Sure would have been nice to have tasted some of the good, looking homemade jellies, etc., at the big Harvest Festival. The canned fruits and vegetables, and the fresh ones, too, looked very appetizing. Looks as if everyone will have plenty to eat this winter judging from the displays at the Festival.

Kenneth is wide awake . to the happenings in the Inspection department, while Andrew “covers the waterfront”, meaning, of course, the Filter Plant. Both men show a great interest in their reportorial work, for which The Echo and members of their departments are most grateful. In addition to being a talented and original writer, Harrell came through with flying colors in the Harvest Festival. After coming close last year, Andrew and his fine family put forth that extra effort this summer to emerge as No. 1 Ecusta gardeners for 1947.
