12 to Wmber, 1942 THE ECHO BAND NOTES The Ecusta band was summoned to lear in “court” Tuesday night, *Ptember 8th, for the Mock Trial at Brevard high school. We released on good behaviour af- . offering musical evidence ap- ‘fently irrelevant and immaterial to case on docket. We enjoyed this Pportunity to play and to observe amusingly slapstick “court pro- ^dings”. A lady of the jury, oecky” Macfie, later presented us a band arrangement of Irving «riin’s “Any Bonds Today?” which ® appreciate very much. Mr. Eversman has recently secur- J for the band a genuine hand-made ‘finch Loree Oboe which is, need- to say, quite a rarity during pres- world conditions. In case your ‘'^Uonary is out of reach, the “Oboe Hautboy) is a treble reed-wood instrument with a conical bore double-reed mounthpiece. Usual- ■^ade of ebony, silver, or boxwood, .has 15 keys and 2 octave keys . . . ?u’ll probably associate it with an snake charmer when you hear ^ high, wierd, oriental tones. This ^rument is a valuable addition to “^ reed section. Oid you know that in addition to K regular hand session on Ttipsday —5«*c*x OCillCC OODOIOIZ Oil X CICOClH’* . Tiles m mi ^caonin^? THq "A" 6ancf meets ^ J beginners who concentrate on ^ tochni^ue and familiarity the numbers played by the big '’ttd. All band members are urged d, . ?^tend this meeting but the fol ding only are enrolled: Aiie Allen, Buck Best, Fred Bishop, Cochran, Goode Loftis, Hazel SKinney, “Ride’' Robinson, Lita ®Ppe, Marie Sprinkle, Fred Wallin, ^ Roland Wilber. Group “B” consists of new begin- Js who practice scales and prepara- ^ exercises. They are: Fred Bishop, Durham, Clinton Green, Sam 5thews, Birdell Montieth, H. E. ^Wbury, Mary O. Paxton, Mamie . ynolds, “Ricie” Robinson, Marie finkle, Irene Tinsley, and Gerald %ce. Jhe above group will eventually ^§e with Group “A”. In this man all band members are orientated Jrding to ability, progress, and ^J^nique. This stepping-stone pro- with emphasis on individual in- .^ction, allows each member to . ^ and advance as fast as he is ^ Eversman has ite an “assembly line” and we all forward to becoming “finished roducts”. ou are cordially invited to come outdoor concert on the Tran L^ania Courthouse lawn, Saturday j Ptember 26th, at 8 'clock. Bring 6' family and friends. # i^eanwhile, we’re scheduled to play iu game Sunday afternoon, so, ^en, Adios. Cafeteria Chatter is certainly amusing to see the ' come in to eat on the days when “ Echo comes out. Everybody gets k off the pile as he passes and not . folks see any of us and hardly food. Some few fold up the for further investigation and read, eat and talk all at once ... 4 k glad Wade and Roberta are suffering with toothache any That is one of the worst kinds ure bu tboth were pleasant to though suffering. We can’t '*6rstand it. . . Most everybody be- to the Cafeteria-Canteen met at White Pine in the For- ^nd enjoyed a picnic on Wednes- ^ . evening, September 2nd. The ^^ies of most of the gang were Page 5 CDMHING SHin ‘S’ SETS RECORD 21.7% of Income Goes To War Bonds The Gumming Department boys on shift “S” saw that the bond purchase chart in front of the cafeteria “only went to 21%”. After read- isg liBJs nsaiiJ sij? this war amd aftor rcaHzhag what a very small price we pay for the Ua- llmUoJ #reoJom anj ottpor^iiniiios o//oreil in this great uutlon of ours^ the hoys decided to exceed the 21% chart and did!

