JULY, 1945 POINT-CREST Page Three OFFICE Buck Davis is beginning to wonder al)out the mental eondition of some of his office girls. Recently he noticed that when two of them returned from lunch the)' were walking backwards! Seems that they think it’s not half as hard to come back to work on a hot day when they walk backwards, be cause they think they are just coming out! Well, vacation time finally got here! I'hc first of June found Kat Church up in the hills of I'enn, building up Joe’s spirits. Dot Woodell enjoyed a week along the shores of Carolina Beach. From all reports, it seems that the next week \\hcn Dot came back to work, every one thought she was a new office maid. Eleanor Parlier’s condition is really getting serious. Several days ago she got on the bus and gave the driver a letter in stead of a bus check. Mildred Poovey has been trans ferred from Copping to Warp Room. Glad to have you with us, Mildred. Annie Sloan took a trip to White j Lake last week-end. We hope you had I a nice time, Anne. Ruth Lanier has been out of work due to sickness in her home. We are glad your mother is better and glad to have you back at work. Marjorie Hinnant took the 4th of I July and her vacation all at once. We hope you had a nice time, Marjorie. Inez.

C. ^ We extend our sincere sympathy to Frank Fowler in the passing of his father. : Pearl Samuels has been out of work a few days due to her baby being sick. David Grubb is real proud of his i tomatoes which he raised in his own garden. I’hey are just the right size and so delicious. HIGH I'OIN I OFFICE Seems as if the beach is a popular place this summer. Nancy, Carleen, Evelyn, and Lucille vacationed one week at Carolina Beach. It’s hard to tell, but from the sunburns, it looks as if Carolina Beach painted them red rather than them painting the town red. All report a wonderful time. CJcorge Gibhardt also spent his vaca tion at the beach, but he went “just a little bit South of North Carolina” to Myrtle Beach. Says he had a grand time. PREPARATORY DEPT. It seems that half of our depart ment is in the hospital or has just come out, Vangie Comer and Goldie Bowers arc both able to go home, but Mary Evelyn Fairrington and Aron Sweezer are still there. Aron is at Duke Hospital wlrilti the rest are in High Point Hospitals. Our heartiest wishes to them for a speedy reco\'ery. ‘ Looks good to sec Millard Smith' back in the Warping Department now. He transferred from the Copping Department. It seems that Clcnimie Handy had a chance to go to Burlington recently with Epsie and Clayton Clark. 1 lope all had a fine time. We extend a hearty welcome to Marvin Cooper and hope he enjoys working with us. Also to Edith Size- more who came to the Warp Room from the Copping Department. Here’s hoping that Olean Lane has had a nice week at Myrtle Beach, S. C. \'acationing a little was Eleanor Cox, who recently spent the week-end at Carolina Beach. Lena Brown recently spent the week-end at Danville, Virginia visit ing friends and relati\es. Mrs. Nina Wiley, former copper, now of Burlington, N. C., made a surprise visit to the plant recently.

You can look around most anytime and see Fletcher whisthng or singing. 'I’he reason for all this is the fact that he has a new daughter at his home. Congratulations to you, IHctcher. We welcome Garland Bryant to the first shift. Garland is doing a good job i filling shuttles. We hope vou enjoy I working with us. Garland. I A. E. Sain spent the week-end with his son in Marion, Virginia, recently. Mr. Sain said he enjoyed the moun- , tam scenery very nuicli but we think I the old Virginia ham they ser\'cd him vas the main attraction.

Betty is the wife of Sam Hunt, former weav er on the third shift but is now in the armed service.

C., and services at Cascade Baptist Church at Cascade, Virginia. We welcome Gilbert Moser back on the second shift after having worked for some time on the third shift. Our best wishes go with Blanche Kennedy who is leaving the plant this month. Brooks Huff took his \acation the week of June 10th and from the re ports, he tried a little carpenter work but due to the lack of materials, or was it manpower, or maybe just the hot weather, he only liiade a hen house. The beaches seem to be the fa\ orite of most people. Grace Davis spent the week of June 17th at Ocean View, Virginia; Jack Holland and Frank Weedon spent some time at Myrtle Beach, S. C.; also, Mary Ring and family spent a week at Myrtle Beach visiting relatives and swimming. l'’armer is stuck for two dollars! We ha\e heard of running all o\er town for meat, but ha\e you e\'cr heard of running the meat all o\er town. Pearl Martin and Noah Garner did just that. After taking turns toting it home, they had about decided it was the greasy pig. F\en this meat story has its points. , Henry Allen recently \isitcd rela- I tives in Aiken, S. C. I Easter Johnson spent a week re cently in Alabama with her father who has been sick. 1 he third shift has two great fish ermen, they are Wesley Spillman and Grady Combs. 'I'hey call it grabbling.

We could use some on our picnic, boys. John Raby is back with us on third shift after being on second for a while. Glad you arc back, John.

We were glad to see Bob Burns come through the mill one night re cently. Come to sec us more often. Bob. \M.ay e Pres&nt Presenting the month’s camera catch—“Jack-it-up 'I'hompson and Jcrk- it-out Cook”—two of llillcrest’s spin ning fixers and automobile mechanics. In the picture we see these two guys giving an automobile engine a really down-the-country workout, and you can bet your life that when they get through it 11 run like a top too. I'his, ’s you have probably guessed, is their hobby and after leaving the mill, you ?an practically always find them at heme, giving some car the works. During these war times when evcry- Mie needs to take particularly good are of their cars, and repair shops arc ^0 rushed, Hillcrest has two of the inest mechanics anywhere, ready and :ble. They are experienced in any line -relining brakes, overhauling motors ind repairing anything else that may be found on a car. Ha\ing worked in machine shops before, Thompson and Cook really know the “who’s and what’s” of an engine. They have done '•epairs on many cars that belong to Hillcrest workers, and their work is veil reconunended. William Cook, formerly a first shift 'pinning fixer, will by the time he sees 'lis picture in the Point Crest, be a 1. in Uncle Sam’s army. William ':une to work at Hillcrest in January, 1939, and has been a \cry good worker. His wife and family live on '^oute No. 3. Well, it seems that from "ow on he’ll be fixing jeeps and peeps ; nstead of traps and trucks! Hawley Thompson came to work nt Hillcrest in 1938. He is a second 'hift spinner fi.xer. Hawley and his family li\e on Potts Street. So folks, if you start to work, your car hits on one, and you think that the only way you'll ever get there will be on a foot and prayer, just come right on, ’cause with one of these fellows around, you can always be sure of being able to drive your car home! y ■n;s J HAWLEY THOMPSON WILLL\IV1 COOK
