“A" SHIFT FINISHING
By Earl Bumgarner
This month has sure been a quiet one — no
babies born, no marriages, no divorces, and just
no nothing to talk about.
Dallas Smith grabbed his hat and coat and left
like a flash the other day. Usually when anyone
leaves in that big a hurry, you would think there
was going to be a new baby—and that’s just what
we thought, but in this case, "no dice.”
Since rabbit hunting season is over, there aren’t
any big tales being told, and some of the boys have
long faces as though they had lost their best friend.
Cheer up, "Hoot”, fishing season will be here soon.
The coke machine has been paying off lately.
James Adcock said there was nothing wrong with
the machine, but that we just get more for our
money under the new administration.
Joe Delk is in Wrap & Pack now and Fred
Warren is pretty lonesome spotting tubes, since
Joe is not there to sing to him.
Earl Berchfield has been all smiles for the past

attempt to supply you folks
with a bit of news about our

has arrived at Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Misenheimer’s.
The little daughter weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and was
born February 8. Johnny says Mother and daugh
ter are both doing O.K.
Andrew Hare traded cars last week and missed
three days work because he got "burnt” so badly
on his trade. He traded a Chevrolet for a Buick
with twin carburators and said, "it would pass
everything on the road except a gas station”.
Congratulations to James Gillespie and his new
bride, who were married on February 8. Ail the
boys wish you a happy married life and a nice
honeymoon trip.
All Merrit Jackson needed was a donkey with
those cowboy pants on. Is it true, Merrit? Did
you have to grease your feet in order to get them
through the legs? (Grady Jackson bought Merrit
a pair of cowboy pants if he would wear them.
Merrit wore them one day.)
Ernest Gilstrap said that he had lost 8 lbs., since
