ACROSS THE TRACKS

Ecusta’s annual "4th” celebration leaves many
pleasant and exciting memories for all who parti
cipate in its inviting fun. Your reporter spent the
day at Sapphire where she noticed—Jim Bren
nan anxiously awaiting a chance to shout "Bin
go”; Dr. Levy’s sweet daughter, Thea, and Dr.
Bryants curly headed son, Thomas, walking in the
traditional Baby Parade; Betty Brown waiting for
popcorn; John Goldberger enjoying the sunshine
by the lake with two bathing beauties—he not
only captured them but also $2.00 by playing ping
pong; Bob Rhyne and Frank Ferrell trying to catch
their breath after trying to keep up with their
cute daughters; David Sams playing a good game
of baseball; Joey Schlosser watching the Olin
Halls enjoying the lake; Frank and Georgina
Peschl strolling around the lake; and, Hilda and
Marshall Hunnicutt (the honeymooners) watch
ing the baseball game through rain and shine.
A few of us traveled during the "4th” for—;
Lloyd Harris went to Evansville, Indiana, where
he took his children to the Meskers Zoo. Lloyd
has many pictures to show that he stepped inside
the cages to capture pictures of the snarling tiger,
a performing elephant, mountain lions, etc. Betty
Brown got a suntan at Myrtle Beach. Bud Taylor
played golf in his home town of La Fayette, In
diana. Pete Muffat hiked for two days in the
Smokies where he encountered four bears who
during his absence opened tomato and orange
juice cans and spilled the juice on the ground.
Julia Morgan enjoyed boating and was lucky to
capture her car keys when they fell overboard. A1
Skinner spent the week-end in Highlands. Harry
Kolman vacationed in Savannah. Mr. Schur visit
ed Boston and in Connecticut. Bob Peckham went
on a two week Navy Cruise.
Last, but far from least, I have the great plea
sure of announcing the birth of William (Bill)
David Sams, Jr., born July 10th at Biltmore
hospital, weighing 7 lbs.-9 ozs. His parents are
Dot and David Sams. May he always be a great
source of happiness to you both—CONGRATU
LATIONS.
"ENDLESS SCOOP"
By Edna Mae McCrary
The fifth of July marked Endless Belt’s tenth
year of operation at its present location. Sid
Beecher is the oldest employee, having been with
the Company ten years June 24, at which time
he started setting up machinery for the opening
date. Mary Sue Thorne is another oldtimer, having
celebrated her tenth anniversary with the Com
pany July 13.
Everyone seems to have thoroughly enjoyed a
general vacation the week preceding and includ
ing the Fourth of July.
Those taking their annual vacations during the
month of July were as follows: Lucy Smith, who
enjoyed a trip to New Jersey, Gladys Arnett,
Mille O’Dell, Donna Sutton, Opal Whitmire and
Marie Whitmire.
It is nice to know that Amanda Powell is im
proving following a recent operation at Tran
sylvania Hospital.
Sophia Jones had as her guests the past week
her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Mayberry of Washington, D. C.
A "moving epidemic” has begun among some of
the girls in our department. Evelyn Morrow has
moved from Hendersonville to Brevard, Opal
Whitmire from Toxaway to Brevard and Johnnie
Stepp from Hendersonville to Brevard. We hope
they may be happy in their new location.
Why Marie Whitmire was so happy after her
week-end visit to Greenville? Don’t tell us—let
us guess.

We enjoyed the Fourth of July Picnic, but we
missed Mr. Straus very much.
It is nice having all of the fellows on the job
—none of them are vacationing this month.
Ector Capps reports a nice trip to Canada
while on his vacation last month, but he says
that there is no place like the hills of Western
North Carolina.
