Sam?

Office Bits
By FELICIA EDWARDS
Football season is here again,
and most of the office force is
taking advantage of it. Those who
went to the Furman-South Caro
lina game report a grand time. By
the way, Harvey, in the future
you’d better watch your step when
you go wandering around in
strange gardens.
It’s nice to have Betty Sue Til-
son with us again after an ab
sence of two weeks. She says that
losing one’s appendix isn’t a very
pleasant experience.
The Personnel department fi
nally got moved into their new of
fices and seem to be very pleased
with their surroundings.
We welcome Alexander J. Duris
and Otis G. Morgan to the office
force and hope they will like
working with us.
Pat Hodson has just returned
from Tampa, Fla., where she was
called due to the illness of friends.
She reports that both Mr. and Mrs.
Ritter are much improved.
Chigger, what kind of watch did
you say you were thinking of giv
ing to Mildred?
Those taking vacations this
month were: Katherine Kirk, Carl
Stephens, Charles Dunlop, Harry
Byers, Harvey Souther, Relja Rus
sell, Pearl Hamlin, Lita Steppe,
and Ted Reese.
So long till next month.

"TMIS PAPER IS VERV POPULAR.
FOR CHILDRENS ROOfAS."
Refining News
By JACK RHODES
Here it is deadline time again
and as per usual, I am late.
First right off the bat, hats
off to Clifford, Leland and Paul.
They finally have been able to
show Thad Newman that they are
coon hunters. On vacation now,
they left promising some hair-rais
ing tales when they got back.
Ed Whitmire spent his vacation
making “lasses” and made enough
so that he won’t have to buy any
breakfast cereal for quite a while.
Les Bryson is not on vacation
but he is sure bringing in the
meat. Les bought a new gun the
other day and killed a nice 125
lb. bear the next day. Now he
does it—since the meat shortage
is over, so are price ceilings.
If you’d care for jitterbugging,
see “Jit” Mills or myself. We
worked ourselves into a lather the
other night and only succeeded in
keeping the neighbors awake. In
cidentally, Jimmy is also a fair
Pinochle player.
Clannie McGaha seems to be in
a good humor these days, his
beagle is near hunting age and he
loves to chase rabbits (cats, too).
Cleat Hardin has been promoted
to be “coffee-getter” in place of
Ralph Nicholson and is fast be
coming popular.
Jack Wilbur and A1 Montville
made a fast trip over to see Ten
nessee whip Alabama. Jack’s team
won but he’s still griping. Should
n’t give so many points, Willy.
“Speedy” Jones has received a
warning from the “Up-lifting
Society” not to hunt out of sea
son, hunt without license, trespass
or buy himself another dog. The
one he has is good only for pole
cats and ’possums. “Snatch” Moss
is president, Guy Emerson, Sgt-
at-arms, and “Doc” Gillespie is
Sheriff of the “Up-Lifting Soc
iety.” If that society can keep
Enno Camenzind from tradine
new cars. Bud White in lighter
fluid, and keep J. B. Rogers out
of his beaters, why then, I’m all
for it!
Rupert Gordon has been out
«ick for a few days and we hope
to see him back soon.
Our congratulations to Floyd
^vans on his recent marraige to
Miss Helen Kimzey of the Piiln
Mill office. Flovd is one of the
oIde*t men In the department and
everyone wishes them smooth sail
ing.
The engagement of Caskell
Rhodes to Miss Helen Smith has
been announced, the wedding to
take place in November. Miss
Smith is from the Mill Office
and Caskell, also a five-year man
and a beaterman, is from Refin
ing. To all four of you people, the
best of luck.
Lamar Hamilton had the mis
fortune to fall last week and suf
fers a gash on his forehead and a
badly bruised elbow. He is re^
covering nicely and says he won’t
try to slide under any more boxes.
“Gizzard” Thomas is one of the
hardest men to get a bet with (that
I know of). On the Army-Duke
game he actually refused to give
me 28 points on Army. Huh, the
tightwad!
Sam King is building a house on
his five days off and Cleat Hardin
and Herman Brown will furnish
nails, he is going to let them help.
Lloyd McGaha and Jimmie Cox
say that they surely will be glad
to get back on graveyard.
I hope the next alarm clock
that Jimmy Mills gets has a set of
instructions with it. He has for
gotten how to set the alarm to get
up by in the mornings.
That’s about enough—so long,
folks!

«D” SHIFT
By BILL HENSON
Well, here we go again. Another
month has rolled around and still
not very much Refining news.
Clarence Israel was out from
work two days last week with
“coffee colic.” It doesn’t seem
that drinking just two pots of cof
fee would give one the “colic,”
does it?
Just wonder what Bill Anders
was looking for in the parking lot
the other day. Hope you found it.
Bill.
From the description Maise Har
din gave us of the Hendersonville
Fair, we are wondering if he ac
tually got to the fair grounds??
Anyone seeing a horse floating
down the river, please notify Wal
ter Nicholson at once!
Jerry Freeman will probably
have a hoot owl for sale now as
meat is more plentiful.
Allen Kimzey was transferred
