LOOKIN’ THROUGH THE MILL WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS INSPECTION NEWS By Kennenth McDaris The boys in Inspection are looking forward to Thanksgiving for at least two reasons. The rabbit and bird hunting season opens that day and some are expecting turkey and pumpkin pie. As the Pilgrims did, we should give thanks for an abundant harvest. In thinking of this, I decided to "scout around” and see what the boys have in their freezer lockers. Wayne Nicholson has corn, strawberries, chicken, pork and beef in his locker. Doyle Wells has corn (on-the-cob and off) lima beans, green beans, okra, strawberries, peaches and poultry. His vegetables were grown on an Ecusta garden plot. D. L. Thorne and Earl Garren have filled their lockers with beef.. Wel don Gillespie has a half a hog and 21 fryers in his locker. Ned Medford has strawberries, rasp berries, cherries, chicken, beef and pork. Ulysses Summey has corn, strawberries, veal, chicken and pork. Ralph and Raleigh Waldrop have their lockers partially filled with vegetables and chick ens. They are saving some space for beef. Most of these fruits, vegetables and meats were grown on their own farms or gardens. Most of those taking vacations this month will hunt. These include Doyle Wells, Ned Medford, Ralph Waldrop, J. T. Hollis, Randall Lankford, Claude Glazener, Raleigh Waldrop, Edith Sum mey, Blanche Jones, D. L. and Juanita Thorne, Ben Bishop, Naomi Waldrop, Mary Sue Jennings, Russell Mason, Hershel Galloway, Ralph Brown, Roy Head, Jack Hogsed and William Bly Rogers. Oscar Lothery and D. L.

This 6,000 acre island owned by Jack Maybank, brother of the Senator, is well stocked with deer, ’coon, wild turkeys, pheasants and wild hogs. Frank’s party got one deer.
