•'B” SHIFT FINISHING
By Joe Wilde, Jr.
Hi neighbor.
The year 1952 is almost
gone. Let’s all try to set at
least one good new years res
olution and stick to it.
For the month of Novem
ber most of the boys have
been talking about deer hunt
ing and Thanksgiving. "B” Shift happened to be
working graveyard the week we got the free tur
key dinner and a man’s appetite isn’t too good at
3:15 A. M. But most of the boys did well, any
way.
Luther Norton of Wrap and Pack got a 120 lb.
buck. Luther said he killed the deer with a New
Model 94, 30-30 Winchester. Howard Tiger went
along with Luther. One boy said Howard killed
a goat and thought it was a deer.
Several of the fellows are wondering what hap
pened to Charlie Clark’s and Duane Hooper’s mus
tache. Someone said, "Charlie had to cut his off
after he got glue in it”. There’s one of three things
that could have happened to Duane’s: he stepped
on it and pulled it off; his wife made him cut it
off; or as he has a habit of smoking cigarettes so
short, he could have set it afire.
A couple of guys on No. 5 said, "Now that deer
season is over, Harold Misenheimer will have to
pull away the heating pads he has been using to
keep his feet warm on these cool mornings.” And
he’ll also have to tear down the nest he has built
up in a tree to spot those deer. They might come
in handy next year, "Micie”.
Bob Stuart says Grady intends to build a house
as soon as he gets his 30 wood pallets. How about
that, Grady?
Harold Misenheimer would like to know what
is the matter with the sight on that new rifle of
yours, Carlos?
Several of the boys have been wondering how
many times Bob Stewart missed that big buck?
Harley Hampton and Andrew Hare hope James
Gilkspie will make a fast recovery from the love
sick blues.
I wonder what it is Bill Osteen likes about a
Ford convertible? ‘ Could it be a moonlight night
in the park with someone like - ?
Bob Whitaker would like to know how a man
gets a new road into his house. He’s wondering if
Horace Blythe could give him a few hints along
that line.
It seems that Tom Ellis has a hard time telling
Andrew Hare and Harley Hampton apart since
Andrew started weighing.
Ail the boys on "B” Shift would like to wel
come Frank Thompson. Frank transferred from
"C” Shift.
‘'C" SHIFT FINISHING
By Robert Taylor
Same ole story each month
when I ask for news. "Noth
ing now, but I’ll have some
next month.”
Harry Blake and wife en
joyed a week’s vacation in
Florida. Wouldn’t it be nice
to go to the beach in the
winter?
And another vacationer was Ashley Dickson.
Ashley spent a week of relaxation and hunting.
The hunting was no good. He saw one buck, but
it was too far away.
Here is a debatable question. Will the army or
matrimony get Paul Seagle? He is in line for both
this month. The bride to be is Betty Jennings
from Franklin. The wedding is to take place De
cember 22 in Franklin. Good luck, Paul.
Roland Mull still hasn’t made up his mind. He
had a ’49 Chevy traded for a Cadillac, back to his
Chevy and now he tells me he has a ’52 Chevy.
Roland, I think I would be sold on the last one.
Hayne Arthur is our new weigher from "A”
Shift. Welcome, Hayne. We hope you like work
ing with us. Our loss was Frank Thompson to
"B” Shift.
I wish Mack Gillian and Ralph Case would get
together and see which has the better car. They
are both getting about 35 miles a gallon—and the
speed is beyond my telling.
Fred Connor decided that two cars are not nec
essary, so he traded his A model on a calf. It seems
Harry Blake knew a good time for Fred to take it
to the market. He was accompanied by Harry and
the calf was purchased by Harry. (The beef mar
ket was down.)
Exploring Toxaway Falls are James M.itchell and
Stanley, the sons of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Smith of
Brevard. James is 22 months old and Stanley,
31/2 years. Robert is in Cellophane Finishing.
