THE ECHO
HERE and THERE
MACHINE ROOM—SHIFT B
Ed Watson
Why hello there! Shift B Speaking!
Well, now I guess this is our Echo
debut, and as we break into the “Social
Column” we can’t help but be just a
little bit nervous. You know first
impressions and such? Anyway, we feel
quite pleased to be represented here
since this classifies us r,s one of that
noble group of public servants or propa
ganda workers (maybe just plain gos-
sipers—what?)
Tom Allen, our ever ingenious fore
man, has made quite an excellent step
towards making every moment count.
He has found that by organized work
ing, we can now change a felt in from
ten' to twelve minutes, or sometimes
eight; whereas, before we spent from
twenty to thirty minutes doing the same
job. If Tom keeps up his research on
time economy, we will probably be
gaining a minute or so instead of los
ing—or perhaps he will get to the
“hokus pokus—change” stage. Tom
will be glad to demonstrate for the
benefit of those “disbelievers”—who
ever they may be.
“Old Man River—that Old Man Riv
er”—or is it Little River, Ned? Ned
Bowman and a friend (let’s call him Mr.
X to save him from embarrassment at
home) seem to_be victims of that Old
Man River I mentioned. Oh well they
say those sisters are very pretty.
Mac Heaton went to Florida on his
last five days off—where to this time,
Mcic?
Several of us would like to know just
what is meant by the chin rubbing
Bart Charles and Charlie. Colwell do
in the presence of one another? What
about it, Bart?
Our good friend Veillancourt has
bought a home on Maple street. Good
for you my fran! Incidentally, he is
our eight minute man (on felts yeu
know). It paid off a crate of coca
colas, didn’t it No. 3 machine?
We wish to thank the company for
the new addition to our locker room.
It really is nice and we needed it very
much. We will probably have enough
lockers now to accommodate week-end
guests. Seriously though, we appre
ciate it no end.
Welcome, Mr. Glazener! Charles Col
well has changed departments and Mr.
Glazener is the new rewinder foreman.
Although we will miss Charles, we are
glad to have Mr. Glazener with us.
John Goolsby mentioned a group of
golf enthusiasts in last Echo. Well,
John we have several too and there
might be a possibility of working out
a club of some form. Anyway, we are
interested and that is the first step.
Jimmy Poteet can now eat normally
again. For a while there he dieted on
soup and such foods as didn’t require
chewing. Seems a pity to take those
dentists so seriously and have every
thing that means anything pulled, but
then Jimmy did lose weight and that
helped.
We are all very sorry to know tnai
Mr. Holloway, our No. 2 machine back-
tender, is ill and in the hospital. We
surely hope to see you V)ack with us
very soon, Mr. Holloway, and that
everything turns out fine.
Well I guess I’ve said enough for
one paper, however, if at any time you
hear anything I don’t, I’ll he expecting
you to “come across with it.
Be good.

On April 17th the wires on Nos. 2
and 3 paper machines were changed in
five hours. Both machines were ready
to start operating at the end of that
time. Suter and Denton were the key
men and it seems that this is a recorf
to be proud of. This competes with
machines having removable fourdrin-
iers.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Pittman and small
daughter, Jean, motored to Roanoke
Rapids for a short visit with Mrs. Pitt
man’s parents. Dan reports a fine
trip.
Howard Galloway, with a party or
friends, motored to W’^ashington via the
Skyline Drive and the beautiful Shen-
endoah Valley of Virginia. Howard
said that he and the entire party en
joyed the trip immensely.
Ed Vassey paid a visit back to the
old home town of Spartanburg several
days ago.
Ray Sterling was buying sun glasses,
gas and oil, maps, etc., for a trip to
Cherryfield (2 1-2 miles beyond Bre
vard). . ^ ,
On April 6th, at Lyday Memorial hos
pital, a little bundle from Heaven was
presented to Mr. and Mrs. David Price,
bringing the total to three boys. David
is Inspector on No. 1 Inspection Ma
chine.
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Corn announce
the birth of a bouncing baby boy on
April 27. Mr. Corn is employed as In
spector on No. 3 Inspection Machine.

On the northeast side of the Cham
pagne building next to the Hand Book
let is the Stitching Department. This
being the first time we have written
to the “Echo”, you may wonder what
we do. After the Rizla and Wheat
Straw books have been printed and cut
they are brought to us and by the aid
of modern machinery we stitch the rub
ber bands on them, passing through
several rollers, they are folded and are
then inspected and packed.
