Page Ten ALUMINUM PLANT SAFETY COMMITTEE NO. 4 Top Row, Left to Right; H. C. Jenkins, Jno. McGregor, F. M. Herndon, Russell Leatherwood Bottom Row, Left to Right: W. D. Kitchen, Harry Standridge Mr. A. D. Howell has installed an air motor in the calciner, which works very nicely on hoisting materials to the third floor when the benches are being re paired. Mr. Black says the paving job at the end of the Baking Furnaces will last quite a while if the policy of “put them down and take them up” remains in force. The foremen and operators over in the Carbon Plant are shouting, tantalizing, hypnotizing, terrorizing—anything to get the bonus. We’ll say they will get it. Two extrusion presses are now being operated, and Mr. R. E. Lee is busy hunt ing scale boards to put green carbons in. Better hide your lunch boxes. Boys. Only about a couple of weeks more, “B. S.” Keep your nerve. Old Boy. —L. G. D. News from Payroll Department Miss Lala Ferrabee has returned to her work, after spending two weeks’ va cation at her home in Mocksville, but only to stay with us for a short time. She leaves the nineteenth of June, pre paratory to accepting a very Important position, a lifetime job in Charlotte, on the twenty-third inst. All of her col leagues in this department regret to lose Miss Lala, and had wished for Dan Cupid to put off this part of his work as long as possible; but the little rascal refused to accommodate us. Consequent ly, the change. So it’s this way: our loss is the other employer’s gain; and we wish for them both God’s blessings and the very best of everything in this life. Mr. J. D. Kirk, who has been time checker in the Carbon Plant for two years and more, has been promoted as head time checker of all departments. Mr. Kirk is a very efficient man in that department, as well as one of the oldest men in the department, and we are con fident that he will handle the work with credit to himself and co-workers. Mr. W. F. Gambrell, formerly em ployed as extra time checker, has been transferred to the Employment Depart- ’ ment, to be manager of the boarding houses and lunch rooms operated by the Company. Mr. Gambrell is a very effi cient and trustworthy man, and will give entire satisfaction in this department. Mr. W. F. Bandy has been employed in the payroll department. We are glad to have Mr. Bandy with us. He is a valuable asset to this department, on account of his efficiency, having had previous experience in office work rela tive to, the payroll. Mr. M. P. Saunders, brother of Lucky Luke Saunders, of the Carbon Plant of fice, has been employed in the time checking department, and we predict for him much progress if he has only half as much luck as “Luke.” We are sorry to report the sickness of Mrs. T. P. Efird, and hope for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. L. R. Upchurch we are also sorry to report as slightly indisposed, and also hope for her a speedy recovery. Mr. A. P. Dickens succeeds Mr. R. E- Mills as time checker in the Rodding room. He had formerly checked the night shift in the Machine Shop and Carbon plant. Mr. W. H. Hargrave has been trans ferred from clock house No. 39 as clock house attendant to the night shifts in Machine Shop and Carbon Plant as time checker. Notes from the Main Office Miss Gladys Fuller and Miss Ruth Kendall are taking no chances with the summer sun. Maybe when the young forest that has been planted in the desert springs up they will try walking again; but just now they can’t see it. Mr. James Greene is the proud father of a new daughter. James was unfor tunate enough to lose a time-honored hat in the celebration of the occasion. Mr. Harry Swindell became dissatis fied with the progress of the Peace Treaty or something, and took a little jaunt up to Washington lately. Mr. Harry Smith visited in Raleigh and other points recently. We can't say yet whether or not he went for a try-out on the Raleigh team. Miss Lillian Cornish is spending her vacation at Winston-Salem. She expects to visit relatives in Virginia before her return. Mr. R. V. Richards is spending some weeks at the Pittsburgh office. In his absence, Mrs. Richards is at the Badin Club. In the only game of the Departmental League played by the office team, lost to the Construction team 9 to 8. Mr. J. T. Gale, who is taking a course in dentistry at an Atlanta College, was a recent visitor in the office.
