bones softer than metal. James Cox was waylayed by one of the fancy named jobs along the same line as arthritis which knocked him out of commission for quite a while, but fortunately he too has returned to work. We never did get the straight of the story con cerning Jack Wilber out on the golf green look ing for a lost golf ball and finding a large quan tity of bees instead. "Hank” Newbury has filled in for us a lot of the missing information. OFFICE BITS By Alex Duris The weather of every day living seems to be freshening up a bit, bringing with it a promise of better things to come. The Korean Truce or Peace Treaty which ever you choose to call it, gives hope that we may be spared an other world-wide war. Come to think of it, neither vanquished or victor wins. The general increase which reached the pay en velopes of Ecusta employees was another agree able experience. For normally hot August, we have been enjoying rather cool nights with the mercury dancing around the low fifties several times. There is only one really dark cloud in the sky and that is for the school gentry. Soon vacation will be over and carefree days will be exchanged for the more important and serious days of ac quiring an education. Charles and Reba Russell announced the ar rival on August 5 th of Carolyn Legatee who tipped the scales at 9 lbs. plus. Congratulations, both of you!

We understand that Mr. Baker had to seek relief in Central Park, from the awful heat. Virginia Ellis had a wonderful tims at Myrtle Beach, but also acquired a not so wonderful sun burn. I still maintain that going to the beach should require a minimum of six weeks—five weeks to get used to it, and the last week to en joy it! George Heyman and family visited Mr. Hey- man’s parents in the vicinity of Elizabeth, New Jersey. Martha Fraser was another of the gang to en joy a vacation in August. At this writing, we could not learn her vacation spot. Arthur Lindley, Mrs. Lindley, daughter, son-in- law and that very important person.

C., and points in Western North Carolina during their vacation. Correction!!! In last months issue of The Echo it was reported that Charley Cook had gone fish ing but was not bragging on his luck. On subse quent trips, his luck improved and he got some very nice catches. Noticed a couple of rigs rigged up around Jean Chambers home. She says that they are drilling for water. We know better—it is oil they are looking for! Every man knows how a wife should be man aged, but few seem to be able to act on the knowledge Our lowest national debt was in 1840—21 cents per person. Today it’s the highest—more than $1,700 for each of us. 23
