PAGE FOURTEEN THE ECHO February, ! Beautiful Prize Table At Club Party 9^ SJto Following a brief business meeting, Friday evening, January 31, membeirs of the Five-Year Service Club, their husbands and wives, enjoyed an evening of bingo. The photo above shows some of the lovely prizes that were won by those playing. Approximately 500 persons attended and were enthusiastic participants in the pop ular game of lucky nunubers. Among the many prizes won were all kinds of glassware and novelties. Many food items were given away also including several special cakes decorated with Five Year service Emblems and a large ham. News And Comments Finishing Department 3rd Shift By REBA ROGERS AND M. M. GARDNER Everybody seems to be enjoying their work lately, with Carl Mor ris singing “You Are My Sun shine.” Wonder why Alta and Lucille go to Greenville? Guess some thing’s cookin’, and I bet it’s not chicken, if you know what I mean. Think we’ll all go down. How’s ,'4bo«t it, Alta? Smitty said she had just had three top splices since Christmas. Sure looks like things are im proving around here. Sorry to hear of Willoree’s grandfather’s passing away. It was a shock to us all. Ruth, how many Seven-ups can you drink in one night? It took Cam Houk ten years to propose. (Grandma was slow, but she was old!) Wonder if M e r t Jackson is trying to look like Clark Gable with those sideburns. Somebody said Boots bought half interest in the telephone company iast month. Is that so. Boots? Christine’s new diamond sure is a beauty. We need a few more shoe stores in Brevard, now. Someone went to the shoe shop the other day, and saw 15 pairs of Nita Gra ham’s old shoes. Wonder where she is wearing them out? Wonder if Clyde Hemphill broke his mirror, or if his per manent is growing out. Sorry to lose .John and Louise, but maybe they’ll be back with us snon. WpII, that’s about all this month, so “Shut the door, Rich ard!” ANECDOTES During the war, the FBI received a letter from a patriotic, worried, apartment superintendent. One of his tenants had been receiving code-like postcards in the mail, and as evidence he produced a card marked “Kt-KKt5”. The federal agent eyed the card carefully and mustered, “Hm. I wonder how he’s mpVinfj out.” “You mean he’s a spy?” asked the suD°rintendent. “No,” the investigator replied, “just a chess player.” A Detroit painter took a paint ing iob in a New York hotel to psy for h's room and board, al- Ihnugh he had $1,100 in cash tucked away in some other hotel in the city. Hp had left the money with 2 hntel clerk while he went out to take a look at the city, then ior- the name and location of the hotel. A too executive of General Miils. a food concern, went to Washing ton to discuss food suoplv problems wi*h Lt, Gen. Brehon Somerville. Ch'pf of thp Armv Service Forces He tripd several times to make an apno'ntmpnt with the general, bu> every time, a very sweet-voiced SPcrotarv gnve him a comnlete bni'^-off. F'naTIv. he called Som- ervilln’s off'PP affain, and in a tone of cr'sn pti^horitv. said, “This i? Gpfpral Mnis. T,>t me talk with Gpr«ora] Somerville.” “.Tnst a minntp. General,” the secretary said, “I’ll put him on.” Abraham Lincoln, as a young lawver. was nleadlng two cases the s!>mo dav bp^'o’^e thp same judge. Po*^h C3SPS involved the same prin- cinlp of law, but in one, he ao- pparod for thp dpfendant. in the ptber, he spoke for the plaintiff. The recent presentation of Safe ty Awards to the Endless Belt-and Champagne corporations is worthy of some favorable com ment on a job well done. I’m sure that members of the Five Year Service Club are looked upon for initiative and leadership. We have been employed by our respective companies for five or more years and in that space of time have ?ained an efficient knowledge of our work. Therefore it is also our •'’ob to help in every way possible ►o achieve National recognition, not only in safety awards but in our productive work as well. The new employee looks to us for his raining, and we with our accum ulated knowledge of the job, owe nim this good start in the right direction. The company depends on us to see that the new em- nloyee receives proper and effi- scient training. Proof of our suc- Tn the morning he made an elo quent plea, and won his case. In '‘he afternoon, he was areuing with ‘he same aarnestness. The judge, 'vith a smilp in his voice, inaaired *he cause of his chance in attitude. “Your honor,” said Lincoln. “1 may have been wrong this morn ing, but I know I’m right this af- 'ternoon. Denutv sheriffs chospd a Hous ton. Text's, man for fiftv milps to inform him that he had left his wife and mothpr-in-1aw at a fill ing station at Dester Center, Calif,, where he ha4 stopped for ga». cess is evident in these recently won Safety Awards. Let us not be content with these achievements but work Safely, Efficiently and Steadily towards still higher goals. We are still an “infant industry” and years of success and harmo nious work lie ahead of us. Winning safety awards are not entirely new here. The second such .'jward was won by Endless Belt Corporation on January 1st, 1942. for a 12 month period without a lost time injury. One of the first Safety Awards went to Champagne Paner Corporation on August 5th., 1940, for an 8 month period, free of lost time injuries. We with ‘bought and cooperation, can do a better job safer, more efficiently f-nd with better quality than the next fellow. IT CAN BE DONE So let’s get to it. Another fallacv blasted!
