PAGE FOUR THE ECHO DECEMBER, 1947 ‘May We Watch It Grow Through TheYears’ Back in 1944 during the Christmas season, the bal sam tree shown here was planted on the cafeteria lawn and the appropriate inscription placed beneath it on a granite tablet. For three years now the tree has shown steady, healthy growth and in years to come it will be interesting to watch the continued devel opment of the beautiful tree. Perhaps you have already guessed the logical conclu sion to be drawn—that the tree in one sense can be compared to our company as it shows steady develop ment and growth through the years. Both the tree and our company are compara tively young, but their growth has been regular and un interrupted oOo Two Worthwhile Drives No more worthwhile campaigns are conducted during the year than the sale of Christmas seals and the March of Dimes drive. The response that they receive each year is indicative of the high regard with which they are held by the people of America. Only a few days remain now to purchase seals. Miss Dorothy Johnson of Chem Lab, who is treasurer of the local committee, requests that anyone who received seals in the mail and has not sent in his remittance to do so im mediately so that the final results of the campaign may be compiled. Beginning January 15 and continuing through Jan uary 30, the March of Dimes for polio sufferers will be in progress. Elsewhere in The Echo is information con cerning this great humanitarian effort. Join the MARCH OF DIMES The Ecusta Spirit Reaches Its Peak It’s not easy to write a Christmas editorial in ner that is new or different. We could relate the ;,]i story of Christmas for it is truly a beautiful one w thrills both young and old each time it is could attempt a treatise on peace and how the w should follow the principles set forth by the Peace, but that’s a mighty big and complicated suDJ j We could tell of the less fortunate countries and pew who would welcome for Christmas many of the ^ necessities of life which we take so much for granted. let’s come home to our own Western North Carolina > j fact, right to our own company to see the influence this joyous season. You’ve heard a lot of spirit, maybe as a member^j^^ an athletic team or some organization that was m , midst of some sort of campaign. It’s a frequentiy- term that sometimes is handled in an indefinite or i gible manner. In an effort to get a simple and u jj standable definition, a dictionary was consulted _ anu its rather long explanation are these words . . . ^ [fit iastic loyalty . . . also, characteristic quality, as the sp of an enterprise.” . With that definition in mind, let’s attempt to see makes up the spirit of Ecusta and how this spirit re its climax at this Christmas season. Without reservation, it can be said that it is a. spi^J j giving . . . giving to the Red Cross, March Jjly hospital, a college, to churches, perhaps a needy or to hospitalized veterans. It is a spirit of helpfulness, friendliness, cheerfuln^ and pride—pride in our families, our jobs, our comP ^ our schools, our churches and our communities—^pn all things that are upstanding and upbuilding. It is a spirit of progress, constantly moying ahead new buildings, new and improved machinery, and methods. _ It is a young, vigorous spirit for not only is ^g^op- pany young, but the personnel as well. While our P® |.j,e nel is under the average age of most industrial whole organization reflects the vigorous spirit of you'' It is a spirit of cooperation. There are those jj in America who would spread poisonous propagai^i _?_j ? J _ ^ m America wno would spreaa poisonous proptis" an attempt to divide our society into two factions an attempt to uiviue our suiiicLj- mtu thus create ill will and discord, but we have learned mutual respect and admiration work far better anything else. .yje It is an optimistic spirit, too, looking to the I jj' with confidence and a sense of security that not « industry offers. _ _ _ .jtli But, this is Christmas, and how does this tie w the spirit of this wonderful season? Simply this. -MO er time of the year is the spirit of giving, good jj operation, optimism, and friendliness so prevalent as j at Christmas. At its peak, this spirit carries us foS' into a New Year which promises to be a good and f perous one for us all. oOo Great discoveries and improvements invariably the cooperation of many minds. I may be given mI' having blazed the trail but when I look at the ^ js quent developments I feel that credit is due to rather than to myself. ^ P®* —Alexander Graham oOo I observe that there are two entirely differen (,,1 ories according to which individual men seek to in the world.
