Minute Interviews
Question: “What is your opin
ion of tile women’s new fash
ions which are causing so much
comment?”
ARTHUR BOWEN, Champagne
Job Printing: “I
don’t think wom
en should wear
long dresses.
They were for the
horse and buggy
days. If they are
going to wear
long dresses, what
will they do with those modern
bathing suits? I think women are
too beautiful to be hidden under
a long skirt; and besides, the next
thing you know, they’ll be adding
hoops and bustles—and how would
we men get around???”
News From Our Departments
MERRITT GALLOWAY, Fibre
Warehouse: ‘I’m > -
definitely against
the new styles in
women’s clothes,
and I think most
women are, too.
The longer dress
makes them look
too tall and thin. It would also
mean more money out of a man’s
pocket to buy a new outfit; how
ever, it would eliminate the wolf
whistle so commonly heard today.”
ARTHUR LINDLEY, xMain Of
fice: “In my opin
ion, this idea of
lengthening wom
en’s dresses is
horrible. To be
gin with, the
women I have
seen wearing
these newfangled dresses would
not cause anyone to whistle, and
I, for one, would be tempted to
take a pair of scissors and cut any
long dresses bought by my wife
back to the old fashioned. The new
fashion is out with me!”
HAROLD ORR, Pulp Mill:
“Speaking for my
self, as well as
the other male
population, we all
agree that beauty
should be pro
tected but n 0 t
hidden complete
ly just because of someone’s idea in
Paris or New York. Besides, look
at the extra cost for materials!’

Here we go again with some
sparks and flashes from the Pow
er department.
First, we would like to thank
the company for a very nice de
partmental party. The food was
abundant and good and, of course,
we always enjoy bingo.
We want to thank the company
for the raise as announced Friday,
September 12. It is a privilege to
work for a company which is so
aware of the problems of its em
ployees.
We are sorry to report that Mrs.
Bill Lovry is a patient in the Tran
sylvania hospital.
Morris Wa.rd has returned to
work after a two weeks vacation in
Florida.
Mr, and Mrs. Sam Kent have
moved into their new home in Col
lege Heights. When is the house
warming, Sam?
Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have a new
house under construction. Hurry
it up, Sherman. Don’t let it be too
long between house warmings.
Anyone going fishing and need
ing some bait contact Jim Connell
at the Boiler House. He went fish
ing recently and didn’t use a^ll of
his grass hoppers.
We regret to report that H. Med
ford’s father, Mr. E. W. Medford,
who used to be power supervisor,
is under the care of a doctor. We
hope you have a speedy recovery,
Mr. Medford.
Everyone enjoyed the Harvest
Festival and we’d like to congrat
ulate all the winners because the
competition was keen and the win
ners had to be good to win.
JUST A REMINDER: The squir
rel season is now open. Everyone
should be careful with those guns,
r.nd those tall tales, also.
Well, this about winds up our
news for this time. Hope next
month we can give you more and
better news from our department.

Fun and good food was enjoyed
by all at the departmental picnic
August 27 and 29.
Eva Sentelle spent a day at the
Fair in Hendersonville, Friday
September 12.
Marietta Rozier went through
the Smokies the week end of Sep
tember 12 and stopped over night
at Gatlinburg, Tenn.
Raymond Nicholson visited
in Greenville, S. C., September 13.
Buvee Capps was in Spartan
burg, August 18, shopping.
Dorothy Johnson spent her va
cation “just loafing” in Penland,
N. C.
Edith Ridenhour spent her five
days off the first week in Septem
ber in Charlotte with her parents.
Anna Holliday’s husband is at
home getting along nicely after
undergoing an operation at the
Transylvania Community hospital.
Ricie Robinson has a dog—an
Irish Setter. The Lab gets a day
by day description of its activi
ties.
Since the advent of September
and the last issue of The Echo,
many memorable events have
transpired. I hope I can recount
them in part and with some de
gree of accuracy.
On September 1st., or at least
the week of that date, Sam Mat
thews took a cross country jaunt
to the New England states to re
new old acquaintances and—, well
Sam says a good time was had by
all.
Jason Orr has likewise had the
travel fever and on the past long
week end journeyed to Daytona
Beach, Fla., for a few days of
that gorgeous sunshine and beach
moon light. He also reports lots
of fun and no regrets.
On Wednesday night, September
10th., the Power department and
the Store Room enjoyed a very
sumptous picnic and get together.
All who were able to attend re
port a very enjoyable evening of
entertainment and refreshment.
This is another of those rare oc
casions with which the employees
of Ecusta are blessed and in which
more of the members should make
greater effort to attend and sup
port. It is through these gather
ings that greater friendship, mu
Seen at the Hendersonville Fair
various faces in sundry places, and
among them were Lela Baum
gardner, Estelle Brotherton, Sher
rill Allison, Florence Snyder, Ruth
Sentelle, Lois Osteen and Mary
Henderson . . .
We regret that we had only one
prize winner in the Harvest Fes
tival, Violet Patterson. We hope
that next year there will be added
a department for handiwork and
needlecraft. Then the Endless girls
will be in the running, After all,
needlework is as much a part of
the fine art of home making as
gardening . . .
Evelyn Nelson, Edna Mae Mc
Crary and Lilar Reece say it is won
derful to be back on Days after
lending a helping hand to the new
Evening Shift for a couple of
months . . .
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Allison
and “The Twins” spent the first
week end in September in Nash
ville, Tenn. . . .
Jack Davies is recuperating nice
ly after a recent appendectomy.
We don’t think the girls should
worry too much about long skirts.
It looks as if this will be one sea
son that skirts will fall anywhere
between the knee and the ankle.
And South Carolina’s bachelor gov
ernor Thurmond said his reason
for thinking dresses should remain
short was obvious. Obviously, Betty
Grable has two obvious reasons.
Anyway, the men won’t have time
to notice the length of skirts so
much since by the same token
they may have their own troubles.
Mr. Fashion decrees that men’s
trousers must be shorter. Perhaps
the fashion experts would like to
see trousers and skirts the same
length, but we hope not! P. S. The
reasons are obvious. . . .
Alas, we were born under an
unlucky star! We haven’t heard
’ary a word about a Girls’ Bowl
ing League this year and just when
we have some of the former Cham
pagne Stars with us. Well, End
less Belt had the first bowling
team at Ecusta so we suppose we’ll
have to organize our team and get
going. Just in case any other de
partments feel the same way, our
telephone number is 263 . . .

Shift “A”
tual understanding, and coopera
tion are attained.
We hope many of you attended
the W.N.C. Fair and enjoyed the
usual midway of games of chance
and rides as well as the many ex
hibits of agriculture, livestock,
and handicraft. The exhibition was
very good considering that the
war years did not vent to any
showing of exhibits. However,
personally, I would say that Ecu
sta out shown the Fair in the num
ber and quality ,of exhibits as
displayed. Of course, as “Buck"
Best says, “Ecusta hasn’t yet
gone in for the livestock, poultry,
etc.”
I might add here that Mrs
Harrell and her boys are ve^
happy about having won out in
the Garden Festival and I too,
am very proud of them. They did
do a good job of it, didn’t they?
