Page 2 THE ECHO September, 1942)5 THE ECHO Organ of Employees at Ecusta Paper Corporation Champagne Pa^er Corporation and Endless Belt Company Editor Miss Justine Williams Published Monthly at PISGAH FOREST, N. C. Printed by Champagne Job Printing Department. Books Corner “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”- We wonder if, as the cold, bleak days of winter stretch ahead, our thoughts might turn to a cozy fireside, an easy chair and a good book. We can sup ply that good book ... a book for al most any mood. Should you like a journey to a warm South Sea island where the palm trees sway (and I did say palm trees) while outside your own windows the trees bend to howling north wind, then we have the book for you. Perhaps you would like to escape to the wild and wooly West and ride the range to the tune of a cowboy song. We can supply you with any number of Western thril lers. On our non-fiction shelves is a world of knowledge—an education in an interesting, readable form. And, don’t overlook the biographies. We can do much to enrich our own lives by reading about the really great people of all times. So, get your lists made out and when you have de cided how to spend your reading time during the months ahead come in to see us and maybe we can suggest other books you might like to add to your list. Recently we placed an order for a number of juvenile books and we hope that you employees who have youngsters at home will take advan tage of some of the really fine read ing material available for them in our library. It is our desire to make the library a real source of enjoyment, not for you alone, but for you and your families. ANY BONDS TODAY? Machine Booklet Department Florence S. made an important trip to Alabama to see “the one and only” that is in the Army there, and came back a married lady. Now, girls, take Florence’s trip for an ext».mple and quit taking so many trips to see these soldiers and sailors . . . Violet must have had a nice time on her trip because she came back looking happy. What did you see west of the Mississippi River that was interesting, Violet? .. . After all these years Clara B. has suddenly taken a notion to learn to be a packer. It isn’t as easy as it looks, is it Clara? .. . Guy is hav ing to work a little harder now that the other boys have transferred to other departments. A little work won’t hurt anyone, Guy . , . Maymie R. and Carolyn will soon be back to their favorite pastime of bowling. Come on girls, we want to win a cup this year—Even a soup bowl will do! Hand Booklet Seems as if the Hand Booklet Dept, has had several “long” week ends—quite obvious on pay day . . . We missed Marie Nelson while she was off on a two week’s vacation . . . Wonder why Tulene Deaver enjoys her trips home so much. Couldn’t be that she likes to ride the bus! . . . If many more boys in our dept, leave for the Army and Navy, “Chief” Rig- don might need some help. The Stitching Dept., especially, misses Jack Holden who left last week for the Navy. It’s nice to have Mr. Fen- wicke with us . . . I thought for a while that Lee Silvers had been trans ferred too but she’s just been to Louisiana to visit her husband again. Talking about transferring, this dept, just isn’t the same any more with so many of our girls now working on the rewinders, labs, etc. But those empty places are slowly being filled again. Kathryn Brigman from Asheville is among the newcomers . . . After an extended vacation, Mae Ashworth is back with a huge smile for everyone . What’s this I hear about those dollar bills, Lyday? Wouldn’t be counterfeit. I’m sure . . . Did you see those nifty little flags Thelma B. and Hazel M. rigged up? Shows how they feel about the whole thing ... If any of the hair nets in Stitching get out of order, Nell Lance is the proper authority on repairing them. Ask Louise Owen ... I hear some talk about bowling. Wont be long now! Refining Blockers Bits The Copper Number Congo ^aii( In She . ilill the, Th Three people at Ecusta who are definitely interested in war bond percentages are Charlie Dunlap of the Main Office, Virginia Davis of Endless Belt and Irene Tinsley of the Physical Laboratory. Virginia and Irene were snapped as they received their most recent $25.00 war bond. These girls are representative of the hundreds of Ecusta women who are doing their part in America’s War effort. Here are nine definite things whi^ a worker should know about safety 1. That safety is as important a [ tor in good workmanship as quaM or quantity of output. j 2. That the Violation of standaw safe working practices is just as s^' ious as the violation of any otW’ company policy or regulation. 3. That every worker has the r®. sponsibility for the safety of his "*1 low-workers, as well as his own. 4. That accidents are caused ' I don’t just happen) and consequently can be prevented—in most cases, ‘ w forethought on the part of the er himself. jf, 5. That safe working methods a matter of habit and that safe haon can be consciously developed. 6. That fatigue contributes to likelihood of accidents and, ^ jMtel’ quently, that the worker should avo , ^ fatigue resulting from excessive of sleep, wrong eating habits, neglect of health and of physical ^ ness while off the job. 7. That every mechanical safeg^^’ I. xxiai every mecnanicai saie6«%jWg must be kept in place and props’’^Hit used. We are proud of “Speedy” Jones and Marion McCall who are fast on foot, but it is hard on little fish when two fishermen (?) run up on a rattle snake on the bank of the brook. “Speedy” says they are not angels, but when flying is the best way out they can go . . . We have a new man on our shift, Mr. Holden, who is equal in muscle and size to our battling (?) Bob Leathers. He is helping on the conveyor and we wish him the best of luck and success ... We are also proud of Mr. Rupert Gordon who is on the ladder to success—he is tak ing freeness. We have heard reports that he is very well fitted for this job . . . James McGaha, commonly known as “Frog”, says he is training for super-man, then if he has to go to the Army he will go to Berlin by himself ... Just a little relation prob lem—^A visitor came to see a man in jail. The jailor asked the visitor what relation he was to the man in jail. The man said “Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man’s father is my father’s son”. What was the relationship? . . . John Mullenax has made a hi-powered “bean-shooter’ since he can’t get any BB shot for his rifle, (Signed) STRAWBERRY 8, That horseplay on the job is Nt, gerous and cannot be tolerated. 9. That small injuries must he (J h ported and taken care of in the J ular manner approved and proVJO^^^ckg for. YOUR HEALTH The Chinese doctor' is paid to; .w the people well and the rest of world is now taking the view that vention is better than cure ^ - lorr fead J S’ St !fhiU Mo an accident has occurred it is to think about how it might have prevented. Haste and careless^hiis are often the cause of accidents behind many accidents is known as nervousness. Highly jumpy people should try to culti; J the habit of relaxing. We must U j time for rest.

The of the First Aid Department b serve. Otis Marshall The Blockers are talking about a trip to Florida. Better watch out for carpets and chandeliers, Lucy . . . I wonder who Lyda is carrying boxes for? . . . Congratulations Florence. Mrs, Clay, you really surprised about 20 people! ... We love the “Three litttle Sisters” all rolled into one. Lucile D, has a boy friend in the army, one in the navy and one in the ma rines. Wonder which one she was with at Jerry’s the other night? For information see A. M., M. D., or S. M. . . . Poor Virginia certainly looked down in the dumps while her soldier was on furlough and went home but she looks better now. He is probably coming to Hendersonville Sunday . . . F. T. went to see her fiance last week end. Did you go by motorcycle or by your new mount, “Lone Ranger’s Sil ver”? ... One can’t find a single long face on the blockers—not even Gladys or Lucy, Their husbands are in the service, too , , .
