MACHINE BOOKLET & AUTOBOUND MACHINE ROOM By Margaret Smith, Sara Loftis and Eula Landreth We were all glad to see Evelyn Taylor Smith, a former employee, on her recent visit at Ecusta. Evelyn is now living in the State of Washington. We have had several employees taking their vacations since the last issue of The Echo: Sara Loftis spent her vacation at home with her daugh ter, Peggy, who is in Nurse’s Training at Mission Hospital in Asheville. Margaret Smith reported a wonderful vacation in Indianapolis. Alberta Talley visied her parents in Salem, S. C., went fishing at Santaleh Lake, and did som.e carpenter work at home. Congratulations to Evelyn and Vernon Reese, who have a baby girl. Baby siting is a swell vaca tion, eh, Vernon.^ Off to Texas” for Carolyn Garren to spend a couple of weeks in the Lone Star State. Wish we could all go along. Others taking vacations were: Edna Carter, Mary Galloway, Edna Oliver and Alvin Blythe. We are glad to have Eula Landreth back after an extended leave of absence. Penny Tinsley spent a couple of days in the hospital. Hope she can soon be back with us again. By Burder Teague and Robert Head Guess everybody had better sit down before reading the following article—it’s about a fishing experience (or knowledge.?) some of our Machine Room men have had. Now you people who are not interested in fishing don’t stop reading, and to you experienced fishermen you will be flabber gasted—why?—Because of all the time you have wasted fishing in fishless cove or wherever you might have been fishing and not catching any fish. Now, first, you must understand that this is not a joke. I hate to write this, but it has been told for the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the You’ve heard all kind of tales of how to catch fish, and fish were caught, and you’ve been on a lake and seen them jump out of the water and also have seen how fish go in schools. You may have seined and caught some fish, but dear brother have you ever seen anyone smelling fish out that are fresh unhooked, and still in the lake. That’s exactly what the following men say, and I repeat they say: Tom Stroup, Coy Fisher, Spurg eon Queen and Wilson Gregory. The method used is simply this: get into a boat, go up the lake until you smell something like a stagnated gold fish bowl—Stop, for there is where the fish are— All you have to do is drop your hook overboard and start fishing, throwing all small fish back into the water, because there are larger ones in there. If you don’t have any luck at this point, better check the bow of your boat, there may be a small bream left in there from the last fishing trip. Don’t carry your goldfish for bait, because you might be fishing all over the lake, in the wrong spots. Any one in doubt about this ask Turtle Snake Gregory. Congratulations to the Yankees on winning the 1951 Interdepartmental Baseball League crown. Shown above are Mary, left, and Peggy Kilpat rick, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James Kilpatrick. They are mascots for the "Echo Inn Cloggers”, and have danced at the Canton and Asheville folk festivals. THINGS TO FORGET Forget the slander you have heard, Forget the hasty, unkind word. Forget the quarrel and the cause. Forget the whole affair, because, Forgetting is the only way. Forget the storm of yesterday, Forget the trials you have had Forget the weather if it’s bad, Forget the knocker, he’s a freak; Forget him seven days a week.
