Six THE MILL WHISTLE February 18, 1946 One of his first activities was to obtain Marion Edwards as his secretary, who is a welcome addition to any department. Pat Litaker has finally settled down to work for Willie Williams which is cer tainly something for Pat as she has sub stituted for several engineers. Robert Bunn has been noted making week-end trips recently. What is the attraction in Norfolk, Robert? Fred Sturtevant has been noted eating several times during the day recently. Evidently the pleasant spring atmos phere has sharpened his appetite. Joe Arnoult reported that he had one frost-bitten finger, ear and nose.- Evi dently obtained from looking out of the open side of his car. Smiling Larry Richards h a s a new neophyte in his training department, Ed Michaels, a recent addition to the per sonnel department. (Note to Larry— Please get some new Charlie Chaplin film or Mickey Mouse film to as to relieve our thoughts during these ap proaching spring days.) In conclusion it is certainly nice to know that we assist the Rayon Mill re porters. In addition to bus schedules, we also have antidotes for overeating sweets, possibly some new fudge recipes would help. It’s human to try to be great, but it s great to try to be human.
