Devotional Thoughts “Be careful for nothing; hut in everything hy prayer and suppli cation with thanksgiving let your requests he made known unto God”.—Phi 1.4:6. Most of us associate failure with carelessness and success with care fulness. In spite of this thought, there are careful failures also. It is possible to be so careful about your health, your business and home that careful failures may re sult in them. Jesus once said— “Martha, thou art careful of many things”. You can be so careful in any walk of life that you will count for little. The man who wrapped the talent given him by his Master and hid it .away failed because he was too careful. Lots of people have gone through life unknown—not because there was no opportunity to succeed — but because they were too careful to venture forward. There is gold left in the hills for the man who dares to dig it There are mountains of fame no man has dared to climb. There are adventures with God that no man ever has experienced. We need men who dare to take action in the world and in the church. Many of the disciples were so careful that they are rarely men tioned or known today. Where does this thought find you? Jesus said, “If you save your life you will lose it. But if you lose your life for my sake, you will find it.” Are you losing or saving your life? —Rev. J. N. Stancil, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church. Office News Miss Lillian Walker spent a week of her vacation in Atlantic City, New Jersey recently. Lil really e n j o y e d her trip “up north.” . . . Miss Evelyn Toler has been out a few days due to illness but lias fully recovered and is on the job. Evelyn and her boy friend have been on several fish ing excursions recently. She re ported plenty of bites—by mos quitoes. . . . Miss Rachel Land has resigned as receptionist and Mrs. Vera Viverette has accepted this position. We are glad to have you with us, Vera. Ben Thomas spent his vacation at Camp Tuscorara near Golds boro with the Boy Scouts of Troop 8, for whom he is Scout master. We understand the week was a very pleasant one for both Thomas and his Scouts although it was rumored the cooking was not quite up to par at all times. . . . Misses Evelyn Davis and Gladys Gardner enjoyed a week’s vacation recently at Carolina Beach. Mrs. Daisy Jolley spent her vacation at Carolina Beach also. . . . Miss Elsie Jane Dorsett visited her sister in Westminister, S. C. Cecil Lewis has bought an auto mobile at last. Lewis sold his Chevrolet last November for a nice profit, thinking he would be able to buy a new car immedi ately. He had been walking until recently. After seeing his latest purchase, we wonder if he will not be walking even now. The “new” car is a Packard 120 four door sedan (one of the doors has a glass in it now). In 1937 this was a real automobile. Today it will run if you can manage to turn on the switch. Congratula tions, Cecil! We hope this car will serve you well and faithfully. . . . Miss Frances Anderson spent a week end at Wrightsville Beach recently—and with no ill effects from the sun. The rain came just in time, according to Miss Ander son. • . . E. H.

Mrs. Langley, the former Miss Pattie Joyner, was employed in the Mending Department and Mr. Langley is a second shift em ployee of the Weaving Depart ment. AUGUST, 1941 News From Dyeing and Finishing Department Bill Marsh is now a motor cycle enthusiast, evidently catch ing the fever from Frank Brock and Reide Satterfield. We hear he is trying to buy a motorbike. . . . A lot of the people at the picnic stayed even after the rain to hear “Sport” Satterfield sing in the quartet contest and to hear the orchestra. For reasons unknown the quartet sang without “Sport” and the rain squelched the orches tra. This was the only disappoint ment at the picnic and up until the time the rain fell, everyone had a swell time. . . . The Fin ishing Department employees had a grand time on August 10 at the picnic placing winners either in first, second, or third place in many contests. Mrs. Sam Lang ley, the former Miss Dorothy Whitley, of the Finishing Depart ment reigned third in the bath ing beauty contest. We wonder why Vester May Cone smiled constantly when Wal ter Greenman reported to work after being out due to an ailing back. We hope he was glad to see Greenman at work again. Bill Williams, as usual, landed a good job at the picnic. Bill’s substitute for operating the loud ATKINSON-STANCIL Miss Pauline Stancil, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Stancil of Elm City, and S-C Engineer Ran dolph Atkinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Atkinson of Micro, were united in marriage on Fri day, August 2, 1946 in Dillon, S.

Mr. Langley was an employee of the Wilson Division but he has been trans ferred to Caromount recently. Mr. and Mrs. Langley are re siding at Rocky Mount, Route 4. speaker system got lost after th first hour and Bill had to takf over for the entire day. He die • a swell job and we hope he has better luck next time. It was only natural that the Beauty Queen would be one fron the Finishing Building. Mrs Mavis Thomas, the winner, work in the Dyehouse Office. However this is not an invitation to conr* down there. Except for being mar ried, we could promote her fo> Miss America . . . Paul Hill of thf Drug Room entered the suitcasf race. Frankly, we were disappoint ed in him. He just couldn’t gei his partner dressed. Walter Harrison reported Fort Bragg on August 21 fo medical examination. See tb world, says Uncle Sam. . . . Bil Rotters and his family spent thei second week’s vacation with Bill folks in Connecticut. If anyone sees an old stoope‘ man staggering through'the mill run for the stretcher or reach fo a crutch. For the benefit of an! newcomers, that similarity to ' hoop is coincidentally Walt Greefl man. That is what happens who' you sit too much in a barrf shaped rocking chair.
