OFFICE BITS
By HOWARD SCHMIDT
As you know by now, the Echo
Staff has lost a good re
porter, Thelma Alexander. Thelma
resigned to take care of Randolph
Jackson Alexander, a six-weeks
old boy whom she and Jack adopt
ed. When last seen. Jack was
showing Randy how to swing a
bat and Thelma was making plans
for the future baseball star. We
all wish Jack and Thelma lots of
happiness and good luck with
Randy.
The saddest thing to happen to
the Main Office in years was the
passing of Mr. Lorenzo Maney af
ter a lengthy illness. Mr. Maney
was with us for five years and I
know we shall always remember
his smiling countenance and cheer
ful voice. Our deepest sympathy
goes out to you Bob, and all your
family.
Our sympathy also goes out to
“Chigger” Reese in the recent ill
ness of his wife, Fay. We are cer
tainly glad to hear that she is well
on the road to recovery.
By the looks of the diamond on
Virginia Taylor’s finger, it looks
like Dan Cupid is again at work
in the office. She and Charles
Pickelsimer of Brevard plan to
have the knot tied on November
23rd at the Methodist church in
Asheville. Lots of luck and hap
piness to the two of you.
Who said vacations were over?
It seems that almost everyone in
the office had a vacation this past
month. Marie Eggert took off with
her husband for Milwaukee. Viv
ian Summey took advantage of her
vacation to visit her husband who
is attending Photography school
in Washington.
Spud Carpenter spent his vaca
tion at home doing landscaping at
his new home out near the Coun
try club. Jean Whitmire is a very
happy girl now. She spent her va
cation going to New York to meet
her mother and brother who ar-

Here is bad news to begin with.
It concerns “Speedy” Jones. When
someone asked him what was
bothering him, he answered,
“Boys, I have just lost one of
the best dogs in this part of the
country — or at least it would
have been.” And that’s the sad
story. The Uplift Society of our
department did all it could to
help Speedy and I believe he will
overcome his loss. Pep up. Speedy,
perhaps the dog you thought
would be second best will prove
to be an even better one.
As this is being written, 0. W.
Harbin is still absent because of
an operation he had on his eyes.
We wish him the best of luck
during his sickness and hope he
is able to report to work soon.
Harold Moss reported a good
vacation even if the squirrels
were few and the corn brandy
even more scarce.
Your reporter’s vacation v,ias
nothing but rain, rain, rain. Go
out, get wet, then come in by
the fire and dry. J. B. Canup’s
was just about the same, we un
derstand—rain, work, and get
ting dry.
“C” Shift won the weight
length contest for last month.
It’ll be “Bingo” as soon as Dick
returns from his vacation.
Uncle Thad Newman is on his
vacation as this is being written.
We understand hunting was the
first item on his calendar—pos
sums, raccoons, and squirrels. If
we can remember to get the story
when he returns, we’ll let Echo
readers in on the news next
month . . . how many different
kinds of animals his dogs caught
or trailed; and just how well old
Trim did.
Coy Surrett says laying con
crete blocks and working grave
yard is definitely a man’s job.

And This Is Proof!
“Beginner’s Luck” is the
way the departmental reporter
captioned this picture of Ray
mond Nicholson of the Chemi
cal Lab and his 16 lb. 4 oz.
striped bass which he caught
at Narragansett, R. I. The bass
was 27% inches long and was
certainly one of the finest
catches made by an Ecustan this
year.
past few weeks. I don’t think
anyone has been very sick. If so,
there has been no report to us.
A few headaches, of course, but
nothing serious.

This is the prize-winning photograph taken by
Dick Landeck. The title is an apt one, and Aaron
Masters, sixth grade student at Conoestee Falls
“STUDYING AMERICAN HISTORY”
school is the model. Maybe Aaron will get time
to study his book sometime, but The Lone Ranger
must be read first!
