AtJGtJST, 1943 THE ECHO PAGE FIVE To Put On 'Mock Trial’ September 16th Corn Really Grows In Ecusta Victory Gardens Fertile land, plus skill and hard work produce results in the Victory ijraruen.” Autquaie proof of that fact is shown above. The man with the smile of achievement on his face ts Tony Rhodes, popular yard crew foreman. If Tony is six feet tall, it appears as though his corn is from 12 to 13 feet high and on many of the stalks there are three ears of corn. On a nearby plot, Furman Cansler, well known Ecusta policeman, also has some mighty fine corn that rivals Tony’s. The yield will prob ably be 75 bushels to the acre. (Staff Photo) TO ALL OUR EMPLOYEES FROM PAGE ONE again impressing upon you the great responsibility which rests upon all of us to support the heroic work of our boys in the Armed Forces and the only way we can do this is by investing in War Bonds. Same as before, I hope that all of you will do more than your share to enable Transylvania County to go “over the top,” thereby contributing towards making the Third War Loan Drive as successful as the previous ones. For your help, I thank you. Sincerely yours, HARRY H. STRAUS, President. PUNS MADE FOR Champagne WlL PRESENT ENTERTAINMENT AT NEXT SHOW Is Announced.

Herbert’s reply Ecusta Workers Donate Blood Five employees of Endless-Belt on the morning of August 14 each donated a pint of their blood at the local hospital. They were Jack Davies, Alvin Blythe, Geneva New man, Alba Drake and Edna Mae McCrary. Two days before. Dr. 0. Marshall received a request from the hos pital for four volunteers to donate a pint of blood each, to be used as emergency blood plasma. Dr. Marshall contacted Jack Davies, sponsor of the voluntary blood donor group at Ecusta, and as a result the five people listed above willingly and cheerfully respond ed. “We of the blood donor group would like to express our appre ciation to Mr. H. H. Straus, Mr. T. N. Word and Dr. Marshall for their interest and kind coopera tion in the functioning of this group,” Mr. Davies said. was, “Sure, why not? I have a whip.” Poor Hubert! Poor kittens!

A Little Advice— Keep Garden Tools Clean And Shining The time to clean digging and cultivating tools is while the soil adhering to them is still fresh. After it dries it’s harder to re move, to say nothing of the likeli hood of its having started a rust ing progress which will make suc ceeding batches of soil stick even thicker and tighter. For quick and thorough scrap ing such tools there’s nothing bet ter than a thin slab of maple, hickory or other hard wood, 2 or 3 inches long and half as wide, whittled to a sharp, straight edge at one end and along one side. Men gardeners can carry one or two of these gadgets in their pants pockets and never notice them; the women (known in pre-war days as “ladies”)—well, if they’re not wearing pockets, they ought to be. Anyway, the idea is a lot better than hunting around for a stone or handful of grass to clean off the dirt, or maybe a twig that will break before the job’s half done. Four Ways To Save A Slip Buried way down under the slips you wear most, you’re bound to find one that can be put back into service. Perhaps it needs shortening, tinting, or just a patch. It can be saved. I—Fabrics from slips shortened at the bottom makes'a collar and cuff set; the collar from the bias panel, cuffs from a straight panel. II—If a slip is worn under the arm, replace that area with new fabric. To avoid wear, don’t carry purse always under the same arm. III—If a slip has been laid aside because it has a dingy hue, restore it with a soap or liquid dye that tints as it washes. IV—If a lacy top is beyoud re pair, cut it off and sew the skirt of the slip to a narrow waistband. Presto; a well fitting petticoat.
