PAGE TWO THE ECHO OCTOBER, News And Gossip From Our Various Departments Filter Plant News BY FRED E. FLOYD Well, “no news is good news,” as the old saying goes. So we have a lot of good news from the filter plant this month. .... James W. is off to the woods in search of deer this morning .... Watch this column next month for the results .... James C. has SOME hunting dog, believe you me .... He is so well trained that he runs three rabbits into a hollow log, holds his foot over the end, and lets ’em out one by one, so that James can shoot them .... Are you listenin’? . . . Wonder if James W. has sold the crop of hay from his Victory Garden yet? .... We understand he has had an offer .... ilunley M. walks with spring in his steps these days . . . Here we go again! He is in love .... Whatta life . . . Then there is the Scotchman who walks twen ty miles to see the football game —and was too tired to climb the fence . . . Tsk-Tsk. . . . Enough of this poppycock, tommyrot and prittle prattle .... Refining News Shift “B” BY OSCAR W. HARBIN Harry Clayton says everything that glitters is not gold. He lost a gold band ring in the Beater Room, traced it through to the paiper machine, and found some shining bits of metal, but later found the ring in his pocket. Not a magic ring, just wasn’t lost. Frank McGee has decided to join the navy and A1 Montville has already joined the Marines. Luck to you, boys, and good hunting. We had a lot of new fellows in the Beater Room; I haven’t learn ed their names, but we always wel come new help. Charley Ashe, loaned his knife to someone in the Pulp Mill about a month ago and if they are through with it he would like to get it back as he needs it for his work. Trade in the Beater Room is off a few points but dogs seem to carry a high margin; so if you have a dog to sell, see Glispee, Emmerson or Thomas. If you want animals mounted or hides tanned, consult Guy Emmerson. Now the dead line caught us so we will try to be back early next month. Refining Room «C” Shift Serving Overseas SOT. FRANKLIN C. JUSTUS, JR., was an Ecusta Tester in the Pulp Mill Control. He is now overseas with the Quartermaster corps. He trained at Camp Le,e, Va., and Camp Shenango, Pa. BY EARL GRAY Something serious must be in little cowboy’s mind or he would not be buying so many $45.00 wrist watches. Lloyd McGaha and Butch Clayton have been stepping to the music here of late. Keep the good work going. We want first place next time. We have a new “C” Shift mem ber. Homer Morris, we are always glad to receive a new man and extend to all welcome, hoping that it will not be a burden for the newcomers to work with us. Speaking of chickens, the price has advanced. We hear Preacher Jones is asking $28.00 per pair. I think there is a mistake — he m«ans a pair of coops holding Trained In Mass. SOT. HORACE D. SMITH left Ecusta in April, 1941; an em ployee of the Machine Room. He trained at Westover Field, Mass., and Mitchell Field, Long Island. about 15 chickens each. How about it. Preacher? ’ Cigar time is here again. Clinton Green has not given any cigars out yet. Come on, Greene! If that new boy could talk, he would have told you before now to hunt some cigars for your fellow workers. They want to help you enjoy yourself. Good luck, Junior? Uluth Love said he was not get ting bald-headed, that he just had a very long face and believe me, he is not by himself, eh, Love? Cigars again and no cigars! John Ball has a new daughter at his home. We are going to smoke up the place if John can find them anywhere. Look around, fellow, as cigarettes are scarce, too. Donald Owens comes tripping in to work and says it was a big boy. We sure hope that all three of these fellows can find something like a box or more of cigars for we are beginning to think they are all asking at the same store and no cigars there. Change stores. Look and keep looking because we all want to smoke one from each one of these^ellows. Good luck to all the newcomers. Physical Lab. BY ANNIE LOU HAMLIN Connie seems to have a far away look in her eyes these days. It could be that her thoughts are Deep In The Heart Of Texas. Naomi Ashe has returned from her vacation, and reports a nice time. Glad to have you back, Naomi. Tony Anders has left us to re turn to school. Best of luck to you, Tony. We miss you and hope to have you back with us some time in the near future. Ruby Wolfe has returned from a few days visit with her husband, who is stationed in Florida. Will someone PLEASE remind Robert Head when he is working days that working hours begin at 8:00—or maybe an alarm clock is what he needs. Robert is very proud of his wife these days. She won a $215.00 Art Course by sub mitting a drawing in a contest given by the Federal Art School at Minneapolis, Minn. News is scarce so I will sign off until next month. TURBINE ROOM and POWER BY WALTER KAY Now that the World’s Series is over, the thoughts of the boys have turned to politics. Well, Willingham and Smith took a young lad out lately to teach him to hunt squirrels; they evidently did their job too well, as the teachers got no meat, and the student got three squirrels. Hunter has moved out on Maple Street in Brevard; his house-warm ing will come later. Dorn has bought a shotgun to hunt rabbits with this year. He says that in throwing rocks at them with his left hand, he bruises them too badly. Woodrow Allen took a belated vacation recently. He visited his home down near Charlotte. Woody says he killed enough squirrels to do him till hog-killing time. Bob McCall has bought a new heater,—a coal-burner. He says his wife has struck against chop ping wood. Clarence Allison is planning a trip down to the Greenville fair. So sorry that news is so scarce, but until next month, so long. Chemical Lab.

For information concerning won derful and talented children, ask father:—Roy, Ned, Doyle and Earl. Will someone tell me why Marietta takes in all the dances in Asheville? —paratrooper, no? Congratulations, Dot, on the swell job you did of presiding over the BPWC in Asheville Sun day.
