard or lightnmg ' dirt' V ''^ ^ Above is shown the picture of the new Community Hos pital in Brevard, which is now under construction. When completed the building will have 24 beds and will have modern technical equipment. Ecusta employees have con tributed approximately $2500.00 toward the cost, which amount has been matched by the Company. The total cost is expected to exceed $85,000.00 and Ecusta employees are proud of their contribution and expect to give more if it is needed. seen. The wind again became just a gentle breeze, and the earth drank the water. At last the sun—an even brighter sun than had shown before. The trees shook themselves free of the few last clinging drops. Everything looked fresher and greener. The flowers were brighter and their heads no longer drooped, but were lift ed skyward as in reverent thankfulness for the rain. Yes every thing was refreshed and brightened by the shower. What is a storm for but to make us see and enjoy the sun shine after the rain is gone? What is a frown for but to glorify the smile that follows it? What is more pleasant than to see a child’s smile through tear stained cheeks? What is more beautiful than sunshine after a storm ? There wouldn’t be hills with out the hollows; What’s a frown for, but the smile that follows? —Mary Rickman. Bowling Most Popular FUMING YOUTH! In a recent survey of Indus- ;;rial Recreation by Purdue University, a startling fact was disclosed. The outstanding and most popular sport among In dustrial workers was bowling. The greatest number of teams were reported in bowling. The results show that this sport had as many as 600 teams in single company. Men engaged in bowling were most frequently between ages 30 and '34. The first survey of this type was made m 1916 and at that time the most popular sport was baseball. Even then bowl- mg ranked a close second. Flaming youth. Youth with its vim and abounding capacity for thrills. With its throbs of joy that sink to the depths of the soul. Youth that blooms and flour ishes before the praise and ap proval of a world that applauds without any real feeling. Youth that glows as the coals of a kindled fire. Radiant youth that beams for years then discord;— oblivion. Creative youth let her climb to summits unknown. Youth that builds up the ideals of hu manity then tramples them un der unmerciful heels. Daring youth that flaunts its true colors before a chiding world. Before a world that fails to understand. A youth that displays true values and stand ards under artificial trimmings. Impulsive youth that spends its time going hither and thith er searching far into the adul terated experiences of life, then holding up her findings for^ the world to hear and ex claim over. Youth keeps nothing hidden. She IS not a coward for she fac^ the facts of life with her nead up and her spirits un daunted. Selfish youth reaching for the impossible, climbing into the unknown, drawing a 11 things for her own benefit. Scorning youth who sits and laughs at the tragedies of life, folding her hands, doing noth ing that brings good to her. Weary youth sacrificed^ on the inhuman altar of criticism: forever prodded and repri- WHAT GOOD I MACHINE GU> All our machines ■ guarded and, believe the guards stay in time they’re running’;^^, A new time card in the rack this mof John, and like all ne' Rusty started him some good advice chine guards.
