"D" SHIFT COATING
By Nathan Reed
Boy, do the days really fly
from the time we leave our
first childhood. Oh well, it s
something to look forward to.
Maybe time will slow down
the second one. This month
really has flown by tho’. What
with all the happenings of an
administrative change in Washington, Supervisory
changes in the Tower, and boxing matches on
T.V. there has been little time to obtain news for
our popular little monthly.
We have noticed that guys from the upper end
of the county seem to have a sure cure for the flu.
One night recently a guy came in to work with
the flu bug chasing him. All during the shift he
got worse and worse. Red eyes, stopped up head,
sick tummy—all the symptoms. At the end of
the shift he went home, took a little medicine ,
and that night returned to work in tip-top shape.
How’s about letting us in on the medical secret
fellows? What with a flu epidemic going, I could
sure use some medicine like that as a precaution
ary measure.
Well, it seems that fish talk has already started.
Dewey Corn was seen recently checking the cal
endars, and I have a sneaking suspicion he has a
nice worm crop ready for fishing season when it
gets here.
"D” Shift welcomes Ed Sikkema to our shift.
Hope you like our shift, Ace. Maybe we should
warn you—^you might get an extended leave to
visit a little institution down Morganton way after
a few months with us.
Some crazy things sure do happen on this shift,
eh Carter? Carter had an extra pair of socks one
evening and by some quirk of fate they were wet.
So he hangs them by the toes in the ventilator
door of his locker. Next thing he knew they were
being tied in the door handles of his neighbors’
lockers. Also, guys were walking around with
knives threatening to cut them off. That could
become quite expensive, yes?
We would like to ask Carroll Bahnsen when the
new space phone is to be installed. All comments
on this installation will be kept strictly confi
dential.
That’s all folks.
Tiny electrically operated sprayer is just the
thing for modelmakers and for touch-up work
around the house with paints and enamels. It is
controlled by a finger-tip switch and operates on
110 volt, 60 cycle current. Sprayer is held in the
hand rather than by a handle, thus giving close
control of the application of paints, enamels,
lacquers, and certain insecticides.

is employed in the Cellophane Cafeteria. Mrs. Ed
wards was formerly employed in Paper Finishing.
