Wells, W. M. Shaw, H. E. Newbury, Letters To And From The Editors Are You Taking Part? As we enjoy those summer outings at Camp Sapphire; or as we thrill at winning one of the attractive bingo prizes; or as we shout in support of our well-coached base ball team, we realize that such pleasures cost money. We are proud to be a part of a company that believes in, and sponsors, such a wholesome and well-rounded program of recreation and athletics. But this thought occurs to us—Are all Ecustans taking advantage of these splendid activities? We know many are, as evidenced by the good attendance at the movies, bingo parties and similar attractions; however, there are some who show little or no interest in such activities. In connection with this, Mr. Word, our vice-president and treasurer, made this comment the other day, “Our company spends thousands of dollars each year in main taining the plant and its machinery. No matter how well our plant and equipment is maintained, it would not sat isfy us, unless our people were healthy and happy. For this reason we also spend large amounts of money on our activities program to maintain the health and happiness of our employees. We want these activities to be enjoyed by all Ecustans. We strive to make the program varied so as to provide something of interest to every employee and his family. We want to sincerely carry out a basic company policy—That Ecustans work together and play together, and are happy at both.” In other words, our vice-president is saying, “Folks, we’re definitely sold on our employees’ activities program. We’re behind it 100% and we want you to be.” If you feel that additional activities could be added or changes made in the present ones, please let your opin ion be known to those in charge of planning and adminis tering the program. TTiey’re anxious to have a program that touches everyone of us. Won’t you help them attain this goal with your interest and suggestions? -oOo Aren’t You Proud You’re A Western North Carolinian? Few people in God’s great world are blessed with so many of nature’s countless gifts as are those of us in West ern North Carolina. Consider with us, if you will, just one or two reasons why few, if any, of us would exchange our lot for any other in the world. We live in a section where there is adequate industry and opportunity, yet the cramped feeling that must exist in crowded, highly-industrialized regions is not present. We enjoy the fruits of science and research, yet we are near enough to all of nature’s basic gifts—pure water, fresh air, radiant sunshine and stately forests—to remind us constantly who provides all of these “not-made-by-man” miracles. Really, now, aren’t you proud you’re a Western North Carolinian? SYMPHONY GROUP GUEST OF COMPANY Members of the North Carolina Little Symphony Orchestra were guests of the company at a luncheon held at the cafeteria J^pnday, March 24, The orchestra, which is now in the midst of a tour of the state, gave afternoon and night performances in Bre vard that day. March 28, 1947. Mr. Marse Grant, Editor The Echo Ecusta Paper Corporation Pisgah Forest, N. C. Dear Marse: In order that I can devote more time to recreational activities for Ecustans and their families, I am turning over to you my duties as Editor of The Echo. I do this, however, with many regrets, since the four years I have served in this caipacity have, been wonderful ones. The assistance of my staff during this time, as well as the cooperation of all our em ployees, have made it possible for us to publish a paper which is wholly an employee publication representing the interests and feelings of our employees. The Echo has grown to such an extent that it is no longer a part time job. It is a very important full time one which needs an editor .who can devote his entire time to it. The assistance of our staff of interested reporters has made il possible for The Echo to improve and progress during the past few years. I know that you will have complete cooperation and assist ance from them and, with proper guidance, I feel that the future of The Echo is unlimited. Please be assured that even though I am leaving the staff of The Echo, my interests are still there and I hope you will call upon me for any help I can give you. With every wish for your suc cess. Cordially yours, John D. Eversman, Retiring Editor, The Echo. March 28, 1947. Mr. John D. Eversman Ecusta Paper Corporation Pisgah Forest, N. C. Dear John: Thank you for your nice letter. I appreciate your offer of assist ance and you may be sure I wiL take advantage of it. I am proud to become a member of the growing Ecusta family and am looking forward to knowing just as many of the folks here at possible. I realize that a reportei >:annot sit at his desk and wait for he news to come in, and with this fact in mind, I plan to spend much time in the plant. One of the many things that has mpressed me about Ecusta is the high type personnel employed here and in the future I hope to learr about them, their families, theii hobbies, and their other interests Then, in turn, we plan to let other Ecustans in on the information by way of the Echo. The fact that our company has made the editorship of The Echo a full time job, thus giving you more time to give to recreation and mu sic, is just one more convincing reason that our company is ex panding. It is a pleasure to be come a part of such a young and energetic organization and I so licit the cooperation of everyone here in making The Echo a publi cation of which we will all be proud. Yours very truly, Marse Grant, Editor, The Echo. In Hungary, a man convicted of bigamy js fprced to live with both wives.
