'D" SHIFT COATING By Nathan Reed The cost of living sure has gone up recently — Whew! Ten cents an ounce for fish and you still have to catch them? City fish markets should really make money now — selling the ones that didn’t get away to take home and show. One of our cohorts was telling of an expedition recently. He said it was one time he was praying he wouldn’t catch a big one, and, if he did, he was going to throw rod, reel and all back. He said he could buy new tackle much cheaper than he could pay for a fish. Harry Jones and I are going to have to get to gether one of these first times and collaborate a little. I still believe he helped himself along when he stayed on the relief job so long. Since the last writing Harry Laughter spent one week of graveyard on vacation. By request the following is printed—as the say ing goes—as a public service presentation; D Shift is trying to cut the cost of clothing for a prospective highway patrolman from this shift. Immediately upon hearing of his plan, fellow em ployees started making his uniform with an eye to efficiency and economy. At last hearing they had completed a dual purpose head gear and had start ed on other articles of clothing. Joe Barnette, one of our newer men, is planning to enter another state soon—the State of matri mony. His present plans for getting "hitched” call for a ceremony on May 14. Congrats, Joe. May you have many, many years of marital bliss. Ed Morley recently spent a vacation at Daytona Beach, Florida. His vacation coincided very nice ly with the Mrs. America contest at Ellimor Village. MAINTENANCE By Bob Parker Well, now that fishing is well under way, I guess there have been quite a few big ones that got away. At any rate, we haven’t heard of any large ones caught. In fact, the largest report so far was about the 500 caught by Jim Allison, (but he had to buy them). Johnny (Muscks) Harris has told of catching quite a few in number but never had anything to say about size. Those having official vacations during the past month are as follows; C. B. Lyday, W. E. Rahn Above are Robert and Sharon Morley, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morley of Bre vard. Robert is 8 years old and Sharon is 16, Sharon has appeared on several T. V. Programs in Buffalo, N. Y., where the Morleys lived before moving to Brevard. Ed is in Film Coating. C. E. Chapman, J. W. Crary, J. C. Akins, H. D. Carr and last but not least—old golf-playing G. R. Sexton. We don’t know what the others did outstanding while on vacation, but George at least got his picture in the paper. Also, we don’t want to forget the crate of oranges J. C. sent us. We hope "Buck” Roberts will be returning to work soon. He has been on Leave of Absence for the past month. It seems that Gaston Siniard was the only father passing out cigars this past month. We would like to express our sympathy to Fred Brown and his family for the loss of his brother this past month. FILM OFFICE By Guyma Fenwick and Billie Hart Florida’s attractions must be greater than ever this year, because that is where everyone wants to spend their vacation. Anne Aikens and Guyma Fenwick each spent a week there last month and are sporting sun tans to prove it. Bobby Black mounted his black and golden steed and also rode southward in search of a "dark skinned blonde”. Helen Jo Manley was left holding the bag— mail bag that is—while Bobby was away. After all, "the mail must go through.” If anyone needs any spring painting done, just call on Bill Alexander. Bill spent his vacation painting his house and it really looks nice. We are glad to have Allie Marie Sentelle with us. She replaced Annette Tinsley Turner who left the Stenographic Pool last month. April birthday wishes go to T. R. Mitchell and G. C. Yehling. 21
