TECHNICAL By Jack McCall Our sympathy goes to Gar ris Parker who lost his mother on July 16. Blaylock and Co., are doing r laiJ^ooming business this year with blackberries. f Ernest Maney doesn’t want \ ' anything to do with any ber ries. He hasn’t quiet recovered from his last trip through a briar patch. Jack Fenwick is still working hard with his golf team. He seems to enjoy the game, even though a few backaches creep in. Roy Morris, Tommy Payne and Luther Fisher are sporting the latest thing in shirts. Real air- conditioned jobs. Jim Furr really has a "green thumb” for vines. The ones growing around his home are 36 feet long already and he is still pinching them off. Jim Winget at last has a fish story about the one that got away. He fought a giant rainbow for a couple of hours or so and would have landed him for sure—if he hadn’t stopped for lunch. Don Poteet brought in a 21-inch bass. He said he had to throw the big one back. The waterline dropped so low when he pulled the fish from the lake, that his boat struck bottom. So, rather than wade out, he threw the fish back. Oh well! SHIFT CASTING By Thomas L. Hooper With the month of July gone, two more guys will have to wait another year for vacations. John Thomas enjoyed him self in Tennessee visiting rel atives, while Clyde Galloway went south to Georgia. Clyde visited relatives also. Buddy Hooper took his 5 days off and made a flying trip to Virginia and Maryland visiting rela tives. It seems Fred McCall traded for a Pontiac, but kept it so secret that it has taken us two months to find out about it. Never too late for a free ride though. July was a lucky month for Dick and Eula Lan- dreth. Dick had the luck ticket, but it seems that he does not have "eatin” money. Wonder where his wife got those silver dollars? If you want Sunday pants for the price of work pants, call Carl Watson. After wearing some classic ones to work and being kidded about them, he argued they were cheap, but we wonder. The best story of all this month is about Earl Garren. I understand he purchased two registered beagles from John Bradley. Then after taking the dogs home, all they wanted to do was run cows. Now, Earl is wondering if they are kin to a collie. MAINTENANCE By Bob Parker It seems that July was a very quite month, as there wasn’t much news for this re porter. We don’t have a complete vacation list for last month, but the names of those we could get were: J. L. Mills, H. G. Bailey, C. P. Link, and George Sexton. Don’t guess anyone could guess what George Sexton did on his week off. Anyhow George made a good showing even if be didn’t come but on top. H. G. Bailey made a trip up north and returned with a pretty good treat for some of us. It looks like the Army has learned to get along without Captain Bacon. At any rate they didn’t send for him this year. If the Army is going' to treat him that way he might have to ship over to the Navy. It looks as if Carrol Fletcher is the only new papa for this month. Congratulations, Carrol.^ If you have any good news let us know about it, you might win a booby prize. See you next month. Miss Jency Luevenia McCall, daughter of Mrs. Vinessa 0. McCall, became the bride of Richard R. Lambert, Sunday, June 21. The ceremony was performed in the Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Cherryfield. Mrs. Lambert works in Planning. 20
