By MARSHALL LOFTIS After having missed last month, here we are again with a little scratch, swept up in and around the warehouse. A good ball game, a better sup per, and bingo were the high lights of the department picnic held on July 29. It was well attend ed and among the winners were Fred Stroup and your reporter. Fred also received a corset as a consolation prize and with the help of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and John Eversman, found it too small The delivery crew went on shift work the first of the month and several of the boys have learned the definition of “graveyard.” Frank Walker made a trip to Georgia and in so doing, brought our bachelor ranks down one. We wish you a long and happy mar ried life, Frank. Although a little late, we want to welcome Haskell Whitmire to our section. Howard Watts has purchased and moved into a new home in the Blantyre section. A check up with Paul Bowen found him to be a fresh air fiend. He spent both weeks of his vaca tion camping; a way that we would all like to spend ours. Leonard Pressley is spending his vacation building himself a new home. Others taking their vacations during the past month were Stan ley Allison, Lyda Baynard, and Straley Morris. Now that crops have been “laid by”, Dillie Wilson is ready to sell his little gray mule. Any buyers? Charles Lance, who has been I going to Oteen hospital for a check-up each week, reports his condition much improved. He probably was referring to his physical condition and not his fi nancial condition. The cost of cars these days doesn’t worry Fred Whitmire, but we do wish he would keep them a little longer. His answer to that was that he wanted a little later model than that “horseless car riage” he owned last. The Echo news and my rent us ually are due at the same time, so now that this is taken care of, let me see if I can get up some money. See you next month! Refiningr News Shift “A” Inspection News By KENNETH McDARIS We welcome four new men in our department: James Byrd, James Misenheimer, Morris Ward, and Carmel D. Hall.

The Ecusta band did a lot of work at Sapphire, as well as having lots of fun. The band has really im proved since its music camp. The girls’ choral group is also well worth hearing and we hope to hear them again around Christ mas, if not before. The Coaching school boys are very proud of the emblems they wear on their sweat ers. We feel like saying thanks again, Ecusta, for all the privileges we enjoy at Camp Sapphire.

Maybe it’s because everyone ate too much turkey on Tuesday, August 12, at the Refining picnic at Camp Sapp hire. About 3:30 p. m. the crowd started coming and by supper there must have been at least 400 people there. There was an exciting ball game between Machine Room and Re fining Room and Refining came out on top with a score of 16-10. After supper, a Bingo party was held in the gym and many nice prizes were given to winners. Everyone seemed to have had a most enjoyable time. “A” Shift wishes to thank our company for making it possible for these get-together suppers of dif ferent shifts and departments. We think our picnic was one afternoon —Tiirn To Page Six Lucky Grey Dawn, fme young collie of Julia Morgan of Re- search, captured two nbbons in the recent puppy show held in Asheville.
