Company Plots Will Again
Be Available Free
This Year
At a recent meeting of the
Garden Committee, plans for the
coming year were discussed, and
we are again going forward with
a big garden program. The Com
pany plots, which have been avail
able for the past three years, are
again being prepared for this
year’s use. Some plots are still
available, so if you don’t have
garden space at home, or need ad
ditional space, get your requests
in to your foreman without delay.
Those who had Company plots
last year will be given the same
plots this year, in as far as pos
sible. This will reward those who
kept their gardens weed-free last
year. Prizes will be awarded again
this year for the best gardens,
judged at intervals during the
season.
It cannot be emphasized too
strongly just how much home
gardens and home products are
going to be needed this year. With
great demands on transportation,
shortages of equipment and short
ages of normally available food
stuffs, our home garden products
are going to be needed possibly
more than during the war years.
A survey made by the National
Garden Institute indicates that
gardeners are eagerly responding
to President Truman’s urgent ap
peal for more home gardens. Pres
ident Truman has recently point

Ecusta, Champion
Bowlers Will Play
Exhibition Matches
After a three weeks’ slump, the
Ecusta bowling team came back
full blast by winning eight of their
last nine games. This streak of
wins placed our boys back in sec
ond place ahead of Holsum Bak
ers. Chris Rogers continues to lead
Ecusta bowlers with a 171 aver
age.
Bowling fans will be pleased to
hear that the League leading
Champion “Y” team will be guests
of the Ecusta team for an exhibi

Visits Ecusta
MRS. MARJORIE D. SPIKES
holds a post, new to diplomatic
staffs, in the British Embassy
in Washington, D. C. She is At
tache for Women’s Affairs and is
the first woman to ever hold a
position of this kind. She visited
Ecusta this month.
MRS. SPIKES IS
RECENT VISITOR
British Embassy Staff Mem
ber Makes An Inspec
tion Of The Plant
Mrs. Marjorie D. Spikes, a mem
ber of the British Embassy staff in
Washington as Attache for Wom
en’s Affairs, recently visited Ecu
sta. She was accompanied by sev
eral members of the Business and
Professional Women’s club of
Asheville, including Mrs. Curtis
Crump, Dr. Mary Westall, Dr. Mil
dred I. Morgan, Mrs. Roy Ordway,
Miss Lottie Salley, Miss Marie
Shank, Miss Eolis Greenlee, Miss
Katherine Black and Dr. Elizabeth
H. Ramsey.
The party arrived at noon and
after having lunch in the cafeteria
was taken through the plant
by Miss Dorothy Johnson and Mr.
Ray Hooper. Mrs. Spikes, who is
the first woman to ever hold a po
sition of this kind, was most en
thusiastic about Ecusta.
After completing the tour she
stated that she and the members
of her party had thoroughly en
joyed the visit. “We were especial
ly delighted,” she said, “with the
comfortable lighting of the va
rious areas, the clean floors, and
the delicious food we were able
to get in the cafeteria. Our guide
was courteous and well-informed,
and took great pains to explain
clearly the various steps in the
process. The making of the small
books of cigarette paper was par
ticularly interesting.”
