With the advent of spring our
thoughts return again to the great
outdoors. We say this with our
ingers crossed, no telling where
or when the next snowstorm will
nit. At any rate outdoors was the
subject, and whenever we mention
ihe word we mean Camp Sapphire.
;onsiaerabie time and eflorc was
dpent by the company to improve
inis beautiful recreation center
and we foresee plenty of activity
ihere this season. It was indeed
gratifying to notice one thing in
particular last season about Camp
oapphire. The people using all the
I'aciiities which the camp offered
certainly kept it a spick and span
show place. It was with pride that
this writer carried his out of town
guests to Sapphire to show them
all the beauty which the camp had
to display. Invariably the guests
always came up with the same re
mark, “My, how clean and nice.”
All this proves one thing to us.
So long as we do one thing like
this, with no conscious effort, so
we can do everything else. It is the
result of working together as a
team. Each one doing the job rather
differently but achieving results
that please the entire group when
ihe job is ultimately finished.
This is the sort of work which
has won for us, recognition all over
the country. No matter where we
go, people outside our work, con
sider us a bunch of privileged and
fortunate people with all the things
which we have.
In order to further display our
swell play ground, it would be a
fine idea for anyone taking pic
tures of any kind at Camp Sapphire
this year, to send them in to The
Echo for publication. The Editorial
Staff, we are certain, will welcome
your picnic pictures.

TIES
The Southern Railway Company
has come up with an appropriately-
named magazine, TIES, a monthly
publication which made its debut
this month. The magazine is well-
edited and its first number has a
good story on the company’s shops
at Spencer, N. C.
Here’s a poem from the Joy
News that is good, we think:
“WE MUST NOT FALTER NOW”
America today needs men
Of courage, and with vision clear.
To bring into our lives again
The spirit of the pioneer.
We need the statesmanship that
dares
To chaiienge rule and precedent!
We need the leadership that shares
And stimulates our discontent!
For there are higher goals to
gain.
And there is nobler truth to
learn
Before we ever can attain
The great rewards that we should
earn.
We must not falter on the way
Our fathers trod with steadfast
zeal!
America needs men today
To lead us toward a new ideal!
