Happy Hunting!
\
Carry your gun down and on
safety. Never point a gun — either
on purpose or accidentally — at any
thing you do not wish to shoot. Be
sure of your target before you pull
the trigger. Handle every gun as if
it ware loaded.
Wear something brightprefer
ably red —which will stand out in
wooded areas. Never wear white for
hunting. Never stand up in a boat
to shoot. Allow only one hunter to
shoot from boat at a time. Never
shoot at hard, flat surfaces such as
rocks, or at the surface of the water.
Wlien crossing fences, let one
member of the party climb over
first without a gun. Hand all guns
over to him, being sure to "break"
the breech before handing over. Be
sure barrel and action are clear of
obstruction before shooting.
Never carry loaded quns in your
car. Never look down the muzzle of
your ^ gun. Avoid horseplay while
handling guns and never mix alco
hol and gun powder. Teach children
proper respect for firearms. Such
simple precautions as these will make
for happy hunting,

Turkey Dinner Is
Enjoyed At Ecusta
For many Ecustans, as well as for
many other industrial workers in
the county, Thanksgiving was an
other work day.
Those who worked in the plant
here, however, enjoyed a delicious
turkey dinner served in the Cafe
teria without cost to them.
Other Ecustans celebrated the
Turkey day by attending church
services, family reunions, hunting
and seeing the high school football
game in Brevard. Thursday night
a number of persons saw the mov
ies that were shown in the Cafe
teria.

Employees Urged To Indicate
Interest
On this page is a tentative appli
cation blank and all employees
who are interested in having their
sons considered for the proposed
summer camp are requested to fill
out this blank and bring it to the
Recreation Office or leave it at the
Gate House. ,
Applications will be considered
in the order they are received. If
more boys are interested in attend
ing the camp than can be handled,
only one boy per family will be
accepted.
Small Fee To Be Charged
If a sufficient number of em
ployees indicate their interest and
the Camp is operated next sumnfier,
the Company will pay most of the
cost. However, each boy will be
expected to pay a small fee of $5
per week. Normally camps of this
type charge from $250 to $300 a
season of 8 weeks. Boys will be
accepted only for a minimum of
4 weeks of camp. Results of our
survey will determine whether or
not the camp may be operated for
a term of 8 weeks, or whether it
may be necessary to operate two
camp terms of 4 weeks each, to ac
commodate all applicants. Karh
boy would of course bring his own
bed line^, towels and clothing. If
enough interest is shown on the
part of the employees and enough
boys are tentatively enrolled, defi
nite plans will then be made for
the opening of the Camp and full
particulars will be published in a
special Boys’ Camp BulleUn and
in the Echo.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED BE
SURE TO FILL OUT THE TEN*
TATIVE CAMP BLANK AND
SEND OR BRING IT TO THE
RECREATION OFFICE.
SAFETY SONNET
Don’t follow safety rules—
They’re just a pack of lies!
Never wear your goggles—
They’ll hide your big brown eyes.
Don’t wear your safety shoes—
They’re heavy on the feet.
Be sure to play a joke
On everyone you meet.
Be careless as you can,
Be debonair and gay.
Everyone will like you
If things are done this way.
Obey the rules above.
Don’t do as you are told.
And you can surely bet
That You won’t grow too old!
