December. 1945 THE ECHO PAGE SIX Pulp Mill News By HELEN KIMZEY First of all, we want to welcome some of our men back from ser vice. They are Carroll Metcalf, Maurice Paxton, Jim Waldrop, Har old Orr, Gordon Leslie, Clyde Ly- da, Robert Foster, Dewey Winches ter, Woodrow Fisher, Gordon Hol lingsworth and Harry Morgan. We hope you all will be with us for a long time to come. Since fall of the year arrived and winter is now here, some of the boys in our department have been having lots of fun hunting, especially “Bear” Tinsley and Sam Passmore. A few nights ago “Bear” asbed Sam to go coon hunting with him when they got off from work at 12 o’clock midnight. Sam went but “Bear” kept him out until 11 o’clock the next day so we don’t think Sam will be going any more. At the time of this writing the Pulp Mill is in first place in the Bowling League with three teams tied for second place. The boys say they don’t know what will happen their next game but they are go ing to make somebody do some bowling to bring them down. Monroe Collins and Chester Cagle have been in a mud-slinging contest. But from all reports the other night in the Locker Room we think Monroe was the winner. “Dobie” Lance likes to work graveyard so well that when his shift came off he exchanged so he could stay on graveyard. We think the reason for this is that “Dobie’s” wife doesn’t make him work around the house when he is on graveyard. We’re glad to hear that Bill Bangs, Bleach Room foreman, is recovering from a recent operation and we hope he will soon be back with us. Otto Whiteside has improved in looks 100 per cent since he has been working regularly. If he con tinues to improve he will be the best looking man in the mill yet. “Shorty” Davis is the pride of the Pulp Mill as he has killed those fine hogs. Monroe Collins and M. Baynard are all smiles since they finally killed the deer they have been af ter so long. We hear Everett Whitmire and Harry Crane have started the sport of hunting. Good luck to you, boys. The chlorinator operators are the happiest men in the Pulp Mill since the new method of chlorina tion has been put into operation. “Bear” Tinsley is a great believ er in herb medicine, especially yellow root. If anyone ii interested in buying a nice b«ef or a few potatoes, see Frank Holden. Frank planted one bushel of potatoes and dug 180 bushels. Nice going, Frank. Anyone interested in taking a ride see “Hoot” Smith about that /ast horse he has. From all the information we can gather Chester Cagle has just about completed his well. We hear that “Slim" Bullock’s friend has re-enlisted in the army find has gone to China. Anyone wishing to trade for an automobile see Paul Merck. He has a Wlllys that he will guarantee to pull 35 bags of cement or Ihit cords of gum wood up Caesar’s Head mountain in high gear. Paul also wishes to find the one stealing his Christmas oranges. He wants to buy them a crate for Christmas. It is very interesting to hear Gor don (“Roundhead”) Leslie tell of his trials and triumphs as he loamed the seven seas with the U. S. navy. Monroe Collins is elected the of- \av\^ (' ‘h I/ ''SEVERAL YEARS AGO VOUR SALESMAN TALKED WITH FATHER ABOUT A POLICY. . .'WELL HE'S READV TO TALK BUSINESS," Five-Year Service Club News By RICHARD LANDECK The club wishes to extend its usual warm welcome to the follow ing employees who, having re turned from military service, have also become members of the Five year Service Club: Ralph C.

We also extend a welcoming hand to sUll another group who have become members since we went to press: William David Sams, Paul V. Simpson and Conley V. Me. Kinnish. Well, boys and girls, this club is growing, but fast. The next meet ing promises to be a big one. The Athletic Committee has been active in planning a round of sports. II may be a wise thing for some of you members to do a bit of practice bowling. As Dame Rumor has it: some sort of bowling matches are being arranged complete with prizes and everything. At any rate, it won’t be long until spring is here again, and here is your big chance to be well limbered up for that grass cutter next summer and have fun doing it. The entertainment committee ficial Pulp Mill Santa Claus so if you have any gifts to give please let Monroe handle the details for you. Merry Christmas, everybody, and a Happy New Year. THE IRISH AGAINI A lordly limousine was foUowed through the congested traffic by an antiquated “jalopy.” The limou sine stopped suddenly and the ja lopy crashed into it A policeman came out and asked the driver of the jalopy for his name and addess. “Paddy Murphy,” was the reply “Begorra, is it now?” said the officer. “Hold on a minute while I give the other fellow a ticket for backin’ into ye.” has also been busy hunting for tal ent for a 3 act play to be given at the next meeting. The play selected is PETTICOAT FEVER by Mark Reed, and the cast is as follows Leon English, Ernest Burch, Lloyd Harrison, Sonya Colwell, Luke Har rison and Eileen Nelson. The play will be given in honor of Mr. Straus’ birthday and all em ployees are invited to attend whether or not they are members of the Five Year Service Club. John A. Brewer is recovering from an automobile accident at Mission Hospital in Asheville. Last reports disclosed that he is doing fine. Bill Bangs is another patient a1 Mission Hospital and has had an operation. He is also recovering rapidly. Both of you boys are missed a great deal aroimd here So hurry and get well. And still another patient, Lita Steppe, whom we miss equally as much at the plant. She is recu perating at home from a recent operation. The club wishes to extend its sincere sympathy to Margaret and Bill Hannan on account of the death of their mother. Margaret is employed in our New York office and Bill was our former cashier before entering the navy. So members, this probably will be the last news column to reach you before Christmas and perhaps the last of this year—1845. It has been a fast, hectic year—full of victorious news for all of us. The New Year, 1946, promises much in the way of progress. You need only to look about you here at Ecusta to see it. We enter the year 1946 with none of the worries and tension of war in our minds. We are free to work and progress and really live again as we wish. There Is much to be done in 1946. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to it Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to every one of you. See you all at the next meeting. Refining Dept. NeWf By JACK RHbDES It sure has been a short yew. Here it is Christmas again and we are all thankful that quite a few of our boys are back from the ser vices.
