PAGE FOURTEEN THE ECHO NOVEMBER, 111^ Total Of 224 Blankets Presented To Babies Since Plan Started Jan., 1946 Control-Inspection Leads In Stork Derby Over Pe riod Of Two Years QUINBY HARRIS is a fine example of the 224 junior Ecu- stans who have made their der but into the world since Jan uary 1, 1946, the date that our company started presenting beautif^, 100 per cent wool blankets to all new arrivals. Quinby is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Harris (Research) and he was born April 15, 1946. Lessons On Living Learn to laugh—a good laugh is better than medicine. Learn to attend to your own business. Few men can handle their own well. Learn to tell a story. A well- told story is like a sunbeam in the sick room. Learn to say kind things—no body ever resents them. Learn to avoid nasty remarks— they give neither the hearer nor the speaker any satisfaction. Learn to stop grumbling. If you can’t see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide aches with a smile —nobody is interested anyway. Learn to keep trouble to your self—nobody wants to take it from you. Above all, leam to smile — it pays! How many additions would you say have been made to the grow ing junior Ecusta family since Jan. 1, 1946? Would you guess 100, 150, 200? Those of you who would ven ture to estimate around 200 would be nearest to the correct number —224. Contrary to the national average, the boys outnumber the girls 126 to 98 which is a decided advan tage. The Control department leads with 20 boys and 18 girls while Maintenance and Machine Room are next with a total of 27. The January 1, 1946 date is used because that is the date when the plan was started to give blankets to all new babies. To every new arrival goes a beautiful 100 per cent, virgin wool, crib size blan ket. In keeping with the color schemes, naturally it’s blue for the boys and pink for the girls. Accompanying each blanket is a letter of congratulation from Mr. Harry H. Straus. Since the blanket idea was in augurated, two parents have ben- efitted from the plant twice. Mr. and Mrs. Liston Hughey became the proud parents of Liston, Jr. on January 10, 1946, and Mary Joanne was born September 7, 1947. Michael arrived January 11, 1946 to live with Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Metcalfe and Donald Terry was born May 5, 1947. Two sets of twins are included in the 224. Harry and Larry Day were born on October 1, 1946 to Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Day (Main tenance) and Sam and Samietta Williams arrived October 16, 1946. The father, Samuel, is employed in Champagne. By departments, the new ar rivals are as follows: Control, 20 boys, 18 girls; Machine Room, 19 boys, eight girls; Maintenance, 20 boys, seven girls; Champagne, 14 boys, 11 girls; Pulp Mill, 14 boys. Beautiful Murals Placed In Lobby Of Personnel Dept. Some of Western North Caro lina’s most beautiful and famous scenic attractions have been im pressively pictured in large mu rals which have been recently placed in the lobby of the Per sonnel department. Sometimes it is necessary for employees or friends of the com pany to wait in the lobby of the Personnel department for five or ten minutes and since the placing of these large photographs, this time can be spent in admiring scenes which have spread the fame of Western North Carolina all over America. The addition of these large photographs, measur ing approximately three by four feet, makes the Personnel depart ment lobby one of the most attrac tive spots in our entire mill. The huge pictures were made by Elliott Lyman Fisher, well- known photographer of Asheville who specializes in such murals' His works can be found in banks, and other business establishments all over the South. Included in the ten pictures is a striking scene taken at; Camp Sapphire. Other familiar scenes in elude the Craggy Gardens in full bloom, Mt. Pisgah and The Rat Looking Glass Falls, and two scenes of our own Davidson River.
