Sergeant: “What would you do if you saw a battleship coming across that prairie?” Rookie: “Sir, I would torpedo it.” Sergeant: “Where would you get a torpedo?” Rookie: “The same place you got that battleship.” The army is just like a woman; learn to love it, but never try to understand it. Doctor: “I can’t diagnose your case. I think it must be drink.” Patient: “All right. Doc, I will come back when you’re sober.” A camp cook, after serving eggs for dinner, wrote home: “Shells have been bursting around me all day long.” “Well, son, what have you been doing all afternoon?” “Shooting craps, mother.” “That must stop. Those little things have just as much right to live as you have.” Going without food for seven days makes one week.

He is 32 years old and came here from the paper niiU and saw-mill town of Cherry River- West Virginia. Jack has been mar ried for six years; his wife, VioH is employed in Hand Booklet. Be ing a flying enthusiast, Jack de cided to get into the Armed Forces The ancient sage who concocted the maxim, “Know Thyself,” should have added another, “And Don’t Tell Anybody.” News From Blockers INK SPOTS Here comes our monthly report on this and that around printing. How in the world are we going to get along two whole weeks without Mac. He’s our errand boy in gen eral, floor sweeper at times, a mechanic of sorts, and an expert on wash-up jobs, also the little man who’s always there when a sets’ to be taken off or a roll to put on, or if something tears up or goes wrong. Yep, we’re sure going to miss him! By the way, Mac’s our foreman, too. Tsk! Tsk! Boys putting bugs down the girls’ backs is the next thing to catastrophe. Careful! We are going to miss Tiny lots. (Now who will we pick on?) Best of luck. Tiny! Larry’s gas problem was solved well in advance, in form of a beautiful nag, “Dixie.” We envy you, Larry. Louise is a regular chocolate ice cream fiend. Though, for the like of us, we can’t determine whether she uses it as a face cream or to eat. Girls, careful what you tell the “Rocks.” H~’s getting old enough to notice things. A couple of new girls have been added to our shift. Cork Slitters, Doris and Dixie (Not Larry’s horse). Glad to have you with us, girls! We know now why Anne dated that handsome soldier in Hender sonville instead of Brevard. She was afraid of the competition over here. Don’t blame you, Anne, for trying to keep a good-looking date out of sight. So long, folks; see you in the paper next month. Edith Staten seems to be having strange friends to see up at the gate house. Was it, he or his father. No one will ever know for she goes all alone. We can all see Frances Patterson enjoying her vacation at Myrtle Beach. Have a big time, Pat! Edith Wright, will you keep your fmgers clear from all rings if your boy friend shows up? Just keep yoiir name; it will never wear out. Gladys White seems to never report to work on a rainy Monday. Was the bus early, or do you sometimes make thumbs very useful? Mary H. and Edith Miller seem to be getting along fine with the apartment all by themselves. What’s this I hear about Louise S. being caught in a draft? Estelle Johnson reported a good time for the Fourth; could it have been because of the trip to Raleigh? Ruth Morrison had a very good time at the camp grounds Sunday. Now she seems to have her room decorated with Marines. Ethel Owens likes her new home at Silvia. We are all sorry to lose one of our good blockers, Margaret Me. Margaret, please come back— there is one more tray for you. Edna T. enjoyed the Fourth of July picnic even though the sun was hot. When the sun finally came out the other day, Irene M. and Reba S. joined their vocals on “Please Don’t Take My Sun shine Away.” We sure did miss Betty H. while she was on vaca tion. What will we do when she goes to join her soldier husband? We will miss Clara M. and Ruby B. as they return to finish school. Come on girls, you can carry those trays much better with a high school education. Just what would Eula Gray do if Lula, didn’t bring the hole of CHAMPAGNE factory OFFICE Here I go again in my own little nosey way. But guess what I heard the other day when I strolled into Champagne Factory Office. There seemed to be quite an argument among those folks about their boss bemg the best out. Oh well, let em thmk so—eh, Walter? Mr. L. Straus was all smiles. I wonder if it was the new grandchild?? Evelyn F. wishes she always read the danger signs before land mg undignified on oiled floors. Are you still sitting on a pillow, Evelyn? By the way Mable S. came in an hour late. She explained that she thought it was Monday the 5th Walter S. told her he thought Ben ny got the lick in his head. How about it, Mable? Paul P. said he was glad the 4th only came once a year. What’s. the matter Paul can’t you take that sunburn and poison oak? It looked good to see those candy bars and gum Mr Straus brought in. Thanks to him. A certain Victory Garden displays much talent and hard work judg ing from some vegetables I saw in the office. I wondered why Alta C. didn’t show up for the picnic. Could it have been Camp Croft or Moore General? Those folks say they certainly like to have Uncle Sam’s boys drop by to see them. So boys keep coming every time you’re home on furloughs. That’s all the news I could learn so be seeing you. JACK WILBER last year. He, thereupon, took the CPT Training course and graduat ed as a Liason Pilot at Hinds ior College, Raymond, Mississippi' On March 29th, of this year, «e was allowed to return to Ecusta until such a time as the needed him. This call came as this issue of the Echo was ready to ^0 to press and he has returnee July 15, to the Army. Jack worked as a Beaterman the Ref inning room for 3% He took a prominent part in recent Minstrel Show as one the ‘end men.’ Filter Plant Bits the doughnut to her? Sammie is back at blocking again. How does it feel to work again, Sammie? Silence is golden for Helen N. You can work while you work, play while you play, so we will be playing along until August and its too hot to play then. We wonder if Jim R. kno'''® what a skunk is by now. Ther® was a time, you know, when tried to find one ... Do not cal* Fritz W. “Red”. We learned reliable sources that he thinks hi® hair is old rose color, so bear in mind ... If you need real eS', tate, frying size chickens, or anything climbed, such as a stor age tank, see Richard K. i Strange things happen around here.

Has anyone heard anythi*^® lately about the 24 cylinder ni® tor, with two pistons, that inven^' or James W. was working When Harry K. told us that was growing seedless tomatoe^ (chemically) in his V garden, took it with a grain of salt, when he started on watermelo^®’ we threw the salt out of the 'viP' dow and bought ourselves soi^ bananas. , If you don’t know the names ? some of the weeds that grovi^ your garden, see James C. can he classify them!
