PAGE SIX THE ECHO February, 1946 G OOLSBY LEANING By JOHN H. GOOLSBY Well, the dead line has caught me and as always I am the last one to make a move, just sitting here thinking of this cold Febru ary and listening to people com plain of the fuel situation (which I believe every one has had). If these same people would think back to this same month many years ago when George Washing ton and his little band of patriots, faced the terrible winter at Valley Forge, bare-footed, no warm cloth ing as we have today, and very lit tle to eat, those were the hardships they went through that we might be free people today. Today we have almost everything that we want, (certainly the necessities of life.) It is mighty easy to over look the important things of our time. You remember Huey Long’s ser mon was; every man a King, which we know was silly! But this one thing does make sense, every person that works here is a hu man being, and that to me is im portant, as you come and go about the plant and hear a friendly greeting or a word of praise from your fellow worker or perhaps your foreman, and man, oh man you can feel your stock begin to soar. Here is a little poetry I would like to use at this time. Your job is important, don’t think it is not, So try and give it the best that you’ve got; And don’t think ever you’re of lit tle account. Remember you are a part of the total amount. If they didn’t need you, you would n’t be there— So always my lad, keep your chin in the air, A pulp man, a machine man, me chanic or clerk. Think well of your Company, your self, and your work. Anon. Well, here is a story— 'Sometime ago I was in the Tran sylvania Community hospital to have my tonsils removed, and a small girl had the same operation the same morning. Her father was at her bedside and she was plenty sick. He didn’t have any hospital insurance and was paying cash on the barrel head for every thing. Her father was trying lo get her to take some medicine they had brought, and she was still very stubborn about it. Her father finally said, “Look, honey, your daddy paid good money for this medicine and he does not want it wasted.” “O.K.” she said, “I will take it.” After a few seconds had elapsed she called, “Daddy, if you think we can afford it I would like to ‘frow’ up.” Something to remember—any thing you can do or think you can do, begin it today for courage has power, genius, and magic in it. Here is a story that a friend of mine was telling me— I had several stately oaks in my backyard and during the ice age, around Christmastime, Qur cat used to play in those trees. He )vould run up and down this par- r—Turn To Page Fifteen WOMEN NATURALW B1G6ER LIARS THAN MEN?V iSlfi Hv> THERE SUCH A THING AS A CRIMINAL TYPE? Pl MORE LIKELY TO FEEL *50RRY FOR. Himself/A MAN OR A WOMAN? IT TRUE THAT GENIUS IS THE NEXT THIN& TO INSANITY? ORDINARY EOPLE EVER HAVE- HALLUCINATIONS TO THE POINT No. Exhaustive tests have proved that appearance cannot be used in distinguishing criminals from non-criminals. 2. Not at all. As a matter of fact, the higher one’s metality, the less likely is he to beicome disturbed by the daily problems Which must be solved. 3. Yes. An hallucination Is the belief that you see, hear, taste^, smell or fed something when actually there Is nothing there. Who of us can say that he has never had this sensation? 4. A woman. Women have the innate characteristic of feeling inferiority and this, together with the submissive role desig nated to them by society, makes them more likely to feel self- pity than men. 5. No. There is no significant difference in the honesty of men as compared with that of women. In fact, psychologists tell us that there is no inherent trend of honesty in anyone, but that honesty is learned. Five-Year Service Club News Our Secretary, Mr. George Hey- man, announced at our last get to gether, (we won’t call it a meet ing due to the fact that it ad journed so quickly in order to get on with the show) that the Five- Year Club had passed the five hun dred mark in membership. That, boys and girls, is quite a figure when you consider Ecusta is a com paratively young corporation. It also proves, beyond a doubt, that a lot of people are content with their work, which in these days is real ly' something to be proud of. And with so many of our boys and girls coming home from service to take up their old