THE ECHO
October,
Men VS. Women Bowlers! The Conquerors??? Guess!
m
From the looks of the faces in the above picture, it would be difficult to distinguish the conquerors from the
conquered but we heard (without investigation) that the men beat the women 3 straight. We also learned from
a reliable source that the men have been holding practice games on the Q. T. for the past six months. The
girls are looking forward to a return match so watch out, fellahs! Reading from left to right in the above pic

whom you may share a ride?
(2) Do you live a short distance
from the bus line but drive to work
because you feel that you live too
far from the bus line to walk?
(3) Do you live far enough from
the highway to justify using your
car but drive all the way to the
plant instead of leaving your car at
some safe and convenient location
where you can get a bus?
(4) Do you claim that buses are
“inconvenient” or “uncomfortable”?
(5) Do you claim that bus sche
dule does ijot conform to your hours
because you would have to wait a
few finutes so that bus can accommo
date a larger group?
(6) Have you requested that bus
route be changed to come by your
house without considering how many
others (if any) the bus could pick
up on such a route?
(7) Do you claim that you can
drive your car at less cost than bus
transportation? If you really can, try
to buy some tires with what you save.
(8) Have you failed to canvas
your neighborhood to see that you
are carrying all passengers possible
with whom you may share rides?
(9) Were you one of the few
who, for reasons of your own, left
out certain information on the Trans
portation Analysis form?
K you fall into any of these classi
fications and still feel you are right,
you are cooperating with the war ef
fort. From a purely selfish stand
point, you are inviting a lot of sympa
thy later—which you won’t get.

LETTERS HOME:
To Mr. Straus:
I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you for your very timely
letter and also for the copy of the Echo which you sent to me. You cannot
fully appreciate the great amount of satisfaction that a soldier derives from
receiving letters from his home and his friends.
Recently, while on a furlough, I had the opportunity of returning to
Ecusta and at that time I was shown every courtesy possible including a tour
of inspection of your fine plant, and I found it to be very interesting and en
lightening. Many of my old friends were still there and I also had the pleasue
of making several new acquaintances. But my greatest thrill of the entire
trip was received when I saw the beautiful “service flag” of the corporation
and realized that one of the stars on it represented me.
At the present time I am attached to the 114th Medical Battalion of
the 26th Infantry Division but I have submitted my application for a trans
fer to the Parachute Troops with the desire of seeing real active duty on
some foreign shore. I sincerely hope and pray that this terrible conflict will
be over in the very near future so that I may return to civilian life and re
join my old friends and acquaintances at Ecusta once again.
In closing I again wish to thank you for everything you have done and
are doing for myself and the boys in the services, and I would greatly ap
preciate your continuing to send copies of the Echo to me since I really do
enjoy reading of the activities of the plant and also of the other employees
who were called into the services of the United States.
Sincerely yours’
GEORGE 0. TAYLOR

Dear Mr, Straus:
I have just received your letter and the July issue of the Echo. As
you know, all of us boys are so glad to get it. It seems almost like getting
a letter from home. It is lots of company when we can read and see how
our friends and fellow workers are doing.
I am liking Army life fine and having a good time. Although I have
been among strangers (I had never seen any of the bunch I am with now)
I have found some good buddies.
So don’t forget to mail the Echo, As I promised, I am sendmg you
my change of address.
Wishing you and all my fellow workers the best of luck and best wishes,
A friend,
ROBERT E. RAINES (Private, 1st Class)
To Mr. Wells:
How is everything back at Ecusta, and how are all the boys getting
along? The Navy is fine but Ecusta is better than that. I miss the boys
lots but we have a swell bunch of boys up here.
Mr. Wells, I don’t think it will be long before I will get to go on ship
duty where I can see plenty of water. For I am lonesome in a dry place after
working in the Beater Room where there was plenty of water for almost
three years. , ^ 4.1, ui i.
Mr. Wells, please send me the next issue 01 the Ecusta Echo.
Sincerely,
CASKELL RHODES
