New^And Gossip From Our Various Departments Machine Booklet Much has happened since last we were with the public. Among those to start out on the trail of happiness and sorrow — the road of matrimony—were Gladys John son, one of our popular packers, and also Edna Huggins. Girls, we wish you all the happiness in the world. Recently Maymie Bryson under went an operation at Brevard hos pital and reports are that she is improving at a rapid rate of speed. Hope you can soon be with us again, Maymie. Lately “Buck” Albert was heard from and has had a recent promo tion also transferred to the state of California. Best of luck “Buck”. ’ Guy Mull recently paid M. B. a visit and every one was more than glad to see him well and know he is doing a swell job in Uncle Sam’s service. Soon we are to lose another of our male force. Jimmie Dunne leaves soon; although he has not been with us long 'we will miss him very much. Jimmie was once a M. B. fellow, later transferred to H. B. and lately has been with us again. Best of luck, Jimmie, wherever you go. To all the new girls who have come to us recently, we say a hearty welcome and may your stay here be a happy one. We also welcome our old-new boy, Wade Phoenix, to M. B. Louise Souther has recently been walking around in a dither. That particular someone is home from the Navy. News received, from an old member and friend, Louise Dish- man, reveals that she is doing well. We miss you, Louise. The girls and fellows want this opportunity to thank Mr. Walter Straus for the mats which he made possible for them to enjoy in Machine Booklet. It helps many an aching foot. So thanks very much, Mr. Straus. Endless Chatter By SALLY WAGTONGUE Newcomers to Endless are pret ty red-headed Sarah Cagle and brownette, Josephine Hollings worth. We welcome Marjie Elliott back after a few weeks absence due to her husband’s illness and regret to lose Dorothy Thomas, who was called to her home in Sylva because of her father’s crit ical condition. Wanted: To be in England. Alba Drake and Ruth Jones. Gracious! Margaret Collins, but that 130 was a beautiful bowling score and incidentally a new high record for match games in Wom en’s Duck Pins in Brevard. If we should dig up the old bowling records we would find that Mary Sue Thorne bowled 129 against the Champagne Stars in the first departmental game of any kind in Ecusta history and third high score to date is Gracerose Ziever- ink’s 126. Corrections, please? The Endless Bowlers are be moaning the sad loss of Elouise Matthews. But don’t be too opti mistic, girls, we still intend to make somebody do some good bowling if we relinquish our sec ond place standing in the league. Mrs. Blanche McCrary Phillips and Mrs, Frances Nelson Gallo way are the proud mothers of a fine son, Robert Dixon and a love ly daughter, Frances Anita, re spectively. Blanche and Frances Refining Dept. News We extend our sympathy to Clifton Thomas. He,lost his father last Tuesday. Welcome back to work, “Slim.” We also, are glad to see Paul Raffield back report ing his folks well again. Dick Perron reported back from his vacation Nov. 8. He had a swell time, but gosh! did he hate to get back to work. Willis Cauble did a nice job in filling in for Dick while he was away. Enno Camenzind, a popular fore man, left last month to enter the Navy. He was honor guest at a chicken supper given at Shook’s Lodge, near the Pink Beds. Every body had a swell time. Congratu-- lations to Bud White on his promotion to foreman on “A” shift. Lloyd McGaha, beaterman on C shift, is recuperating from an apiiendicitis operation at the hos pital. We are very glad to have “Butch” Clayton and Arthur On- back with us again, having return ed from the Army. Our gain is Uncle Sam’s loss, boys. Congratulations to Jimmy Sledge and Miss Juanita Erwin. They slipped over to Pickens and took the plunge. We wish them the best of luck. We take great pride in announc ing the return of our big game hunters, namely, “Bring ’em Back Alive” Patton and “I Wish I Could” Holliday, tough luck, boys. At this writing. Bud White, Paul Whitmire and A1 Montville are in the forests trying their luck. We are saving our sympathy for these fellows. We’ve had several letters from the boys in service, scattered over the globe. They are getting