MACHINE ROOM CONTINUED other night in a joking way of course. Not know ing his definition of "Fanatic”, McKelvin asked Clifford and the reply was "A man who can’t change his opinion and won’t change the subject”. I guess all of us have something sometime to boast about but Vallencourt started out the other night in full glory telling us he is the only person in the machine room that became an American citizen with his clothes on. Guess he had his glasses on also. Glen always has something to say but one thing about it, he can’t describe a beautiful girl without using his hands. Ralph Teague, the new owner of the former farm of Ballard, is quite disappointed. He has left the barn door open for the past twelve months and hasn’t a deer passed through yet. Ballard, we can’t blame you for taking the game with you. After all you have your rights. No one on this shift killed a deer yet, but they are trying. Bert Neal and Charles Tinsley tried very hard, but one thing we will never under stand and that is why Bert put nails in all four of Charles’ tires. One way to slow him down! Huh, Bert? Charles Tinsley is going back over to "Standing Indian”. Perhaps he will get close enough to "Sitting Bull” this time, or is it deer you are after? It never got out on Mr. Brewer, but when he was on his vacation this past summer in Texas he received a wire from someone at Ecusta—"Hope you are enjoying your vacation; we are!” Couldn’t have been anyone in the machine room, John. McCrary is trying to climb that same ladder with Bob Pierce. He is buying half interest in a beauty shop in Hendersonville. Wouldn’t Clif ford make a cute hair stylist? He has such smooth delicate little hands. Poteet’s youngest son came in the other day say ing that he was going to a formal dance. Being interested in his sons appearance, he was quite up set by not knowing where to get the boy a "tux”. Finally the boy said, "Pop, don’t worry so, the meaning of formal now is wearing a neck tie.” "C” SHIFT By Shelby Robinson Vacations for this month on "C” shift are: John Collins, who reports he had a quiet vacation at home although he made a trip to Greenville S. C.. Gerald Allison reports that he had too much work at home gathering his bumper crop of corn. Gerald had two weeks off. Clyde Shuford reports a nice vacation around home. Well! Glad to hear so. Clyde said that this was the first time he had missed "Graveyard” shift in about seven years. I’ll bet he hid the alarm clock. Sorry to hear that Walter Wood is in the hos pital for an operation, but understand that he is getting along very well. "D ” SHIFT By “Shorty” Fletcher Willie Nelson is the proud father of a 9 lb. 12 02. baby boy. He says he regrets that he wasn’t old enough to vote in this last election. He said his weight would have gone a long way in electing, his candidate. Tom Stroup has been out on vacation. They say he has been shooting deer bur some think it’s something else. "Peewee” Bell killed a deer on his five days off. He said "she” had two spikes. If you are sick and run down, see Dr. Clyde Seay. Luther King and Coy Fisher say he has- the pills that will fix you up. Footsie Case is trying to find a "seeing-eye dog” to take care of his blind pet hen. PULP MILL Dan Edens and Harry Morgan Don Haney has for sale a noiseless alarm clock that cannot be heard when the alarm goes off. If interested see Haney soon because he may re gain his strength and will be able to wind and set the alarm before he goes to sleep. Cecil Passmore has a very tired shot gun he would like to sell. It won’t quite reach the target if aimed at target over five minutes. He will consider trading for a good sling shot. Clarence Pressley wants to sell his hunting li cense. Although used, he says it is as good as new because he didn’t get his limit on any thing he hunted this fall. Better watch this because he is just trying to get even on a bet he lost on his deer hunt. Harry Crane is looking for a good compass to take along on the next hunting trip. He would even consider a good seeing eye dog if he could train him to tree coons. Some of the boys we know of in the Pulp Mill who killed a deer in the organized hunt in Pisgah National Forest are: Mack Hamlin, Clifford Sitton and Harry Crane. There were a lot of near misses reported but they don’t count when you sit down at the table and have to eat bologna and spam. We’re glad to have Hardy Kilpatrick and James Phillips back to work with us. They have been out several weeks. Hardy has been ill and Jim had an operation on his hand. Neither one is pretty but it is good to see them around again. 24
