MACHINE ROOM By Burder Teague and Robert Head The Machine Room extends their deepest sympathy to the family of Arthur Shook. Glenn Cunningham is the proud father of a IV2 lb. girl. From all reports everyone really enjoyed the 4th of July Picnic at Camp Harry H. Straus. It’s a good place to go on the 4th. We see a lot of our friends that we haven’t seen for quite a spell. A person can really enjoy themselves at such a well planned program—plenty of refreshments plus that big picnic basket that we all bring. Of course, the program ends up with a good baseball game, and, if you weren’t too tired you probably went to the Sylvan Valley Folk Festival. Sure was a beau tiful day, wasn’t it. Guess you photographers got a lot of good shots at the Camp that day. See you folks up there again next year—and at the Sylvan Valley Folk Festival, too. Yes sir, I done had breakfast with Lash La- Rue! Yep, he was up in Cherokee. Ran into him up there when I was trying to draw up a peace- treaty with the Indians. Well, that’s all I got time fer, folks! Got to be gittin’! Hi-ho, Stinker A-W-A-Y—!! Yes folks, Paul Roberts of the Machine Room had breakfast with Lash La-Rue (The Cow Boy with the whip) in Cherokee while he was there on a fishing trip the first week of July. Haven’t been able to keep Paul under control since. Went up town the other morning. Didn’t see Red Thomas on any of the corners—must have been sick (.??.??) Too much buttermilk, I guess, but he said that he had rather stay here in N. C. Clyde Shuford, "Slim” Williams, Gerald Alli son, and Walt Woods reported that television pro grams were pretty good the 2nd week of July. There’s room for arguments, of'course. James Morgan, Floyd Goodson and Roy Orr had a narrow escape the other day. The car in which they were riding slid on wet pavement and turned over several times. James Morgan is still trying to collect for the window glass that Roy and Floyd kicked out trying to get out of his over turned car. Carl Bryson is sporting a new ’52 Ford. Roy Compton is still trading cars. He had a ’52 Model Packard from last reports. Joe Jones said that he was drilling for oil the other day when his picture was taken on the tractor. Fellows enjoying vacations this month are as follows; Floyd Goodson, Lewis Bagwell, O. T. Mc- Kelvin, Harold Guice, Sherman Ducker, Luther King, Adam Robinson, Olin Edney, Ike Gilliam, Bruce Baynard, W. A. Surrett, Milton Pace, J. C. Morgan, Frank Barton, Wae Mann, W. E. Kilpat rick, Burnice Roberts, A. L. Poteet,—Good Gosh! Who did we have left to run the machines?.^ Jimmy Jones says that he expects to be in the new home—come winter time. Earl Frady was as busy as a bee the other day when Ike walked up and asked Earl what he was writing. Earl answered, "Writing a letter.” Ike says, "Who to”. Earl said, "To myself.” Ike said, What does it say? Earl said, "How in the world do you expect me to know? I won’t get the letter until day-after-tomorrow!” The East Fork Rod & Gun club treated them selves to a good turtle (couger) supper the other riite. There was plenty of Couger ’ for everyone present. New club officers were elected and they are as follows: Wilson Hoyle Gregory, President; Clyde Gustavus Jones, Secretary-Treasurer; Obie Robbie Willingham, Chief Cook; Fred Otis Stroup, Chief Delicatessen (food sampler, that is—and a really good one, too). Shown above is Cpl. Joseph E. Whitaker, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Whitaker and former member of the Ecusta baseball team. He is stationed at the Rapid City Air Force Base at Weaver, South Da kota. His father is employed in the Maintenance Department. 25