along fine and wishing to be remember ed to all their friends. We hear that our artist pal, Charlie Russell, has a new set of store-bought teeth. Good for you, Charlie. Now, what are you going to do about your hair? We were glad to see Cpl. Clyde G. Jones, who was home on fur lough recently. He is getting along O. K. and looking pretty good, too. Due to the many recent deroga tory remarks our bowling team wishes to make a statement. We hereby challenge any team to equal our record or attempt to tie our low score. The other teams, we admit, have won a few more games than we have, but, none of them can surpass our record to date of games lost. So long, folks. JACK. ECHO’S MUSICAL INTRODUCTIONS 9 are pleasantly remembered in Endless where they were former ly employed. We wonder how" folks can really enjoy the Christmas Spirit which comes from the mad rush a couple of weeks before Christmas if they have finished their shopping be fore Thanksgiving. Who’s giving Stamps and Bonds for Christmas this year? We know a four year old boy who can’t be induced to spend his money for candy and ice cream anymore; he buys “fense stamps”. Food nutritionists say that a practical way of making sure that you get enough iron is to eat a wide variety of foods. ' GERALD (“Gus”) GROSE started to work for Ecusta in the Chemical Laboratory September 30, 1941. His home is at Lake Lure, N. C., and he is a graduate of Lake Lure High School. Gerald, or “Gus,” the name his friends know him best by, has always been interested in music and soon af ter the organization of the Ecusta Band, he began the study of the clarinet. Not satisfied with play ing one instrument, he soon took up the tenor saxaphone, and even later, the trumpet. He holds a prominent place in the band’s reed section and is a valued member of the band. Gus is also a member of the Ecusta Chorus. While his chief hobby is music, he also likes swimming and bowling. Last week Gus entered Ruther ford Hospital for an operation. He is reported making speedy recov ery and expects to be back at Ecusta in a few days. BAND NOTES We sorta missed the last edition of the Echo so we’ll try to make up for it this time. Sure is good to have Thelma Greene and Jim Reese back again* Thelma was out for an operation but returned Tuesday night, Oc tober 19th, for band. Then on No vember 9th she was back again at her place in Finishing. Jim has been in the army for nearly a year. He came back to work in the Gumming Department on October 18 and was present at the October 19th band rehearsal, his first in a long, long time. Roland Wilber has been out for a couple of rehearsals. Hope you get back soon, fella. We surely do miss you. Chief’s” been pushing us plen ty hard lately in learning a bunch of new marches, sort of getting ready for our next concert. Also,, we’re working on Christmas mu- ^c which we’ll play at the annual Ecusta Christmas Party. Seems like there’s lots for us to do and a lot of new music to learn, so it’s up to all of us to make as many rehearsals as possi ble. STICHING GAB Gumming Dept.

First Shift Hello again, folks, this is your old Gumming Dept, reporter gab- bin attcha’. Haven’t been around much lately. Gee, the cold weath er makes you want to stay in! I was just wondering what Nell Justus is looking so sad about. Oh, her boy friend is home on fur lough and she can’t go to see him. Well, cheer up, Nellie, just look forward to those telegrams and the future. Goode Loftis’ favorite song is “Pistol Packin’ Mama”. Don’t be surprised anytime you hear him ^singing it. I have been receiving a bit of advice about going to “jump off”. Kinda cold up there, eh. Bill?! We sure do miss Kathleen Mc Crary and Dixie Whitaker and hope they get to come back real soon. They are both out, recover ing from operations for append icitis. Get well, girls and come on back. We want to welcome Mattie Quinn to our shift and hope she likes it.

Keep it up, Mr. Erwin, cause we like the gum. ‘A diller, a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar’ but Ruby came to work at 9:45. Just where were you, Ruby?

Uncle Sam has made another call to our Department and this time he asked for Jimmy Dunne. Good luck, Jimmy. We know the Marines will be better after you get there. Pearl A. certainly needs glass es.
