C., Nov. 22, 1944 As I lay in my comfortable hos pital bed in Transylvania Commu nity hospital, it occurred to me that Ecusta had had a great part in making ithis needed institution possible. I could but contrast my stay there with a previous one in the old hospital some few years ago I recalled the courage of the nurses and the ingenuity with which they carried on the work without proper facilities to work with. And then I noticed on my bed side a book belonging to the Ecusta library, a book that had given me much pleasure while reading it; and I marvelled at the consideration of a very busy man who had taken time to have planned a library of several thou sand volumes for the use of Ecusta employees. I thought further of the thought fulness of this man, of the per sonal care my husband received at his work each day. A resident doc tor that he might consult at any time, nurses on all shifts, a sur geon one day a week for consul tations or serious illnesses. Free hospitalization and surgi cal insurance, life insurance, eye examinations, cold capsules in winter, hot meals provided at rea sonable prices, a safe and healthy environment in which to work. And greater than anything else— the freedom of the privileged working man, bringing about a close relationship between employ er and employee that is unequalled by any industry. This relationship gives my husband the feeling that he is a part of Ecusta and that Ecusta is a part of him. Encouraging diversion and re laxation for his employees, our president has introduced through his recreational director dozens of entertaining and sport activities, a reading room, chorus, band, dance orchestra and string band, movies, floor shows, basketball, baseball, ping pong, tennis, bowl ing, etc. And not only is our president concerned with the adults at Ecusta, he is planning for our chil dren. To help make possible a col lege education within the grasp of every boy and girl in this dis trict, he has given generously to Brevard college in the name of Ecusta, to be used in any manner the college sees fit. Scores of carefully selected chil dren’s books stand on the library shelves at Ecusta waiting to be used by the children of Ecustans. Free music lessons are being given to the children of Ecustans, Some 60 of these children have already enrolled and are being taught to play various instruments. The Ecusta Christmas party held last year in one of our local the atres was designed to give the children added pleasure at Christ mas time. And this will be an an nual feature of joy looked forward to by every child. Ecusta’s good will and philan thropies extend beyond the Ecus tans, reaching all over the county. A substantial gift from Ecusta helped to swell the supply of books in our downtown library. One of our greatest contributors to the War Fund and Community Chest Fund is Ecusta. One of the greatest supporters of the War Bond drives has been Ecusta, with her entertainers trav eling into all parts of the county selling bonds. So many things have been done in so short a time ithat it is im possible for me to touch upon each of them and enumerate them prop erly. Besides the many things that our president has done and is do ing of local worthiness, his good will goes into all parts of the world, spreading good cheer to the Ecusta service people stationed in all parts of the globe. His remem brances of cigarettes, stationery, the monthly copies of the Echo, various magazines, etc., warm their spirit and give new hope to their tired minds and bodies. As I lay thinking in my hospi tal bed of the many things he has done I was filled with a deep sense of gratitude for the direct and in direct benefits derived from him through Ecusta. —Kathleen Lominac Teague, the Wife of an Ecusta Employee PAGE NINE HOUSE ORGAN FEATURE SERVICE Cor/oonj—S»^ouef/e — Chart Ou/t, Shfunki/ig AUTO SUPPLY Scrapped In 1944-1.500.000 Not in Use 650.000 > In Operation end 19H4 23,750,000 A\inimum Needed 20,000,000 Based on ettlmaU* provided by ODT garage? ® you habitually guilty ''‘s acts? - of acts? you call attention to the “^actices of others?
