Finishing Touches C Shift By DONNIE BALLARD Well, here we come breezing in with a bit of news from “good ole graveyard.” To start things rolling this month, Mary Martha Gardner, one of our reporters for this shift, ups and hands in her notice. She says she is housekeeping awhile in stead of making cigarette paper. Hate to give her up, but we’re wishing you the best of luck and all the happiness in the world in your recent marriage, Mary Mar tha. Glad to see some of our vaca tioners back including A. Smith (Smitty). Better watch how you climb on those piles of lumber, Smitty. Glad to have some new girls on our shift a couple of weeks. he got in the dog house. We wish to report that since the last writing the stork has visited Harry Ballard and Cline Allen, with two fine baby girls. Thanks for the cigars, boys! Last but not least we would like to mention the fact that in the Maintenance department there are several eligible bachelors (a few young ones) who could have run in a Sadie Hawkins Day race in case any young Daisy Maes would have liked to speculate. Refining News Shift “A” By EARL GRAY C. Shift came in for a landing and captured the weight length contest for the past month. Here’s hoping Shift A has better luck next time. We understand C Shift had its party in the cafeteria No vember 11. We. hope everyone will work harder each day, striving for a perfect scoire. W. W. Gillespie is back from a nice rest and vacation. Wake up, Doc, this is the last graveyard. Horace Blythe, who has been on vacation, says squirrels are as scarce as hen’s teeth this fall. Markley is back at work after several days’ absence because of the sickness of his sister who is much improved now. Here comes another coon story: It seems that Thad Newman and Speedy Jones treed one. Speedy said he would catch it if Thad would smoke the coOn out. After getting some pine and starting to smoke it out, Thad told Speedy to catch it and when Speedy was awakened by the smoke he called his dog. To his surprise, the coon had passed him up and ran off with his dog- Ask Winford Tweed if he knows how fast a coon can scratch with his ’hind feet. Joe McJunkin would like to find a pair of puppies. Harold Moss has found the kind Joe has been looking for — they are ALIBI dogs. They are trained not to bark if they have been tied to a telephone or telegraph pole. Anyone wishing further informa tion, see Moss, and he will be more than glad to go down to Floyd’s house with you. Lloyd Cable has been all smiles for the last few days. Why? It’s a boy—Harold Franklin Cable, PAGE THREE Eave Droplets From The Water Dept. By ANDREW HARRELL The short span from one issue of The Echo to the next one seems so short, we “drips”;—and few we are—hardly have time to make any news. Of course, a rainy day is news to us, bad news, but to the remainder of our fellow workers, it’s just a rainy day. James Winget attended the opening deer hunt in the Pisgah Preserve. He reports lots of deer just around the cove and out of range but no steak have we yet devoured. Better luck next time, Jim. Jason Orr is carrying a tune in his heart and a gleam in his eye. Could it be a certain somebody or just the flower of youth in bloom? Mr. H. F. Finck reports very nice progress in the erection of his new home on Still Hill. We all are waiting in anticipation for the house warming. We are again celebrating our annual day of Thanksgiving and I truly hope each and every one of us will endeavor to carry out President Truman’s request. We must be thankful for a nation of freedom and plenty but let us do it with tolerance and share with our fellow man — A HAPPY THANKGIVING TO ALL! I felt his soft breath on my cheek, And the gentle touch of his hand His very presence near me Like a breeze on a desert sand. He deftly sought my lips. And my head did gently hold. Then he broke the silence with, “Shall the filling be silver or gold?” arriving November 8, and weigh ing 7 lbs. 14 oz. Both mother and son are doing fine. Hotels in Rochester, Minn., home of the Mayo Clinic, have signs reading: “Please do not discuss your operation in the lobby.” Originator of her col umn, Across the Tracks, Betty Finck keeps Echo readers posted on hap penings at the XT Buil ding. Besides her writing ability, Betty is also an accomplished artist. Dona Wright, of Plant Research, is a depend able standby on the staff of Echo reporters. Her ’nose for news’ is keen and the result is a good column every month.
