PAPER DIVISION
CAFETERIA & CANTEEN
By Anne Kitchen
We had a short summer,
didn’t we! Just when every
body was planning a vacation,
Ole Man Winter came roar
ing back and froze out most
of the plans.
As for vacations, those en
joying theirs this month from
the Cafeteria v/ere: Divola, who spent her time
at Glenville Lake catching big fish; Joe Duck
worth, who spent his week at home fixing his
yard where it washed away; Vance Cagle, who
tried to catch up with his sleep, and, as for Doyle
Gillespie and Curtiss Chapman, we don’t have any
report of what they did.
L. C. Conner is leaving us to join the Merchant
Marines as a baker.
Those on the sick list from the Cafeteria are
Paul Patterson and Glenn Newton. Glad they are
able to be back to work.
We have several fishing tales from our depart
ment. Ethel Batson and your reporter went fish
ing — but never got a bite. Walter Perkins also
went fishing. He said if he had caught the one
that bit his hook and two more he; would have
had three. Floyd Taylor reports a good catch—so
many we are afraid to tell how many he caught.
(You’d never believe us, or him, either). Reeves
Ricker went to Glenville Lake and amidst the
awful storm Saturday caught 22.
Oliva English doesn’t mind the cold weather.
She took her family to Cascade Lake for a camp
ing-out expedition.
Above are Audrey, age 4, Charles Fredrick,
aeg 9, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Sherman. Fred is employed in the Cafeteria.
MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES
Employees, families and friends will pay trib
ute to the sixteen Ecusta employees who lost their
lives in World War II, on Friday, May 30. The
Memorial Day services will be held at Camp
Straus at 2:00 P. M.
The Memorial plot, situated at the head of the
lake, was dedicated on May 30, 1948.
A Guard of Honor consisting of Ecusta Vet
erans will place a wreath on the monument and
the Ecusta band will play several hymns. The
Reverend John D. Smith will lead the opening
and closing prayers. Mr. E. B. Garrett, Jr., will be
in charge of program arrangements.
REFINING
By Jack Rhodes
The following men were
recent vacationers in Refin
ing: Jack Wilber, Guy Emer
son, Harry Patterson, C. V.
Nicholson, W. B. Kilpatrick,
Burgess Owen, W. C. Mc-
Clung, Herbert Williams and
Ansel Jones
Jack Wilber and the missus spent their vaca
tion in Florida, soaking up that good Florida sun
shine and deep-sea fishing. I’ll bet Jack got caught
up on his sleep, too.
Most of the boys must be staying pretty close
home because we don’t hear too much about the
big one that got away.
Burgin Kilpatrick has a new grass cutting idea
— All you have to do is stake out a horse -or two
to graze and take a nice leisurely nap. When you
wake up, presto, your grass is cut.
Guy Emerson spent his vacation painting and
growling. Painting cause The Boss said so and
growling cause he couldn’t go fishing.
Friends of Leland Thomas will be glad to learn
that he is improving at the local hospital.
Mrs. Oscar Harbin is recuperating from a re
cent operatior!
Me, I’m tickled pink. My wife presented me
with a daughter on May 3. Named her Linda
Kathryn, and both she and her mother are do
ing fine.
Thats about all, so see you next month.
The important thing about a problem is not its
solution, but the strength we gain in finding the
solution.
