"A" SHIFT COATING
By Lonnie Jones
Echo time again, and I am
rushing as usual to get this
report in on time.
With this report we are
starting a new year and we
hope that ’54 will be full of
health and happiness for all.
Melvin Atkinson returned
from a week’s vacation in Florida. Melvin re
ported that the weather did not cooperate. He
said it was very cold and rainy all during his trip.
All the boys wish to thank him for the tree
ripened oranges. They were very good, Melvin.
We wish to welcome to A Shift, Joe Barnette.
He is replacing Troy Williams who was trans
ferred to C Shift. Joe, you will have a hard time
filling Troy’s shoes. He kept A Shift on their
toes all the time.
Gorden Hollingsworth has been fussing about
the new T.V. station in Greenville. It seems that
Gorden cannot pick up Greenville. To remedy
the situation, he will have to move his antenna
up on the hill above his house and the lead-in will
cost him about ten dollars. I hope you enjoy it,
Gorden, when you get it rigged up.
Shown above is 16-months old Mark Winchester,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Winchester of Brevard.
Ray is employed in the Coating Dept. (Film Div.)
"D" SHIFT COATING
By Nathan Reed
Here goes with the "Signs
of the Times” as observed by
"Uncle Na-Bob”.
Numerous employees of
Coating have reported seeing
the following sign down Jim
Dalton’s way. "RABBIT
FARM — SUPERVISORS
ONLY —
J, Dalton, Mgr.”
Auto Dept.: "Ace” Sikkema was reported
"drooling” at the recent showing of the new
Pontiacs.
Joe Norman was seen sporting a ’48 Plymouth
Special. He claims it is the cleanest car of its age
anywhere—challenges anyone to prove otherwise.
D. Sams was seen proudly admiring his new
jitney. Maybe he will get to chauffeur some of
the fellows on future sporting expeditions.
H. Waldrop is awfully quiet these days. He is
either figuring out a way to get out of some in
come tax—or worrying about the sum of his own
figuring. Here’s one thing for sure: You’ll have
plenty of company in the next couple of months.
Arnold Carter started the new year right by
partaking of a wonderful thing called: VACA
TION.
Tom McCall really appreciated the little "Bun
dles of Troubles” left him by Paul Ledbetter.
From Paul himself comes the following "Bit of
Wit”—and I quote: "If we have another depres
sion it will be because Ollie Bryson took all his
money out of the Banks!” unquote.
C Shift wishes to welcome Ace and Troy Wil
liams to their shift.
Notice! A ca'sualty; one rabbit.
Ownership: Unknown. Cause of Death; Deadly
cross fire from the weapons of Bryson, Mackey
and Batson. Results: No rabbit, for anyone.
Harold Orr is still diligently working on his
new home. Poor boy. He’s working himself to
death.
Many of you will remember the many varied
experiences of Tom Sawyer.
To our midst comes a modern version of the
same. Has anyone seen Tom "Sawyer” Hubbard
lately.^
That’s all —
