Page 2 THE ECHO Novemb^ THE ECHO Orgran of Employees at Ecusta Paper Corporation, Champagne Paper Cor poration, and Endless Belt Co. Published Monthly at PISGAH FOREST, N. C. Printed by Champagne Job Printing Department. Telephone Operators Prayer O Lord, for all we’ve done today To cause annoyance and delay. To make a person rant and rave For all wrong- numbers we have gave. And gave and gave when they’d be cryin’ For five-three-seven, thrrree-seven- niyun. For all the needless irritation When we cut off conversation. The cusses'—calls for information Because of us—the slaps and slams— The smashed receivers, darns and damns. We’ve caused this day—O Lord for these And all our sins—excuse it please! (In a recent issue of the paper we had a poem “Graveyard Blues’" which has inspired another one—‘‘The Tele phone Operators Prayer.” Poems or articles of this type are welcomed. Please let us know who submits the articles, your name will not be pub lished if you object.—Editor). READY FOR PROMOTION By Edgar A. Guest There’s going to be a vacancy above you later on. Some day you’ll find the fore man or superintendent gone. And are you growing big enough, when this shall be the case, To quit the post you’re holding now and step into his place? You do the work you have to do with ease from day to day. But are you getting ready to deserve the larger pay? If there should come a vacancy with bigger tasks to do. Could you step in and fill the the place if it were offered you. Tomorrow’s not so far away, nor is the goal you seek. Today you should be training for the work you do next week. The bigger job is just ahead, each day new changes bring— Suppose that post were vacant now, could you take charge of things? It’s not enough to know enough to hold your place today, It’s not enough to do enough to earn your weekly pay. Some day there’ll be a vacancy with greater tasks to do— Will you be ready for the place when it shall fall to you? Over 500 Workers (Continued From Page One) Board was from James Paul Morrow, Filter Plant Operator at Ecusta. Jimmie’s rank num ber in the county was 19. An advisory Board has been appointed with members from every section of the county to assist registrants in filling out the questionnaires. Following is a list of members of the Ad^ visory Board: Kin McNeill, Brevard Col lege; Lewis P. Hamlin, R. H. Morrow, R. L. Gash, Alex H. Kizer, Ralph H. Ramsey, E. H. McMahan, Ralph R.

While it is not compulsory that assistance be obtained from one of these persons attention is called to the fact that the questionnaire must be certified before a Notary Pub lic, Justice of the Peace, Clerk of the Court or a member of the Advisory Board. Atten tion is also called to the fact that the questionnaire should be filled out with ink or on a typewriter. THE AMERICAN’S CREED I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers we derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a re public; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. The American’s Creed by Wil liam Typer Page was adopted by an Act of Congress, April 6, 1918. In 1918 the United States Post Office Department in augurated the first air mail service, which was between Washington and New York, a distance of 218 miles. Cafeteria (Continued From Page One) which faces the street, pres ent plans call for a stone ter race with steps leading to the roadway. Also at this end of the building will be a large stone chimney. An open veranda is planned for the side of the building nearest the gate house. At the rear end of the veranda a can teen at which cold drinks, cigarettes, etc., may be had, will be located. The interior of the building is to be finished in knotty pine with a pine-beamed ceiling and a tile floor. This type of in terior finishng should give a pleasing appearance and with the large stone fireplace at the end of the room the interior should be most attractive. Every effort is being made to make this building not only a useful addition but also one that will be pleasing and at tractive in its appointments. The building has been de signed so that it can easily bo made available for movies, dances or social gatherings in the evening. This feature of the use of the building should find a real place in the life of the community. Much of the detail of the operation of the cafeteria— such as time of meals and num ber of meals served each day —will of necessity have to be determined later by the de mand which will be made upon it after it is in operation. This much is certain—the equipment will be of the best and most modern design and the meals will be served at actual cost. It is intended that the food and the service shall be the best that can be had and at as reasonable cost as pos sible to those taking advantage of this service. The cafeteria building has been designed to seat more than 350 people so that there will be ample table space for those who bring lunch as well as those who buy it at the cafeteria. In fact one of the reasons for the addition of the canteen was the desire to pro vide a convenient place where those who prefer to bring their lunch could supplement it. The company is building the cafeteria with the hope that it will provide a pleasant, at tractive place to eat and a gathering place which will prove a source of pleasure for all.
