Newbury, WHO’S WHO —BY STAFF WRITERS— KARL KILPATRICK VAN OWEN The tall, neat foreman in the Pulp Mill, with a nice smile, pictured above, is Karl Kilpatrick. Afteo* working at service stations and grocery stores for a while after his graduation from Brevard high school, he began his work at Ecusta as a vacuum wash op erator in September of 1939. In November of 1940, he be came a foreman in the Pulp Mill, and in September 1944 he became a member of the Five-Year club. In addition to his many responsibilities as digester foreman, he also finds time to participate in all of the many Ecusta sports and recreational activities. Brevard is Karl’s native* town; he and his wife, the former Hazel Greene, and two chil dren live there. CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this means of thanking our friends for the kind ness and sympathy shown during the death of Mrs. J. C. Orr. I espe cially want to thank employees of the Refining Room for the lovely flowers sent. Rube Morgan. Van Owen, or “Curly”, as his friends dub him, is a meim- her of the Five-Year club. This nice looking Pulp Mill employee was bom in Tran sylvania county, receiving his schooling at the Rosman and Bievard schools. After com pleting his high school train ing in Brevard, he worked for ten years at the Transylvania Tanning Co., coming to Ecusta January 15, 1940 to begin his work here as a stock digger in the Pulp Mill. A year later, he became a vacuum wash op erator, but for the past two years, he has been a digester cook. Van is a family man, all right; he has a home in Bre vard, a wife and four chil dren, three of whom are girls. His hobbies are hunting and fishing. Our Echo news from the Digester Room is written by Van. Beneath The Pisgah Poet s Comer THE LILACS NOD AGAIN The lilacs nod again, and bridal wreath Spills its white lace along the garden wall; I sometimes think its snowy waterfall Is loveliest of all spring’s flower and leaf. Again and yet again the spring returns To lift our hearts with beauty and birds’ song; Again we feel the way is not too long, That somewhere is the goal which each one earns. Look well upon the magic of this hour, Drink deep the beauty which you see to-day. The golden sun upon this leaf, this flower, For once, and only once, you pass this way. —Warren Bassett. ALL LOVELINESS All loveliness would I bring to love, The haloed peace of candle-lights, The hushed, bruised lullabies of rain-whipped nights When trees drip silence to the eaves above. Far from falling waters in an urn shaped vale. And whippoorwills at their first darkling call; Wild roses that the last sun-rays let faU Across the cheek of twilight, cool and pale. The warmth in gypsy red in autumn fire, The crackling tale beside a friend ly hearth, The throbbing and the pulsing of the earth When Spring brings back new wonder and desire. Bend nearer in the dark, that I may see The glory of my dream’s felicity —Unknown Harold Vannah Is Home On Leave STEAK A LA 1945 Diner: Waiter, please close the window. Waiter: Is there a draft, sir?
