Versatile Hobbyist
One of the most versatile hob
byists here is Martha Sellers, of
Research.
Even though her butterfly col
lection is her pet, she has a va
ried assortment of minerals, arrow-
lieads and wood carvings. Add to
these, her musical and art talents,
and you have an individual of all-
round ability.
She has more than 70 species of
butterflies and moths, carefully
®nd beautifully arranged in glass
frames. Although she has been
Collecting them for only four
years, Martha says she has been
Sreatly interested in nature all of
^er life. She has species from In-
'iia. Africa, Madagascar and other
foreign countries. Most of her col
lection is local.
“I guess I think more of the
®ne from Madagascar than any of
the others,” Martha replied when
®sked if she had any favorites in
the collection.
Her wood carvings are very
Petite. The harp and piano are
*^arved from cherry wood while
the violin is shaped from soap
stone. “I don’t suppose a lady
should carry a pocket knife,” Mar
tha says, “but that’s what I do
carving with.”
Martha likes to draw, has some
'''ell-done works on the wall of her
room. She also sings and plays the
''iolin.
After reading of these varied
*^lents, our opening sentence
®bout Martha’s versatility is hardly
''ecessary, do you think??

Maintenance Departmental News
By EMMETT CLARK
With good old warm weather
here to stay (at least for a few
months) everyone is catching
sping fever. Some are taking va
cations and just resting and some
are taking fishing trips, etc.
Speaking of fishing, we see by
the papers that Ed Happ and fam
ily spent some time on the Flor
ida coast fishing—and with some
real luck. We hear he and his son
stand a good chance in the fishing
contests.
Hershel Edmundson and Bruce
Reynolds have been getting up at
4 o’clock in the mornings and
going to Cascade Lake fishing. As
yet we haven’t seen any proof and
we will also give them credit for
not telling about how big the ones
were that got away.
Dock Smallwood almost got
pushed into a pipe fitter’s job the
other day. He saw what was up,
he slowly came back down to the
floor.
Harold Torrence says next time
Jesse James and Lace Lance come
out and make fun of his little mule
he is going to slap a yoke right
around their necks and plow his
whole crop.
It has been alleged that Cabe
and Bruce Reynolds got their pic
ture taken somewhere on the mill
grounds. Wonder who will be able
to fixe the camera (for we know
it’s broken).
Bub Thompson and Shorty Whit
aker went for a cruise and big sea
fishing the second of this month
on Camp Sapphire Sound. After
they had gone out several miles
(feet). Bub saw a couple of Whales
(3” fish), he got sea sick and
Shorty had to bring him ashore
and take him home.
We understand that Jack Wilson
is growing himself a push broom
mustache while he is on vacation.
Now we hope he doesn’t get
chicken hearted and mow it off
because we would all like to see
it.
James Passmore went on a lit
tle trip to South Carolina some
time back and on his round got
mired up to the axles in the red
clay mud. A man came by riding
a donkey and James asked him if
he knew anyone who could pull him
out. The little man took James’
tire chains’ hooks from the car
and tied a knot in the donkey’s
tail; hooked the chains over the
knot, and out came the car!
All the men in Maintenance took
advantage of the Chest X-ray ex
aminations that were given here
at the plant during the week of
May 26.
Ben Rickman did a nice job
landing the plane which he was
flying after it ran out of gas near
Horse Shoe. He made a perfect
landing in a corn field with no
damage to the plane or himself.
Will Westall sits on his front
porch with a shot gun for fear
some certain fellows will dust his
bee hives with bean powder.
Newbury And Mann
Attend Safety Meet
Hank Newbury and Jerry Mann
of the Safety Department attended
the quarterly meeting of the West
ern North Carolina Safety organi
zation held last Friday night, June
20, at Champion Fibre and Paper
Company. Short talks by several
Champion foremen featured the
meeting. The session was held
here at Ecusta last quarter.
