LC.S, Courses Again Available To Veterans Under a new contract recently completed with the Veterans Administration, the International Correspondence Schools is again accepting new enrollments of veterans under the G.I. Bill of Rights. Veterans who have been inactive in their courses may now re-enter training providing au thorization is received from the V. A. Office hav ing jurisdiction over their training. Due principally to the fact that the demand for I.C.S. courses became so heavy, the I.C.S. was forced to cease enrolling new veteran students for a few months. Now the school is again accept ing new enrollments. More than 400 courses are offered, many of them of a technical nature, but business, college and high school subjects are also offered. Ecusta veterans who are interested in I.C.S. courses are invited to contact the Personnel Office for com plete information. The Echo Gets Around You can never tell where or when a copy of The Echo will turn up. For instance— A delegate to the Blue Ridge Conference on Industrial Relations the last of July approached an Ecustan at the meeting and questioned him as to what kind of an agreement we had with the Southern Railway. "What do you mean?,” the Ecustan queried him further. "Well, on the train coming up here to Blue Ridge, a group of us went back to the club car to relax and read a bit. After scanning the car for something to read, the only thing we could find was a copy of THE ECHO. And you can be assured it was thoroughly read by the time it made the rounds.” It’s still a puzzle to us how an Echo turned up in the Salisbury-Asheville coach, but it’s good to know that we are picking up some additional readers even if they didn’t have much choice as to what they read! PROMINENT VISITOR. Mr. Jas. A. Gray, chairman of the executive committee of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., is shown here with Mr. Harry H. Straus as the two look over a slitter in the Finishing Department. Mr. Gray was a recent visitor here and was taken on a tour of the plant. FOLK FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 30 The 21st annual Mountain Folk Festival, ori ginally scheduled for August 5, 6, and 7, has been postponed until September 30, it has been announced by officials of the event. The change in date was made because of the polio situation in Asheville. The Ecusta Square Dance team, Festival cham pions last year, will be back to defend the title as will our string band which placed second in the competition last year. ROBERT SMITH DIES IN WRECK Deepest sympathy of their many friends here is extended to the Thomas Smith family of Bre vard on the recent death of their son, Robert, who was killed in a highway accident between Cashiers and Highlands on Wednesday night, July 28. The funeral was held Friday afternoon, July 30, at the First Baptist Church and the large number of floral tributes was an indication of the high esteem with which the young man was held. 11