We were all a little sad tried not to show it for the Was really in honor of “Kaig” L ‘Soup King”. He has joined the and Mrs. Cagle and the child ly ^ave moved to Sylva, N. C. Dur- L the evening “Mac” presented with a small package from the “gang” and after Mr. Cagle’s ® speech we were all fired with (Continued on page 6) Finishing Touches Well—Summer has ended and fall sports are now arousing interests, but we still have a few signs of what took place during the summer—espec ially Edna FuUbright’s superb tan which she painfully acquired. Even now the rest of us look anemic com pared with her ... A lot of fish stories were heard among the fellows in our department but there was a slight misunderstanding about the ones that Frank Smith caught. He caught five, two inches long, and then he caught some little ones. The Army gets him next month and we wish him luck in catching the Japs . . . Boy!—Birdell Montieth can play on all four strings of her fiddle now. She can even play “Home, Sweet Home—” ... Ed Mims is a proud Papa now. The new addition is a baby girl named Judy . , . John Dixon has gone back to Clemson College and that, of course, accounts for the lost look on Marguerite’s face late ly .. . Some of the girls have started hobbies and the things they like are surprising. Attrice Rhodes collects little ornamental horses, any shape or color and Marie Frisby, who just left for college, was collecting pink ele phants. She refuses any other color. With a whiff of chloroform Martha Sellers puts an end to the existence of every moth and butterfly she sees. Alta has an assortment of little glass shoes, “any size will do,” she says. What the rest of the girls collect we haven’t found out—but it must be boy friends . . . Dot Sellers has been compelled to change her tune from “Swing High, Swing Low” to “Shang Hi, Shang Lo”, now that her hus band has joined the Navy . . . Charles Hamilton finally gave up the idea of wearing a moustache. They about razzed him lifeless. Inspection Department ‘D’ Shift LEAVING HOME John Johnson is going in the mili tary service and since he must leave his house behind he would like to leave it in good hands. If you are interested in buying his house go to see John Johnson, Route 2, Brevard. (Near Miss Julia Deavor’s). This is what John says about it: “I have a four room house in very good condi tion with electric lighting and water. It has a full sized basement, a bath and floors of the best grade of pine. The acreage with house is a little more than two acres. It is just one and a half miles from Ecusta.” John can be contacted by telephone at 247. Stand by now for the news:— Harold C. and Ohie H., who are always arguing over their bald heads, will decide soon which one has more hair . . . We hope Ralph S., our love sick operator, will find some quiet girl soon who would like a honey moon ... Lost: one piece of chewing gum. Finder please return to Doyle H. Could M. Teague have been around checking up? ... In come more new girls—^there goes Charlie, close around, grinning . . . Howard L. says, “Turn that air conditioner off; it’s ruining my curls.” . . . Girls stop all the chatter. Why, it’s ter rible! M. Teague will be gray before long . . . Rather than wear a “snood,” Wayne went to the barber shop and had his curls removed. . . Our McCor mick machine is beginning to run now for Tom is talking some. How strange it seems . . . Ralph S., for whom are you looking? Maybe Mild red can tell . . . Frances S., don’t be so bashful; you’ll soon get acquaint ed with this place. You’re doing 0. k. (new gal). .. Sorry to hear Charles H. and Joyce S. will soon be leaving. Boys, don’t forget Inspection . . . Vernon L., why is the place “snoody?” Cheer up, brother, “time changes everything”. . . Glad to have you with us, Ada. Hope you’ll like it. . . Jean K., why do you say, “I ain’t happy?” Is it us or the work or maybe the uniforms? .. . “Lucky boy,” says Shel by. Did he do some talking? Any way, she got a transfer . . . Frances H. and Mary seem to be having a swell time. Could a Beater Room blonde have anything to do with it? . . . “Samson the Second” is the name for Buvee. Gee, she’s mighty . . . All the boys seem to be leaving for the Army. Probably the girls will get to operate; let’s show them what girls can do. All we ask is, boys, please leave