ACROSS THE TRACKS
By Betty Finck
Today, I noticed a "golden leaf”! It hardly seems
possible that the summer is almost over and the
cool, fresh breezes of autumn are approaching
rapidly.
We all welcome Hilda Kaltenbach who has
joined our Technical department office staff.
This month many have been enjoying the ocean
breezes. Bob Peckham and his wife spent a glorious
vacation at Myrtle Beach. Martha -Sellers went
to St. Augustine and other interesting places in
Florida and while there found many new speci
mens for her collection. Also traveling to St.
Augustine for their vacation were Pete Muffat
and his wife. Pete obtained one of those wonder
ful Florida suntans!
Olan Hall and his family have moved into their
newly erected home on Monroe Street.
ORIGIN OF THE WEDDING CAKE
The wedding cake had its origin in Roman
times when the bride and groom together ate a
cake made of salt, water, and flour, according to
the Encyclopedia Britannica. The cake has become
more and more elaborate through the ages, cul
minating in the high-tiered pastry of today.
Signs of the Times—Quizzed in a newspaper
contest on the subject, "What I Want In My
Postwar House,” one entrant replied in a single,
well-chosen word—"Me.”
Mhs Gtiyma Lorraine Stov
er, daughter of Mrs. Russell
Batson of the Cafeteria staff,
was married to jack Fenwicke
Sunday afternoon August 8
at the Brevard Methodist
Church. An informal recep
tion was held at the home of
the bride’s mother and the

reception.
