PAGE TWELVE THE ECHO February, ATTENTION: Five-Year Service Club Members The Athletic Committee has received permission from the Board of Directors to provide for a mixed dou bles bowling event for all of the members of this club. Prizes will be awarded to the five winning teams. The dale has not as yet been set; how ever keep this in miind and notices will be posted short ly throughout the various departments announcing the date and further details. PETE EBERLE, Chairman, 5 Year Service Club Athletic Committee. so HE WEARS SAFETY SHOES The hum of a thriving business came to an abrupt halt after G. W Baron, who walked into a safety shoe store in Panama City, Fla. took a seat, pulled up his trous er leg and asked to have a pair of shoes fitted to his artificial limbs. Things like this do not happen pen every day and clerks and management, not to mention cus tomers, may be pardoned if they took time out to listen. And there is a lesson to be learned. It is fairly simple; arti ficial feet such as Mr. Baron wore, cost $300 a pair. While there would be no physical pain there would be much financial anguish if a heavy piece of steel should crush one. Hence he protects them with safetoes. Mr. Baron lost his feet when a boy. In spite of his handicap he has become a painter, motion pic ture operator, and truck driver. Nor is he very hard to please. If the shoe pinches he takes a pen knife and whittles a little away from the toe, or he may add a little here and there to make it a snug job. But he can’t whittle away too much because the mechanism must be protected. The lesson to be learned is that if it is worthwhile to pro tect a pair of artificial feet, how could any intelligent man fail to protect good ones? Announce Marriage In Clayton, Ga. Announcement has been made here of the marriage of Miss Sally L. Frank, of Brevard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Coy F. Frank, of Denton, to James D. Franks, son of Mrs. J. F. Payne, and the late C.

Grapefruit is so named because grows in bunches like grapes? Today one out of every three cars is 10 years old or o 1 d e r; three out of five are seven years or older? These war wearies are now going to the graveyard at the rate of 1500 a day. A new drug invented by Army doctors prevents seasickness yet leaves no hangover? Made of a barbituate and belladonna deriv ative, it will soon be on the civil ian market. Telephones are 0. K. but many women have been getting their ny lons by grapevines.

HAROLD BROWN, left, and TED REESE, right, former Main Office employees, had a grand time when they met unexpected ly in the Philippines. Judging from the letter received from them they had a grand time talking over old times. Not only are they both from Ecusta, but worked here at the same job and both live in Hendersonville.
