Page 4 THE ECHO RECREATIONATNOONI AUSETF0RTHEB0W11NGBAN(HJET Ping Pong Popular; Badmin ton Courts To Be Con structed Ping pong has become a real inter est, particularly at lunch hour and we have seen (and heard) some very fine matches in progress. Unfortu nately, we have space for only two tables and this makes it difficult to provide each person who wishes to play or learn to play, with facilities. We are asking the “Ping-Pongers” to graciously share time and facilities which will make possible a greater number of active participants. As soon as Mr. McCann is inveigled into stealing a few hours from his var ious and sundry occupations, we may find the ping pong problem alleviated somewhat. At present we are making arrangements for two double bad minton courts which will be located to the east of the cafeteria. These courts should be ready for use some time within the next month. As you know, equipment is costly and some times very difficult to obtain. We appreciate your cooperation in the careful and respectful handling of all equipment and facilities. Interdep’tmental Base- Ball League Orgiuiized At a baseball meeting in the Mill Office on May 11th, an interdepart mental league was organized and a schedule drawn up for the summer months. The league will consist of eight teams and it was necessary to combine some departments as shown below, in order to have an adequate number of players. 1. Landscape, Filter Plant, Store house and Office. 2. Maintenance. 3. Physical Lab., Chem. Lab., and Inspection. 4. Finishing. 5. Champagne. 6. Refining. 7. Yard Crew, Warehouse and Ma chine Room. 8. Pulp Mill. The season opened on May 22nd and will run through August 22nd, with double-headers of five innings each being played each Friday and Saturday. The first game of the double-headers wiU start at 5:15 P The schedule for the first four weeks is as follows: May 22nd—1st game—Landscape vs Maintenance. May 22nd—2nd game — Physical Lab. vs Finishing. May 23rd 1st game—Champagne vs Refining, May 23rd—2nd game—Yard Crew vs Pulp Mill. May 29th—1st game— Maintenance vs Finishing. May 29th—2nd game — Landscape vs Physical Lab. May 30th—1st game—Refining vs pulp Mill. May 30th—2nd game—Yard Crew vs Champagne. , June 5th—1st game—Phyiscal Lab vs Champagne. June 5th—2nd game—Landscape vs Yard Crew. _ June 6th—1st game—Finishmg vs Refining. June 6th—2nd game— Maintenance vs Pulp Mill. June 12th—1st game—Landscape vs Champagne. ^ June 12th—2nd game — Physical Lab. vs Yard Crew. June 13th—1st game— Maintenance vs Refining. June 13th—2nd game—Finishing vs pulp Mill. The next issue of the ECHO will carry a complete schedule for the season as well as standings of the teams and highlights of the games played. The above picture was taken just before the guests arrived for the long anticipated Bowling-Banquet. After several postponements, a conven ient date for everyone was decided upon, and from all reports everyone had a marvlous time. There were 120 people in attendance and our new band made its debut, which turned out to be just as good as all the publicity it had r^eiyed theretofore The band is' composed of 30 members, and is directed by Mr. John Eversman, who played violin solos, accompanied by Fred Williams. The music was a real treat, and it was quite evident that the players have spent much time practicing. Naturally, we were all very proud of their performance. The Decorating Committee is certainly due credit for the appearance of the Cafeteria. Mrs. Thelma Alexander, Chairman of the Committee, was ably assisted by Lita Steppe and Fred McCann and his men. The decora tions were patrioticly styled, and really gave the impression of a banquet hall rather than our own Cafeteria. The food was served by Authur Heffner and our other colored boys from the office, and with nary a bobble! We should have known about their abilities for serving during the Superintendent s Convention here last fall. Favors were donated by Ed McCoy of the Contennial Bowling Alley, cute little bowUng pins that will certainly lengthen the memory of all our “hits” and “misses” during a most enjoyable bowling season. Mr. McCoy has seen us “through it all,” and we want to show our appreciation of his in terest and support. Weren’t we thrillingly surprised to see what the Brevard Merchants had awarded our out-standing bowlers in each league. Such useful pnzes were certainly appreciated and will surely inspire a better season next fall. Thanks Merchants, the lucky ones have already thanked you in person but here’s just a reminder that we do remember, and are impatiently awaiting our next season. , Rodney Bryson’s Band of Asheville played the dance music and cer- tainlv gave us a good performance. We didn’t know that there were so many good dancers at Ecusta, and it seemed as if they all enjoyed the dancing. So in closing let me speak for a number of people in saying that if postponements make Bowling Banquets as good as our first one, we wiU take the next one late, too. May, 1942 The Taming Of Some Few Into the peaceful slumber valley that encompasses the picturesque seat of the Henderson County Government, swiftly advanced a blood-thirsty horde of savages, their weapons still drip ping with the blood of recent victims. Bombastic in their lusty victory cry» egotistical because of former victor* ies that had swept aside all opposition) they invaded the sanctuary of the low ly “Hoodlums.” Like Napoleon in 1815. in their arrogance they had failed to train and prepare for the conditions under which they must do battle witn these once conquered people. With weapons as old as the hills that sur- rounded this paradise, the Henderson* ville “Hoodlums” paired their eve^ blow and finally caused their disora- erly retreat with only the echo oi their excuses remaining to mark where the body lay. Thus ended another chapter of the “Feud of the hills” be tween the mighty “Champagne ^ Stars” and the rugged “HendersonvUW Hoodlums”. , The smoke "of battle has cleareo. Peace once more reigns over the val ley. The celestial stars winked at eacn other that memorable night as they observed the smile that all night l^o lighted the countenance of that Teuton who had so courageously his small band to victory over sucn overwhelming odds.
