LOOSE ENDS
AND AUTOBOUND
By Margaret Smith and Sara Loftis
We are glad that our relatives and friends
had the opportunity of going through the plant
on the Family Days.
Hovey and Alberta Talley attended the Indian
Fair at Cherokee recently. Also Violet Lyday
who went with some of her friends, on Saturday
night.
Those who are taking advantage of the Singer
sewing class in Asheville each Thursday night are
Laura Pharr, Tulen Israel, Margaret Smith, Dot
Gray, Ann Misenheimer and Marie Smith. We
hope these girls will model their dresses for us
when they are finished.
Taking vacations from this department this
month are Clara Bryson, Edna Oliver, James
McDowell, Alma Holtzclaw and Irene Staton.
Most of them stayed home and rested.
We miss Thelma Snyder who is out from work
due to an operation.
Since the Smokies are at their height in fall
colors, Carolyn Garren, Tulen Israel, Edith
Wright and Dixie Whitaker visited them on
Sunday.
Lillian King is having the inside of her house
remodeled.
Maymie Reynolds showed us the picture of
her new grandbaby. It’s easy to see why she calls
it her "pride and joy.”
So long folks; next month Eula will be your
reporter.

Glad to be back with you this month.
Arnold Anders was passing out cigars the 7th
of September.' Guess you know what that means.
He’s a papa of a big boy, born September 7th.
He also has two other children, one born Sep
tember 7, 1944 and one born September 6, 1946.
Seems as though September is his lucky month.

Some of us were crowing recently about hav
ing been with the Company nine years. We are
only biddies. Here are some old timers connected
with Endless Belt. Mr. Pete Eberle has passed his
26th year while Mr. Otto Goepfert has passed his
25 th anniversary. Jack Davies has built 18 years,
Dick Landeck 16 and Fritz Brauer 14.
. . . .We are so glad Amanda
Powell is able to talk again after a tonsillectomy
the first week in October. It was so quiet while
she was sick. Mildred Batson has returned to
work much improved after a severe attack of
sciatica. Mary Price, Flora Perkins, Martha Har
ris and Lucy Smith have also been on the sick
list and we are delighted to have them back . . .
We still have a few vacations hanging over in
our department. Lois Osteen is planning to go
to Richmond this month and Jo McConnell spent
two weeks at Daytona Beach recently and Evelyn
Morrow enjoyed a good rest at home ....
Gene Eggert and his wife and mother left for
a vacation trip to Texas and Mexico October 9.
They will visit Gene’s sister and his wife’s brother
and other relatives and friends in Houston, San
Antonio and points across the border . . .
The mention of Texas reminds me that I had an
invitation to Ft. Worth myself October 13 for
the celebration of the 100th birthday of my great
aunt, Mary Sue Thorne Collins. She went to Ft.
Worth to live when she was 18. At that time
there were only three brick buildings in the town
which have long since been replaced by magni
ficent new ones.
Aunt Mary Sue’s grandfather was burned to
death at the age of 104. He went into the woods
where they were clearing up and swallowed
sparks. Yes, I’m proud of my old Aunt but my
Mother had two older great aunts who were sis
ters, one of whom lived to be 110 and the other
115 years of age.
"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be
rummaged for among old parchments or musty
records. They are written as with a sunbeam in
the whole volume of human destiny by the hand
of divinity itself, and can never be erased or ob
scured by mortal power.”—Alexander Hamilton
