SHEETING ROOM
By Willoree Garland
Lorena O’Kelly and husband, Van, recently went
to Glenville to fish. Lorena didn’t tell us very
much about the fish she caught, but she did tell us
about getting a crick in her neck.
Ray Keener has been taking advantage of the
several days he’s worked second shift. He’s been
building a chicken lot, and getting lots of sun
shine, too.
Callie Talky and family enjoyed the weekend
by visiting friends in Hickory and Charlotte.
Ralph Patterson had a flat tire coming to work
one morning. Ralph, you should start to work 30
minutes early, or buy some new tires.
We’ve been thinking of buying Lewis Meece
either a scooter or some roller skates, so he won’t
have trouble getting from one department to an
other. It would save on his shoe wear, too.
Elizabeth Barnette has been going to lots of
movies at Skyland Drive-In lately. There must be
some interesting movies shown there.
Ules Bryson has been coming to work awfully
sleepy these mornings. He says the baby keeps
him awake.
Helen Manley enjoyed a camping trip. She’d
better enjoy them now, for winter is just around
the corner.

"A" SHIFT SLITTING
Charles Ziegler is reported to be recovering
nicely in the Mission Hospital in Asheville. I’m
sure all the fellows join me in wishing him a
speedy recovery.
Edwin Mann reports he finally found a house
to rent in Brevard. Much better than driving to
and from Canton. This gives him about two more
hours a day for his favorite hobby, which is sleep
ing.
With baseball season coming to a close, the local
nimrods are turning to thoughts of blowing the
cobwebs out of the favorite "shootin’ iron” at a
squirrel or two. However, no one seems to be hav
ing any luck so far. I know none of you fellows
are careless with your "shootin’ irons” so I won’t
mention it.
Will somebody lay the foundation for Charles
Aikens’ house.^ He can’t seem to get started.
Want to buy a house trailer? Consult Charles
Breedlove. This should be a good one, Charles
built it himself. If you see a trailer along the
highway somewhere, stop and knock. He’ll be
home.
Anyone interested in "pulling” for the Red Sox
and the Dodgers, please contact "Rusty” Carland.
He’ll help you pull.
Ballard Smith comes to us this week as service
man. He was on the Standby crew at Ecusta for
about two weeks. Welcome, Ballard, we hope you
like it here.
Get sleepy on 12-8 shift.? Try some of Hugh
Allens pills. They are guaranteed to keep you
awake.
Well, it will soon be time for the wool shirts
and "thick britches” again. Seems like in summer
you wait for the fall and in the fall you wait for
summer. So it goes.

"B" SHIFT SLITTING
There seems to be a slitting contest between
Clint Morris and Bob Whittaker. Keep up the
good work and may the best man win.
We hope that Doyle Stamey soon recovers from
his operation and will be back with us soon.
If anyone is looking for work see Elgin Ledford.
He has about ten bushels of potatoes he wants
dug.
Here’s a hint to the housewife. If your husband
doesn’t help around the house, it is high time you
found out that he is a wonderful housekeeper. The
men really keep their positions clean here. Keep
up the good work.
If you are wondering who is going to win the
ball game (any ball game) just ask Otis Guice.
His predictions are about 99% right.
Will someone please donate Richard Clark a
clock he can hear. Better still, Dick, I suggest that
you get married, then you will be sure to get to
work on time. Dick is our core-cutter and is very
essential here, therefore, we need him every min
ute.
We welcome to our shift Tom Rogers. He is our
new service man. He was transferred to us from
the paper plant. We hope you will like it here
with us, Tom.

"C" SHIFT SLITTING
It’s nice in the fall of the year to see the dif
ferent persons come to work with an assortment
of wool shirts and sweaters. I wonder if they are
