This family is much like your very own at home. It works as a team to accom plish things to a common end. It is a proud family too. To belong to it, you cannot buy your way in nor are there any dues. You just must have faithfully done your job for Five Years to be one of us. It is your work alone that is the ini tial fee to belong to this club of ours. Here we have a list of new members—Five year Service Club: Ecusta—Harry L. Ballard, Thel ma M. Luther, Gus J. Bostic, Sher man Crisp, Willie Landreth, John C. Sprouse, James L. Clay, Roy F. Jarvis, Edward M. Collins, Ralph D. Galloway, Donald W. Scruggs, R. Cecil Buckner, Clarence Morris, Edward A. Glazener, Robert L. Merrill, Lester A. Lemmons, Jr.; Douglas P.

If you cannot get in touch with Mr. Anders, just write a note to the Five Year Club and drop it in any of the mail boxes here at the plant. We hope that all of you had a pleasant Thanksgiving. Despite the high cost of the Thanksgiving “bird” we are at least thankful that we could have one to eat. Don’t forget that there are a lot of people in this world that were lucky enough to have a piece of bread to eat much less turkey. Be thankful that you are able to help the less fortunate people. We are sorry to learn of “Bub” Thompson’s sudden illness. Here’s hoping you are feeling much bet ter “Bub.” Coy Fisher is steadily improv ing and Santa Claus might present him with a trip home for Christ mas dinner. This is good news to a lot of us at Ecusta. If you know of any Five Year I Club members that are home ill or in the hospital, please advise our secretary, Mr. Bob Anders at Ecu- I sta, at once. We wish to remember these people and see after their At the time that this column goes to press we know of some plans for the future program of the club. However, they still are in process of planning and have not been fully decided upon. We hope that we will have something more definite to report, before, or in the next issue of the Echo. Dick Landeck. “Mommy, when is the Fuller Brush man gona’ play pool with Daddy?” “Why, Willie, what a silly ques tion.” “Well, didn’t you tell him today that you’d give him his cue when you see Daddy coming?” Just A Minute, Mister! Although the “tug-’oAvar” has de clined in popularity, it is one of the oldest forms of sport, having been originated by the Greeks as a method of developing the upper body muscles of the soldiers so that they would be better able to drag army wagons. Among many na tions, the tug-o’-war was a compul sory part of military training. Centuries ago, it ceased to be a part of military work and was adopted as a sport. Community af fairs featured contests which were entered by the brawniest lads. During a certain period in Amer ica, no picnic was complete with out a tug-o’war, but in recent years the sport has lost favor. Oc- i casionally, you will still see the I boys grunting away, trying to make the opposition bite the dust. A team can be made up of any number of men, but the teams must be equal in numbers. Offi cially, the rope must be four inches in circumference. Its length depends largely on the number of men competing. There must be a 12 foot allowance for the center pull; there must be a 12 foot slack on each end, and an allowance of 4 feet for each center stand. Therefore, a tug-o’ war with six men on each team would call for a rope 84 feet long. A strip of tape is placed in the exact middle of the rope. Side tape is placed six feet to each side of the center. A center line is marked on the ground, and six feet to each side of it are marked the side lines. A pull starts with the rope taut and the center tape di rectly over the center mark on the ground. The contest is over when one side pulls the rope in its own direction far enough so that the side tape marking of the other team crosses the side line mark ing of the pulling team. Thus, a winning team hauls the other team only six feet or so, but the feat is far from simple, especially when the teams are evenly matched. The longest tug-’o-war on record took place in India, in 1889, be tween two companies of British soldiers. The match lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes.
