JULY, lOM THE ECHO PAGE FIVE Finishing Touches We miss Alta, who is now fore- «dy in chaige of third shift. We 'vish her lots of luck with her shift, though. Congratulations are in order for foreman, Ed M., who was pre sented with a baby girl, Claire. Amy H. feels happy over being on days again . . . now she can go to all the square dances. We 3lso hear Alberta enjoyed a dance *^ot so long ago in Brevard. For any information concerning risbie’s G. I. date after work, we could lend an ear . . . even gold oars! We hear the chewing gum situa- tion in Finishing is getting desper ate. Some of the girls are chewing 3 kind of gum that resembles syn- Jnetic rubber (all right for tires out not much to chew.) Ander H’s sewing ability might ^ot be limited to one finished product, so far, but he was success- jul in that particular one. Informa tion could be had from the Mrs. Jean H. wonders why Ben C. is ®ut from work ... he hasn’t been tidying his famed hypnotic powers you, has he, Jean? Jean N.’s pleased expression could be credited to the fact that G. had a furlough while we were days. We welcome three new girls to °ur department and a new boy. B^lizabeth B. has returned after a ong absence of two years. If we still have any readers up JO this point, we’ll make them JJsppy by telling them ‘Bye, now til next month. Martha Lee McCall ..4.

SLOGANS V- S, Slogan: “Back the Attack.” *P Slogan: “Attack the Back.” Children’s Free Musical Training APPLICATION BLANK Activities Committee, Ecusta Library. Gentlemen: I am interested in seeing the proposed “Free Musical Training for Children of All Employees” started and if it is I should like to make application for such instruction for my child or children as follows: (Name) (Age) (Instrument) (Name) (Age) (Instrument) (Name) (Age) (Instrument) (Name of Employee) (Employee’s Address) (Department Employed) Can you arrange transportation for your child? yes no (CLIP OUT, FILL OUT AND RETURN THIS BLANK) Project Will Be -FROM PAGE ONE- Inspection Dept. “D” SHIFT It has been some time since we have been able to get a bit of gos sip and news together and get it to the 'Echo before the deadline. However, if nothing happens, I believe we will make it this time. A lot of things have happened in the past few months that we could write about but we will list only a few. Stella Seay has transferred to the Physical Testing Laboratory. All the boys are now on the 48- hour schedule and it is very sel dom we get to work with the old gang. The Golden girls. Ruby and Ethel, have returned from their vacation and remarked that they enjoyed it very much. We welcome a newcomer to our shift. Nora Dalton has transferred from “A” shift. Frances Davis has just returned from an unknown destination, where she spent approximately three weeks with her husband, who is in the navy. I suppose before very long Jean Hunnicutt will be heading south. Her husband. Bill, has been draft ed and is stationed in Florida in the army. Kenneth McDarris has bought himself a cow. I understand Buvee Parker is in the fruit and produce “racket” at present. Five of our girls, Velda Press ley, Lillian Wilkerson, Reba Rog ers, Frances Moore and Helen Groves were up to try and qualify for the square dance team. We don’t know the results as yet but we are sure they gave a good ac count of themselves. We were sorry to hear of Iva King having an emergency opera tion.' We hope she will be able to resume her work soon. Was wondering one afternoon why Willie Mae was wearing such a big smile. Found out later she was being called “aunt.” Everyone was wondering about Oscar’s sun tan, whether he got it at the picnic or in his Victory gar den. Saw quite a few at the picnic including Donna Ruth, Mary Davis and Dorothy Hamlin. They all seemed to enjoy it. We are all glad that Hugh Brad- burn’s baby is much better. Clyde Crowder never sleeps over 16 hours a day while working graveyard. Endless Chatter By ‘Roving Gambler* In opening we wish to welcome back a former weaver, Estelle Brotherton. Also some new faces are among us, Lavonne Orr, Ruby Baynard, Ruth Norris, Grace Alii son and Willa Miller; maybe more but we didn’t mean to miss, honest we didn’t! The long holiday granted us for the 4th of July was greatly appreci ated and all reported a jolly good time at the Ecusta picnic. A num ber of our fellow workers are en joying their vacations during this sweltering weather. We can’t blame them and ‘yours truly’ has one coming up that is going to be welcome. The films being shown in the Cafeteria are very good. It is an opportunity to see many phases of the war that we would otherwise miss. More of us should take ad vantage of them to enlighten our selves on world events. If anyone has any poison ivy growing around their lawns, gar dens, etc., see Evelyn, she is an ex pert at removing it—and is not easily poisoned—or is she? Christihe Ducker is very happy ion of John Eversman, Recreational Director and Band Leader, and will, for the present, be applicable only to employee children of twelve years of age and older. To determine the exact extent of this interest, the Committee has suggested that a survey be con ducted among the employees. Pub lished elsewhere in this issue is an application blank, which employees Who are interested in this proposal are urged to clip out, fill out and return to the Recreational Depart ment. “If you want your child to study some musical instrument without charge, be sure to fill out one of the blanks,” Mr. Eversman said. Final details, of course, have not been worked out, but it is contem plated that the free instruction will be given here in the Ecusta cafeteria in the afternoon. The committee is working on arrange ments for transporting these chil dren to and from the plant and as soon as a practical plan is worked out it will be announced. All who are able to provide their own transportation will be urged to do so. ' The Ecusta band has a number of fine musical instruments that are not being used at present and it is anticipated that some of the children would use them. It is likewise anticipated that many of the children would eventu ally become members of the band and that a children’s chorus and glee club might be organized. “A knowledge of music is a valu able asset to the future happiness of any child,” Mr. Eversman said. “Everyone loves music and the more a person knows about it the greater is his or her appreciation and enjoyment of life.” At the present time, free instru mental music instruction is avail able to all employees. After the survey is completed, full details will be announced, if the plan is put into operation. these days. Her husband is back in the States after service with the Marines in the Pacific. Dorothy Dyer has recently returned from a visit with her sailor husband who is stationed in Chicago. That’s all for this time but we will have more of the same, so drop around again. ATTENTION, MILITARY PEOPLE! To all former employees on our Military Honor Roll who are still in service we are considering offer ing a subscription to one of the following magazines: LIFE TIME NEWSWEEK READER’S DIGEST Under postal regulations, a subscription may be sent; overseas provided a specific request is received from the soldier or sailor. If a subscription is ordered for a military person m the United States who goes overseas during the period of the subscription, the ix^gazme will follow him without further request on his part. If you are really interested, and you do not have good library facilities where you are located, or are not already a subscriber, I will be glad to consider your request for one of the above magazines. BE SURE TO KEEP US INFORMED OF ANY CHANGE IN ADDRESS. HARRY H. STRAUS, President.
