“Snoopy”
om,
On Tuesday evening, December 23,
members of Shift “D” of the Refining
Department met at the Canteen in
Brevard where a sumptuous meal was
served to them through the courtesy
of their foreman, Mr. Frank Patton,
Ansel Jones was toastmaster and the
Ecusta Quartet composed of the Mid
dleton and Staton Brothers furnished
music for the occasion. At the close
of this bountiful repast, Fred Bishop
presented Mr. Patton with a leather
billfold as a Christmas remembrance
from Refining “D”. The occasion was
highly enjoyed by all present and
Foreman Patton’s shift takes this op
portunity to thank him for a most
delightful evening.
“A GIFT”
While lying here with just the
thought
Of things that I possess
The things that belong just to
me,
I must, just must, confess—
There is one thing that every
one
Is given by the Fate;
And how each uses his own
gift .
May I in rhyme relate.
Some take it as it came to them
No hurry, bother, caret
They love the ram, admire the
sun, , . ^
And breathe m God s pure
While others rush, and are
afraid ^ ,
Their gift is not enough
To hold within its limit bounds
Their lives both smoothe and
rough.
Some strike a hat3py medium;
They work to live—yet live
They use their gift quite spar
ingly ^ .
And yet have more to give.
This thing that needs not
wealth not fame,
Belongs to one and all-— '
’Tis used by those who reach
success—
’Tis used by those who fall-
It is a gift from God above,
And thus is wrought a rhyme
He gave us all the same amount
How do you use YOUR
TIME?
—Mary Rickman.
First half honors in the Ecusta Duck
Pin League were won by the Cham
pagne team. This assures them of play
ing the winners of the second half for
top honors. In case the Champagne
team repeats in the second half, they
will automatically be the champions

Bowling Aids Defense
Hats off to the Bowling Associa
tions!
Thousands of dollars will go into
Defense Bonds through the Elimina
tion Tournaments being held all over
the country. This is being done
through the entry fees that are paid
by individual bowlers that enter these
tournaments. Instead of awarding
cash prizes, Defense Bonds will be
given to the winners—Even in fun
we can be doing a small part.
Refining ‘‘A” ADoings
We wish to express our sincerest
appreciation to Mr. Straus for his
wonderful remembrance for Christ
mas. . . . We had a very enjoyable
Christmas except for the fact that
we lost Harold McNeely to the army
and Homer Raxter had to report back
to Camp Polk before he told us all
about life in the army. We can assure
everyone that with these boys in the
army the war is nearly over ... wo
hope! . . . Enno Camenzind has pur
chased a mountain estate near Tryon
and has tagged it “Ye Alpine Stumps ’.
All he needs now is a wife that can
yodel.. . . Someone please tell Speedy
that he can’t come to work in pajamas
even on Christmas Day. . . . We are
glad to have Johnny Peters and fam
ily back with us. They spent the hoi
idays in New York en masse with nary
an air raid. . . . For the New Year
we do resolve:
1. To do everything we think is
wrong for in this way we may hope
to succeed in doing things right.
2. Not to show our loyalty to Jack
Alexander by betting on Duke in
the next Rose Bowl game.

Pulp Ballyhoo
I wonder if Slim will have to read
his diary to find out if his vacation in
Georgia was a success or not. We all
appreciated the greeting cards from
him. . . . “Knuckle Ball” has New
Years football spirit in the back of
his mind. . . . Abe Lance is still the
best inventor the Bleach Room has.
Bly Rogers claims no kin to Bob
Rogers no matter if both do claim
to be cousins of the “Roy Rogers
Cowboy”. . . . R. Wilber must have
the ole spirit in a big way. I haven’t
seen him frown in two weeks. . . .
Melvin McGaha says, “Let me work
three nights graveyard and I’ll whip
the Japs.” . . . W. E. and Babe are
still trying to figure out whether they
run No. 4 machine or it runs them.
Walt Glazener certainly gave the
millwrights down the country for bor
rowing his gas mask to open a CI-Z

“Elmer’s Tune” was written
The Ecusta Women’s Duckpin lea
gue resumed play on January 7. Hand
booklet “B” has maintained first place
rating throughout the entire season,
and again rolled up two wins to one
loss against Machine Booklet “B” to
top the lead with 25 wins and 5 losses.
Machine Booklet “A” played Hand
booklet “A” and they too managed to
win two games, which ties them with
Machine Booklet “B” with 18 wins
and 12 losses. The Office still main
tains third place with 17 wins, but is
followed closely by a much improved
Endless Belt team that threatens to
change second and third position rat
ings before the season closes. In
fourth place is Handbooklet “A/’.
Because of a change in work shift
the Finishing Department teams have
found it necessary to reorganize, and
the match which was to have taken
place between those two teams had to
be postponed until two new teams are
organized. We hope that this will be
possible before the next matches,
which are scheduled for January 14
and 15.
Ann Morris, captain of Handbook
let “B”, leads League with an 89 av
erage. Mamie Reynolds, captain of
Machine Booklet “B” is close on her
heels with an 88 to tie Sarah Avery,
also of Handbooklet “B”. Virginia Gar
land, of Machine Booklet “A*”, is tied
with Justine Williams, of Office, for
third with 86. Gladys McKinney, of
Handbooklet “B”, places fourth with
84.

Wonder Why
Mr. Straus was in such a bad humor
the day after Ecusta bowled the town
team. \
Teddy hasn’t been seen out at night
lately.
So mamny girls in the Hand Booklet
Dept, are wearing diamonds.
Eileen and Marie didn’t come back
to work on the day after the Rose
Bowl game.
Ruth Merril doesn’t hurry up and
set the date.
Jimmy W. suddenly quit talking to
Cleo.
Myrtle L. makes so many trips to
Fort Belvour.
Hazel McKinney’s eyes wander to
ward the Stitching Dept, these days.
Phil comes to work with lipstick
all over his shirt.
Lucille McCrary can be heard hum
ming, “Here Comes The Bride”.
Wonder why they always ask us to
write the gossip. Wonder if they
could be “hintin”.
