PAGE TWO THE ECHO March, 1947 News And Views From Our Departments Pulp Mill News By HELEN K. EVANS Vacation time is rolling around and all the fellows are making plans for an enjoyable one. It seems Paul Merck has to be first or not at all. He had a ner vous breakdown worrying about having his “Buick 8” repaired ana painted. It has been in a garage in Asheville and is still there from last reports. Wade Scroggs has at last been promised a GI house. He is plan ning to dig the foundation himself but odds against his doing this have been raised out of this world with no takers. Wade’s new house will be at Forest Hill. We want to welcome Clyde W. Murray back to the Pulp Mill after service with the U. S. Army. Clyde spent eight months in Ger many. Here is a tale of a dog that beats all tall tales ever told. This dog is owned by a fellow around David son River. The dog is so fast it can outrun a deer and after it catches the deer it cuts their throats. Can anyone beat this? If so, get in touch with Sam “Gud- ger” Passmore. An “opossum and sweet potato” breakfast was enjoyed the other morning by “Knuckle Ball” Morris, Bill Bryson, “Chuck” Ramer, Sam “Gudger” Passmore, C. B. Allison and Joe Norman. D. S. Winchester has purchased a farm and is repairing the place so he can move to it when he gets his vacation. “Chuck” Ramer has first chance on a pair of beagle pups from Red Edmonson’s Beagle Farm. “Chuck” wants to kill all the rabbits on the hill farm of his so he can have a garden. Russell Reese who has been re siding in Brevard has recently moved to Hendersonville. Lawrence Tipton, a member of the Pulp Mill bowling team, has recently shown great improvement in the clipping of pins, indicating that he must be doing some prac ticing. Chester Cagle is on vacation and ■we understand he is adding some rooms on to his house. The father of Walter Roberts, Digester Cook B, has been very ill in a Greenville, S. C., hospital, but has improved. One of the biggest and most courageous hearts that ever beat belongs to little Peggy Ann Glaze- ner, daughter of Walter Glazener, who is recovering from an attack of polio. Little Peggy can never be seen without her beautiful smile or ready laughter. The doctors say that Peggy will soon be well. She celebrated her 6th birthday Satur day, March 1st, and was greeted by many small friends. “Happy Birthday, Peggy!” The flu seems to be making wide inroads on all the employees and their families. Little Judy and Virginia Morris, daughters of Ralph Morris, have been sick but are much improved. We want to wish all the follow- Ine Pulp Mill employees “Happy Birthdav” for the month of March: Paul Merck. Carroll Metcalf, Rus sell Reese, Wade Scroggs and Na than Passmore. Mrs. A. V. Mathesori is recover ing from a serious illness which confined her to the hospital. A1 Ream, the roving Puln Mil’ renorter, returned from New York with no news evcr.nt that he had rather live in North Carolina—^to be epct, in Brevard. Could it be Lesson For 1948 INCOME TAX RETURN ?

Karl Kilpatrick has received some nice advice from Chester West on how to get a new car. Karl decided to keep his truck and give the advice to someone else.

The following Pulp Mill employ ees have joined the landed gen try: Hovey Waldrop, Evorette Whitmire, Fritz Merrill and a good many more who are at present working to finish the task.