Stitching several thousand books a
day saves much time than by hand
and much faster production.
Several of the girls of the Stitching
Department have finally woke up aftei
seeing “Gone With The Wind,” and
Bob Clayton too, he only saw it four
times.
Lois Rickman has had an appendix
operation. We hope for her a quick
recovery and back with us soon.
Nell L'ance would have gone to see
“Gone With The Wind” but she couldn’t
lav her boolc down long enough.
Believe it or Not—^Louise Owen had
twelve thousand eight hundred book
lets stitched by lunch.
What’s wrong, Lillie, did 12:30 come
too soon and you didn’t get fresh lip
stick on?
Much progress has been made in the
past several months, one we are very
proud of is the new electrical clock,
another one we’ll be proud of is the
electrical fan that will serve for the
stitching and hand booklet.
Who says John Reid is timid? Saw
him making eyes at the girls just lots
of times.
Saw Teddy out th« other night with
the most attractive blonde.
Ask Edgar Garren what he did with
the cedar chest he bought.
Gladys McKinney dazzles us each
morning with a new hair
Mary Gillespie and Clyde Galloway
were quietly married on April 20th in
Pickens, S. C., Lewis. They
are both employed at Ecusta.
Suzanne Wiley, a new packer in the
M.'b.D. is doing fine. She never drops
y,er booklets any more.
We will all be glad to welcome back
to the M.B.D. Freddie Lee Wirtz. She
is in the hospital due to sickness.
The girls of the M.B.D. want to thank
the printers for not having spots
Tip Top.
If you haven’t seen Daisy Bowman
and Hazel Michael at lunch, just go in
the M.B.D. and you will find them hav
ing a regular picnic. Invite us all
over for lunch some time, Daisy and
Hazel.
I guess there isn’t much to be said
about Buddy Hunt. One of the M.B.D.’s
best mechanics—because he is on night
shift. Aren’t you glad. Buddy?
One girl asked another in the M.B.D.
is she was still cutting OCB papers.
She said why yes, can’t you tell by
looking at my eyes. What do you think
is a drunk.
Congratulations to the baseball team.
For a rather hastily organized bunch,
the results were excellent. Good luck
and lots of hits fellers.
Hey, Officer Cansier, don’t you ever
laugh? Cheer m! And send us in to
work with a smile.
The boys in Hendersonville have a
pinochle meeting every Friday night
We ought to have crying towels at
every meeting.
Attention Dr'vers: If you hear a rat
tling noise in back of you—it is Charlie
Siebert or Jimmy Dunn. If it happens
to come out of a ditch it must be Char
lie.
Joe Kornowski has a better fish
story than Harry R. Harry used to
fish with a rake but Joe used to fish
with a shovel.
I see Sam McCullough wearing a new
type turban.
We are glad to know that youn
Bob Margolis arrived in Switzerland
safely. To the few of us that knew
him more intimately he represents the
typical modern American youth, who
knows what he wants, and will let
nothing stand in his way towards com
pleting his education. Best of luck to
you Bob.
Ernie Kaltenbach is all smiles again.
His youngest son is back home after a
week’s .stay at the Patton Memorial
Hospital in Hendersonville, and is do
ing nicely.
Overheard in the locker room;
Bob: Did ya see, “The Wind Blew
It Away?”
Bud: You mean, “Away it Went, With
The Wind.”
Bob: Yeh! Some picture, huh!
We’ve heard of screwy song titles but
“BrtT'kr'eg is a Barg'ain Basement”
tops them all.
The local spring scene is one of the
loveliest we’ve ever witnessed. How
fast everything is growing, especially
our front lawn and the hedges. Also
the blisters on our hands, from trim
ming the hedg'es. OK, Toots, 111 weai
gloves the next time.
Someone should put a “Do Not Dis
turb” s'gn on Clarence Chappel. He is
in a daze since that 10 1-2 lb. baby
boy came at five o’clock on the morn
ing of April 27th. Both mother and
son are doing fine. Congratulations to
"Daddy” and “Mama.”
Why does “Tiny” Stansell blush so
when the name of a certain girl from
the Machine Booklet Department i;
mentioned. Maybe there is somethin*^
in the air.
' Don’t feel honored if Lewis Meecf'
calls you “smarty”. He says that to al'
the boys.
After a two week’s absence on account of ill
ness, we are glad to have George Buchanan
back to work again in the Job Printing Depart
ment.
