Page 4 THE ECHO Food For Thought “Riding along over the arid wastes of New Mexico one summer evening in 1901, Jim White saw what appeared to be the smoke of a friendly campfire. As he approached the swirling column, he dis covered that it was not smoke but a rising cloud of millions of bats. The bats came from an opening in the ground, and when the column disappeared into the South, Jim White ven tured into the cavern. “The next morning he was awakened by the swirling of millions of wings, and the column rewound its way back into the security of the cavern. “Each day, even now, this activity takes place, punctual ly and unerringly. The bats leave the cave at sunset, fly over the Rio Grande, consume some eleven and a half tons of insects, and at dawn return to the sanctity of the now famous Carlsbad Caverns. Bui each night the returning group is smaller, for owls arid preying animals exact their toll from the bat population. Eventually the species may become ex tinct. “Like the bats, we human beings venture forth each day, dash about our business, then turn back to the security of our homes. As with the bat popula tion, each day a toll is exacted and the group diminishes.” Each day some of the mil lions of American workmen do not make the return trip home. They are killed or crippled in trattic and in accidents on the job. Unlike the bats, man has found the means of combating the destructive forces which beset him. Safety devices are as good as human ingenuity can make them, but a pair of safety goggles help you little if you wear them over your cap or dangling under your chin. Gloves worn in your pockets aren’t protecting your hands. Unsafe practices can in no way lengthen your span of life. Here at Ecusta, Champagne, and Endless Belt we have tried in every way we know to make your job as safe as any in the country. Our safety section is YOUR department and wel comes your suggestions. We’re thinking of keeping you in that stream of workers who report for work each day. ARE YOU THINKING THAT WAY TOO? BOWLING TROPHIES AWARDED WINNERS Amidst a round of applause, the Ecusta Bowling League trophies were presented at the Ecusta - Hazelwood baseball game. Master of Ceremonies, Jerry Jerome, very handily called out the names of the de partments that won their re spective awards. The first individual to step forward was Cicero Sterling, representing the Pulp Mill team, winner of the beautiful first place trophy. Hats off to these fellows for bowling such fine scores! Second place hon ors went to Captain Ted Schep- kowskii and his Champagne “B” team. These gentlemen have already started “gun ning” for the big prize next year. Captain Bruce Reynolds very proudly came forward and took away the third place trophy. His Maintenance team will centainly bear watching in the next battle for top hon ors. Aside from the three big trophies, there were also some smaller but just as important individual pirzes. Winners and awards as as follows: High Set, Bruce Reynolds, Mainten ance ; High Average, Ralph “Knuckleball” Morris, Pulp Mill; Second High Average, Bruce Reynolds; Third High Average, Wade Scroggs, Pulp Mill; High Game, Pete Eberle, of the Main Ofi^ice. Yard Crew Defeats Office In Ball Game Inter - department baseball started off with a bang Wed nesday afternoon when Tony’s Yard Crew swamped the Office outfit to the tune of 9 to 3. Sec ond baseman, Poore, was the leading hitter for the day. His home run and double were a big factor in the first win of the season. Lyda, on the mound for the winners, kept six hits well scattered. The shining lights on the Of fice team were Charley Mat thews, who robbed the boys of several hits in centerfield, and Hank Newbury, the chunker. Hank says that with a little more practice he will be able to quiet down some of this home plate crossing. ECUSTA GOLFERS LEADING LEAGUE Ihe Ecusta Golf Team, com posed of George Page, Ruei Hunt, Wayne Conn, Brooks Owen, Jack Wilber, Charles Russell, Fred Trefzer, John Peters, Roland Wilber and Bill Daley, is certainly doing a fine job in the newly organized In dustrial Golf League. From the opening tee-off, our boys have been riding the top and with out too many bad breaks in the next four matches, they should sail home with the bacon. A total of 41 points has been amassed by Ecusta over a per iod of five weeks. Every team of the League has felt the sting of defeat except Ecusta. The closest we have come to defeat was a tie match with the Cham pion Y of Canton. A great deal of credit for the good showing up-to-date can be placed on the shoulders of George Page, Fred Trefzer and Whitie Russell. These men have been shooting a very con sistent game from the opening match. Page is now in the lead for low score honors. The schedule calls for four more matches, one each with Asheville Hosiery, Southern Dairies, Enka and Beacon. The Beacon and Asheville Hosiery matches will be played on the Hendersonville Country Club course. The remaining matches will be played on the Municipal Golf Course in Asheville. HOSPITALIZATION In January and July of each year, Ecusta employees have the opportunity of enrolling de pendent members of their fam ilies in the Hospital Saving As sociation. Representatives of the Association will be here be tween the 4th and 15th of July to accept applications for fam ily memberships. An effort will be made to contact all married people who have been employ ed since January so that they may enroll their families. If any empolyee desires this pro tection for his family and if he has not been contacted by July 15th, he should get in touch with the Personnel Depart ment. Quite a few employees have married since January. They, too, are eligible for the family membership, and if interested should leave their names at the Personnel Office not later than July 15th.
