Page 6 THE ECHO September, 1^42 Physical Lab Notes Being of sound mind and body (I think) I’ll endeavor to make a round of the Lab—and let it be known by all Echo-ers the chit-chat of the month, to the best of my ability . . . First, ’twas good to see Earl Full- bright and “Flash” Gordon again. The khaki suits with stripes were very becoming. Also, one of our boys, R. C., tells us that he has gained fifteen pounds in a week—a hint to those not gone yet—Never worry about be ing on the thin side in the service ... the last week-end in August seem ed to be one for vacation for a few in the Lab. Doyle Wells, Robert| and Roy Head went to Washington and Balti more; I’ll add, I enjoyed a nice trip to Philadelphia too. Who wouldn’t after hearing Harry James play for an S. A. E. Frat dance? But it’s nice to be home again . . . Marie A. seems to be very interested in L. E. Calender. What happened to T. I.? . . . Mid Tal ley likes her days off—don’t we all? Susie Jennings is turning out to be a competant tester . . . Gladys T. never loses her smile or her scrumptious personality. Tell us the secret . . . By the way, Roy Head thinks he’s ill-tempered of late—says he even cuts Doris off short—but we haven’t no ticed it. Anyway it’s a good excuse to get grapefruit juice every morning. Remember your vitamins! . . . Dan “Pretty boy” Williams has taken an in terest in music and is he talented! Maybe he’ll be a member of the band yet . . .Attention Girls! We’re going to have a bowling team and one thing sure we want to get started on prac tice games. We want to win that cup. Also, the boys are determined that they are going to win in ten pins. More power to you! Let’s beat Cham pagne! . . . Bob Matthews and Bill Kirk and Leah R. watching the rise and fall of the humidity and tempera ture in the Lab remind us of those who are watching and waiting the call of the New York stock market. Of course, Randall and Earl H. are in on this too . . . To all Lab workers: Let’s do our work faster but with ac curacy! Remember, this is war. Irene T. Hand Booklet Gab We are trying to figure out Caro lyn Water’s interest in Camp Croft, We don’t know his name but we bet he’s a soldier . . . Alice Maney, won’t you please tell us girls who it was the other night? (Nosey, aren’t we?) . • . Frances McCall is still getting those long distance calls from Vir ginia and we know it’s not her father either . .. Wonder why Dot Mitchem’s husband cut his vacation short. We’d cut ours short too if we had Dot to hurry home to . . . We heard Ann Morris was entertaining some sleepy company the other night . . . We heard that Hazel (Red) Mich ael’s mail has foreign stamps these days . . . We saw Lillian King sport ing a horse and buggy the other evening. It’s much more fun than walking . . . Eileen Nelson needs an extra 15 minutes for lunch so she doesn’t have to leave her pie every day . . . Clara Dickson says her hus band doesn’t do all the shopping but we saw. him bringing home the bacon some few days ago . . . Johnnie Der- mid had a visitor again this week end. Seems to be a permanent ar rangement . . . Wonder who can af ford chocolates for “Red” Michael to feed the girls at,work. She says an 0I4 friend. He must be a good one . . . Alma Hamilton (?) made a trip to Fort Jackson and not just to view the scenery ... If you see M. Ponder and Dona Wright running around minus their* heads you will know that they have been talking too much again . . . Lyday M. likes Byrd’s red hat so much that we hear he is try ing to find one for himself . . . Lis- sie Silners is off visiting her hus band at camp. The tree of liberty must be refresh ed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.—Thomas Jef ferson. careless matches aid the Axis U PREVENT FOREST FIRES! THE LUNCH HOUR QUIZ... Mary Sue Thome How many can you answer just while you are having you lunch? Come on, dust the cobwebs out of those pig eon holes in your brain that haven’t been opened in years maybe. Seven answered correctly is fair to middling; eight is good; nine is very good and 10 is just perfect. Answers on page— 1. Why is North Carolina called the Tar Heel state? 2. Name the three Wise Men. 3. Where was scientific forestry first practiced? 4. How many Negroes are there in the United States? 