jobs again, our Club is growing faster. Now to get back to the show, “Petticoat Fever”. Perhaps we should let you all in on this: Ellen Sentelle, the Clara of the show, is slated to become a Five-Year Club member in the near future. And so are Hazel McKinney Reece and Willie Prince. To Ellen, the Five- Year Club extends its profound thanks for a job that has been done equally as well as any of the best amateur aqtresses we have seen. We wish to comment also on the magnificent performance that was given by Ernie Burch, the Sir James Fenton, in the play. Both the part and the player were made for each other. That English ac cent was the thing that helped put it over—to say nothing of the su perb acting. Swell job, Ernie. Also on our list of thanks—Lloyd Har ris, who carried the burden of prompter besides his role of Cap tain John Landry; Leon English, as the Eskimo Kimo, who won dered whether to use the curtain rope to go seal hunting or just wrap something up with it; Fred McCann, as Scotty, who also served as the curtain raiser. By the way. Mac, did you ever get that rope fixed? Thanks to Hank Newbury, who served as property man for the play. To “Parson” Luke Harrison, Sonya and Bill, to the boys who set up the stage, to John Eversman and Lucille Heff ner for the sound effects and in cidental music, and to those who attended our first play, the Fivq- Year Club says thanks, rather sim ply, but from the heart—we assure you. Now to our list of new mem bers, home from the wars, back to peace and the things that they left behind: Carrol E. Patton, Edward V. Drake, Edward Conley, Joe Mc- Junkin, Charles J. Mitchell, Ho race W. Hall, Hubert E. Medford, William H. Laughter, Homer L. Hubbard, Elijah M. Mooney, Wil liam A. Hannan, Lewis C. Bawgell, Eddie T. Moss, Fulton Holliday, Frank A. Smith, Winborne L. Gash, Harold C. Meisenheimer, Walter F. Clubb, William A. Bowen, Ralph L. Waldrop, Joe E. Jones, William C. McClung, Sam Gordon, Ernest G. Allison, Benedict L. Bakowski, Manfred Landeck. The following employees have In the footprints on the sands of time some people leave only thfl marks of a heel. Love starts when a woman sinks into a man’s arms but it winds up with her arms in a sink. Pleasure may be something you take or something you give, but happiness is always something you share. Some people would get along better financially by spending less money than they haven’t earned, for things they don’t need, to im press people they don’t like. Honestly now, have you ever met anybody who gave you as much trouble as yourself? Plant Research By DONA WRIGHT Mrs. Vannah has had to spend some time in the Brevard hospital due to illness, but she has returned home and is now improving. She and Mr. Vannah have had a very pleasant visit by their daughter, Mary, who is a nurse in Duke hos pital. Josephine Powell and some oth er people have been ‘cruising’ through Florida recently. Jo says they had a wonderful time. They spent some time in St Augustine, where they drank from the foun tain of youth, and also visited sev eral other interesting cities. Mr. Fisher’s grandson, little Ed die White, has been very sick. Ed die is improving now and we hope will soon be well again. In the near future Carolyn is ex pecting her English sister-in-laW to land in the States. May she find America a wonderful place iD which to live. Lillie, since your young son has just brought a load of tomatoes from the sunny South, why not bring us a few nice tomato sand wiches. After all, they would ‘hit the spot’ you know. Our department is glad to have had several visits by Mr. Loeb, who has recently returned to tb® California (Central Fiber Corp. also completed five years of con tinuous service and have become members of the Five-Year Service Club: Daniel M.

With the coming of spring (if ** ever gets here), our thoughts turn to Camp Sapphire and picnic** boating, swimming, and perhaps fishing. We can think of no bet ter place to regain our old peP than at Sapphire in our leisure hours. Even to stop by on the WJy home for a short swim helps to get you set for the next day. The loca tion is ideal for those of us wb® live in or near Brevard. So let’* use it. Our sincere sympathies to ouT Vice President, Coy Fisher, for the recent loss of his mother. A reminder—Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 5th. —By Richard Landeplf-
