PAGE TWO THE ECHO DECEMBEB, 19^'^ Minute Interviews Question: “As a child, what gift or toy did you cher ish most at Christmas?” CHARLOTTE JOHNSON Charlotte Johnson, Autobound: “I got this Aunt Jemima and Uncle Remus doll family for Christmas. Their children’s names were Ada, Rebecca, and Lucille. I especially liked the doll, Ada, because one of my playmates’ name was Ada. I played with them and rocked them in a cradle until they were worn out.” EDNA McCRARY Edna McCrary, Endless Belt: “The toy which I remember most was a ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ tea set. I looked forward to every meal with great joy. I used this precious tinware until the wolf grew out of grandma’s nightcap and Little Red Riding Hood’s but ter had long since melted.” UNCLE “BILL” HEATON Uncle “Bill” Heaton, Mainte nance: “When I was growing up, it was different from what it is now at Christmas. I reckon I got the biggest kick out of a goat and a wagon my father gave me.” Jessie Snyder, Machine Room: “I had wanted a bicycle for a long time and when I was 12, my par ents decided I was old enough. With the bike, I didn’t have to JESSIE SNYDER worry about walking. Sometimes I had a flat of course, but 1 didn’t have to worry about things that an auto owner did.” Ina Lyday, Pulp MUI Office: “My favorite was a large doll. It was almost as large as I was at that time, but I managed to drag it around with me. How this doll survived is beyond me, but I’ve kept her for a long, long time.” Departmental News Refining News Shift “A” By EARL GRAY Well, it’s time for more news— and Christmas is too close for much to be circulating. ‘A” shift would like to thank the company for the fine Thanks giving dinner. It was enjoyed by everyone. Floyd Evans was among the re cent vacationers. H. Moss thinks those Alibi Dogs that we told you about last month should be almost perfect after Floyd had an entire week for in struction. One week of instruc tion doesn’t mean a lot to a dog of that calibre, though. Winford Tweed had the misfor tune of getting his foot hurt, but according to reports reaching us, he should be back with us in a few days. As this is written, Oscar Harbin is on vacation. It is reported that he is visiting friends in Winston- Salem. I know a fellow who wants to buy a good fox hound. If anybody can get in touch with Speedy Jones, have him see me at once on the No. 1 battery in the Re fining department. Shift “A”. Shift “D” won the weight length for the past month. Bingo! The weather man can’t seem to make up his mind whether it’s going to be cool, warm, or cold, so he has been giving it to us all in one day. There has not been much hunt ing of late on our shift, but there’s news involving some trades. Thad Newman has traded Old Trim. Thad says Old Trim was just a pup compared to his new dog—in size and voice, too. This new dog is easily trailed through the woods, for when he barks, the ground vl brates. Any person who doesn’t be lieve this, see Thad. He’s the one who told me. Incidentally, we think it would be wise for Thad to keep that new dog satisfied. He may start barking and dishes and window panes will begin falling everywhere! INA LYDAY Finishing Touches C Shift By DONNIE BALLARD To start things off this month, Margaret Bryson comes in wear ing a sparkler. When’s it to be, Margaret? M. Barton seems to have taken a fancy to skating without skates Careful, Marie, those legs are breakable. We are glad to hear that Glenn Kent is getting along nicely after an operation at Moore General hos pital. R. Stepp reports a nice vaca tion during which she visited relatives in Florida. T. Smith has also been vacation ing. We sure are missing A. Beou gher, who is on vacation, but we’re glad to have Dick Cassidy with us for awhile. We are sorry to lose Nancy Lytle, who has decided to devote her time to housekeeping. Nancy was married to Mr. Ray Case on November 30. Good luck, Nancy Bom to Mr. and Mrs. Ceivalle Adcock was an eight-pound boy, Steve Warren, on November 18. Mr. Adcock is employed in our de partment. Merry Christmas, folks!