5. Who was the first white child born in the United States? 6. When did Abraham sleep five in the bed? 7. Which is the oldest royal family in the world? 8. What does “E Pluribus Unum” mean? 9. Where is the Suwannee River? 10. A man buys a farm, he wants to invest $100.00 in cows, hogs, and sheep. He wants 100 head in all. If he pays $10.00 for cows, $2.50 for hogs and .50 each for sheep, how many head of each can he buy? (Answers on page 7) Refining ‘D’ Dashes Since we “Echoed” last, three of our members have entered the armed forces: J. B. Middleton is now at Camp Grant, 111., Edward Brackett is stationed at Keesler Flying Field in Mississippi, and Fred Jordan is in Camp Barkley, Texas . . . Refining “D” honored Fred Jordan, Glenn Simpson, Edward Brackett, and J. B. Middleton, with parties at White Pine Camp prior to their departure to the army. Both the parties were well attended with plenty of good eats and all . . . Our shift has recently added several new members, includ ing Ray Blankenship, James Cox, Al ton and Walter Hubbard, Ralph Nich olson, and Ray Owen ... Ray Hilemon has entered the matrimonial ship— smooth sailing, Hilemon ... At long last cigars have been plentiful with us. Smoke hardly clears until they are passed again. Victor Rash is the proud father of a beautiful baby daughter, and yes, that was Henry Holliday who broke all records in getting out of the plant a few days ago. He’s been wreathed in smiles since—it’s a boy. The Ecusta tribe is steadily increasing, especially Re fining “D” . . . “Pat” Poor is now (Continued on page 7) FIRE! The Enemies’ Friend This is war—total, expensive war! Every dollar, every resource, every energy must be devoted to it if vic tory is to be ours. Are we doing all we can to win, at home, on the farm, in the factory? Not when we allow preventable fires to destroy thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars every year, lives and dollars that would have built great fleets of bombers and much-needed tanks and ships. We Americans have long had the feeling that our resources were so bountiful, our strength so great, that we couldn’t possibly lose a war. But we’re inviting defeat when we cripple our production lines and lay waste our farms with fires that could have been prevented if we’d been on the alert. Fire is the friend of the enemy! We must reduce our staggering fire losses, and we must do it now! For tunately, it isn’t too late but it’s later than we think! MIND YOUR MATCHES. The dis astrous forest fires that sweep the country in the fall ought to be a sufficient reminder to be on the safe side when you’re in the woods and have to light a^ match. If it’s a wood en match, break it in two with your fingers before you drop it. If it’s paper a match, twist it. You can’t do either without putting out the flame, and that’s the idea. Pulp Mill ‘D’ “Bear” Tinsley is acting just a little jumpy these last few days. Do you suppose its because the squirrel season has just opened? . . . Clyde Galloway has turned magician—he killed a rabbit wih a rock. When he went to get the rabbit it turned out to be a com shuck. For verification see Wade Scroggs. Have you boys been seeing pink elephants too? . . . These new uniforms certainly look nice—thanks a million. . . Some time ago Charles Harrison was thinking of joining the Marines—but later he found a general in Endless Belt Dept., and decided to join the “meal- sack” gang, mstead. Here’s wishing Charles and Mrs. Harrison much hap piness and success . . . R. Wilber is all smiles these days. He’s even singing “won’t you tie me to your apron strings again?” Wonder why? . . . Boys, hunting season is here so let s be careful with our firearms and fires remember our country is at war—pledge for more War Bonds' Office Bits With the deadline for office vac^ tions very close, there’s quite a rusti to get in those precious two weeKS before it’s too late. Those who hay® been playing are: Bill Hannan, Shepherd, Frank Harder, Isabel ais, Ted Gentry, Earl Bryan, Robert Maney, Harvey Souther, and Dot Everette (Pardon us, Mrs. Hunter.; . . . We’re having a Glamour Girl con test around here.

George Heyman gave scare when we heard he’d gone ‘Joi the hospital and were we glad to f aiiu. wcic wc gxau vv . him back at work and not about his operation”. . .
