Government Wants More &
Better Gardens. Charts
Published In Echo
Ecustans, like all other patriotic
Americans, are now making plans
to raise their 1944 Victory Gardens
and to assist them in planning for
bigger and better gardens, as the
government has requested, the cen
ter spread of this issue of the Echo
is devoted exclusively to carrying
charts and other vital information.
The charts and suggestions con
tained in this paper were worked
out by County Agent Julian Glaz-
ener and the State Agricultural
Extension service and approved by
the Ecusta and county garden com
mittees.
All employees are being urged
by the Ecusta garden committee to
study the charts and to make full
use of them.
The committee is composed of
R. F, Bennett, chairman, H. P.
Vannah, F. S. Best and Walter
Straus.
It is estimated that at least 1,050
Ecusta families will have Victory
Gardens this year at their homes.

BASKETBALL IS
IN LIMELIGHT;
SOFTBALL MAYBE
Softball League Will Be
Organized If Sufficient
Interest Shown
In response to the keen interest
that is now being manifested for
the revival of athletics, the Rec
reational Department has been
authorized to expand its athletic
program during the ensuing year.
A successful bowling season has
just ended and right now basket
ball is holding the spotlight. When
basketball is over, plans have been
approved to resume softball and
baseball, provided a sufficiently
large number of persons are in
terested or provided several de
partments can organize teams of
their own to form a league.
With the view of getting several
departmental teams to play each
other for fun and recreation, bas«
ketball practice in the college gym
was started a short time ago.
Play Exciting Games
As yet a departmental league has
not been formed, but an Ecusta
team was selected from the group
who had been practicing regularly
and when this paper went to press
they had played two close and ex
citing games with the Brevard col
lege girls. Friday night of this
week they played Grey’s Hosiery
mill of Hendersonville, but results
were not available in time for pub
lication.
The Ecusta girls lost their open
ing game by the score of 27 to 22,
and also their second contest 41
to 33, Hazel McKinney was high
scorer in both games, making 10
and 13 points respectively. Willie
