came to Badin with the gang in 1916,
has had varied experiences here.
® seems to have hit his stride, how
ever, as shift foreman on the North
ide on the day shift.
A. L. CULVEYHOUSE.
Arthur is a Maryville product. He
IS also one of the “old originals,” and
except for a few months’ work which
® put in for Uncle Sam has made his
home in Badin since May, 1916. Arthur
^fid Tip make a great pair. They are
ruly “friendly enemies,” and the rival-
between the North and South Sides
shift is a pleasure to behold,
^he advantage? Well, in order to be
sure you had better look it up today,
Gcause the percentages change almost
aily. Neither one is able to hold on to
6 top very long without challenge.
F. K. HAWKINS.
Mr. Hawkins came to Badin from
ew York in the early days, which must
3.ve been rather hard on a city
man! However, his ability to
^dapt himself to conditions has been ap
parent from the first. He has seen the
potrooms through all of their many ups
^nd downs, and it would be hard to pic-
them without him. As head of the
ipping Department his work has been
Jinusually good. Mr. Hawkins does not
elieve in making mistakes, as inven-
ories in his department will testify-

to
for
us how a Rodding Room should be run.
After he had done this thing he hated
leave and arrangements were made
his permanent transfer from the
Alcoa Works. As Bob Bogan puts it,
“All Mr. Kitchin has to do is to stand
in one corner of the Rodding Room and
things go beautifully.” That is the way
with some folks. They never get credit
for the hard work they do!
and after knocking around the Carbon
Plant for a while with his pot lining
department, finally took up his quarters
in the East end of building 30. We
firmly believe he is the premier pot
liner of the South.
W. D. KITCHIN
came to Badin as an expert,
e original idea was to have him show
F. M. HERNDON
“Jersey” did not come'to Badin with
the “old originals.” He preceded them.
JOHN McGREGOR
“Uncle Johnnie” came to us from
Asheville. It seems that he was at the
time searching for the “Promised Land,”
but the fact that he( has stayed with us
so long seems to indicate that he be
lieves that he has found it. He can do
anything from stone cutting to pipe fit
ting, and this versatility fits him mighty
well for his job as foreman of the mis
cellaneous gang.
R. C. LEATHERWOOD
“Rus” came to Badin in August, 1917.
He arrived just in time to help out con
siderably during those days after the
Narrows power was turned in. He is
a tappe;/ par excellence, and always
ready to help out the other fellow, as the
resistance pot crew will testify.

H. C. JENKINS
Mr. Jenkins needs no introduction to
the people of this section, as he claimed
Stanly County for his home long before
the power developments on the Yadkin
River were begun. Henry is all right
as long as the ore keeps rolling in regu
larly, bU|t he doesn’t care much for
