Thelma qame to Ecusta’s Finish ing department in 1941, a graduate and valedictorian of Bethel high school, Waynesville, class of 1940. Thelma joined the band in De cember, 1942, playing alto saxa phone and later tenor saxaphone. Besides playing in the band, she was also a member of the square dance team and the chorus. Next to her music, Thelma’s main in terests are in swimming and read ing. She is the first girl in this county to join the SPARS. Her orders are to report to New River, N. C., in May.

Best and Walter Straus, and anyone wishing infor mation about the Ecusta Victory Gardens can contact any of the members. Reports indicate that a large number of employees are going to raise gardens at their homes. The Poet's Comer Beneath The Pisgah Editor’s note — This particular poem was sent in by two of our male employees. — It must be spring.) Out Fishin’ A fellow isn’t thinkin’ mean * out fishin’; His -thoughts are mostly good and clean, out fishin’. He doesn’t knock his fellow men. Or harbor any grudges then; A feller’s at his finest when out fishin’. The rich are comrades to the poor out fishin’; All brothers of a common lure, The urchin with the pin an’ string Can chum with the millionaire an’ king; Vain pride is a forgotten thing, out fishin’. A feller gits a chance to dream, out fishin’; He learns the beauties of a stream, out fishin’; An’ he can wash his soul in air That isn’t foul with selfish care, An’ relish plain and simple fare, out fishin’. A feller has no time for hate, out fishin’; He isn’t eager to be great out fishin’ He isn’t thinking thoughts of self. Of goods stacked high upon a shelf. But he is always just himself, out fishin’. Material The night is spun of velvet. The twilight is a blur Of silver-studded chiffon. And dawn is gossamer. For an immortal garment I would prefer a twist Cut from this blot of weather— The texture of a mist. —Geraldine Ross. Change To take things as they be— That’s my philosophy. No use to holler, mope, or cuss— If they was changed they might be wuss. , —John Kendrick Bangs. Income Tax Report A clipping from a South Dakota paper sent in by Pvt. Charles Rus sell. (He would!) Now that March 15 is well past the boards, here’s a nifty that is making the rounds of the taverns throughout the country. It deals with a letter received by the In ternal Revenue Department from a taxpayer who experienced little difficulty in filing his returns. “Sir: I don’t see why people made such a fuss about filling out their income blanks. All you had to do was to take Line 1, substract the totals of Lines 6 and 7, turn the page, add the cannestraffic of the tagliferri on Page 3, take the cost of a cassorance and the lassi- tudal dimensions plus the rebound on Page 4, and then divide by the paregorical equation. “Anyhow, I sure like it out here at the State Hospital.” Book.
