Refining Dept. News
(B Shift)
By JACK RHODES
Shifts A and B were given a big
turkey supper on September 1,
which was thoroughly enjoyed
To start the evening, we chose up
and had a softball game that was
really something to watch. Bill
McClung and “Fireball” John
Ball locked horns in a pitchers
battle that was highlighted by
Clonnie McGaha’s two home runs
Floyd Evans and Speedy Jones
also connected for the circuit. Ev
erybody had a good time with
but one casualty. George Mc-
Kinna tried to plow, up a brick
pile with his chin and had to go
to First Aid. It was a good ball
game, with Tod Newman’s “Old
Men’ going down by a score of
17—14.
After the ball game, supper
was served. Everybody acted the
gentleman but J. B. Rogers. Ev
erybody had two or three (Jack
Wilber and Thad Newman) help
ings of turkey, but not J. B. He
only had one helping, and six
(that I counted) large cups of
ice cream. Everybody seemed to
have plenty but Earl Gray. He
carried some home in his pock
ets.
Bingo was played at the par
vilion and several nice prizes
were passed out.
Mrs. Charlie Ashe won a pair
of nylon hose, and Charlie pout
ed all next day because she
wouldn’t let him make a skull
cap out of them.
Lloyd and Clannie McGaha
won enough caady and cigarettes
to last quite awhile. (So did I.)
Speedy Jones went to a lot of
trouble to prepare a special prize
for some of the grown-ups, but
it turned out that the little boy
who won it was just at the right
age to make Speedy’s prize use
ful, and was his face red, as he
tried to wisecrack at the boy.
We really had a nice time, and
to those folks who made it pos
sible and those who served at the
dining table so faithfully, our
sincere thanks for a delightful
evening.
Jack Wilber is the only fel
low I’ve ever heard of who Bingo-
ed and Wa-Hooed at "the same
time.
Picked up a nice piece of gos
sip. Understand that Enno is
planning to start a cattle ranch,
and Tod Newman is going to help
him in some capacity, “Cow
boy,” I reckon.
I hear that Bud White is quite
proud of his manly physique, as
long as he can hold his chest up.
We have several new men and
we hope their stay will be pleas
ant and long.
We are aJso glad to have L. W.
Hollingsworth back after serving
in the army for three or four
years.
The Refining bowling (eam is
planning for another season. With
the addition of “Pro” Russ Green
and other new men, we expect to
make a better showing this year.
“Dave Minor” Mills is sporting
a brand-spank new motorcycle.
So if you see a long red streak go
ing down the road, it ain’t the fire
engines,—it’s Jimmy.
Marvin McCall took his vacation
last month, and from the bear
tales that he has been telling, he
really had a nice time.
At long last, after several sea
sons of unfruitful hunting, Leland,
Clifford and Paul Hooper final-
ly brpught in four coon feet,
Ecusta “Champs” For Th ree Consecutive Years

Inspection News ^
By BUVEE CAPPS
So sorry—the gossip flew over
on the wrong side of the fence,
and we didn’t catch much, but we’ll
try to scare it out next time.
Wonder what is wrong with Ras-
tus? He tried to come to work
while on vacation.
Raleigh is still “hoarding” fur
niture.
It seems that everybody missed
their coffee—especially on grave
yard. Wonder where the “Brew
er” was?
Monroe has squirrel fever. The
only cure is a good rifle and an
early start.
Earl really misses a certain girl
who was transferred to Finishing
last week. We miss her, too, Earl.
We hope Ralph has a speedy re
covery from his attack of asthma.
D. L. and David are in the new
home business — David trying to
build one and D. L. buying one.
Who says Claude can’t eat corn
with his new teeth.
We notice Hubert wearing an
unusually long face. Wonder if the
transfer of his helper could have
anything to do with that?
Red Cagle calls himself “City
Dude” since he has moved into his
new home in the city. Says he
can’t associate with just anybody
any more.
Well, folks, we’ll be flapping off
for this time. So long.
P. S. — Gordon is handling the
word “t r u t h” mighty carelessly
again.

Our congratulations to Jack
Wilbur and Fulton Holliday on

Director, respectively, in the Five
Year Service Club. You folks who

ought to come on out. Couldn’t
help but notice “Chow-Hound”

other night. “Curly” English
ffoially stopped him, after he
had bucked the Jine three tiines!
So long!
