PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE — Marse Grant, F. S. Best Raymond F. Bennett, Walter K. Straus, J. 0. Wells, W. M. Shaw, H. E. Newbury, t » + — - “Hello” — Password To Friendship In the hustle and bustle of the day’s work we are all apt to lose sight of the simple things that make for friend liness and good fellowship ... the little courtesies that make the day brighter and the hours move faster. When a fellow employee is home ill, it takes but a jiffy to ask him, on his return, how he feels. If you learn that his children are ailing, a question showing your interest in their welfare builds a closer bond of friendship. But such expressions of interest needn’t be confined to incidents of sickness and difficulties. There are always moments of happiness that most every person wants to share with his fellow men . . . such as buying a new home or a car, taking a trip, an addition to the family, and so on. Best wishes on such occasions are always in order and you yourself are bound to feel a glow of warmth as you congratulate your associates on their good fortune. TTien, of course, there is always the customary “Hello” that no one should allow themselves to forget. What a cheerless world this would be if we neglected this simple greeting. It’s one of the best lifter-uppers man ever created and a chance to use it should never be overlooked. For, in reality, “Hello” is more than a greeting ... it is a symbol of the ties of friendship that give us the eter nal hope and faith that the world of tomorrow will be a better world. oOo — Let’s All Support Them As another sports season is here, it is in order, we think, to direct your attention to the summer program of sports sponsored by the Athletic department. Ecusta’s baseball team launched its 1947 season Saturday and the softball- ers move into action Friday night. May 2nd. The golfers started their hoofing Sunday, April 20, and have a full schedule ahead. Tennis will enter the picture a little later. In the sports section of this issue, you will find sched ules of baseball, softball, and golf for the coming season. We suggest that you clip the schedules and make every effort to be on hand at the contests, thus lending your sup port to the success of our teams. After all, our presence at the games is certain to have an encouraging effect on the performances of the men playing. News Told Briefly (Continued From Page One) 14-16 and along with J. 0. Wells attekided a similar meeting in Knoxville April 23. Gil Coan, the former machine tender here, and subject of a feature in last month’s ECHO, has been sent to Chattanooga by the Washington Senators. Sports writers predict he will be back in the; major leagues before mid-summer, as he is blasting the baU hard at present. Employees of our three com panies contributed $1,342.00 to the Transylvania County Red Cross drive.

STRAUS (Continued From Page One) the Gaming Rooms. We only watched, as Mr. Straus and I feel we would rather give our money to the deserving, and that is not being sanctimonious either. “Mr. Straus and I are very brown. “We miss our friends very much. Wish we had all of you near to see all of these sights. We do want to share it.” NEW INSPECTION (Continued From Page One) tions. Sixteen Rewinders There will be sixteen rewinders in the Inspection department ar ranged in four rows, four rewind ers to each row. There will also be a rewinder for fine papers. Hot and cold water will be provided between each two rewinders, thus enabling inspectors to wash the splice rods frequently in comform- ity with our usual cleanliness ef forts. Air and water have also been provided at each rewinder. A tram rail hoist will provide service over each line of rewind ers. The movement of the paper in the new building will be as fol lows: Movement Described As the jumbo rolls come frotn the paper machine, they will be loaded on to dollies and trans ported across the machine room by an electric mule to the elevator. The new elevator, one of the big gest ever installed in the South, is completely automatic and is capable of carrying ten tons. As the rolls come off the elevator, they will be weighed and duplicate ticket made of the weight, one going to the inspection desk, the other back to the machine tender. Then the rolls will be hauled to the loading end of the rewinder. When the Master rolls come off the rewinders, they will be loaded on the dollies and pushed to scales just outside the door where they will be weighed. Then they will be taken to the Finish ing department for slitting. The old Mill Office adjoining the In spection room will be the Con trol room for the Inspection and Finishing departments. New Time Clock A separate time clock for the Inspection department is being installed, thus making it more ac cessible. Mr. Bob Matthews’ of fice will be located in the north east corner of the first floor. The pneumatic tube system which is already playing such a vital role in our plant will con nect the Inspection departmeint with many other parts of the plant, including the main office. The completion of this build ing represents another step that our company has taken in its pro gram of expansion and all Ecus- tans will look upon it as a sym bol of this growth. Everyone here should have pride in our enlarge ment program, realizing that such progress is another step to ward our aim of producing the best quality paper under the best possible working conditions. housing—If the modem apart ments get any smaller a man will have to marry a wifette to live in it.
