OFFICE BITS By Alex J. Duris Did you stop to realize that the various new cello phane plant buildings will rank as Transylvania county’s tallest skyscrapers? Just when you begin to think that most of the steel is in place, up pops the beginning of a new building. Harry Reese, as most of the readers know, is now with United States Marine Corps. Harry, we hope that your tour of duty is a short one, and that you will be back with us before too long. "Chigger’s” address; Cpl. Harry L. Reese, A Btry. 90mm 1st AAA Gun Bn. FMF, Camp Lejeune, N. C. Clyde Orr from our Main Office has enlisted with the Army Air Corps. We wish you the best of luck Clyde, and feel certain that you will like the Air Corps, as it is an excellent branch of the services. J. D. Finch has joined the Main Office staff. Welcome J. D.! Virginia Johnson recently went on vacation. A quiet, restful vacation mostly. Martha Frazier was another of the Main Of fice who had a vacation recently, but hers was quite exciting. Her daughter, Martha Lee Hudson, was married to James Calvin Scruggs. Hardly had the excitement of the wedding worn off, when Martha got a bad fright. While bringing up a box of clothes from a closet, a Copper Head snake slid out from the clothes. Martha naturally dropped everything and let out a screech! Charles Brewer has joined the ranks of the venerable benedicts! Congratulations to you and Mrs. Brewer! Bob Johnson forgot tariffs and rates for a while to enjoy a vacation early in October. Lloyd Tuck is back again at his old stand of business. Recently Howard Schmidt celebrated a birth day. He would not reveal which one it is. At any rate somebody requested Radio Station WPNF to play, "The Old Grey Mare Ain’t What She Used To Be”, and had it dedicated to Howard. Taint fair. Howard only has three grey hairs. Your writer took a short trip to Greensboro for his vacation. We missed connections at Spartan burg, and rather than wait there, we caught a oassenger local. That is one way to see the country ''t leisure. William (Bill) Hannan and Mrs. Hannan, re cently took a trip to Fort Benning, Georgia, to visit with Major and Mrs. Wm. Webb. Gertrude Morrison vacationed at Sanford, North Carolina, with her daughter, Mrs. Mayo L. Cameron. Gertrude had a nice vacation but a short while after had the misfortune of having to go to the hospital for a week. Hope you are feeling chipper by now. We are sorry to lose Edith Summey who has moved to Atlanta, where her husband is attend ing Emory University. We are happy to welcome Dan Ruby to Ecusta. Carolyn Ashworth was transferred recently to Mr. Matthew’s office. Virginia Stepp spent her vacation at her new home on Turnpike Road. There is nothing like having your own home, Virginia. Ralph and Katherine Russell took the second half of their vacation in mid-October. No travel ing this time, but a quiet rest at home and a couple of short trips to view the coloring of the autumn foliage. We were glad to have a visit from Ruth Buck ner and young son, Freddie, recently. Ruth was formerly employed in Mr. Wells’ office. We can’t find out if Hugh Bradburn was sing ing for his supper or not, but we did have a re port that he did most of the singing on the bus trip to Athens for the North Carolina-Georgia game on the 7th. Everyone reported a wonderful time. A member of the Personnel office has turned thespian on us. Mary Armfield has a role in the Brevard Little Theatre’s opening play, "Peg O’ My Heart.” We hear that Mary and Charles Glass are ac quiring a new daughter at the end of the month. Their son. Bill, will be married on October 28th. There is hardly a football stadium worthy of note, which will not be visited at least once during the current football season by one or more Ecusta football fans. It would be an impossible task to report on all of the fans, for it would take more space than this column is alloted. We will have plenty of food for some time to come according to the inventory of Uncle Sam’s storage, which includes 5,000,000 bales of cotton, 400,000,000 bushels of wheat, 600,000,000 bushels of corn, 400,000,000 pounds of linseed oil, 16,000,000 bushels of flaxseed, 70,000,000 pounds of dried eggs, 100,000,000 pounds of butter, also large quantities of tobacco, tung oil, dried fruit, turpentine, rosin, wool, soybeans, tur keys, peanuts, and walnuts. The storage expense is around $250,000 a day. . . . Tips. TRADING POST FOR SALE: Turning lathe with chisels. Also one well pump. For information contact James L. Hunter of the Finishing Department at his home on the Boylston Road. 26
