Page 12 ROSE BUD MEMORIES. THE ECHO He said he’s a box of old relics, Just things to remember folks by, Bits of something more lasting Than pleasant moments that fly. I knew he’d be thoughtful enough To accept a keepsake from me And I hope ’twill bring him pleasure As it becomes a memory. I wore a corsage of roses; Like moments of life they were. I gave him a bud for remembmace; As he took it, lights seemed to blur. I wondered if ’twere only kindness And sympathy for a lone soul, Or if that bud will forever Be a token of love, pure and whole In the weeks that quietly lie wait ing Those petals wiU wither and fade. That odor will no longer enchant Nor the color be pure as ’twas made. But may I be answered just one pray er; Let us forever be true, Be happy and contented as we are With no clouds in our sky of blue. May our friendship be lovely and last ing, As pure as the bud that grows— And perhaps it someday will blossom Into a Heaven blessed rose. And though there be thorns with the roses. And stones in the paths we trod, Please help me to keep a rose bud In my heart—alongside of God. Mary Rickman October, 1^' A WARNING TO HDNTEiiS (Continued from page 2) you?

Don’t let her ■ worry you—just increase your instal ments and she’ll go away. That’s all. Buy Bonds until you just simply can’t spare one cent more. You’re not go ing to lose anything. It’s only a loan to your government, paid back with interest. Our boys aren’t lending their lives. They’re giving everything they have! Let’s back them 100%. As ever, L&M C SHIFT There’s a lot of mystery on Charles S.’s shift lately. Something about three V’s—wonder who they could.be? . . . Mary Jo, what’s this I hear about your planning a vacation in Novem- , ber? Wonder if Troy has anything to do with it? . . . What on earth is wrong with Katherine S. lately? She has been awfully quiet. You’re not in love, are you Kay? .. . Why all the smiles Margaret C.? Could it be be cause Walter is on Graveyard shift too? . . . Gee, I bet there are going to be a lot of sleepy-eyed folks right along with you again Pat! . . . Now look here Miss L. Rhodes, you told us all about your nice vacation at Ocean Drive but what you didn’t tell about is what’s worrying us. How about that handsome soldier? Where is he now? Is he too far away for a date? We surely would like to meet him, or is that asking too much? _ . . Forgive us Teddy, but we would like to know why you were singing “Little Brown Jug” the other night? ... We can all guess why Grace N. is always happy. Her best Boy Friend hasn’t answered Uncle Sam’s call yet. Listen, Grace— you had better make hay while the sun shines! . . . Why does Viola C. make that trip to Asheville every week-end? .... Is it a soldiers, Viola? . . . Edith Morris, why don’t you invite some of us home with you for a week-end? You talk about the goodlooking men where you come from. That must be the reason Bon nie Galloway was so excited . . . Come on Pat, snap out of it! Stop worrying about Lawrence. You’U have enough to worry about trying to stay awake this month . . . Alta must be doing 0. K. She tells us she has another war bond already which reminds us all to put every penny we can spare into war bonds and stamps . . . P* S.—Just found out that Bobbie Brown is Baltimore bound! She is leaving next week. Don’t forget to drop us some cards, Bonnie . . . Messafft We Repeat Our President’s ssage Which Append In The July, 1941 Issue Of The Echo. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT DeoartmP^rnf^Al^-^® J following letter from the United States epartment of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pisgah National Forest: Mr. Harry H. Straus, President, Ecusta Paper Corporation, Pisgah ‘Forest, N. C. Dear Mr. Straus: As a good neighbor of the Pisgah National Forest and its National Gamp reserve I have always found Ecusta and its people interested and heloful enjoyed the use of the many recreational and picnic areas as well as thp game hunts and the trout fishing. The ease with which one can Teach these areas is no small part of their usefulness to you. Unfortunately, from time to time, a few selfish persons disregard the rights of o^ers and in doing so, deprive the rest of us of our full enjoyment of the Forest Such an incident was the recent wholesale theft of trout from near our Fish Hatchery. Of course, the offenders will land in prison be- iXnrevPnt^ntf if Federal law enforcement machinery is thrown into preventing a few men from depriving the rest of us of our own rights and privileges. But meanwhile our streams will lack those 400 eleven-inch rainbows ^hat we had planned to plant. We try our best to orevent «?iinh occurrences but only with your help and that VSi yot peopll can we succeed in keeping the resources and faciUties of the Forest open to all Sincerely yours, (Signed) H. B. BOSWORTH Forest Supervisor I want to add a few words of my own to the above-quoted letter from For- t?on^n^tplwth°r?^ 1 wholehearted coopera tion in seeing that the law and the rules and regulations of the Forest Service, as far as fishing and hunting are concerned, are not violated by anyone connected with Ecusta Paper Corporation, Champagne Paper Cor- H Company, Inc., or Endless Belt Corporation. The United States Government spends a large amount of money every year to Se beiefits of it.“ everyone of us can enjoy You all know that only during certain periods in the year are fishin? and hunting permitted. We do not want to fish or hunt at any time other than that appointed by the Forest Service. I know that each and everyone of our employees will help to see that these regulations are not in a single instance violated. I want evervone to be proud of the reputation which our various companies enjov and I can depend on the cooperation of all of you. In future, anyone who is arrested for violating the law will be suspended dfspen^ed^ with”^^^^^^*^ ^ convicted, his services will be permanently Shift Inspection Department — i Where, oh where, was M.

STRAUS, President LETTERS HOME: Dear Bob, niif Army is going to make an airplane mechanic out of me. Im in the Air Corps for the duration. Of course, I did ask for It and It looks hke I’m going to get it—sooner than I anticipated. I refer to action of course. The very best kind imaginable for a patriotic citizen. I like the Army so far. I’ve gained fifteen pounds already but don’t get much sleep. I saw Joe Norman at Fort Jackson. He is trying for Air Corps. Incidentally he hasn’t been treated any better than I have so far There seems to be no difference in treatment of Enlistees and Draftees. Best regards, RUPERT . Pvt. R. H. CLIFF Miami Beach, Florida To Mr. Wells: Believe it or not I just received your letter of May 5th today. It sure was good to hear from you. When I receive the Echo or a letter from you people it’s just like mail from home. ♦u- 1 everything is getting along fine at Ecusta. I u swell people you have running Ecusta it will always do well and be a place where a man will always be proud to say “I work at Ecusta”. Say, I have a new address that will make the Echo reach me a little sooner. As you can see two months is pretty slow for mail to reach you even in war time. I wish I could tell you about some of my experiences but the censor says no. All I can say is that every day we’re out looking for ’em. Furloughs look very far away at present, but if I ever happen to luck into one I’ll sure be around to see you. Tell all the fellows hello for me. Yours truly, ED ALLEN San Juan, P. R. .

Conley and I are still sticking together. As I said before, there’s very little I can write about. I am well and as fat as a bear.
