Green St. the other day — N\'ell, it seems he had bought some motor oil up town and found he left his money at the plant. W'ouldn't you hurr>' too? We extend our sympatln- to David Robertson in the death of his mother- in-law. Henry Smith tells us his brother, James, is in a serious condition. W'e are all sorry and hope he will soon recover. Le.xie and Nell Laster won’t have to worr>' about the high meat prices — Their mother and father from Elkin came for a visit recently and brought them a beautiful ham. We were \er\- sorr\- to lose Ava Brown and Ica Lemouds to the first shift. W'e miss you both but wish you the best of luck. LaVern Bivens is cjuite excited o\er the lovely diamond Hobert Floyd gave her. Wedding ])lans will be complete real soon. Ilie third shift 5-B & U. S. T.

W’e are glad to welcome Edgar Whitaker back to work after quite an extended illness. W'onder why no one has been seeing much of “Bob” Melton? Seems his cheeks were all jjuffed out. Never too old for the mumps, huh, “Bob”? ^ W'e were glad to ha\e Mary Fowler with us for a short while on the second shift. Mary has gone to Lexington to be instructor in the new 'I'hrowing plant. Luck to yon, Mary, in both your new job and home. We were all sorr> to learn of the death of Myrtle Neese’s sister-in-law, Mrs. George Mangestern. George Rudd’s wife is in a serious condition in the Boulevard Unit of the High Point Memorial Hospital. We sincerely hope she will soon recover and return to her home. Louise Miller is wearing a happy smile from ear to ear these days — Why? Because she has a new grand son. Our dec))est sympathy is extended to Kinnie Moore in the death of his brother, Ruppert. W'e will all miss Margie Everliart who has left us. Best of luck, Margie. Ava Brown’s boy friend must be quite a guy. He is always sending her something from Germany, lovely brace lets, ear rings, etc. Now we notice she IS wearing a diamond — W'onder what he will send her next? WEAVE ROOM W e are glad to have Gladys Hill working with us and hope she enjoys working with us. Anyone needing a jury man, just see Luther Vuncannon. Seems he has had a bit of experience lately. Jack Harris was on the sick list but we are glad he has recovered and is now working. Carl luttle and his wife went to Horida recently to attend the funeral of .Mrs. Tuttle’s brother. At first glance, one might think we had some new employees in our de partment, but a second look and we recognize them as former workers with us. W'e are very happv to welcome these back- Helen Holland, Maxine Jrloneycutt, Blanche Kennedy, and Myrtle Hunt. W'e are glad to take C. W'. Cagle and Carl Keever off our sick list and best wishes to Harrison Luck for a speedy recovery. Gertrude W^agoner and Edd Dur ham are both doing nicely following a tonsil operation.

He is re covering satisfactorily. Evelyn Durham reecntly spent a week in Baltimore, Md. Heard a be;ir story lately? See Ernie Spell about the one who made his bed in Ernie’s hay stack during the recent bitter weather. Sure enough he saw the tracks in the snow. W'onder who made them faster, Ernie or the bear? James Windham has been spending several week-cnJ^n Stokes County. Clarence HoBSHi has been on the sick list. Hope he is much better. Vernon Webb is just about well now and we know he is happy.

Hillcrest Weddings White-Church V'irginia Irene W'hite, Hillcrest re drawer, bec-ame the bride of W'yatt C. Church, Jr., oi) Saturday night, March 22nd at the Archdale Friends Church. 'I’he marriage vows were read by Rev. Clifton C. Pearson using the double ring ceremony in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Church, brother and sister-in-law of the groom. The bride, an attractive brunette, wore a spring cut-away suit of white, pink blouse, flowered hat, and black accessories. At her shoulder she pinned a corsage of pink roses. Irene is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. W'hite of Dobson, N. C. She has been an employee of Hillcrest since 1939, although she served from 1943 to 1946 as a member of the Women’s Army Corps. Mr. Church, son of Mr. and Mrs. W'. W'. Church of Archdale, is employed by W'illiam- Clark Realty Co. 'i he couple will live at 510 Steele Street. Our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Church. Thompson-Thompson Estella Thompson, first shift em ployee at Hillcrest, \\as married to Ben jamin T. Thompson at the York Methodist Church in York, S. C., on February 21, 1947, at 7 p.m. After a wedding trip to SiKer Springs, Deland, and Daytona Beach, Moricia, the newlyweds returned to High Point where they are making their home at 803 North Main Street. It takes the average car traveling at 20 miles an hour 191 feet to stop on a toad covered with glaze ice, says the National Safety Council. Chains on the rear wheels reduce this stojiping dis tance to 110 feet, and chains on all four wheels allow the car to stop in 85 feet. A TALE ABOUT OLE MAN WINTER Snow — Snow — Snow. All winter at the slightc’st cloudy sky, Beulah Kidd. Hillcrest employee, has been haird to remark, “I wish it would snow.” Snow and winter came even to the sunu) South, but still Beulah had that un- siitisfied longing to see feet — not inches — of snow. So the last of I’’eb- ruary, a time when Ole Man W'inter was having a fe;ist-day, Beulah headed on a trip to the snowy North — New York State. When she arrived in New York Cit\ she found little snow to her disma>’, but who had time for snow? Crossing in a taxi from Pennsylvania Station to Grand Central Station, her snow\- niind was too occupied b\' the hustle and bustle of traffic, taxis and people literally shooting around. 'Ilic big question was "wlio was going to get hit.” W'ell, she made it across town, but only after her cab ga\e another not too serious bang. Now, back to the snow, as the train headed Wt'st from New York City, Beulah’s eyes got bigger for there were miles on miles of frozen Hudson River and snow. W'hen she reached her desti nation of Rome, New York, she found her desire for it snowed for four days straight. There were snow plows to cle;ir the streets and sidewalls, and children bundled from heiid to toe inlaying in snow as if it were sand. Beulah said it was rc"ally a thrill and a lieautiful sight. It might amaze her to know that the ix;ople of Rome, New York dream all winter of the Sunny South — no remarks, please. One would think that for a Southerner, four days of snow would be sufficient, but a cloudy day appeared recentlv and Beulah still s;iid, “I wish it would snow.” Newly-Weds ... «. PREPARAIORY DEPAR'IMENl Glad to see Eva Millikan back at work after a three month’s illness. Hope you are feeling much better, Eva. If anyone has a piece of steak they c-an spare. Bill York is in need of it for that beiuitiful “shiner” he has. He says he got it playing tag, but then you know there's always the door-knob to run into. W'e see Alvas Smoot driving a I'ord around now . Guess his Buick needed a rest. Remember Walt Dickey and Johnny Bivens are our two beauty contestants. How about some returns on that con test. We want to know the outcome. W’alt is sick at the present time but we know he will be back soon. W'e welcome Edith Maywood, Kath leen Suggs, 'Ihehna Needham and Floyd Vickers to the second shift Cop ping. IIojK' you will enjoy working vvith us. Helen IDeGraff has been on the sick list. Hope she is much better. W'e wish for Eva Mae Bare a speedy recoverv from a recent operation. Stanley Hayworth, did you succeed on vour trip to Guilford College? \\'e sincerely hope that Bessie Gonde is improving after her visit to the hos pital. W'e are glad to ha\e Thurman Samuels on the third shift. Hope he enjoys working with us. Frances Tuttle recently visited Sgt. and Mrs. W'illiam P. McDade at their home in Fayetteville.
