PAGE FOURTEEN THE ECHO January, 19^^ News And Gossip From Our Various Departmenti Chemical Lab. News By THELMA GLAZENER It’s a new year—greeted by and with varied and sundry means. The different stories as to how the lab said hello to January 1st make history, but one report has it that Bob breathed a sigh of thanks when he came in next morning and found both gates open . . . muttered something about get ting his head through. Ted Mull practically wept when he slipped and sprained his ankle and couldn’t dance for a few days. Edith Ridenhour has a diamond. Yours truly hasn’t snooped in on the plans yet, but Pearl Mull says she spends half her time pulling Edith out of the clouds. Edith Stiles said her vacation was super. She spent part of it ait home in Franklin. Does anyone want some one to rock the baby? Marietta got up at two a.m. to rock her little niece. What a niece! There’s a new comer to the analytical lab. Bill Hunter—Wel come, Bill, and how’s about some news in ’47? Lucy Carke made a flying trip to Lavonia. Ga., to be with her family for Christmas. Here’s to a speedy recovery for Eva Sentelle’s brother who has been seriously ill at Biltmore hos pital. Dorothy Johnson spent the Christmas holidays with friends in Greensboro. Mary Shytle had a vacation the first of December but she says it was no good because she spent the most of it in bed. Too bad, Mary, better luck next year. Refining Dept. News B Shift By JACK RHODES Here we are, in the New Vear issue, settling down to make plans for a big year. Let’s all dig, and make ’47 the best year yet. Speaking of the New Year, let’s not forget the old year,—the good times and all the good things we enjoyed. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Straus for the swell Christmas parties which were enjoyed by all. We’re certainly glad to get our new insurance policies, which will give our families extra pro tection in case of sickness or ac cident. It’s just another feature of our Company-Employee policy to help keep Ecusta a place where folks can really enjoy their jobs. Thanks again. Next Christmas, if anybody wants a recipe for fruit cake, see M. Harden, of the Refining Room. His cake, mixed in a concrete mix er, weighs 103 pounds. Everybody on “D” Shift enjoyed his cake with “Freeman’s Joy Juice.” Dick Perron had Christmas Day off for the first time since the mill started, and according to re ports, he really enjoyed it. “B” Shift is planning a big coon hunt in “them thar mountains” and from where I sit, it doesn’t look so good for any coons that liappen to be out rambling that night. Congratulations to Enno Camen- zind and Ralph Orr on the recent additions to their families. Thanks for the good cigars, boys. “Jig” Thomas has been in high spirits lately. The Ecusta basket ball team is fast rounding into shape and beginning to go to town. Good for you, boys. OOLSBY LEANING By JOHN H. GOOLSBY Another year has gone, and a new one has started. With it will be many unforeseen things, but with the congenial group of peo ple we have here at Ecusta (peo ple are the life blood of any Com pany), there is nothing we can’t conquer. About this time of year, lots of us look back over the past year, and it makes us do some serious thinking; we realize that somehow our boss has been able to keep us at work, and have our money ready lor us every pay-day. I am sure chat all of us appreciate the many good things that have come to us through this kind of management, and I would like to take this op portunity to thank him for all these many fine things that have been done for us, and to pledge our best efforts and co-operation not only in this coming year, but for many, many years to come. I feel sure that I express the senti ments of many! Well, by the way, did any of you notice Paul Roberts, Sr., his wife and two sons cleaning up at the bingo party the other night? Believe me, there were six win- I'.ers out of that family of four. Some luck, I say. Bingo is one thing that all we Ecustans get a big kick out of. That new gray car, parked by the board walk, near the Mill Of fice, belongs to our General Sup erintendent, R. F. Bennett. Con gratulations, Mr. Bennett. He says that there is a button to do every thing but change a tire, but the employees in his office insist on giving him a Boy Scout hatchet and a can opener to make sure he gets out, if all those newfangled buttons go haywire. There is a big difference in de manding and requesting that which you want. The difference may be understood, when we stop to con sider the fact that the human mind resents everything that is forced upon it. Here is something that I have had on my mind for some time, and I would like to get it in this time. At one time or another, we have had the truth misconstrued . . . . this is the way that I see it. Have you ever heard of gossip town, On the shores of falsehood bay, Where old lady rumor with her silken gown Has her tongue running the live long day. It isn’t far to gossip town. For people who want to go For idleness train will take you down, In just an hour or so. The thoughtless road is a popular route. And believe me, most folks start that way. It’s steep down grade, and if you don’t watch out. You will land in falsehood bay. You will glide thru the valley of vicious ridge. And into the tunnel of hate, Then crossing the add-to bridge, You walk right in the city gate. The principal street is called they say And rcE This issue of the Echo will be the first of the New Year and the Five Year Service Club wishes to all its friends and members a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. It is our sincere de sire that all the world will really get back to good old fashioned hard work again and concentrate on the job at hand. Let’s spare no effort to make 1947 the best year ever! This being the good old month of January, it is also the birthday of our Honorary President, Harry H. Straus. To you, Mr. Straus, your fellow club members wish you the very happiest birthday. At the beginning of a New Year we extend our heartiest welcome to those who have recently become a member of our Five Year family. The executives and members of the club bid you welcome. The Executive Board takes pleasure in announcing that three radios have been purchased by the club and will be used for hospital ized Ecusta, Endless Belt and Champagne employees. Our vice president, Jack Wilber, was the man behind this idea and we say, “Thanks,” to him and to everyone else that helped to put this swell idea across. It was indeed a very thoughtful measure and I am sure ihat many of us will appreciate it time and again. Time weighs heav ily on a person’s mind while lying in a hospital bed and these radios will be of tremendous help in re lieving monotony and speeding recovery. The day after these radios were received, the first one went into active service at Tran sylvania Community hospital for Lila Baumgardner of Endless Belt who is recuperating from an op eration. Mrs. Baumgardner express ed her thanks to Hank Newbury and is at present ’enjo^inl tm radio with all the conifo'fts it give. , , Mary Sue Thorne aiid Thorne wish to express ^ j ihanks to everyone for, their ihoughts of sympathy upon the ^ expected death of their Mrs. Annie Thome. . Here Is A Letter FrMn Club President . As President of the FIVE-V® CLUB, I feel veiy unworthy „ the office, although I apppf®*^'j being elected.
