INSPECTION NEWS Meet The Wife ...
BY Kenneth McDaris
Boy! That ground hog really
saw his shadow. Despite the ter
rible weather we have had, near
ly everyone got to work and on
time. Melvin McCormick went
"a courtin’” and slid off the
highway which caused him to
miss one day. Melvin Atkinson
walked to work rather than put
on chains.
"Shorty” Nicholson whose
picture and new Chevrolet
truck you saw in the December
Echo drove his new machine to
Florida for a vacation and we
bet he had a swell time.
D. L. Thorne has found a new
remedy for stomach ulcers. He
bought a new Studebaker and
forgot his ulcers. Almond Hall
bought a new Dodge pick-up.
Roy Head bought a Ford
coupe and Millard Teague
bought a Pontiac sedan, both
nice looking cars. Don’t for
get me, fellows, when you go
fishing.
Ernest Cagle and Craig
Snipes got tired hunting for oil
and bought coal heaters.
Lee Reid bought a new home
at Pisgah Forest, and Melvin
McCormick bought a new home
at Etowah.
Aside from February colds
our sick list includes Mrs. Hugh
Merrill, Mrs. Jake Hollis, Mrs.
Bob Mathews, James Keever’s
father, Mrs. Ralph S. Smith, and
Almond Hall’s baby. We hope
they will soon recover.
Miss Fay Martin and Howard
Lowing were recently married.
After a honeymoon in Florida
they will make their home in
Hendersonville. .
Orville and Inez Long are
spending their vacation moving
into their new home. Helen
Fullbright is spending her va
cation in Florida. Cecil Morri
son is also having a vacation
this month.
Our sympathy to Ray Byrd’s
wife who lost her father recent
ly and to Howard Lawing,
whose uncle died recently.
As you can see from these pictures ,health and happiness radiate
from the faces of the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Rhodes. This month Mrs. Rhodes is the center of interest in our
regular "Meet the Wife” feature. In the picture above, it’s an af
ter school snack for Richard, Jr., 5, Barbara 7, and Shirley Ann, 10.
After a bite to eat comes some fun as Richard, Jr. holds the group
in a state of expectancy as his balloon gets bigger and bigger. Mrs.
Rhodes is the former Leona McConnell and is a native of Murphy.
She makes beautiful clothes for the girls and like many Ecusta
wives, is an ardent canner in the summertime. Mr. Rhodes is in
the Machine Room and is a member of the Five Year Service Club.
We salute another fine Ecusta family!