us your uniforms, be cause ours rip . . . Well, folks, it’s time for the tater wagon.” So we’ll say “So Long” until next month. —Fan Test Tube Topics Since we last went to press, sev eral of our employees have departed from us. Zena and Stanley boarded the “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” Pear son went in for teaching and “Jerry” Marder back to school . . . “Punchy” Pettit joined up with Uncle Sam’s Air Force and Ted Bryan has gone to sea; others expect to go soon, eh, Ray? . . . Russell Owen and Stanley Boyd decided to jump the broom— and it is rumored that several of our girls plan to follow in their footprints, come Oct. . . . Bookout is quite anx ious about her mail now; possibly be cause a certain someone from the Phys. Lab. is now with Uncle Sam . . . To hear Edith scream, you would think she was dying—it was just John C. showing her a rat . . . And according to Deane the girls will be getting lockers soon . . . Betty “Boop” has a terrible habit of swiping from the “cop” . . . All laboratory em ployees are requested to give the high sign, (five knocks) before entering the sanctuary of Miss Bookout and Miss Porter. One never knows what goes on behind that door . . . Win chester must have had a birthday from all the excitement that flooded the lab. on “B” shift during the last - - m sin-;., .k, m I 'miBs and Plotcher Tbut soxao- body QlsQ i§ taking thei? plaes. Yau I leuWv sefe Mss Bbbltdul run ning around (after samples) in slacks, wonaer where Miss Porter's are . . . I'he gang had fun celebrating “Punchy’s” birthday at his house the 15th. We can’t tell you about Elea nor’s, but “C” shift could . . . Lucy Clarke must have strained a tonsil on some o£ those “D” shift “Grrs” ’cause they (the tonsils) have to come out. Sabotage! Still on the subject of “D” shift, something new has been added, one Lola Ball. Won der how long it will take ’em to lead her astray? . . . Now that “Rick” (Scorpion) Owen has swapped shifts with Raymond “Nickel”son, Raymond seems to be working awfully hard. He should have that debt payed off by now, eh Thelma? . . . “C” shift is really on the up and up now if Doris Warren and her 7 horned toads don’t decide to go back to Texas. Don’t know what attracts the toads, but Doris seems to have a pretty good reason . . . There is a real mys tery in the lab. now, which has to do with Alice and deciding whether she prefers the Army life or an as sociation with pills and medicines . . . There is lots more news but it might hold up production. Besides a lot of it’s not—well—. “Iron” Spain can tell you that. By the way, “Lib”, when are you and Lucy going back to Greenville. Or maybe Lucy and Deane will be going to Petersburg in November, maybe. Stitching Gags L, C. you should know better than to wear a hair net! That’s exclusive ly girls’ apparel . . . We surely will miss Jack Holden but our loss is the Navy|s gain. Good luck. Jack . . . Imagine seeing Sally J. working, Jim mie D. not teasing the girls, Phil R. giving Louise 0. some candy—the pig! . . . Don’t feel to badly Ruby D. Maybe you wiU be a Rizla stitcher sometime and Dot G. can sit around like Drama H. and Thelma S. and let the machine run itself . . . Myrtle P. and Lillie S. have an uncanny way of tearing up all the machines they operate. How do you do it, girls? . . . Evelyn T. spent her vacation visiting in Ohio. Shame on you Evelyn for stealing those pears while you were gone! . . . Please, Mae 0. let us read those mysterious letters you get from a dark, handsome man in California ... We would like to extend a hearty welcome to our new mechanic, Ches ter Fenwicks . . . Look out Lois R. and Louise 0. Those folders just have to chew their fingers and hair . . . Gertrude Brown slipped off one day not long ago and came back a Poore. Congratulations! . . . Jimmie, have you found Nell L’s apple yet? Maybe you should look in the rag can . . . Reva Gosnell, Sylvia Mitchell, Gladys Clarke, Maye Ward and Mar garet Smith sure have a nice time during their old maid’s convention. How about it girls? . . . Jean H. Sure ly is lonely since Edith S. was moved to the Blocking Department . . . Louise R. makes a fine mechanic, blue overalls and everything ... By the way. Jack H. is in Norfolk, Va., and the stitchers have heard from him twice. He said he was having a grand time.
